Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.
To that end, I’m pleased to share the news that Invesco has completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments. This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds. Now that the acquisition has closed, Invesco is working to bring the full value of the combined organization to shareholders. The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Management’s Discussion of Fund PerformancePerformance summary
At net asset value, all share classes of Invesco Municipal Fund posted positive returns for the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2010. The Fund’s Class A shares underperformed the Invesco Custom Municipal Index . The Fund’s security selection on the long-end of the yield curve, and security selection in the tax-supported sector were the main detractors from relative performance versus the Invesco Custom Municipal Index.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
Our investment objective is to realize above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five years, consistent with the conservation of capital and the realization of current income that is exempt from federal income tax.
We seek to invest primarily in fixed income securities issued by local, state and regional governments that provide income that is exempt from federal income taxes (municipal securities). The Fund may purchase municipal securities that pay interest that is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and securities on which the interest payments are taxable. The Fund may invest in high yield municipal securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). The Fund will ordinarily seek to maintain an average weighted maturity of between five and 10 years, although there is no
minimum or maximum maturity for any individual security.
The Fund may, but it is not required to, use derivative instruments for a variety of purposes, including hedging, risk management, portfolio management or to earn income. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is based on the value of another underlying asset, interest rate, index or financial instrument. The Fund’s use of derivatives may involve the purchase and sale of derivative instruments such as futures, swaps, inverse floating rate securities, and other related instruments and techniques.
The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers, including issuers located in emerging market or developing countries. The securities in which the Fund may invest may be denominated in U.S. dollars or in currencies other than U.S. dollars. The Fund may also invest in
public bank loans made by banks or other financial institutions. These public bank loans may be rated investment grade or below investment grade.
We employ a value approach toward fixed income investing. We will vary the Fund’s average duration and maturity and the amount invested in particular types of securities based on the risks and potential rewards offered by different investments. We analyze the credit risk, prepayment risk and call risk posed by specific securities considered for investment.
We may sell securities when we believe that expected after-tax risk-adjusted return is low compared to other investment opportunities.
Market conditions and your Fund
Market conditions during the 12 months covered in this report were influenced by two broad themes: private sector recovery and concerns over sovereign creditworthiness. In the U.S. and across the developed world, a gradual and somewhat lackluster recovery continued, with central banks keeping interest rates at low levels, and few of them withdrawing their quantitative easing measures. This helped private sector companies improve their balance sheets and earnings following the global financial crisis that began to dissipate in early 2009. Recently, however, investor skepticism of global governments’ abilities to retire huge amounts of debt without affecting economic growth rates caused sovereign debt distress (especially for Greece and other southern eurozone countries) and became a focal point of investor concern in the first half of 2010.
In the U.S., economic recovery was present, although uneven and possibly slowing, as stubbornly high unemployment and export weakness continued to

weigh on the U.S. economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S. economic activity, increased at an annual rate of 1.7% in the second quarter of 2010.1 In the first quarter, real GDP increased 3.7%.1 The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained a very accommodative monetary policy throughout the period, with the federal funds target rate unchanged in its range of zero to 0.25%.2 The Fed recently described its view of the U.S. economy by saying, “Financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth on balance, largely reflecting developments abroad.”2 As such, it was widely expected that the Fed would continue to keep rates low for an extended period.
Sector performance was driven by quality spread tightening largely as a result of continued flows into the municipal market combined with less tax-exempt issuance. Fund flows remained strong after a record 2009. In addition, year-to-date issuance through the end of the reporting period was about 2.2% ahead of last year’s pace, at $293.2 billion versus $286.9 billion.3 However, approximately 30% of supply since the beginning of the year was in the form of taxable municipals.3
At net asset value, the Fund generated positive absolute returns for the reporting period, but underperformed the Custom Invesco Municipal Index. In terms of the yield curve, security selection on the long end of the curve detracted from returns.
During the reporting period, lower rated tax-exempt bonds experienced greater price increases than high quality issues. An overweight exposure to BBB and non-rated bonds was a positive contributor to relative and absolute returns; however, this was slightly offset by security selection.
At the sector level, the Fund’s security selection in the tax-supported sector, specifically local general obligation bonds, was the primary detractor on a relative basis. Security selection in the transportation sector and utility sector also detracted from returns.
Our underweight exposure to pre-refunded bonds contributed to relative performance during the period. Also, security selection within bonds issued in Texas contributed to returns.
Thank you for investing in Invesco Municipal Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
The performance data shown in the first chart above is that of the Fund’s Class Y shares. The performance of the Fund’s other share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses and may be greater than or less than the performance of the Fund’s Class Y shares. The data shown in this chart includes reinvested distributions, Fund expenses and management fees. Index results include reinvested dividends.
The performance data shown in the second chart above is that of the Fund’s Class A shares. The performance of the
Fund’s other share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses and may be greater than or less than the performance of the Fund’s Class A shares. The data shown in the second chart above includes reinvested distributions, Fund expenses and management fees. Index results include reinvested dividends, but they do not reflect sales charges.
Performance of the peer group reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance of a market index does not. Performance shown in the charts and table does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.
The first chart above is a logarithmic chart, which present the fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s share class and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in charts over longer time periods. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. Each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class H, Class L and Class P shares of the predecessor fund advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. were reorganized into Class A shares and Class I shares were reorganized into Class Y shares, of Invesco Municipal Fund. Returns shown above for Class Y and Class A shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Municipal Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Class B and Class C shares incepted on June 1, 2010. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class P shares restated to reflect the higher 12b-1fees applicable to Class B and Class C shares, respectively. Class B and Class C shares performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The inception date of the predecessor fund’s Class P shares was January 2, 2008.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares was 0.75%, 1.50%, 1.50% and 0.50%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares was 0.77%, 1.52%, 1.52% and
0.52%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.75% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rate. They do not reflect the effect of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares in tax-deferred accounts such as 401(k)s or IRAs. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Principal risks of investing in the Fundn | | A derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying instrument and may have additional risks, including imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying instrument, risks of default by the other party to certain transactions, magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest rates to which they relate, and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss. |
|
n | | The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, changes in the general level of spreads between U.S. Treasury and non-Treasury securities, and changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of the issuer of the fixed income security. Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Lower rated fixed income securities have greater volatility because there is less certainty that principal and interest payments will be made as scheduled. |
n | | The Fund’s investments in high yield securities expose it to a substantial degree of credit risk. High yield securities may be issued by companies that are restructuring, are smaller and less creditworthy or are more highly indebted than other companies, and therefore they may have more difficulty making scheduled payments of principal and interest. High yield securities may experience reduced liquidity, and sudden and substantial decreases in price, and may have a higher incidence of default than higher grade securities. |
|
n | | Municipal obligations may be general obligations or revenue bonds. General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer’s full faith and credit as well as its taxing power for payment of principal or interest. Revenue bonds are payable solely from the revenues derived from a specified revenue source, and therefore involve the risk that the revenues so derived will not be sufficient to meet interest and/or principal payment obligations. Municipal securities involve the risk that an issuer may call securities for redemption, which could force the Fund to reinvest the proceeds at a lower rate of interest. |
|
n | | Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic and market risks. There also may be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, higher transaction and custody costs, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation associated with investments in foreign markets. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than risks associated with investments in foreign developed countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country’s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Fund’s investments. |

