Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the insurance company that offers your variable annuity or variable life insurance contract may no longer send you paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the insurance company or your financial intermediary. Instead of delivering paper copies of the report, the insurance company may choose to make the reports available on a website, and will notify you by mail each time a report is posted and provide you with a website link to access the report. Instructions for requesting paper copies will be provided by your insurance company.
If the insurance company offers electronic delivery, you may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications about the Fund electronically by following the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your financial intermediary. If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge from the insurance company. You can inform the insurance company or your financial intermediary that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by following the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your financial intermediary. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all portfolio companies available under your contract with the insurance company.
The Fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth quarters, the lists appear in the Fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third quarters, the Fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT. The Fund’s Form N-PORT filings are available on the SEC website, sec.gov. The SEC file numbers for the Fund are 811-07452 and 033-57340. The Fund’s most recent portfolio holdings, as filed on Form N-PORT, have also been made available to insurance companies issuing variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”) that invest in the Fund.
A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, from our Client Services department at 800 959 4246 or at invesco.com/proxyguidelines. The information is also available on the SEC website, sec.gov.
Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies related to its portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available at invesco.com/proxysearch. The information is also available on the SEC website, sec.gov.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class I and Class II shares of the predecessor fund, Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Capital Growth Portfolio, advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund (renamed Invesco V.I. American Franchise Fund on April 29, 2013). Returns shown above, prior to June 1, 2010, for Series I and Series II shares are those of the Class I shares and Class II shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco V.I. American Franchise 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 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Invesco V.I. American Franchise Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. American Franchise Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. American Franchise 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. American Franchise Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
Invesco V.I. American Franchise Fund
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
| |
First $ 250 million | | | 0.695% | |
| |
Next $250 million | | | 0.670% | |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.645% | |
| |
Next $550 million | | | 0.620% | |
| |
Next $3.45 billion | | | 0.600% | |
| |
Next $250 million | | | 0.595% | |
| |
Next $2.25 billion | | | 0.570% | |
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.545% | |
| |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.520% | |
| |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,944.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $48,197 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $447,644 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $1,639 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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
Invesco V.I. American Franchise Fund
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 June 30, 2020. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $204,510.
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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8—Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $202,487,749 and $248,420,336, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10—Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. American Franchise 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $1,116.00 | | $4.58 | | $1,020.54 | | $4.37 | | 0.87% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 1,114.70 | | 5.89 | | 1,019.29 | | 5.62 | | 1.12 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. American Franchise Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. American Franchise Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fourth quintile for the three year period, and the fifth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s underweight and overweight exposures to certain sectors detracted from Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The
Invesco V.I. American Franchise Fund
Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual and contractual management fees were in the fourth quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative actual and contractual management fees.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding
fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class I and Class II shares of the predecessor fund, The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. U.S. Mid Cap Value Portfolio, advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. were reorganized into Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund (renamed Invesco V.I. American Value Fund on April 29, 2013).

Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco V.I. American Value 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 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.

Invesco V.I. American Value Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
| The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period: |
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. American Value Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. American 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five years by investing in 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 of the cost of the related investment. 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.720 | % |
Over $1 billion | | | 0.650 | % |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.72%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the
Invesco V.I. American Value Fund
Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $3,429.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $22,668 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $184,633 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $225 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. American Value 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 6–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 7–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $46,526,549 and $68,011,634, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 9–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. American 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $800.30 | | $4.07 | | $1,020.34 | | $4.57 | | 0.91% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 799.20 | | 5.19 | | 1,019.10 | | 5.82 | | 1.16 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. American Value Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. American Value Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell Midcap® Value Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods and the fifth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s valuation bias and tilt toward cyclical and interest rate sensitive names, underweight exposure to certain defensive sectors and stock selection in multiple sectors detracted from Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information
Invesco V.I. American Value Fund
regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational
structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

The MSCI World IndexSM (Net) is an unmanaged index considered representative of stocks of developed countries. The index is computed using the net return, which withholds applicable taxes for non-resident investors. The Custom Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation Index is composed of the MSCI World Index and Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Prior to May 2, 2011, the index comprised the MSCI World Index, JP Morgan GBI Global Index and FTSE US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is considered representative of the US investment-grade, fixed-rate bond market. The FTSE US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index is considered representative of three-month US Treasury bills. The JP Morgan GBI Global Index tracks the performance of fixed-rate issuances from high-income developed market countries. The Lipper VUF Absolute Return Funds Classification Average represents an average of all variable insurance underlying funds in the Lipper Absolute Return Funds Classification. The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described 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 performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee
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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation 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.

Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk 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. Information presented in these consolidated financial statements pertains only to the Fund and the Subsidiary. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Invesco Cayman Commodity Fund IV Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Subsidiary was organized by the Fund to invest in commodity-linked derivatives and other securities that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return with a low to moderate correlation to traditional financial market indices.
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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations - Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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, if available, 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, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from |
Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
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 financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which 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. The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Fund and its Subsidiary and the results of operations on a consolidated basis. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
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 consolidated financial statements are released to print.
H. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust, and under the Subsidiary’s organizational documents, the directors and officers of the Subsidiary, are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund and/or the Subsidiary, respectively. 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. | Structured Securities – The Fund may invest in structured securities. Structured securities are a type of derivative security whose value is determined by reference to changes in the value of underlying securities, currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices or other financial indicators (“reference instruments”). Most structured securities are fixed-income securities that have maturities of three years or less. Structured securities may be positively or negatively indexed (i.e., their principal value or interest rates may increase or decrease if the underlying reference instrument appreciates) and may have return characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying reference instrument. |
Structured securities may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the reference instruments. In addition to the credit risk of structured securities and the normal risks of price changes in response to changes in interest rates, the principal amount of structured notes or indexed securities may decrease as a result of changes in the value of the underlying reference instruments. Changes in the daily value of structured securities are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When the structured securities mature or are sold, the Fund recognizes a realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
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 the 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 Consolidated 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 |
Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
| 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
L. | Futures Contracts – The Fund may enter into futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings or to manage exposure to interest rate, equity, commodity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
M. | Swap Agreements – The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency, commodity or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency 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.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
A total return swap is an agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income generated and capital gains, if any. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swaps includes dividends on the underlying securities and financing rate payable from the Counterparty. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, the Fund would receive payments based on any positive total return and would owe payments in the event of a negative total return. As the payer, the Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payment in the event of a negative total return.
Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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 Consolidated 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. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
N. | Other Risks – The Fund will seek to gain exposure to commodity markets primarily through an investment in the Subsidiary and through investments in exchange-traded funds and commodity-linked derivatives. The Subsidiary, unlike the Fund, may invest without limitation in commodities, commodity-linked |
Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
| derivatives and other securities, such as exchange-traded and commodity-linked notes, that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodity markets. The Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. |
The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs.
In addition to risks associated with the underlying commodities, investments in commodity-linked notes may be subject to additional risks, such as non-payment of interest and loss of principal, counterparty risk, lack of a secondary market and risk of greater volatility than traditional equity and debt securities. The value of the commodity-linked notes the Fund buys may fluctuate significantly because the values of the underlying investments to which they are linked are themselves volatile. Additionally, certain commodity-linked notes employ “economic” leverage by requiring payment by the issuer of an amount that is a multiple of the price increase or decrease of the underlying commodity, commodity index, or other economic variable. Such economic leverage will increase the volatility of the value of these commodity-linked notes and the Fund to the extent it invests in such notes.
O. | Leverage Risk – Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
P. | Collateral – To the extent the Fund has designated 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser less the amount paid by the Subsidiary to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate |
First $ 250 million | | 0.950% |
Next $250 million | | 0.925% |
Next $500 million | | 0.900% |
Next $1.5 billion | | 0.875% |
Next $2.5 billion | | 0.850% |
Next $2.5 billion | | 0.825% |
Next $2.5 billion | | 0.800% |
Over $10 billion | | 0.775% |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.92%.
The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with the Adviser whereby the Adviser provides investment advisory and other services to the Subsidiary. In consideration of these services, the Subsidiary pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets as set forth in the table above.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2021, 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 (including prior fiscal year-end Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.16% and excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.80% and Series II shares to 1.05% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not operating expenses of the Fund directly, but are fees and expenses, including management fees, of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. As a result, the total annual fund operating expenses after expense reimbursement may exceed the expense limits above. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $2,139,297.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $72,731 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $697,873 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an ISDA Master Agreement under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $11,180,000 and $9,389,471, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its
Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $958.80 | | $3.12 | | $1,021.68 | | $3.22 | | 0.64% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 958.10 | | 4.33 | | 1,020.44 | | 4.47 | | 0.89 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Custom Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one and five year periods and the third quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees were in the fifth quintile of its expense group and discussed with
Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
management reasons for such relative contractual management fees.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information
from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not engage in securities lending arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Invesco V.I. Comstock Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Comstock Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Comstock 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. Comstock Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts - The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
Invesco V.I. Comstock Fund
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
| |
First $500 million | | | 0.600% | |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.550% | |
| |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.57%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2021, 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 0.78% and Series II shares to 1.03% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $25,635.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $101,097 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $876,325 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $1,903 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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 |
Invesco V.I. Comstock Fund
| 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 June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $314,677,417 and $321,126,111, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. Comstock 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $794.30 | | $3.30 | | $1,021.18 | | $3.72 | | 0.74% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 793.40 | | 4.41 | | 1,019.94 | | 4.97 | | 0.99 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Comstock Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Comstock Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s stock selection in and overweight exposure to certain sectors detracted from Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information
Invesco V.I. Comstock Fund
regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information
from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that
such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