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), formerly AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eleven separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Municipal Portfolio, (“Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (The “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class H, Class L and Class P shares received Class A shares of the Fund . Holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares received Class Y shares of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class H, Class L and Class P shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class A shares and information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares is included with Class Y shares of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to realize above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five years, consistent with the conservation of capital and the realization of current income that is exempt from federal income tax.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.
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. |
17 Invesco Municipal Fund

| | Securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. 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, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and principal payments. |
| | Securities for which market quotations either are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition; trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news; and other relevant factors under the circumstances. |
| | Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. |
B. | | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser. |
| | The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on 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 necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
| | The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. |
F. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
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 the Adviser based at the annual rate of 0.375% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $991,640 to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MSIM”) based on the annual rate above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the date of Reorganization, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares to 0.75%, 1.50%, 1.50% and 0.50%, respectively, of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Prior to the Reorganization, MSIM had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements of Class H, Class I, Class L and Class P shares to 0.75%, 0.50%, 1.00% and 0.75%, respectively of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
For year ended September 30, 2010, the Adviser and MSIM waived advisory fees of $54,315 and $108,722, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $229,920 to MSIM and JPMorgan Investor Services Co. For period ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.
Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. 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 are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $133,276 to Morgan Stanley Services Company, Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended September 30, 2010, the expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each class of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. . Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $284,640 to Morgan Stanley Distribution Inc. (“MSDI”). For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. For the period June 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $1,118 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
19 Invesco Municipal 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 September 30, 2010. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
During the year ended September 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
Effective July 1, 2009, the Fund has implemented new required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. GAAP has intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.
The table below summarizes the gains (losses) on derivative instruments, detailed by primary risk exposure, recognized in earnings during the period:

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $255 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE��6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 1,189,213 | | | $ | 3,038,286 | |
|
Long-term capital gain | | | 15,653,080 | | | | 31,965,007 | |
|
Total distributions | | $ | 16,842,293 | | | $ | 35,003,293 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 1,055,409 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 24,238,644 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (715 | ) |
|
Post-October deferrals | | | (23,864,993 | ) |

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 445,165,259 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 346,534,367 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to bonds with market discounts and GAAP adjustments.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of September 30, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
September 30, 2017 | | $ | 2,642,290 | |
|
September 30, 2018 | | | 97,416,947 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 100,059,237 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended September 30, 2010 was $28,758,767 and $184,263,874, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 25,162,444 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (923,800 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 24,238,644 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $319,928,838. | | | | |
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of sale of bonds with premium, on September 30, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $49,409, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $49,412 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $3. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 12—Subsequent Event
Following a number of meetings in September and October, 2010, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.
NOTE 13—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
23 Invesco Municipal Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Municipal Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Municipal Fund (formerly known as Morgan Stanley Municipal Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated November 24, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period April 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period April 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010 (as of close of business June 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010 for the Class B and Class C shares), 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 183/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. For the Class B and Class C shares actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 122 (as of close of business June 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010)/365. Because the Class B and Class C shares have not been in existence for a full six month period, the actual ending account value and expense information shown may not provide a meaningful comparison to fund expense information of classes that show such data for a full six month period and, because the actual ending account value and expense information in the expense example covers a short time period, return and expense data may not be indicative of return and expense data for longer time periods. Effective June 1, 2010, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expense of Class A and Class Y to 0.75% and 0.50% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 0.75% and 0.50% for Class A and Class Y shares, respectively. |
3 | The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal year are $3.85 and $2.57 for Class A and Class Y, respectively. |
4 | The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $3.80 and $2.54 for Class A and Class Y, respectively. |
25 Invesco Municipal Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Municipal Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Morgan Stanley retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will 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 to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also 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 all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these
26 Invesco Municipal Fund
services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Bruce Crockett
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.
To that end, I’m pleased to share the news that Invesco has completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments. This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds. Now that the acquisition has closed, Invesco is working to bring the full value of the combined organization to shareholders. The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
All share classes at net asset value (NAV) of Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund posted positive returns during the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2010. The Fund’s class A shares at NAV underperformed the Fund’s broad market benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index, and the Fund’s style-specific benchmark, the Barclays Capital California Insured Municipal Bond Index. The Fund’s security selection in BBB-rated bonds and tobacco bonds were the main detractors from relative performance versus the Barclays Capital California Municipal Bond Index.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide only California investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal and California income taxes, with liquidity and safety of principal, primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of insured California municipal securities.
Under normal market conditions, we seek to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 80% of net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a portfolio of California municipal securities that are insured at the time of purchase as to timely payment of principal and interest by an entity whose claims-paying ability is rated at least A by Standard & Poor’s or an equivalent rating by another agency. The Fund is designed for investors who are residents of California for California tax purposes.
We manage the Fund’s portfolio and adjust the average maturity of portfolio investments based upon our expectations about the direction of interest rates and other economic factors. In selecting securities for investment, we use our research capabilities to identify and monitor attractive investment opportunities and to seek to protect the Fund’s portfolio from early payment by issuers of such securities. In conducting research and analysis, we consider a number of factors, including general market and economic conditions and credit, interest rate and prepayment risks. Portfolio securities are typically sold when our assessments of any of these factors materially change. Although the Fund invests in insured municipal securities, insurance does not protect the Fund from market fluctuations in the value of these securities, but only guarantees timely payment of principal and interest of such investments.
We buy and sell securities for the Fund’s portfolio with a view toward seeking a high level of current income exempt from federal and California income taxes and select securities
we believe have reasonable credit risk considered in relation to the investment policies of the Fund. As a result, the Fund will not necessarily invest in the highest yielding California municipal securities permitted by its investment policies if we determine that market risks or credit risks associated with such investments would subject the Fund’s portfolio to undue risk. The potential realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and frequency of portfolio turnover generally will not be a limiting factor if we consider it advantageous to purchase or sell securities. We may sell securities based on factors such as degradation in credit quality, a decision to shorten or lengthen the fund’s duration, or reducing exposure to a particular sector or issuer.
Market conditions and your Fund
Market conditions during the 12-month reporting period were influenced by two broad themes: private sector recovery and concerns over sovereign creditwor-thiness. In the U.S. and most of the developed world, a gradual and somewhat lackluster recovery continued, with central banks keeping interest rates at low levels and with few of them withdrawing their quantitative easing measures. This helped private sector companies improve their balance sheets and earnings following the global financial crisis that began to dissipate in early 2009. Recently, however, investor skepticism of global governments’ abilities to retire huge amounts of debt without affecting economic growth rates caused sovereign debt distress (especially for Greece and other southern eurozone countries) and became a focal point of investor concern in the first half of 2010.
In the U.S., economic recovery was present, although uneven and possibly slowing, as stubbornly high unemployment continued to weigh on the U.S. economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S. economic activity, increased at an annual rate of 1.7% in the second quarter of 2010.1 In the first quarter, real GDP increased at an annual rate of 3.7%.1 The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained a very accommodative monetary policy throughout the period, with the federal funds target rate unchanged in its range of zero to 0.25%.2 The Fed recently described its view of the U.S. economy: “Financial conditions have become less

supportive of economic growth on balance, largely reflecting developments abroad.”2 As such, it was widely expected that the Fed would continue to keep rates low for an extended period.
Sector performance was driven by quality spread tightening largely as a result of continued flows into the municipal market combined with less tax-exempt issuance. As a result, BBB-rated and lower credit quality sectors outperformed. Fund flows remained strong after a record 2009. In addition, year-to-date issuance through the reporting period is about 2.2% ahead of last year’s pace, at $293.2 billion versus $286.9 billion.3 However, approximately 30% of supply since the beginning of the year was in the form of taxable municipals.3
While many states are currently facing budgetary challenges, California has perhaps received more press than most. The state still benefits from its large and diverse economic base and above-average wealth levels. However, its large exposure to the housing crisis, falling tax revenues and recent budgetary shortfalls posed considerable challenges. Although rating agencies have downgraded the state’s credit rating and the market has reacted accordingly, the negative impact was tempered somewhat by the issuance of taxable Build America Bonds and the continued decrease in supply of tax-exempt debt.
At NAV, the Fund generated positive absolute returns for the reporting period. In terms of yield curve strategy, security selection in the 15- to 20-year range of the curve and at the longer end of the curve enhanced returns relative to the Barclays Capital California Insured Municipal Bond Index.
During the reporting period, lower rated tax-exempt bonds experienced greater price appreciation relative to higher quality issues. An overweight exposure in BBB-rated bonds enhanced Fund returns. However, that was offset by poor security selection in that credit rating category. Security selection among unrated bonds contributed to returns for the period.
At a sector level, the Fund’s underweight exposure to state general obligation bonds and security selection in dedicated tax bonds detracted from performance. In addition, the Fund’s security selection in the tobacco sector was a primary detractor from performance.
Security selection in health care and industrial revenue bonds/pollution control revenue bonds contributed to performance during the reporting period.
We may use inverse floating rate securities in Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund to help manage duration, yield curve exposure and credit exposure and to potentially enhance yield. Over the reporting period, the exposure to inverse floating rate securities contributed to Fund returns.

Results of a $10,000 Investment – Oldest Share Class since Inception
Index data from 11/30/85, Fund data from 12/13/85
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
The data shown in the chart include reinvested distributions, applicable sales charges and Fund expenses including management fees. Index results include reinvested dividends, but they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance of a market index does not.
Performance shown in the chart and table(s) does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the
one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund. Returns shown above for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares was 0.92%, 1.67%, 1.67% and 0.67%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.75% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. For shares purchased prior to June 1, 2005, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 3% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the fifth year. For shares purchased after June 1, 2005 and before June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 4% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the sixth year. For shares purchased on or after June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines
from 5% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rate. They do not reflect the effect of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares in tax-deferred accounts such as 401(k)s or IRAs. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

n | | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require |

7 | | Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund |
Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund’s investment objective is to provide only California investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal and California income taxes, with liquidity and safety of principal, primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of insured California municipal securities.
n | | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of September 30, 2010, and is based on total net assets. |
|
n | | Unless otherwise noted, all data provided by Invesco. |

About share classes
n | | Effective November 30, 2010, Class B or Class B5 shares may not be purchased or acquired by exchange from share classes other than Class B or Class B5 shares. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
|
n | | Class Y shares are available to only certain investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
n | | The yields of municipal securities, or of insured municipal securities, may move differently and adversely compared to the yields of the overall debt securities markets. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. There could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities. |
|
n | | Because the Fund invests substantially all of its assets in a portfolio of California municipal securities, the Fund is more susceptible to political, economic, regulatory or other factors affecting issuers of California municipal securities than a fund that does not limit its investments to such issuers. |
|
n | | A downgrade of an insurer’s claims-paying ability may result in increased credit risk of the municipal securities insured by such insurer and may result in a downgrade of the rating assigned to the municipal securities insured by such insurer. The securities could experience a decrease in market price as a result of such a downgrade. In the even the ratings assigned to such municipal securities decline below investment grade, such municipal |
| | securities would probably become less liquid or even illiquid. There can be no assurance that an issuer will be able to honor its obligations with respect to municipal securities in the Fund’s portfolio. |
|
n | | Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss. |
|
n | | Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. Credit risk should be low for the Fund because it invests substantially all of its assets in insured municipal securities. In the event that the insurers of the Fund’s insured municipal securities are downgraded in their claims-paying abilities by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), the Fund would be subject to potential market value declines and increased credit risk on the municipal securities insured by such insurer. |
|
n | | The income you receive from the Fund is based primarily on prevailing interest rates, which can vary widely over the short-and long-term. If interest rates drop, your income from the Fund may drop as well. |
|
n | | If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of securities with high interest rates will prepay or call their securities before their maturity dates. In this event, the proceeds from these securities would likely be reinvested by the Fund in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in the Fund’s income and distributions to shareholders. |
n | | Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Investments in debt securities generally are affected by changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. The prices of debt securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among debt securities with longer maturities. Generally, the Fund’s municipal securities are insured as to timely payment of principal and interest by a private insurance company. |
About indexes used in this report
n | | The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the tax-exempt bond market. |
|
n | | The Barclays Capital California Insured Municipal Bond Index tracks the performance of California issued municipal bonds with two or more years to maturity. |
|
n | | The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es). |
|
n | | 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. |

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), formerly AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eleven separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Tax Free Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010, (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares received Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class Y shares of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide only California investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal and California income taxes, with liquidity and safety of principal, primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of insured California municipal securities.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.
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. |
19 Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund
| | |
| | Securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. 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, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and principal payments. |
| | Securities for which market quotations either are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition; trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news; and other relevant factors under the circumstances. |
| | Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. |
B. | | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser. |
| | The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on 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 necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable and tax-exempt 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. |
| | In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders “exempt-interest dividends”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. |
| | 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. Prior to the Reorganization, incremental transfer agency fees which are unique to each class of shares of the Acquired Fund were charged to the operations of such class. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these |
20 Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund
| | |
| | arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | | Securities 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. | | Other Risks — The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. |
| | Since, many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and a Fund’s investments in municipal securities. |
| | There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service. |
K. | | Floating Rate Obligations Related to Securities Held — The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to Special Purpose Trusts established by a broker dealer (“Dealer Trusts”) fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interests in the Dealer Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The Dealer Trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interest in the bonds. The Fund may enter into shortfall agreements with the Dealer Trusts which commit the Fund to pay the Dealer Trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the Dealer Trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the Dealer Trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the Dealer Trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Dealer Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating rate note and dealer trust obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate obligations and any administrative expenses of the Dealer Trusts under the caption “Interest, line of credit and residual trust expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The floating rate notes issued by the Dealer Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the Dealer Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the year ended September 30, 2010 were $9,074,469 and 0.94%, respectively. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $100 million | | | 0 | .500% |
|
Next $150 million | | | 0 | .450% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .425% |
|
Over $500 million | | | 0 | .400% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $576,867 to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares to 0.95%, 1.70%, 1.70% and 0.70% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this limitation.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and chief compliance officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments Inc. (“VKII”) provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $19,520 to VKII. For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these
21 Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund
agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. 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 are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended September 30, 2010, IIS was paid $27,558 for providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $30,767 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares to compensate IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets.
With respect to Class B and Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class B and Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc. (“VKFI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $371,279 to VKFI.
For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. For the period June 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $3,240 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $66, $674 and $3 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Prior to the Reorganization, VKFI retained $27,166 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $3,940, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
22 Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund
For the period ended September 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $214 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund recognized expense of $9,950 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a director of the Acquired Fund was a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provided legal services as legal counsel to the Acquired Fund.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 31,112 | | | $ | 1,520 | |
|
Tax exempt income | | | 7,856,179 | | | | 8,524,382 | |
|
Total distributions | | $ | 7,887,291 | | | $ | 8,525,902 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 322,931 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 4,803,565 | |

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 182,605,216 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 174,494,672 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund utilized $0 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of September 30, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
September 30, 2016 | | $ | 803,875 | |
|
September 30, 2017 | | | 4,399,730 | |
|
September 30, 2018 | | | 7,025,583 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 12,229,188 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |

NOTE 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended September 30, 2010 was $15,928,827 and $31,985,987, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (3,118,732 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 4,803,565 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $176,135,637. |
NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of bond premium amortization, on September 30, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $38,916, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $57,140 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $18,224. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
(b) | | Includes automatic conversion of 87,449 Class B shares into 88,954 Class A shares at a value of $1,483,855. |
Effective November 30, 2010, all Invesco funds will be closing their Class B shares. Shareholders with investments in Class B shares may continue to hold such shares until they convert to Class A shares, but no additional investments will be accepted in Class B shares on or after November 30, 2010. Any dividends or capital gains distributions may continue to be reinvested in Class B shares until conversion. Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering such shares until they convert.
NOTE 10—Purposes and Risks Relating to Certain Financial Instruments
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed
24 Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund
rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such instruments are typically created by a Special Purpose Trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Fund in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash flow from the bonds held by the Special Purpose Trust and the Fund is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.
In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the Special Purpose Trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Fund, the Fund will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Fund could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.
The Fund may also invest in private placement securities. TOBs are presently classified as private placement securities. Private placement securities are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or are otherwise not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.
NOTE 11—Borrowings
During the period ended September 30, 2010, the Acquired Fund entered into a $150,000,000 joint revolving bank credit facility. The Fund terminated its participation in the facility on May 31, 2010.
NOTE 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
NOTE 13—Subsequent Event
Following a number of meetings in September and October, 2010, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco California Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund (formerly known as Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated November 20, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period April 1, 2010, through September 30, 2010.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will 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 to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also 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 all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these
28 Invesco Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund
services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.
To that end, I’m pleased to share the news that Invesco has completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments. This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds. Now that the acquisition has closed, Invesco is working to bring the full value of the combined organization to shareholders. The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
All share classes of Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund posted positive returns at net asset value (NAV) during the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2010. The Fund’s Class A shares at NAV underperformed the Fund’s broad market and style-specific benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. The Fund’s security selection in utilities and tobacco securities were the main detractors from performance versus the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
Our investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes, with liquidity and safety of principal, primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of insured municipal securities.
We seek to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in a portfolio of municipal securities that are insured at the time of purchase as to timely payment of principal and interest by an entity whose claims-paying ability is rated at least A by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) or an equivalent rating by another rating agency.
We actively manage the Fund’s portfolio and adjust the average maturity of portfolio investments based upon our expectations about the direction of interest rates and other economic factors. In selecting securities for investment, we use our research capabilities to identify