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 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco V.I. 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 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $ 250 million | | | 0.650 | % |
Over $250 million | | | 0.600 | % |
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.62%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $7,069.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $63,816 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $562,362 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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.

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 June 30, 2020. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $10,129,752, which resulted in net realized gains of $2,716,347.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $207,842,196 and $238,865,752, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| | Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $943.10 | | $3.82 | | $1,020.93 | | $3.97 | | 0.79% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 942.00 | | 5.02 | | 1,019.69 | | 5.22 | | 1.04 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fifth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s underweight exposure to and stock selection in certain sectors, as well as a small allocation to cash in a rising market, detracted from Fund performance. The Board further noted that the Fund underwent a portfolio management team change in June 2019, and that performance results prior to such date were those of the prior portfolio management team. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and
its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated
Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the US investment grade, fixed-rate bond market. The Lipper VUF Core Plus Bond Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of core plus bond variable insurance underlying funds tracked by Lipper. The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described 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 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 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond 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.

Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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, if available, 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, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash |
Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Fund
| dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. | 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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts - The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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
Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Fund
forward 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 Counterparties 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. | Dollar Rolls and Forward Commitment Transactions - The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s performance. The Fund executes its dollar roll transactions in the to be announced (“TBA”) market whereby the Fund makes a forward commitment to purchase a security and, instead of accepting delivery, the position is offset by the sale of the security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase at a future date. |
The Fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Fund will segregate liquid assets in an amount equal to its dollar roll commitments.
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that a Counterparty 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. Dollar roll transactions also involve the risk that the 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. Dollar roll transactions covered in this manner are not treated as senior securities for purposes of a Fund’s fundamental investment limitation on senior securities and borrowings.
N. | Other Risks - Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
O. | Leverage Risk - Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
P. | Collateral - To the extent the Fund has designated 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
| |
First $ 500 million | | | 0.450% | |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.425% | |
| |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0.400% | |
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.375% | |
| |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.350% | |
| |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2021, 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 0.61% and Series II shares to 0.86% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $30,302.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $2,042 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $18,898 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond 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. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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 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 SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $28,303,718 and $22,834,733, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $28,528,352 and $30,569,425, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 83% 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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $1,057.20 | | $3.02 | | $1,021.93 | | $2.97 | | 0.59% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 1,054.30 | | 4.29 | | 1,020.69 | | 4.22 | | 0.84 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Bloomberg Barlcays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the second quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was the same as the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the
Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Fund
Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The
Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco V.I. Diversified Dividend 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 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Invesco V.I. Diversified Dividend Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Diversified Dividend Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Diversified Dividend 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. Diversified Dividend Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
Invesco V.I. Diversified Dividend Fund
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
| |
First $ 250 million | | | 0.545% | |
| |
Next $750 million | | | 0.420% | |
| |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.395% | |
| |
Over $2 billion | | | 0.370% | |

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.49%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $12,316.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $36,863 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $309,242 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $122 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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 |
Invesco V.I. Diversified Dividend Fund
| 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 June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $25,426,090 and $43,138,967, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. Diversified Dividend 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $850.20 | | $3.08 | | $1,021.53 | | $3.37 | | 0.67% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 848.70 | | 4.23 | | 1,020.29 | | 4.62 | | 0.92 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Diversified Dividend Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Diversified Dividend Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fifth quintile for the three year period and the second quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one and three year periods and reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the five year period. The Board acknowledged limitations regarding the Broadridge data, in particular that differences may exist between a Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and/or investment restrictions and those of its performance peer funds. The Board noted that the Fund’s cash levels and defensive positioning, including its underweight and overweight exposures to certain sectors, detracted from Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group
Invesco V.I. Diversified Dividend Fund
information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the
Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 achieve a high level of total return on its assets through a combination of 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 of the cost of the related investment. 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
J. | 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 (“Counterparties”) 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. |
Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
K. | Collateral – To the extent the Fund has designated 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. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. |
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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $2 billion | | | 0.120 | % |
Over $2 billion | | | 0.100 | % |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.12%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $3,126.
The Adviser paid in to the Fund $4,141,427 for the economic loss as a result of a delay in rebalancing to the Index that occurred on April 24, 2020.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $20,129 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $182,920 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $117 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $69,176,774 and $43,788,817, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $893.40 | | $1.55 | | $1,023.22 | | $1.66 | | 0.33% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 892.40 | | 2.73 | | 1,021.98 | | 2.92 | | 0.58 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund is passively managed and discussed reasons for differences in the Fund’s performance versus its peers. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that there were
Invesco V.I. Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
only three funds (including the Fund) in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Invesco V.I. Equity and Income Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Equity and Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Equity 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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.
Invesco V.I. Equity and Income Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes –The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
Invesco V.I. Equity and Income Fund
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 Counterparties 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. | Other Risks - Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
N. | Collateral —To the extent the Fund has designated 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. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. |
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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $ 150 million | | | 0.500 | % |
Next $100 million | | | 0.450 | % |
Next $100 million | | | 0.400 | % |
Over $350 million | | | 0.350 | % |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.38%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 1.50% and Series II shares to 1.75% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $28,464.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $91,224 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $810,688 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to
Invesco V.I. Equity and Income Fund
intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as
Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $318 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Equity and Income 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8—Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $169,604,528 and $145,573,797, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $402,905,223 and $528,376,661, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

NOTE 10—Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. Equity and Income 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.