and monitor attractive investment opportunities and to seek to protect the Fund’s portfolio from early payment by issuers of such securities. In conducting our research and analysis, we consider a number of factors, including general market and economic conditions and credit, interest rate and prepayment risks. Portfolio securities are typically sold when the assessments of any of these factors materially change. Although the Fund invests in insured municipal securities, insurance does not protect the Fund from fluctuations in the value of insured securities, but only guarantees timely payment of principal and interest of such investments.
We buy and sell securities for the Fund’s portfolio with a view toward seeking a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax and select securities that we believe have reasonable credit risk when considered in relation to the investment policies of the Fund. As a result, the Fund will not necessarily invest in the highest yielding

municipal securities permitted by its investment policies if we determine that market risks or credit risks associated with such investments would subject the Fund’s portfolio to undue risk. The potential realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration, and frequency of portfolio turnover generally will not be a limiting factor if we consider it advantageous to purchase or sell securities. We may sell securities based on factors such as degradation in credit quality, a decision to shorten or lengthen the Fund’s duration, or reducing exposure to a particular sector or issuer.
Market conditions and your Fund
Market conditions during the reporting period were influenced by two broad themes: private sector recovery and concerns over sovereign creditworthiness. In the U.S. and most of the developed world, a gradual and somewhat lackluster recovery continued, with central banks keeping interest rates at low levels and with few of them withdrawing their quantitative easing measures. This helped private sector companies improve their balance sheets and earnings following the global financial crisis that began to dissipate in early 2009. Recently, however, investor skepticism of global governments’ abilities to retire huge amounts of debt without affecting economic growth rates caused sovereign debt distress (especially for Greece and other southern eurozone countries) and became a focal point of investor concern in the first half of 2010.
In the U.S., economic recovery was present, although uneven and possibly slowing, as stubbornly high

unemployment continued to weigh on the U.S. economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S. economic activity, increased at an annual rate of 1.7% in the second quarter of 2010.1 In the first quarter, real GDP increased 3.7%.1 The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained a very accommodative monetary policy throughout the period, with the federal funds target rate unchanged in its range of zero to 0.25%.2 The Fed recently described its view of the U.S. economy: “Financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth on balance, largely reflecting developments abroad.”2 As such, it was widely expected that the Fed would continue to keep rates low for an extended period.
Sector performance was driven by quality spread tightening largely as a result of continued flows into the municipal market combined with less tax-exempt issuance. As a result, BBB-rated and lower credit quality sectors outperformed. Fund flows
remained strong after a record 2009. In addition, year-to-date issuance through the reporting period was about 2.2% ahead of last year’s pace, at $293.2 billion versus $286.9 billion.3 However, approximately 30% of supply since the beginning of the year was in the form of taxable municipal bonds.3
The Fund generated positive absolute returns for the reporting period. In terms of yield curve strategy, security selection in the 12- to 20-year range of the curve slightly contributed to Fund returns over the period.
During the reporting period, lower rated tax-exempt bonds and non-rated bonds experienced greater price appreciation relative to higher quality issues. An overweight exposure in BBB- and non-rated bonds was a positive factor. However, this was more than offset by poor security selection in those areas.
At the sector level, the Fund’s underweight position and security selection in tax-supported bonds, specifically state and local general obligation bonds, was a main contributor to performance for the period. Security selection in tobacco and utilities were main detractors from Fund performance.
We may use inverse floating rate securities in Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund to help manage duration, yield curve exposure and credit exposure and to potentially enhance yield. Over the reporting period, our exposure to inverse floating rate securities contributed to Fund returns.
Thank you for investing in Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

Index data from 11/30/84, Fund data from 12/14/84
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
The data shown in the chart include reinvested distributions, applicable sales charges and Fund expenses including management fees. Index results include reinvested dividends, but they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance of a market index does not.
Performance shown in the chart and table(s) does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the
one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund. Returns shown above for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares was 1.00%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 0.75%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may
vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.75% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. For shares purchased prior to June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 4% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. For shares purchased on or after June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rate. They do not reflect the effect of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their
shares in tax-deferred accounts such as 401(k)s or IRAs. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
7 | | Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund |
Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, with liquidity and safety of principal, primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of insured municipal securities.
n | | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of September 30, 2010, and is based on total net assets. |

About share classes
n | | Effective November 30, 2010, Class B or Class B5 shares may not be purchased or acquired by exchange from share classes other than Class B or Class B5 shares. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
|
n | | Class Y shares are available to only certain investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
n | | The yields of municipal securities, or of insured municipal securities, may move differently and adversely compared to the yields of the overall debt securities markets. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. There could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities. |
|
n | | A downgrade of an insurer’s claims-paying ability may result in increased credit risk of the municipal securities insured by such insurer and may result in a downgrade of the rating assigned to the municipal securities insured by such insurer. The securities could experience a decrease in market price as a result of such a downgrade. In the event the ratings assigned to such municipal securities decline below investment grade, such municipal securities would probably become less liquid or even illiquid. There can be no assurance that an issuer will be able to honor its obligations with respect to municipal securities in the Fund’s portfolio. |
|
n | | Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by |
| | the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. |
|
n | | Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. Credit risk should be low for the Fund because it invests substantially all of its assets in insured municipal securities. In the event that the insurers of the Fund’s insured municipal securities are downgraded in their claims-paying abilities by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), the Fund would be subject to potential market value declines and increased credit risk on the municipal securities insured by such insurer. |
|
n | | The income you receive from the Fund is based primarily on prevailing interest rates, which can vary widely over the short-and long-term. If interest rates drop, your income from the Fund may drop as well. |
|
n | | If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of callable securities held by the Fund will call or prepay their securities before their maturity dates. In this event, the proceeds from the called securities would most likely be reinvested by the Fund in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in the Fund’s income and distributions to shareholders and termination of any conversion option on convertible securities. |
|
n | | Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Investments in debt securities generally are affected by changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. The prices of debt securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among debt securities with longer maturities. Generally, |
| | the Fund’s municipal securities are insured as to timely payment of principal and interest by a private insurance company. This insurance does not, however, guarantee that the prices of these securities will remain stable during interest rate changes. |
About indexes used in this report
n | | The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the tax-exempt bond market. |
|
n | | The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es). |
|
n | | A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not. |
Other information
n | | The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis. |
|
n | | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. |
This report must be accompanied or preceded by a currently effective Fund prospectus, which contains more complete information, including sales charges and expenses. Investors should read it carefully before investing.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), formerly AIM Tax-Exempt Funds, (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eleven separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Tax Free Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010, (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares received Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s – Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class Y shares of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, with liquidity and safety of principal, primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of insured municipal securities.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
24 Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | Securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. 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, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and principal payments. |
| | Securities for which market quotations either are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition; trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news; and other relevant factors under the circumstances. |
| | Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. |
B. | | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser. |
| | The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on 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 necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable and tax-exempt 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. |
| | In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders “exempt-interest dividends”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. |
| | 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. Prior to the Reorganization, incremental transfer agency fees which are unique to each class of shares of the Acquired Fund were charged to the operations of such class. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into |
25 Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund
| | |
| | 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 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. | | Other Risks — The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. |
| | Since many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and a Fund’s investments in municipal securities. |
| | There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service. |
K. | | Floating Rate Obligations Related to Securities Held — The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to Special Purpose Trusts established by a broker dealer (“Dealer Trusts”) fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interests in the Dealer Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The Dealer Trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interest in the bonds. The Fund may enter into shortfall agreements with the Dealer Trusts which commit the Fund to pay the Dealer Trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the Dealer Trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the Dealer Trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the Dealer Trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Dealer Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating rate note and dealer trust obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate obligations and any administrative expenses of the Dealer Trusts under the caption “Interest, line of credit and residual trust expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The floating rate notes issued by the Dealer Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the Dealer Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the year ended September 30, 2010 were $61,746,700 and 1.02%, respectively. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $500 million | | | 0 | .525% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .500% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .475% |
|
Over $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .450% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $3,024,267 to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares to 0.90%, 1.65%, 1.65% and 0.65% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this limitation.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and chief compliance officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments Inc. (“VKII”) provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the
26 Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund
Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $47,141 to VKII. For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
Prior to the Reorganization, under a legal services agreement, VKII provided legal services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, the Acquired Fund paid $30,477 to VKII.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. 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 are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended September 30, 2010, IIS was paid $160,304 for providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $189,076 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares to compensate IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets.
With respect to Class B and Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class B and Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc. (“VKFI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $1,688,840 to VKFI.
For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. For the period June 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $22,802 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,686, $6,207, $888 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Prior to the Reorganization, VKFI retained $128,535 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $21,589, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
For the period ended September 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $357 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund recognized expenses of $20,369 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (“Skadden”), of which a director of the Acquired Fund was a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provided legal services as legal counsel to the Acquired Fund.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 9,286 | | | $ | 29,572 | |
|
Ordinary income-tax exempt | | | 38,874,573 | | | | 41,064,410 | |
|
Total distributions | | $ | 38,883,859 | | | $ | 41,093,982 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed tax exempt income | | $ | 424,086 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 44,004,183 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (60 | ) |
|
Post-October deferrals | | | (4,918,046 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (87,144,049 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 935,082,950 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 887,449,064 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund utilized $0 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of September 30, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
September 30, 2015 | | $ | 210,390 | |
|
September 30, 2016 | | | 7,990,386 | |
|
September 30, 2017 | | | 67,058,676 | |

September 30, 2018 | | | 11,884,597 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 87,144,049 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |

NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of tax accretion, on September 30, 2010, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $297,934 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $297,934. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 10—Purposes and Risks Relating to Certain Financial Instruments
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such
29 Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund
instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Fund in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust and the Fund is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.
In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Fund, the Fund will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Fund could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.
The Fund may also invest in private placement securities. TOBs are presently classified as private placement securities. Private placement securities are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or are otherwise not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.
NOTE 11—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
NOTE 12—Subsequent Event
Following a number of meetings in September and October, 2010, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.
NOTE 13—Borrowings
During the period ended September 30, 2010, the Acquired Fund entered into a $150,000,000 joint revolving bank credit facility. The Fund terminated its participation in the facility on May 31, 2010.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Fund (formerly known as Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated November 20, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period April 1, 2010, through September 30, 2010.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period April 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

| Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements |
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will 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 to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also 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 all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these
33 Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund
services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholders:

Bruce Crockett
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.
To that end, I’m pleased to share the news that Invesco has completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments. This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds. Now that the acquisition has closed, Invesco is working to bring the full value of the combined organization to shareholders. The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
All share classes of Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund at net asset value (NAV) posted positive returns during the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2010. The Fund’s Class A shares at NAV outperformed both the Fund’s broad market benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index, and the Fund’s style-specific index, the Barclays Capital New York Municipal Index. The Fund’s security selection on the long end of the yield curve and an overweight position and security selection in BBB-rated bonds and non-rated bonds were the main contributors to relative outperformance versus the Barclays Capital New York Municipal Index.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.
Fund vs. Indexes

How we invest
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes, consistent with preservation of capital.
Under normal market conditions, we seek to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 65% of the Fund’s total assets in investment grade municipal securities. Investment grade securities are rated BBB or higher by S&P or Baa or higher by Moody’s or an equivalent rating by another agency or unrated securities which we determine to be of comparable quality. However, the Fund may not invest more than 20% of its total assets in unrated investment grade securities.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in municipal securities rated below investment grade and unrated municipal

securities which we determine to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase. Lower grade securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds and involve greater risks than investments in higher grade securities. With respect to such investments, the Fund has not established any limit on the percentage of its portfolio that may be invested in securities in any one rating category.
The Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of its assets in municipal securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, the Fund may not be a suitable investment for investors who are already subject to the federal alternative minimum tax or could become subject to the federal alternative minimum tax as a result of an investment in the Fund. From time to time, the Fund temporarily may invest up to 10% of its total assets in tax

Market conditions and your Fund
Market conditions during the reporting period were influenced by two broad themes: private sector recovery and concerns over sovereign creditworthiness. In the U.S. and most of the developed world, a gradual and somewhat lackluster recovery continued, with central banks keeping interest rates at low levels and with few of them withdrawing their quantitative easing measures. This helped private sector companies improve their balance sheets and earnings following the global financial crisis that began to dissipate in early 2009. Recently, however, investor skepticism of global governments’ abilities to retire huge amounts of debt without affecting economic growth rates caused sovereign debt distress (especially for Greece and other southern eurozone countries) and became a focal point of investor concern in the first half of 2010.
In the U.S., economic recovery was present, although uneven and possibly slowing, as stubbornly high unemployment continued to weigh on the U.S. economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S. economic activity, increased at an annual rate of 1.7% in the second quarter of 2010.1 In the first quarter, real GDP increased 3.7%.1 The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained a very accommodative monetary policy throughout the period, with the federal funds target rate unchanged in its range of zero to 0.25%.2 The Fed recently described its view of the U.S. economy: “Financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth on balance, largely reflecting developments abroad.”2 As such, it was widely expected that the Fed would continue to keep rates low for an extended period.

Sector performance was driven by quality spread tightening largely a result of continued flows into the municipal market combined with less tax-exempt issuance. As a result, BBB-rated and lower credit quality sectors outperformed. Fund flows have continued to remain strong after a record 2009.3 In addition, year-to-date issuance through the reporting period is about 2.2% ahead of last year’s pace, at $293.2 billion versus $286.9 billion.3 However, approximately 30% of supply since the beginning of the year was in the form of taxable municipal bonds.3
At NAV, the Fund generated positive returns for the reporting period. In terms of yield curve positioning, security selection in the 12- to 15- year range of the curve contributed to returns relative to the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index.
During the reporting period, lower rated tax-exempt bonds experienced greater price appreciation relative to higher quality issues. An overweight exposure to BBB- and non-rated bonds was a positive contributor to relative and absolute returns.
At the sector level, the Fund’s underweight exposure to the pre-refunded sector contributed to returns. Security selection in education, and an overweight position and security selection in health care also contributed to returns during the reporting period.
Security selection in transportation bonds slightly detracted from performance during the period.
We may use inverse floating rate securities in Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund to help manage duration, yield curve exposure and credit exposure and to potentially enhance yield. Over the reporting period, the exposure to inverse floating rate securities in the Fund enhanced returns.