Invesco V.I. Equity and Income Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Equity and Income Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Board noted that performance of Series II shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fifth quintile for the three year period, and the fourth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series II shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s value style of equity investing compared to its peers, including its underweight and overweight exposures to certain sectors, as well as stock selection in certain sectors negatively impacted relative performance. The Board also noted the impact of the Fund’s fixed income component on relative performance during strong equity market rallies. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series II shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most
Invesco V.I. Equity and Income Fund
recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and
its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated .
Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Invesco V.I. Global Core Equity Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Global Core Equity Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Global 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. Global Core Equity Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.670% | |
Next $ 500 million | | | 0.645% | |
Next $ 1 billion | | | 0.620% | |
Next $ 1 billion | | | 0.595% | |
Next $ 1 billion | | | 0.570% | |
Over $4.5 billion | | | 0.545% | |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.67%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.25% and Series II shares to 2.50% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $477.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $5,068 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $44,826 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019, as follows:
| | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | Long-Term | | Total |
Not subject to expiration | | $356,447 | | $931,333 | | $1,287,780 |
* | Capital loss carryforward is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 8—Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $13,640,685 and $18,814,523, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

NOTE 10—Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. Global 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $908.60 | | $4.65 | | $1,019.99 | | $4.92 | | 0.98% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 907.60 | | 5.83 | | 1,018.75 | | 6.17 | | 1.23 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Global Core Equity Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Global Core Equity Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Asset Management Limited currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the MSCI World Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board acknowledged limitations regarding the Broadridge data, in particular that differences may exist between a Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and/or investment restrictions and those of its performance peer funds. The Board noted that the Fund’s stock selection in certain sectors and regions as well as its underweight exposure to certain sectors negatively impacted performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The
Invesco V.I. Global Core Equity Fund
Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that there were only five funds (including the Fund) in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be
excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among
other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

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 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate 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 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program | | |
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 of the cost of the related investment. 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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. | 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. Because 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. |
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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
| |
First $ 250 million | | | 0.750% | |
| |
Next $250 million | | | 0.740% | |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.730% | |
| |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0.720% | |
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.710% | |
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.700% | |
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.690% | |
| |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.680% | |
| |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.75%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,051.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $14,387 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $114,681 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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 5–Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 6–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 7–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $112,081,536 and $129,397,552, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

The Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 9–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $791.40 | | $4.54 | | $1,019.79 | | $5.12 | | 1.02% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 790.80 | | 5.65 | | 1,018.55 | | 6.37 | | 1.27 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Asset Management Limited currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Custom Invesco Global Real Estate Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the first quintile for the three year period and the second quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one and three year periods and below the performance of the Index for the five year period. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem
the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades
for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Invesco V.I. Government Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Government 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 current income consistent with 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly to separate accounts of participating insurance companies. Distributions from net realized gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. |
Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown |
Invesco V.I. Government Money Market Fund
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. 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. 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 adviser 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. |
J. | Other Risks - Investments in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government 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 Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government. |
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 0.15% of the 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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.50% and Series II shares to 1.75% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
The Adviser and/or Invesco Distributors, Inc., (“IDI”) voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco voluntarily waived fund level expenses $1,497 and class level expenses of $42,262 for Series II shares in order to increase the Fund’s yield.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $194,007 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $638,840 for fees paid to insurance companies. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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. |
As of June 30, 2020, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). 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. Government Money Market 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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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 5–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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | | | Short-Term | | Long-Term | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | | | $710 | | $7,570 | | | $8,280 | |
* | Capital loss carryforwards are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 8–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. Government 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $1,002.90 | | $1.74 | | $1,023.12 | | $1.76 | | 0.35% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 1,002.10 | | 2.49 | | 1,022.38 | | 2.51 | | 0.50 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Government Money Market Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Government Money Market Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various
countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the T-Bill 3 Month Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the first quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified
Invesco V.I. Government Money Market Fund
percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund does not benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints, but does share directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in
providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the insurance company that offers your variable annuity or variable life insurance contract may no longer send you paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the insurance company or your financial intermediary. Instead of delivering paper copies of the report, the insurance company may choose to make the reports available on a website, and will notify you by mail each time a report is posted and provide you with a website link to access the report. Instructions for requesting paper copies will be provided by your insurance company.
If the insurance company offers electronic delivery, you may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications about the Fund electronically by following the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your financial intermediary. If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge from the insurance company. You can inform the insurance company or your financial intermediary that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by following the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your financial intermediary. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all portfolio companies available under your contract with the insurance company.
The Fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth quarters, the lists appear in the Fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third quarters, the Fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT. The Fund’s Form N-PORT filings are available on the SEC website, sec.gov. The SEC file numbers for the Fund are 811-07452 and 033-57340. The Fund’s most recent portfolio holdings, as filed on Form N-PORT, have also been made available to insurance companies issuing variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”) that invest in the Fund.
A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, from our Client Services department at 800 959 4246 or at invesco.com/proxyguidelines.

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 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco V.I. Government Securities 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 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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, if available, 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, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash |
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund
| dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities – The Fund may invest in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”). TIPS are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The principal value of TIPS will be adjusted upward or downward, and any increase or decrease in the principal amount of TIPS will be shown as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities inflation adjustments in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. |
J. | 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 (“Counterparties”) 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. |
K. | Put Options Purchased – The Fund may purchase put options including options on securities indexes, or foreign currency 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. |
Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.
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 put options purchased are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund
(depreciation) of Investment securities. 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.
L. | Swap Agreements – The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) between two parties (“uncleared/ OTC”) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a future commission merchant (“FCM”) and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central Counterparty (“centrally cleared swap”). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/ or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency 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.
In a centrally cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate Counterparty is a central clearinghouse. The Fund initially will enter into centrally cleared swaps through an executing broker. When a fund enters into a centrally cleared swap, it must deliver to the central Counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
A CDS is an agreement between 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. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. 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 designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
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.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC 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 cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
Notional amounts of each individual credit default swap agreement outstanding as of June 30, 2020 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the open swap agreements table. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
M. | Dollar Rolls and Forward Commitment Transactions – The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s performance. The Fund executes its dollar roll transactions in the to be announced (“TBA”) market whereby the Fund makes a forward commitment to purchase a security and, instead of accepting delivery, the position is offset by the sale of the security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase at a future date. |
The Fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Fund will segregate liquid assets in an amount equal to its dollar roll commitments.
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that a Counterparty 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. Dollar roll transactions also involve the risk that the 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. Dollar roll transactions covered in this manner are not treated as senior securities for purposes of a Fund’s fundamental investment limitation on borrowings.
N. | Other Risks – The Fund may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that may vary in the level of support they |
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund
| 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 Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government. Many securities purchased by the Fund are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. |
O. | Leverage Risk – Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
P. | Collateral – To the extent the Fund has designated 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
|
| |
First $250 million | | | 0.500% | |
|
| |
Over $250 million | | | 0.450% | |
|
| |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.48%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 1.50% and Series II shares to 1.75% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $4,067.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $32,619 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $324,504 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 8—Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $18,095,889 and $7,869,930, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $119,043,785 and $142,927,653, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

NOTE 10—Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.

Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods and the third quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund
expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by
the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Invesco V.I. Growth and Income Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Growth and Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 seek long-term growth of capital 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. Growth and Income Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
Invesco V.I. Growth and Income Fund
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $500 million | | | 0.600 | % |
Over $500 million | | | 0.550 | % |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.57%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2021, 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 0.78% and Series II shares to 1.03% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $30,269.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $124,589 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $944,321 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $747 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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. Growth and Income Fund
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $193,070,790 and $377,432,337, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. Growth and Income 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.

| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |

| | (01/01/20) | | (06/30/20)1 | | Period2 | | (06/30/20) | | Period2 | | Ratio |

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Growth and Income Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Growth and Income Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one and five year periods and the fifth quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s valuation focused style of investing, including its overweight and underweight exposures to and stock selection in certain sectors, negatively impacted performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information
Invesco V.I. Growth and Income Fund
regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information
from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that
such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the insurance company that offers your variable annuity or variable life insurance contract may no longer send you paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the insurance company or your financial intermediary. Instead of delivering paper copies of the report, the insurance company may choose to make the reports available on a website, and will notify you by mail each time a report is posted and provide you with a website link to access the report. Instructions for requesting paper copies will be provided by your insurance company.
If the insurance company offers electronic delivery, you may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications about the Fund electronically by following the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your financial intermediary. If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action.