Your Fund’s Long-Term Performance
Results of a $10,000 Investment – Oldest Share Classes since Inception
Fund data from 5/28/93, index data from 5/31/93
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
The data shown in the chart include reinvested distributions, applicable sales charges and Fund expenses including management fees. Index results include reinvested dividends, but they do not reflect sales charges. Results for Class B shares are calculated as if a hypothetical shareholder had liquidated his entire investment in the Fund at the close of the reporting period and paid the applicable contingent deferred sales charges. Index results include reinvested dividends, but
they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance of a market index does not. Performance shown in the chart and table(s) does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund. Returns shown above for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares was 0.89%, 1.64%, 1.64% and 0.64%, respectively.1 The
total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares was 0.99%, 1.74%, 1.74% and 0.74%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.75% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. For shares purchased prior to June 1, 2005, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 3% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the fifth year. For shares purchased after June 1, 2005 and before June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 4% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the sixth year. For shares purchased on or after June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rate. They do not reflect the effect of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares in tax-deferred accounts such as 401(k)s or IRAs. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
n | | The yields of municipal securities may move differently and adversely compared to the yields of the overall debt securities markets. Although the interest received from municipal securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of its total assets in municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities. |
|
n | | Risks of derivatives include imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to certain transactions; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. |
|
n | | Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. Medium-grade obligations possess speculative characteristics so that changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the issuer to make principal and interest payments than in the case of higher-rated securities. The credit quality of |
| | noninvestment grade securities is considered speculative by recognized rating agencies with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to pay interest and principal. Lower-grade securities (also sometimes know as junk bonds) may have less liquidity and a higher incidence of default than higher-grade securities. The Fund may incur higher expenses to protect the Fund’s interest in such securities. The credit risks and market prices of lower-grade securities generally are more sensitive to negative issuer developments or adverse economic conditions than are higher-grade securities. |
|
n | | The income you receive from the Fund is based primarily on prevailing interest rates, which can vary widely over the short and long term. If interest rates drop, your income from the Fund may drop as well. |
|
n | | If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of debt securities with high interest rates will prepay or call their securities before their maturity dates. In this event, the proceeds from the called securities would likely be reinvested by the Fund in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in the Fund’s income and distributions to shareholders. |
|
n | | Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Investments in debt securities generally are affected by changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. The prices of debt securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among debt securities with longer maturities. As interest rates change, zero coupon bonds often fluctuate more in price than traditional debt securities and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that does not own these types of securities. |
About indexes used in this report
n | | The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the tax-exempt bond market. |
n | | The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes. |
|
n | | A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not. |
Other information
n | | The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis. |
|
n | | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. |
|
n | | Industry classifications used in this report are generally according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s. |

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), formerly AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eleven separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Tax Free Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010, (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares received Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund.
26 Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class Y shares of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.
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. |
| | Securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. 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, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and principal payments. |
| | Securities for which market quotations either are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition; trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news; and other relevant factors under the circumstances. |
| | Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. |
B. | | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser. |
| | The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on 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 necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable and tax-exempt 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. |
| | In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders “exempt-interest dividends”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. |
| | 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. |
27 Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
| | |
F. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. Prior to the Reorganization, incremental transfer agency fees which are unique to each class of shares of the Acquired Fund were charged to the operations of such class. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | | Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis — The Fund may purchase and sell interests in 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. | | Other Risks — The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. |
| | Since many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and a Fund’s investments in municipal securities. |
| | There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service. |
K. | | Floating Rate Obligations Related to Securities Held — The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to Special Purpose Trusts established by a broker dealer (“Dealer Trusts”) fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interests in the Dealer Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The Dealer Trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interest in the bonds. The Fund may enter into shortfall agreements with the Dealer Trusts which commit the Fund to pay the Dealer Trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the Dealer Trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the Dealer Trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the Dealer Trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Dealer Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating rate note and dealer trust obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate obligations and any administrative expenses of the Dealer Trusts under the caption “Interest, line of credit and residual trust expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The floating rate notes issued by the Dealer Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the Dealer Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the year ended September 30, 2010 were $4,271,039 and 0.87%, respectively. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $500 million | | | 0 | .50% |
|
Over $500 million | | | 0 | .45% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $1,032,602 to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares
28 Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
to 0.90%, 1.65%, 1.65% and 0.65% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen voluntarily waived $206,520 of fees and/or reimbursed expenses of the Acquired Fund.
For the period ended September 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $113,979.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and chief compliance officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments Inc. (“VKII”) provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $25,848 to VKII. For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
Prior to the Reorganization, under a legal services agreement, VKII provided legal services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, the Acquired Fund paid $17,640 to VKII.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. 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 are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended September 30, 2010, IIS was paid $51,796 for providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $33,495 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares to compensate IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets.
With respect to Class B and Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class B and Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc. (“VKFI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $813,093 to VKFI.
For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. For the period June 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $26,495 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $996, $3,657 and $2,824 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Prior to the Reorganization, VKFI retained $147,236 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $21,852, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
29 Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
For the period ended September 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $245 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund recognized expense of $5,291 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a director of the Acquired Fund was a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provided legal services as legal counsel to the Acquired Fund.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 7,295 | | | $ | 2,366 | |
|
Ordinary income — tax exempt | | | 12,170,068 | | | | 8,333,691 | |
|
Total distributions | | $ | 12,177,363 | | | $ | 8,336,057 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 341,728 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 23,316,258 | |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (447,036 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 334,922,493 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 358,133,443 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to bond premium.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
30 Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
The Fund utilized $0 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of September 30, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
September 30, 2015 | | $ | 2,882 | |
|
September 30, 2017 | | | 320,180 | |
|
September 30, 2018 | | | 123,974 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 447,036 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended September 30, 2010 was $102,822,696 and $38,460,040, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 24,569,296 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (1,253,038 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 23,316,258 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $337,668,976. |
NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of tax accretion, on September 30, 2010, undistributed net investment income (loss) was decreased by $8,233 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $8,233. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Effective November 30, 2010, all Invesco funds will be closing their Class B shares. Shareholders with investments in Class B shares may continue to hold such shares until they convert to Class A shares, but no additional investments will be accepted in Class B shares on or after November 30, 2010.

Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering such shares until they convert.
NOTE 10—Purposes and Risks Relating to Certain Financial Instruments
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Fund in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust and the Fund is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.
In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Fund, the Fund will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Fund could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.
The Fund may also invest in private placement securities. TOBs are presently classified as private placement securities. Private placement securities are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or are otherwise not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.
NOTE 11—Borrowings
During the period ended September 30, 2010, the Acquired Fund entered into a $150,000,000 joint revolving bank credit facility. The Fund terminated its participation in the facility on May 31, 2010.
NOTE 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
NOTE 13—Subsequent Event
Following a number of meetings in September and October, 2010, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would acquire all of the assets and liabilities of Invesco Municipal Fund (the “Target Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Target Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund (formerly known as Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated November 20, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

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

| Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-advisory Agreements |
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will 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 to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also 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 all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these
35 Invesco Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

2 Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund

Bruce CrockettDear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.
To that end, I’m pleased to share the news that Invesco has completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments. This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds. Now that the acquisition has closed, Invesco is working to bring the full value of the combined organization to shareholders. The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
All share classes of Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund at net asset value (NAV) posted positive returns during the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2010. The Fund’s Class A shares at NAV outperformed the Fund’s broad market and style-specific benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. The Fund’s security selection at the long end of the yield curve, and an overweight position and security selection in the life care asset class were the main contributors to relative outperformance versus the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital.
Under normal market conditions, we seek to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in investment grade municipal securities. Investment grade securities are: securities rated BBB or higher by S&P or Baa or higher by Moody’s or an equivalent rating by another agency, comparably rated short term securities or unrated municipal securities which we have determined to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in municipal securities rated below investment grade. Lower grade securities

are commonly referred to as junk bonds and involve greater risks than investments in higher grade securities. The Fund does not purchase securities that are in default or rated in categories lower than B- by S&P or B3 by Moody’s or unrated securities of comparable quality.
The Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of its total assets in municipal securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, the Fund may not be a suitable investment for investors who are already subject to the federal alternative minimum tax or could become subject to the federal alternative minimum tax as a result of an investment in the Fund. From time to time, the Fund temporarily may invest up to 10% of its total assets in tax-exempt money market funds, and such instruments will be treated as investments in municipal securities. Investments in other mutual funds may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses. We may sell securities based on factors such as degradation in credit quality, a decision to shorten or lengthen the Fund’s duration, or reducing exposure to a particular sector or issuer.