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 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco V.I. Health Care 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 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Invesco V.I. Health Care Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
| The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco. |
| As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets. |
| At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”). |
| The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period: |
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Health Care Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. Health Care Fund
returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
Invesco V.I. Health Care Fund
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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. | Other Risks – The Fund’s performance is vulnerable to factors affecting the health care industry, including government regulation, obsolescence caused by scientific advances and technological innovations. |
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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
| |
First $ 250 million | | | 0.750% | |
| |
Next $250 million | | | 0.740% | |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.730% | |
| |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0.720% | |
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.710% | |
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.700% | |
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.690% | |
| |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.680% | |
| |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.75%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $4,000.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $15,602 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $148,285 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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. Health Care 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 June 30, 2020. 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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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 5–Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 6–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 7–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $17,711,417 and $27,315,039, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 9–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. Health Care 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $974.00 | | $4.81 | | $1,019.99 | | $4.92 | | 0.98% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 973.00 | | 6.03 | | 1,018.75 | | 6.17 | | 1.23 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Health Care Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Health Care Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the MSCI World Health Care Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fourth quintile for the three year period, and the fifth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one and three year periods and below the performance of the Index for the five year period. The Board acknowledged limitations regarding the Broadridge data, in particular that differences may exist between a Fund and its performance peer funds and specifically that, unlike the Fund, several peers in the health care space focus narrowly on certain sub-sectors. The Board noted that security selection in certain health care industries and sub-sectors negatively impacted performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s
Invesco V.I. Health Care Fund
contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are
financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules
under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the insurance company that offers your variable annuity or variable life insurance contract may no longer send you paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the insurance company or your financial intermediary. Instead of delivering paper copies of the report, the insurance company may choose to make the reports available on a website, and will notify you by mail each time a report is posted and provide you with a website link to access the report. Instructions for requesting paper copies will be provided by your insurance company.
If the insurance company offers electronic delivery, you may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications about the Fund electronically by following the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your financial intermediary. If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge from the insurance company. You can inform the insurance company or your financial intermediary that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by following the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your financial intermediary. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all portfolio companies available under your contract with the insurance company.
The Fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth quarters, the lists appear in the Fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third quarters, the Fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT. The Fund’s Form N-PORT filings are available on the SEC website, sec.gov. The SEC file numbers for the Fund are 811-07452 and 033-57340. The Fund’s most recent portfolio holdings, as filed on Form N-PORT, have also been made available to insurance companies issuing variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”) that invest in the Fund.
A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, from our Client Services department at 800 959 4246 or at invesco.com/proxyguidelines.

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 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco V.I. High Yield 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Notes to Schedule of Investments:
(a) | Industry and/or sector 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. |
(b) | Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at June 30, 2020 was $71,408,129, which represented 54.68% of the Fund’s Net Assets. |
(c) | Defaulted security. Currently, the issuer is in default with respect to principal and/or interest payments. The aggregate value of these securities at June 30, 2020 was $1,880,136, which represented 1.44% of the Fund’s Net Assets. |
(d) | Security valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 3. |
(e) | All or a portion of this security is Pay-in-Kind. Pay-in-Kind securities pay interest income in the form of securities. |
(f) | Perpetual bond with no specified maturity date. |
(g) | Step coupon bond. The interest rate represents the coupon rate at which the bond will accrue at a specified future date. |
(h) | Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on June 30, 2020. |
(i) | Foreign denominated security. Principal amount is denominated in the currency indicated. |
(j) | All or a portion of the value was designated as collateral to cover margin requirements for swap agreements. See Note 1O. |
(k) | Security traded on a discount basis. The interest rate shown represents the discount rate at the time of purchase by the Fund. |
(l) | Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with any accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years. |
(m) | Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the 1933 Act and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days, but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank. |
(n) | Non-income producing security. |
(o) | Affiliated issuer. The issuer and/or the Fund is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., or is affiliated by having an investment adviser that is under common control of Invesco Ltd. The table below shows the Fund’s transactions in, and earnings from, its investments in affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2020. |

(a) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of June 30, 2020, at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing credit default swap agreement and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit default swap agreement. An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial agreement 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 generally. |

Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Variable rate senior loan interests are fair valued using quotes provided by an independent pricing service. 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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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, if available, 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, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash |
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
| dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis – The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date. |
F. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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.
G. | 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. |
H. | 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. |
I. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
J. | 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. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
L. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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.
M. | Call Options Purchased and Written – The Fund may write covered call options and/or buy call options. A covered call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security or foreign currency 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. |
Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.
When the Fund writes a covered 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 covered 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 covered call 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 call options written are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Option contracts written. 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 call options purchased are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities. 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.
N. | Put Options Purchased and Written – The Fund may purchase and write put options including options on securities indexes, or foreign currency 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. |
Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.
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 underlying portfolio securities. The Fund may write put options to earn additional income in the form of option premiums if it expects the price of the underlying instrument to remain stable or rise during the option period so that the option will not be exercised. The risk in this strategy is that the price of the underlying securities may decline by an amount greater than the premium received. Put options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on put options purchased and put options written are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities and Option contracts written, respectively. 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.
O. | Swap Agreements – The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) between two parties (“uncleared/ OTC”) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a future commission merchant (“FCM”) and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central Counterparty (“centrally cleared swap”). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/ or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency 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.
In a centrally cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate Counterparty is a central clearinghouse. The Fund initially will enter into centrally cleared swaps through an executing broker. When a fund enters into a centrally cleared swap, it must deliver to the central Counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
A CDS is an agreement between 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
Invesco V.I. High Yield 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. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. 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 designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
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.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC 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 cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
Notional amounts of each individual credit default swap agreement outstanding as of June 30, 2020 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the open swap agreements table. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
P. | Other Risks – The Fund invests in corporate loans from U.S. or non-U.S. companies (the “Borrowers”). The investment of the Fund in a corporate loan may take the form of participation interests or assignments. If the Fund purchases a participation interest from a syndicate of lenders (“Lenders”) or one of the participants in the syndicate (“Participant”), one or more of which administers the loan on behalf of all the Lenders (the “Agent Bank”), the Fund would be required to rely on the Lender that sold the participation interest not only for the enforcement of the Fund’s rights against the Borrower but also for the receipt and processing of payments due to the Fund under the corporate loans. As such, the Fund is subject to the credit risk of the Borrower and the Participant. Lenders and Participants interposed between the Fund and a Borrower, together with Agent Banks, are referred to as “Intermediate Participants”. |
Q. | Leverage Risk – Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
R. | Collateral – To the extent the Fund has designated 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
| |
| |
First $ 200 million | | | 0.625% | |
| |
| |
Next $300 million | | | 0.550% | |
| |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.500% | |
| |
| |
Over $1 billion | | | 0.450% | |
| |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.625%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 1.50% and Series II shares to 1.75% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $2,973.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $11,346 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $100,563 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
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 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 SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |

NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. High Yield 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $924.20 | | $4.11 | | $1,020.59 | | $4.32 | | 0.86% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 923.50 | | 5.31 | | 1,019.34 | | 5.57 | | 1.11 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Canada Ltd. currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fourth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s security selection in and underweight exposure to certain industries and sectors negatively impacted Fund performance. Additionally, the Board noted that an underweight allocation to BB-rated bonds also negatively impacted Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information
from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.
The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
| The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco. |
| As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets. |
| At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”). |
| The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period: |
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |

Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
| |
First $ 250 million | | | 0.750% | |
| |
Over $250 million | | | 0.700% | |
| |
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.71%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.25% and Series II shares to 2.50% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $26,289.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $105,993 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $939,406 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $116 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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 5–Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 6–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 7–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $371,123,883 and $449,057,651, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

NOTE 9–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. International 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| | Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $917.60 | | $4.29 | | $1,020.39 | | $4.52 | | 0.90% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 916.90 | | 5.48 | | 1,019.14 | | 5.77 | | 1.15 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Custom Invesco International Growth Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fourth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board noted that stock selection in and overweight and underweight exposures to certain sectors as well as the Fund’s cash position detracted from Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was the same as the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund
information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information
from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that
such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

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 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Managed Volatility Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Managed Volatility 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 both capital appreciation and current income while managing portfolio volatility.
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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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.
Invesco V.I. Managed Volatility Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 Counterparties 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 |
Invesco V.I. Managed Volatility Fund
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. | Other Risks - The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
The market values of convertible securities are affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of market and issuer risks as apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as a result, are subject to an increased risk of loss. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade.
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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser at the annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $949.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $2,664 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $23,620 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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. Managed Volatility 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 June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize.

NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $873.50 | | $4.84 | | $1,019.69 | | $5.22 | | 1.04% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 872.80 | | 6.01 | | 1,018.45 | | 6.47 | | 1.29 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Managed Volatility Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Managed Volatility Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s cash position, allocation to bonds and volatility overlay during strong equity markets, as well as stock selection in certain sectors, negatively impacted relative performance. The Board noted that, unlike certain of the peer funds and the Index, managing portfolio volatility is a component of the Fund’s investment objective. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The
Invesco V.I. Managed Volatility Fund
Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that there were only five funds (including the Fund) in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund does not benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints, but does share in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided.
The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that
such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 of the cost of the related investment. 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
| |
First $ 500 million | | | 0.725% | |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.700% | |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.675% | |
| |
Over $1.5 billion | | | 0.650% | |
| |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.725%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $2,507.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $17,497 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $159,317 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $108 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the 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
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund
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. |
As of June 30, 2020, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $509,773.
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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8—Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $106,465,925 and $115,223,777, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10—Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $888.30 | | $4.41 | | $1,020.19 | | $4.72 | | 0.94% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 886.40 | | 5.58 | | 1,018.95 | | 5.97 | | 1.19 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell Midcap® Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fourth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s cash position was the primary detractor to the Fund’s relative performance. The Board further noted that the Fund underwent a portfolio management team change in June 2019, and that performance results prior to such date were those of the prior portfolio management team. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund
Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class X and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund, Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series S&P 500 Index Portfolio advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. were reorganized into Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund. Returns shown above, prior to June 1, 2010, for Series I and Series II shares are those of the Class X shares and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index 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 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
J. | 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 (“Counterparties”) 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. |
K. | Collateral –To the extent the Fund has designated 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. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. |

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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
| |
First $2 billion | | | 0.120% | |
| |
Over $ 2 billion | | | 0.100% | |
| |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.12%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $495.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $6,601 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $59,862 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index 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 carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1,028,000 and $8,053,092, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $967.90 | | $1.76 | | $1,023.07 | | $1.81 | | 0.36% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 966.60 | | 2.98 | | 1,021.83 | | 3.07 | | 0.61 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the S&P 500® Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund is passively managed and discussed reasons for differences in the Fund’s performance versus its peers and the Index. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described 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 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 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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.

Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $ 250 million | | | 0.745 | % |
Next $250 million | | | 0.730 | % |
Next $500 million | | | 0.715 | % |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0.700 | % |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.685 | % |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.670 | % |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.655 | % |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.640 | % |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.74%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,940.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $15,297 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $137,223 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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. Small Cap Equity 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 June 30, 2020. 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 consolidated 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $529,957, which resulted in net realized gains of $72,814.
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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $46,210,571 and $51,466,870, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 2000® Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the third quintile for the three year period and the fifth quintile for five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s high quality bias and security selection in certain sectors and capitalization sizes detracted from Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the
services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize
information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

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 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco V.I. Technology 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 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. |
Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts - The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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. | 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.
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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
| |
First $ 250 million | | | 0.750% | |
| |
Next $250 million | | | 0.740% | |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.730% | |
| |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0.720% | |
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.710% | |
| |
Next $2.5 billion | �� | | 0.700% | |
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.690% | |
| |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.680% | |
| |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.75%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,019.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $10,130 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $99,921 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $268 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
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 June 30, 2020. 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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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 5–Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 6–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 7–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $39,796,071 and $44,056,511, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 9–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $1.160.50 | | $5.37 | | $1,019.89 | | $5.02 | | 0.67% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 1.159.20 | | 6.71 | | 1,018.65 | | 6.27 | | 1.25 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Technology Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the NASDAQ Composite Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period, above the performance of the Index for the three year period and below the performance of the Index for the five year period. The Board acknowledged limitations regarding the Broadridge data, in particular that differences may exist between a Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and/or investment restrictions and those of its performance peer funds and specifically that certain peer funds focus on certain technology sub-industries. The Board noted that overweight and underweight exposures to and security selection in certain technology sub-sectors and industries negatively impacted Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer
agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the insurance company that offers your variable annuity or variable life insurance contract may no longer send you paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the insurance company or your financial intermediary. Instead of delivering paper copies of the report, the insurance company may choose to make the reports available on a website, and will notify you by mail each time a report is posted and provide you with a website link to access the report. Instructions for requesting paper copies will be provided by your insurance company.
If the insurance company offers electronic delivery, you may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications about the Fund electronically by following the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your financial intermediary. If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge from the insurance company. You can inform the insurance company or your financial intermediary that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by following the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your financial intermediary. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all portfolio companies available under your contract with the insurance company.
The Fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth quarters, the lists appear in the Fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third quarters, the Fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT. The Fund’s Form N-PORT filings are available on the SEC website, sec.gov. The SEC file numbers for the Fund are 811-07452 and 033-57340. The Fund’s most recent portfolio holdings, as filed on Form N-PORT, have also been made available to insurance companies issuing variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”) that invest in the Fund.

Invesco V.I. Value Opportunities Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco V.I. Value Opportunities Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Value Opportunities 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco V.I. Value Opportunities Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. 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. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. 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 failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. 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 and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. 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, are included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
Invesco V.I. Value Opportunities Fund
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate |
First $250 million | | 0.695% |
First $250 million | | 0.670% |
First $500 million | | 0.645% |
Next $1.5 billion | | 0.620% |
Next $2.5 billion | | 0.595% |
Next $2.5 billion | | 0.570% |
Next $2.5 billion | | 0.545% |
Over $10 billion | | 0.520% |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.69%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 2.00% and Series II shares to 2.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,408.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $6,527 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $53,721 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $462 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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. Value Opportunities 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. |
As of June 30, 2020, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). 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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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 5–Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 6–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 7–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $25,615,269 and $28,227,871, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 9–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco V.I. Value Opportunities 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning | | Ending | | Expenses | | Ending | | Expenses | | Annualized |
| | Account Value | | Account Value | | Paid During | | Account Value | | Paid During | | Expense |
| | (01/01/20) | | (06/30/20)1 | | Period2 | | (06/30/20) | | Period2 | | Ratio |
Series I | | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | | $ | 773.20 | | | | $ | 4.28 | | | | $ | 1,020.04 | | | | $ | 4.87 | | | | | 0.97 | % |
Series II | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | | 772.40 | | | | | 5.38 | | | | | 1,018.80 | | | | | 6.12 | | | | | 1.22 | |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco V.I. Value Opportunities Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco V.I. Value Opportunities Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also
discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.
As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the S&P 1500® Value Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fifth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s overweight and underweight exposures to certain sectors detracted from Fund performance and also discussed how the market environment for the Fund’s value investing style impacted performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was the same as the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of
Invesco V.I. Value Opportunities Fund
additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees were in the fifth quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative actual management fees.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The
Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market receives funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the insurance company that offers your variable annuity or variable life insurance contract may no longer send you paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the insurance company or your financial intermediary. Instead of delivering paper copies of the report, the insurance company may choose to make the reports available on a website, and will notify you by mail each time a report is posted and provide you with a website link to access the report. Instructions for requesting paper copies will be provided by your insurance company.
If the insurance company offers electronic delivery, you may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications about the Fund electronically by following the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your financial intermediary. If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge from the insurance company. You can inform the insurance company or your financial intermediary that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by following the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your financial intermediary. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all portfolio companies available under your contract with the insurance company.
The Fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends.

The Fund’s Form N-PORT filings are available on the SEC website, sec.gov. The SEC file numbers for the Fund are 811-07452 and 033-57340. The Fund’s most recent portfolio holdings, as filed on Form N-PORT, have also been made available to insurance companies issuing variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”) that invest in the Fund.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.

The most recent month-end performance 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 seek 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Master Limited Partnerships - The Fund invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund invests in MLPs engaged in, among other things, the transportation, storage, processing, refining, marketing, exploration, production and mining of minerals and natural resources. The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP. |
MLP’s may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities.
F. | Return of Capital - Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. The return of capital portion of the distribution is a reduction to investment income that results in an equivalent reduction in the cost basis of the associated investments and increases net realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates will subsequently be revised and may materially differ primarily based on information received from the MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded. |
G. | 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. |
H. | 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. |
I. | Indemnifications - Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts - The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets* | | Rate | |
| |
Upto $200 million | | | 0.750% | |
| |
Next $ 200 million | | | 0.720% | |
| |
Next $ 200 million | | | 0.690% | |
| |
Next $ 200 million | | | 0.660% | |
| |
Next $ 200 million | | | 0.600% | |
| |
Over $1 billion | | | 0.580% | |
| |
* | The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with Invesco. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, 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 (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $322,043.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $48,794 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $507,898 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $2,054 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3–AAdditional 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 Oppenheimer V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $155,998,779 and $209,778,833, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
NOTE 11–Significant Event
Effective on or about April 30, 2021, the name of the Fund and all references thereto will change from Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund to 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $1,091.50 | | $4.16 | | $1,020.89 | | $4.02 | | 0.80% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 1,090.10 | | 5.46 | | 1,019.64 | | 5.27 | | 1.05 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel
throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel
that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fifth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board noted that overweight and underweight exposures to, and stock selection in, certain sectors detracted from Fund performance. The Board further noted that the Fund underwent a portfolio management team change in June 2019, and that performance results prior to such date were those of the prior portfolio management team. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was the same as the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Effective May 24, 2019, Non-Service and Service shares of the Oppenheimer Conservative Balanced Fund/VA, (the predecessor fund) were reorganized into Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund. Returns shown above, prior to May 24, 2019, for Series I and Series II shares are those of the Non-Service shares and Service shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative 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 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 seek total return.
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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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, if available, 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, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund
| dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis – The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
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 (“Counterparties”) 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 |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund
| (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. | Dollar Rolls and Forward Commitment Transactions – The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s performance. The Fund executes its dollar roll transactions in the to be announced (“TBA”) market whereby the Fund makes a forward commitment to purchase a security and, instead of accepting delivery, the position is offset by the sale of the security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase at a future date. |
The Fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Fund will segregate liquid assets in an amount equal to its dollar roll commitments.
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that a Counterparty 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. Dollar roll transactions also involve the risk that the 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. Dollar roll transactions covered in this manner are not treated as senior securities for purposes of a Fund’s fundamental investment limitation on borrowings.
M. | Other Risks – Mortgage- and asset-backed securities, including collateralized debt obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations, are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that a borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. This could result in the Fund reinvesting these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that an unexpected rise in interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments, causing the price of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and the Fund’s share price to fall. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and could result in losses to the Fund. Privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other types of securities and the Fund may be unable to sell these securities at the time or price it desires. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
N. | Leverage Risk – Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets* | | Rate | |
| |
First $ 200 million | | | 0.750% | |
| |
Next $ 200 million | | | 0.720% | |
| |
Next $ 200 million | | | 0.690% | |
| |
Next $ 200 million | | | 0.660% | |
| |
Over $ 800 million | | | 0.600% | |
| |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.74%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s). Invesco has also entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Funds.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, 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 (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $303,026.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $13,216 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $128,982 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund
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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8—Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $207,360,570 and $211,632,448, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $83,477,258 and $81,986,894, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10—Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
NOTE 11—Significant Event
Effective on or about April 30, 2021, the name of the Fund and all references thereto will change from Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund to Invesco V.I. Conservative 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $1,041.70 | | $3.40 | | $1,021.53 | | $3.37 | | 0.67% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 1,040.40 | | 4.67 | | 1,020.29 | | 4.62 | | 0.92 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel
throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel
that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Custom Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fifth quintile for the three year period, and the fourth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board noted that stock selection in and underweight exposure to certain equity sectors, as well as overweight exposure to asset and mortgage-backed securities, detracted from Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Conservative Balanced Fund
used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees were in the fourth quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative contractual management fees.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Effective May 24, 2019, Non-Service and Service shares of the Oppenheimer Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund/VA, (the predecessor fund) were reorganized into Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund. Returns shown above, prior to May 24, 2019, for Series I and Series II shares are those of the Non-Service shares and Service shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery Mid 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 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 seek 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund
| 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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

| |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.720% | |
| |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.690% | |
| |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.660% | |
| |
| |
Next $700 million | | | 0.600% | |
| |
| |
Over $1.5 billion | | | 0.580% | |
| |
* | The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with Invesco. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, 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 (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $301,838.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $55,231 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $574,594 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund incurred $888 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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. |
As of June 30, 2020, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $993,638, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(118,411).
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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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 Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery Mid Cap Growth 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $332,999,817 and $337,440,688, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 32% 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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
(b) | After the close of business on April 30, 2020, the Fund acquired all the net assets of Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Target Fund”) pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund on February 14, 2020 and by the shareholders of the Target Fund on April 24, 2020. The reorganization was executed in order to reduce overlap and increase efficiencies in the Adviser’s product line. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 1,579,384 shares of the Fund for 30,799,415 shares outstanding of the Target Fund as of the close of business on April 30, 2020. Shares of the Target Fund were exchanged for the like class of shares of the Fund, based on the relative net asset value of the Target Fund to the net asset value of the Fund on the close of business, April 30, 2020. The Target Fund’s net assets as of the close of business on April 30, 2020 of $109,384,232, including $25,370,264 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the Fund. The net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $753,884,660 and $863,268,891 immediately after the acquisition. |
The pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 assuming the reorganization had been completed on January 1, 2020, the beginning of the annual reporting period are as follows:
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund
| | | | |
Net investment income (loss) | | $ | (1,959,739 | ) |
| |
Net realized/unrealized gains | | | 79,379,078 | |
| |
Change in net assets resulting from operations | | | $77,419,339 | |
| |
As the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Fund that has been included in the Fund’s Statement of Operations since May 1, 2020.
NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
NOTE 11–Significant Event
Effective on or about April 30, 2021, the name of the Fund and all references thereto will change from Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund to Invesco V.I. Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery Mid 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.

Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel
throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel
that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell Midcap® Growth Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one and five year periods and the second quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund
Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in
providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
| The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco. |
| As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets. |
| At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”). |
| The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period: |
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 seek 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets* | | Rate | |
| |
Up to $200 million | | | 0.750% | |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.720% | |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.690% | |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.660% | |
| |
Next $4.2 billion | | | 0.600% | |
| |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.580% | |
| |
* | The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with Invesco. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.63%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Fund
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, 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 0.77% and Series II shares to 1.02% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $491,906.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $155,481 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $1,633,586 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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 5–Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 6–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 7–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $173,195,573 and $347,612,377, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 9– Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Fund
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
NOTE 10–Significant Event
Effective on or about April 30, 2021, the name of the Fund and all references thereto will change from Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Fund to Invesco V.I. Global 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $981.90 | | $3.79 | | $1,021.03 | | $3.87 | | 0.77% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 980.70 | | 5.02 | | 1,019.79 | | 5.12 | | 1.02 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each
Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel
throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel
that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the MSCI All Country World Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the third quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was the same as the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Fund
group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the
services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize
information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Committee had established an HLIM for the Fund and the Fund complied with its HLIM. Subsequent to the Program Reporting Period, in connection with its annual evaluation of the Fund, the Committee determined that the Fund primarily holds Highly Liquid Investments on a consistent basis and thus does not require an HLIM under the Program. As of March 1, 2020, the Fund no longer has an HLIM. |

Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund
Notes to Consolidated Schedule of Investments:
(a) | Foreign denominated security. Principal amount is denominated in the currency indicated. |
(b) | Defaulted security. Currently, the issuer is in default with respect to principal and/or interest payments. The aggregate value of these securities at June 30, 2020 was $2,419,582, which represented less than 1% of the Fund’s Net Assets. |
(c) | Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at June 30, 2020 was $460,449,741, which represented 45.32% of the Fund’s Net Assets. |
(d) | Perpetual bond with no specified maturity date. |
(e) | Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on June 30, 2020. |
(f) | Zero coupon bond issued at a discount. |
(g) | Security valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 3. |
(h) | All or a portion of this security is Pay-in-Kind. Pay-in-Kind securities pay interest income in the form of securities. |
(i) | Interest rate is redetermined periodically based on the cash flows generated by the pool of assets backing the security, less any applicable fees. The rate shown is the rate in effect on June 30, 2020. |
(j) | Security purchased on a forward commitment basis. This security is subject to dollar roll transactions. See Note 1P. |
(k) | Principal amount of security and interest payments are adjusted for inflation. See Note 1I. |
(l) | Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with any accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years. |
(m) | Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the 1933 Act and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days, but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank. |
(n) | Affiliated issuer. The issuer is affiliated by having an investment adviser that is under common control of Invesco Ltd. and/or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), defines “affiliated person” to include an issuer of which a fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The Fund has not owned enough of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer to have control (as defined in the 1940 Act) of that issuer. The table below shows the Fund’s transactions in, and earnings from, its investments in affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2020. |

(a) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of June 30, 2020, at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing credit default swap agreement and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit default swap agreement. An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial agreement 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 generally. |

(a) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of June 30, 2020, at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing credit default swap agreement and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit default swap agreement. An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial agreement 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 generally. |

(b) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of June 30, 2020, at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing credit default swap agreement and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit default swap agreement. An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial agreement 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 generally. |

Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic 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. Information presented in these consolidated financial statements pertains only to the Fund and the Subsidiary. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 seek total return.
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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated 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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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, if available, 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, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund
| dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
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 financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which 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. The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Fund and its Subsidiary and the results of operations on a consolidated basis. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
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 consolidated financial statements are released to print.
H. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust, and under the Subsidiary’s organizational documents, the directors and officers of the Subsidiary, are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund and/or the Subsidiary, respectively. 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. | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities – The Fund may invest in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”). TIPS are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The principal value of TIPS will be adjusted upward or downward, and any increase or decrease in the principal amount of TIPS will be included as interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. |
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 the 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 Consolidated 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund
currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
L. | Futures Contracts – The Fund may enter into futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings or to manage exposure to interest rate, equity, commodity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
M. | Call Options Purchased and Written – The Fund may write covered call options and/or buy call options. A covered call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security or foreign currency 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. |
Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.
When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability in the Consolidated 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 covered 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 covered call 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 call options written are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Option contracts written. 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 Consolidated 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 call options purchased are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities. 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.
N. | Put Options Purchased and Written – The Fund may purchase and write put options including options on securities indexes, or foreign currency 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. |
Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.
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 underlying portfolio securities. The Fund may write put options to earn additional income in the form of option premiums if it expects the price of the underlying instrument to remain stable or rise during the option period so that the option will not be exercised. The risk in this strategy is that the price of the underlying securities may decline by an amount greater than the premium received. Put options written are reported as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on put options purchased and put options written are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities and Option contracts written, respectively. 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.
O. | Swap Agreements – The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, volatility, variance, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, currency, commodity or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) between two parties (“uncleared/OTC”) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a future commission merchant (“FCM”) and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central Counterparty (“centrally cleared swap”). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund
| NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, volatility, variance, index and currency 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.
Inflation swap agreements are contracts in which one party agrees to pay the cumulative percentage increase in a price index, such as the Consumer Price Index, over the term of the swap, and the other party pays a compounded fixed rate.
In a centrally cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate Counterparty is a central clearinghouse. The Fund will initially enter into centrally cleared swaps through an executing broker. When a fund enters into a centrally cleared swap, it must deliver to the central Counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated, at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
A CDS is an agreement between 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. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. 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 designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
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.
A volatility swap involves an exchange between the Fund and a Counterparty of periodic payments based on the measured volatility of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other reference asset over a specified time frame. Depending on the structure of the swap, either the Fund’s or the Counterparty’s payment obligation will typically be based on the realized volatility of the reference asset as measured by changes in its price or level over a specified time period, while the other party’s payment obligation will be based on a specified rate representing expected volatility for the reference asset at the time the swap is executed, or the measured volatility of a different reference asset over a specified time period. The Fund will typically make or lose money on a volatility swap depending on the magnitude of the reference asset’s volatility, or size of the movements in its price, over a specified time period, rather than general increases or decreases in the price of the reference asset. Volatility swaps are often used to speculate on future volatility levels, to trade the spread between realized and expected volatility, or to decrease the volatility exposure of other investments held by the Fund. Variance swaps are similar to volatility swaps, except payments are based on the difference between the implied and measured volatility mathematically squared.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of the Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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 Consolidated 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. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
Notional amounts of each individual credit default swap agreement outstanding as of June 30, 2020 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the open swap agreements table. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
P. | Dollar Rolls and Forward Commitment Transactions - The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s performance. The Fund |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund
| executes its dollar roll transactions in the to be announced (“TBA”) market whereby the Fund makes a forward commitment to purchase a security and, instead of accepting delivery, the position is offset by the sale of the security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase at a future date. |
The Fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Fund will segregate liquid assets in an amount equal to its dollar roll commitments.
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that a Counterparty 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. Dollar roll transactions also involve the risk that the 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. Dollar roll transactions covered in this manner are not treated as senior securities for purposes of a Fund’s fundamental investment limitation on senior securities and borrowings.
Q. | Other Risks – 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’ claim. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
R. | Leverage Risk – Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
S. | Collateral – To the extent the Fund has designated 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets* | | Rate | |
| |
First $ 200 million | | | 0.750 | % |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.720 | % |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.690 | % |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.660 | % |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.600 | % |
| |
Next $4 billion | | | 0.500 | % |
| |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.480 | % |
| |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.67%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, 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 0.84% and Series II shares to 1.09% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $258,056.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $72,619 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $760,376 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
Level 1 - | | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Level 2 - | | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Level 3 - | | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2020. 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 consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an ISDA Master Agreement under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 65,305,749 | | | $ | 102,514,007 | | | $ | 167,819,756 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10—Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
NOTE 11—Significant Event
Effective on or about April 30, 2021, the name of the Fund and all references thereto will change from Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund to Invesco V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $951.70 | | $3.98 | | $1,020.79 | | $4.12 | | 0.82% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 949.30 | | 5.19 | | 1,019.54 | | 5.37 | | 1.07 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel
throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel
that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the third quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one and five year periods and the same as the performance of the Index for the three year period. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board noted that an underweight allocation to U.S. fixed income investments and exposure to certain foreign currencies negatively impacted Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Global Strategic Income Fund
information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees were in the fifth quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative contractual management fees.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 seek income consistent with stability of principal.
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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Service – Investment Companies.
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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly to separate accounts of participating insurance companies. Distributions from net realized gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. |
Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Government Money Fund
| 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. 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. 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 adviser 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. |
J. | Other Risks - Investments in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government 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 Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government. |
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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets* | | Rate | |
| |
| |
First $ 500 million | | | 0.450% | |
| |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.425 | |
| |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.400 | |
| |
| |
Over $1.5 billion | | | 0.375 | |
| |
*The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.41%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.50% and Series II shares to 0.75% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
The Adviser and/or Invesco Distributors, Inc., (“IDI”) voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco voluntarily waived advisory fees of $1,745,458 and reimbursed class level expenses of $8 for Series II shares in order to increase the Fund’s yield.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $332,487 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $37,399 for fees paid to insurance companies. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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 Oppenheimer V.I. Government Money 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. |
As of June 30, 2020, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). 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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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 5–Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with BNY Mellon, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have any capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.

The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to the entity, 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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by the entity are also owned beneficially. |

NOTE 8–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $1,002.20 | | $1.34 | | $1,023.52 | | $1.36 | | 0.27% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 1,001.70 | | 1.79 | | 1,023.07 | | 1.81 | | 0.36 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Government Money Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Government Money Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel
throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment
analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper T-Bill 3 Month Index The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees was in the fourth
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Government Money Fund
quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative contractual management fees and total expenses.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco
Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

Instead of delivering paper copies of the report, the insurance company may choose to make the reports available on a website, and will notify you by mail each time a report is posted and provide you with a website link to access the report. Instructions for requesting paper copies will be provided by your insurance company. If the insurance company offers electronic delivery, you may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications about the Fund electronically by following the instructions provided by the insurance company or by contacting your financial intermediary.

The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described 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. |

Effective May 24, 2019, Non-Service and Service shares of the Oppenheimer International Growth Fund/VA, (the predecessor fund) were reorganized into Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. International Growth Fund. Returns shown above, prior to May 24, 2019, for Series I and Series II shares are those of the Non-Service shares and Service shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee 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. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. International 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 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. International Growth Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. International Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 seek 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. International Growth Fund
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | 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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets* | | Rate | |
| |
Up to $250 million | | | 1.000% | |
| |
Next $250 million | | | 0.900% | |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.850% | |
| |
Over $1 billion | | | 0.820% | |
| |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.95%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, 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 1.00% and Series II shares to 1.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $281,504.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund.

Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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”).

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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 5–Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 6–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 7–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $108,517,599 and $139,022,546, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 9–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. International 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $959.20 | | $4.87 | | $1,019.89 | | $5.02 | | 1.00% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 960.90 | | 6.09 | | 1,018.65 | | 6.27 | | 1.25 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. International Growth Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. International Growth Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel
throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel
that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the MSCI EAFE® Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fifth quintile for the three year period, and the fourth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one year period and reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board noted that stock selection in certain sectors and regions detracted from Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. International Growth Fund
contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees were in the fifth quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative contractual management fees.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such
methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the
Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Fund®
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 seek 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Fund®
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Master Limited Partnerships – The Fund invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund invests in MLPs engaged in, among other things, the transportation, storage, processing, refining, marketing, exploration, production and mining of minerals and natural resources. The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP. |
MLP’s may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities.
F. | Return of Capital – Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. The return of capital portion of the distribution is a reduction to investment income that results in an equivalent reduction in the cost basis of the associated investments and increases net realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates will subsequently be revised and may materially differ primarily based on information received from the MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded. |
G. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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.
H. | 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. |
I. | 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. |
J. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
L. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Fund®
gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets* | | Rate | |
| |
Up to $200 million | | | 0.750% | |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.720% | |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.690% | |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.660% | |
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.600% | |
| |
Next $4 billion | | | 0.580% | |
| |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.560% | |
| |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.66%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s). Invesco has also entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Funds.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, 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 (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $247,857.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $81,109 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $843,469 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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 |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Fund®
| 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 June 30, 2020. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $4,472,836 and securities sales of $45,966,645, which resulted in net realized gains of $6,127,718.
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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $261,361,928 and $382,603,210, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
NOTE 11–Significant Event
Effective on or about April 30, 2021, the name of the Fund and all references thereto will change from Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Fund® to Invesco V.I. Main Street 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $944.30 | | $3.87 | | $1,020.89 | | $4.02 | | 0.80% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 943.20 | | 5.07 | | 1,019.64 | | 5.27 | | 1.05 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Fund®
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel
throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel
that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the S&P 500® Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fifth quintile for the three year period, and the third quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board noted that underweight exposure to certain sectors and companies had detracted from Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was the same as the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Fund®
each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds
on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Small Cap Fund®
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Small Cap 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 seek 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an 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
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Small Cap Fund®
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 of the cost of the related investment. 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets* | | Rate | |
| |
Up to $ 200 million | | | 0.750% | |
| |
Next $ 200 million | | | 0.720% | |
| |
Next $ 200 million | | | 0.690% | |
| |
Next $ 200 million | | | 0.660% | |
| |
Next $ 200 million | | | 0.600% | |
| |
Next $ 4 billion | | | 0.580% | |
| |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.560% | |
| |
* | The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with Invesco. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.71%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s). Invesco has also entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Funds.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, 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 (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Small Cap Fund®
terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $345,904.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $42,848 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $408,044 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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. |
As of June 30, 2020, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $4,083,915 and securities sales of $3,978,288, which resulted in net realized gains of $2,084,886.
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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Small Cap Fund®
NOTE 7—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019.
NOTE 8—Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $129,123,782 and $150,338,394, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
NOTE 11—Significant Event
Effective on or about April 30, 2021, the name of the Fund and all references thereto will change from Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Small Cap Fund® to Invesco V.I. Main Street Small Cap Fund®.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Small Cap 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| | Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $886.40 | | $3.75 | | $1,020.89 | | $4.02 | | 0.80% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 885.50 | | 4.92 | | 1,019.64 | | 5.27 | | 1.05 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Small Cap Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel
throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel
that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 2000® Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods and the third quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one and three year periods and below the performance of the Index for the five year period. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Main Street Small Cap Fund®
information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be
excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among
other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond Fund
Liquidity Risk Management Program
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.
At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:
∎ | The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal; |
∎ | The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund; |
∎ | The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund; |
∎ | The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and |
∎ | The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM. |

Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond 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. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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 seek total return.
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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) 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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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, if available, 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, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond Fund
dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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.
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date.
E. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis – The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date.
F. Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
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.
G. 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.
H. 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.
I. Indemnifications - Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
J. 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.
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 the 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. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
L. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk.
The Fund may also enter into forward 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, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond Fund
based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward 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 forward 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.
M. 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 Counterparties 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.
N. Dollar Rolls and Forward Commitment Transactions – The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s performance. The Fund executes its dollar roll transactions in the to be announced (“TBA”) market whereby the Fund makes a forward commitment to purchase a security and, instead of accepting delivery, the position is offset by the sale of the security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase at a future date.
The Fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Fund will segregate liquid assets in an amount equal to its dollar roll commitments.
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that a Counterparty 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. Dollar roll transactions also involve the risk that the 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. Dollar roll transactions covered in this manner are not treated as senior securities for purposes of a Fund’s fundamental investment limitation on senior securities and borrowings.
O. Other Risks – Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities, including collateralized debt obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations, are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that a borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. This could result in the Fund reinvesting these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that an unexpected rise in interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments, causing the price of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and the Fund’s share price to fall. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and could result in losses to the Fund. Privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other types of securities and the Fund may be unable to sell these securities at the time or price it desires.
P. Leverage Risk – Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction.
Q. Collateral – To the extent the Fund has designated 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | |
Average Daily Net Assets* | | Rate |
Up to $1 billion | | 0.600% |
Over $1 billion | | 0.500% |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.59%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s). Invesco has also entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Funds.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, 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 0.75% and Series II shares to 1.00% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements piror to the end of each fiscal year.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond Fund
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $95,279.
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 fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide certain administrative services to the Fund. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: maintenance of master accounts with the Fund; tracking, recording and transmitting net purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares; maintaining and preserving records related to the purchase, redemption and other account activity of variable product owners; distributing copies of Fund documents such as prospectuses, proxy materials and periodic reports, to variable product owners, and responding to inquiries from variable product owners about the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, Invesco was paid $8,746 for accounting and fund administrative services and was reimbursed $90,123 for fees paid to insurance companies. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 the Adviser, 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 June 30, 2020. 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond Fund
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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 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 SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
NOTE 7–Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond Fund
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2019, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

| |
* | Capital loss carryforward is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 8–Investment Transactions
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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $193,591,101 and $199,132,112, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $77,594,152 and $76,174,331, respectively.

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 Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 10–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.
The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
NOTE 11–Significant Event
Effective on or about April 30, 2021, the name of the Fund and all references thereto will change from Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond Fund to Invesco V.I. Core Bond Fund.
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond 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 January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| Beginning Account Value (01/01/20) | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (06/30/20) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Series I | | $1,000.00 | | $1,069.40 | | $3.86 | | $1,021.13 | | $3.77 | | 0.75% |
Series II | | 1,000.00 | | 1,067.80 | | 5.14 | | 1,019.89 | | 5.02 | | 1.00 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, 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 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel
throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel
that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods and the first quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was the same as the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense
Invesco Oppenheimer V.I. Total Return Bond Fund
group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in
providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