Market conditions and your Fund
Market conditions during the reporting period were influenced by two broad themes: private sector recovery and concerns over sovereign creditworthi-ness. In the U.S. and most of the developed world, a gradual and somewhat lackluster recovery continued, with central banks keeping interest rates at low levels and with few of them withdrawing their quantitative easing measures. This helped private sector companies improve their balance sheets and earnings following the global financial crisis that began to dissipate in early 2009. Recently, however, investor skepticism of global governments’ abilities to retire huge amounts of debt without affecting economic growth rates caused sovereign debt distress (especially for Greece and other southern eurozone countries) and became a focal point of investor concern in the first half of 2010.
In the U.S., economic recovery was present, although uneven and possibly slowing, as stubbornly high unemployment continued to weigh on the U.S. economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S. economic activity, increased at an annual rate of 1.7% in the second quarter of 2010.1 In the first quarter, real GDP increased 3.7%.1 The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) maintained a very accommodative monetary policy throughout the period, with the federal funds target rate unchanged in its range of zero to 0.25%.2 The Fed recently described its view of the U.S. economy by stating: “Financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth on balance, largely reflecting developments abroad.”2 As such, it was widely expected that the Fed would continue to keep rates low for an extended period.
Sector performance was driven by quality spread tightening largely as a result of continued flows into the municipal market combined with less tax-exempt issuance. As a result, BBB-rated and lower credit quality sectors outperformed. Fund flows have continued to remain strong after a record 2009.3 In addition, year-to-date issuance through the reporting period is about 2.2% ahead of last year’s pace, at $293.2 billion versus 286.9 billion.3 However, approximately 30% of supply since the beginning of the year was in the form of taxable municipal bonds.3
The Fund generated positive absolute returns for the reporting period. Class A shares generated positive relative returns
4 Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund
versus the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. In terms of yield curve positioning, security selection in the 12- to 20-year range of the curve as well as on the long-end of the curve contributed to returns relative to the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index.
During the reporting period, lower rated tax-exempt bonds experienced greater price increases relative to higher quality issues. An overweight exposure and security selection in BBB-rated bonds was a positive contributor to relative and absolute returns. Security selection in non-rated bonds also contributed to performance.
At a sector level, the Fund’s underweight position and security selection in tax-supported bonds, specifically local general obligation bonds, was a contributor on a relative basis. At the industry level, our overweight and security selection in the life care asset class and industrial revenue bond/pollution control revenue bond sectors contributed to positive absolute and relative returns for the reporting period.
Our overweight exposure and security selection in tobacco bonds detracted from performance on an absolute and relative basis for the period.
We may use inverse floating rate securities in Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund to help manage duration, yield curve exposure and credit exposure, and to potentially enhance yield. Over the reporting period, the exposure to inverse floating rate securities in the Fund enhanced returns.
Thank you for investing in Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

Your Fund’s Long-Term Performance
Results of a $10,000 Investment — Oldest Share Class since Inception
Index data from 7/31/90, Fund data from 8/1/90
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
The data shown in the chart include reinvested distributions, applicable sales charges and Fund expenses including management fees. Index results include reinvested dividends, but they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance of a market index does not.
Performance shown in the chart and table(s) does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the
one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund. Returns shown above for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares was 1.00%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 0.75%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios
presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.75% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. For shares purchased prior to June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 4% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. For shares purchased on or after June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rate. They do not reflect the effect of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their
shares in tax-deferred accounts such as 401(k)s or IRAs. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
7 Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund
Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with
a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of
capital.
n | | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of September 30, 2010, and is based on total net assets. |
|
n | | Unless otherwise noted, all data provided by Invesco. |

n | | To access your Fund’s reports/prospectus visit invesco.com/fundreports. |
About share classes
n | | Effective November 30, 2010, Class B or Class B5 shares may not be purchased or acquired by exchange from share classes other than Class B or Class B5 shares. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
|
n | | Class Y shares are available to only certain investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
n | | The yields of municipal securities may move differently and adversely compared to the yields of the overall debt securities markets. Although the interest received from municipal securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of its total assets in municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities. |
|
n | | Risks of derivatives include possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to certain transactions; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. |
|
n | | Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. Medium-grade obligations possess speculative characteristics so that changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the issuer to make principal and interest payments |
|
| | than in the case of higher-rated securities. The credit quality of noninvestment grade securities is considered speculative by recognized rating agencies with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to pay interest and principal. Lower-grade securities (also sometimes known as junk bonds) may have less liquidity and a higher incidence of default than higher-grade securities. The Fund may incur higher expenses to protect the Fund’s interest in such securities. The credit risks and market prices of lower-grade securities generally are more sensitive to negative issuer developments or adverse economic conditions than are higher-grade securities. |
|
n | | The income you receive from the Fund is based primarily on prevailing interest rates, which can vary widely over the short and long term. If interest rates drop, your income from the Fund may drop as well. |
|
n | | If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of securities with high interest rates will prepay or call their securities before their maturity dates. In this event, the proceeds from the called securities would likely be reinvested by the Fund in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in the Fund’s income and distributions to shareholders. |
|
n | | Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Investments in debt securities generally are affected by changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. The prices of debt securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among debt securities with longer maturities. As interest rates change, zero coupon bonds often fluctuate more in price than traditional debt securities and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that does not own these types of securities. |
About indexes used in this report
n | | The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the tax-exempt bond market. |
|
n | | The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es). |
|
n | | A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not. |
Other information
n | | The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis. |
|
n | | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. |
This report must be accompanied or preceded by a currently effective Fund prospectus, which contains more complete information, including sales charges and expenses. Investors should read it carefully before investing.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), formerly AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eleven separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Tax Free Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010, (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares received Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class Y shares of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.
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. |
| | Securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. 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 |
28 Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund
| | |
| | trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and principal payments. |
| | Securities for which market quotations either are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition; trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news; and other relevant factors under the circumstances. |
| | Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. |
B. | | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser. |
| | The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on 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 necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable and tax-exempt 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. |
| | In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders “exempt-interest dividends”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. |
| | 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. Prior to the Reorganization, incremental transfer agency fees which are unique to each class of shares of the Acquired Fund were charged to the operations of such class. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
29 Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund
| | |
I. | | Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis — The Fund may purchase and sell interests in 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. | | Other Risks — The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. |
| | Since, many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and a Fund’s investments in municipal securities. |
| | There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service. |
K. | | Floating Rate Obligations Related to Securities Held — The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to Special Purpose Trusts established by a broker dealer (“Dealer Trusts”) fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interests in the Dealer Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The Dealer Trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interest in the bonds. The Fund may enter into shortfall agreements with the Dealer Trusts which commit the Fund to pay the Dealer Trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the Dealer Trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the Dealer Trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the Dealer Trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Dealer Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate obligations and any administrative expenses of the Dealer Trusts under the caption “Interest, line of credit and residual trust expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The floating rate notes issued by the Dealer Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the Dealer Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the year ended September 30, 2010 were $66,969,220 and 0.83%, respectively. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $500 million | | | 0 | .50% |
|
Over $500 million | | | 0 | .45% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $2,227,737 to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares to 0.90%, 1.65%, 1.65% and 0.65% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this limitation.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and chief compliance officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments Inc. (“VKII”) provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $39,384 to VKII. For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of
30 Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund
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 are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended September 30, 2010, IIS was paid $119,551 for providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $110,967 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares to compensate IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets.
With respect to Class B and Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class B and Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc. (“VKFI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $1,485,522 to VKFI.
For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. For the period June 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $26,761 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,142, $10,707 and $1,769 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Prior to the Reorganization, VKFI retained $126,764 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $43,211, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
For the period ended September 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $318 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund recognized expense of $12,064 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a director of the Acquired Fund was a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provided legal services as legal counsel to the Acquired Fund.

NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited to use $0 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011.
The Fund utilized $0 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of September 30, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
September 30, 2015 | | $ | 10,905,393 | |

NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of defaulted bonds transactions and net operating losses, on September 30, 2010, accumulated undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $1,922,118, accumulated net realized gain (loss) was increased by $5,326,517 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $7,248,635. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering such shares until they convert.
NOTE 10—Purposes and Risks Relating to Certain Financial Instruments
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such instruments are typically created by a Special Purpose Trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Fund in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust and the Fund is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.
In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose
33 Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund
trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Fund, the Fund will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Fund could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.
The Fund may also invest in private placement securities. TOBs are presently classified as private placement securities. Private placement securities are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or are otherwise not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.
NOTE 11—Borrowings
During the period ended September 30, 2010, the Acquired Fund entered into a $150,000,000 joint revolving bank credit facility. The Fund terminated its participation in the facility on May 31, 2010.
NOTE 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
NOTE 13—Subsequent Event
Following a number of meetings in September and October, 2010, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would acquire all of the assets and liabilities of Invesco Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund and Invesco Tax Exempt Securities Fund (the “Target Funds”) in exchange for shares of the Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Target Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund (formerly known as Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated November 20, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. With the exception of the actual ending account value and expenses of the Class S shares, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period April 1, 2010, through September 30, 2010. The actual ending account value and expenses of the Class S shares in the example below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business September 25, 2009 (commencement date) and held through September 30, 2010.
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 (as of close of business September 25, 2009 through September 30, 2010 for the Class S shares). Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period for the Class S shares, the ending account value and expense information may not provide a meaningful comparison to mutual funds that provide such information for a full six month period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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 183/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

| Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements |
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will 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 to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also 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 all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the
37 Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund
terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.
To that end, I’m pleased to share the news that Invesco has completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments. This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds. Now that the acquisition has closed, Invesco is working to bring the full value of the combined organization to shareholders. The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
All share classes of Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund at net asset value (NAV) posted positive returns during the 12-month reporting period ended September 30, 2010. The Fund’s Class A shares at NAV outperformed both the Fund’s broad market benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index, and the Fund’s style-specific index, the Barclays Capital New York Municipal Index. The Fund’s security selection on the long end of the yield curve and an overweight position and security selection in BBB-rated bonds and non-rated bonds were the main contributors to relative outperformance versus the Barclays Capital New York Municipal Index.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City income taxes, consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal market conditions, we seek to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of New York municipal securities that are investment grade at the time of purchase. The Fund is designed for investors who are residents of New York for New York tax purposes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in investment grade securities at the time of purchase. Investment grade securities are rated BBB or higher by S&P or Baa or higher by Moody’s or an equivalent rating by another agency or unrated securities which we have
determined to be of comparable quality. However, the Fund may not invest more than 20% of its total assets in unrated investment grade securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities with below-investment grade credit quality at the time of purchase. Lower-grade securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds and involve greater risks than investments in higher grade securities. The Fund does not purchase municipal securities that are in default or rated in categories lower than B– by S&P or B3 by Moody’s or unrated securities of comparable quality. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in municipal securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. From time to time, the Fund temporarily may invest up to 10% of its total assets in
tax exempt money market funds and such instruments will be treated as investments in municipal securities. Investments in other mutual funds may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses.
The Fund may purchase and sell options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and interest rate swaps or other interest rate-related transactions, which are derivative instruments, for various portfolio management purposes, including to earn income, to facilitate portfolio management and to mitigate risks.
We may sell securities based on factors such as degradation in credit quality, a decision to shorten or lengthen the Fund’s duration, or reducing exposure to a particular sector or issuer.
Market conditions and your Fund
Market conditions during the reporting period were influenced by two broad themes: private sector recovery and concerns over sovereign creditworthiness. In the U.S. and most of the developed world, a gradual and somewhat lackluster recovery continued, with central banks keeping interest rates at low levels and with few of them withdrawing their quantitative easing measures. This helped private sector companies improve their balance sheets and earnings following the global financial crisis that began to dissipate in early 2009. Recently, however, investor skepticism of global governments’ abilities to retire huge amounts of debt without affecting economic growth rates caused sovereign debt distress (especially for Greece and other southern eurozone countries) and became a focal point of investor concern in the first half of 2010.
In the U.S., economic recovery was present, although uneven and possibly slowing, as stubbornly high unemploy-

ment continued to weigh on the U.S. economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S. economic activity, increased at an annual rate of 1.7% in the second quarter of 2010.1 In the first quarter, real GDP increased 3.7%.1 The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained a very accommodative monetary policy throughout the period, with the federal funds target rate unchanged in its range of zero to 0.25%.2 The Fed recently described its view of the U.S. economy: “Financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth on balance, largely reflecting developments abroad.”2 As such, it was widely expected that the Fed would continue to keep rates low for an extended period.
Sector performance was driven by quality spread tightening largely as a result of continued flows into the municipal market combined with less tax-exempt issuance. As a result, BBB-rated and lower credit quality sectors outperformed. Fund flows continued to remain strong after an impressive 2009. In addition, year-to-date issuance through the reporting period is about 2.2% ahead of last year’s pace, at $293.2 billion versus $286.9 billion.3
However, approximately 30% of supply since the beginning of the year was in the form of taxable municipal bonds.3
Historically, the state of New York has benefited from its broad-based and wealthy economy. However, the economic slowdown and concerns on Wall Street, as well as the volatility in the financial markets posed challenges for the state and its financial position. Like many states, New York is currently looking for solutions to compensate for declines in revenues, particularly falling personal income taxes.
The Fund generated positive absolute and relative returns for the reporting period. In terms of the yield curve strategy, security selection in the long-end of the curve, as well as in the 12- to 20-year maturity range, contributed to returns.
As discussed earlier, during the reporting period lower rated tax-exempt bonds experienced greater price increases relative to higher quality issues. An overweight exposure and security selection in BBB- and non-rated bonds was a positive for relative and absolute Fund returns.
At the sector level, security selection in dedicated tax bonds contributed to returns. Overweight exposure and security selection in education and industrial revenue bonds/pollution control revenue bonds also enhanced Fund performance for the reporting period.
Our overweight exposure and security selection in tobacco bonds slightly detracted from relative performance during the period.
We may use inverse floating rate securities in Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund to help manage duration, yield curve exposure and credit exposure and to potentially enhance yield. Over the reporting period, the exposure to inverse floating rate securities contributed to Fund returns.

Your Fund’s Long-Term Performance
Results of a $10,000 Investment – Oldest Share Classes since Inception
Fund data from 7/29/94, index data from 7/31/94
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
The data shown in the chart include reinvested distributions, applicable sales charges and Fund expenses including management fees. Results for Class B shares are calculated as if a hypothetical shareholder had liquidated his entire investment in the Fund at the close of the reporting period and paid the applicable contingent deferred sales charges. Index results include reinvested dividends, but they do not reflect sales charges.
Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance of a market index does not. Performance shown in the chart and table(s) does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the predecessor fund advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund. Returns shown above for Class A, Class B and Class C shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Class Y shares incepted on June 1, 2010. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares. Class A shares performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated.
Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares was 0.80%, 1.55%, 1.55% and 0.55%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares was 1.05%, 1.80%, 1.80% and 0.80%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.75% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. For shares purchased prior to June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 4% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. For shares purchased on or after June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% at the time of purchase to 0%
at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rate. They do not reflect the effect of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares in tax-deferred accounts such as 401(k)s or IRAs. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, performance would have been lower.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
n | | The yields of municipal securities, or of insured municipal securities, may move differently and adversely compared to the yields of the overall debt securities markets. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. There could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities. |
|
n | | The Fund may invest a greater portion of its assets in a more limited number of issuers than a diversified fund and may be subject to greater risk than a diversified fund because changes in the financial condition or market assessment of a single issuer may cause greater fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s shares. |
|
n | | Because the Fund invests substantially all of its assets in a portfolio of New York municipal securities, the Fund is more susceptible to political, economic, regulatory or other factors affecting the city and state of New York municipal securities than a fund that does not limit its investments to such issuers. |
|
n | | Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset |
| | gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. |
|
n | | Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. Securities rated BBB by S&P or Baa by Moody’s are in the lowest of the four investment grades and are considered by the rating agencies to be medium-grade obligations which possess speculative characteristics so that changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the issuer to make principal and interest payments than in the case of higher-rated securities. The credit quality of noninvestment grade securities is considered speculative by recognized rating agencies with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to pay interest and principal. Lower-grade securities (also sometimes known as junk bonds) may have less liquidity and a higher incidence of default than higher-grade securities. The Fund may incur higher expenditures to protect the Fund’s interests in such securities. The credit risks and market prices of lower-grade securities generally are more sensitive to negative issuer developments or adverse economic conditions than are higher-grade securities. |
|
n | | The income you receive from the Fund is based primarily on prevailing interest rates, which can vary widely over the short-and long-term. If interest rates drop, your income from the Fund may drop as well. |
|
n | | If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of securities with high interest rates will prepay or call their securities before their maturity dates. In this event, the proceeds from the called securities would likely be reinvested by the Fund in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in the Fund’s income and distributions to shareholders. |
|
n | | Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Investments in debt securities generally are affected |
| | by changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. The prices of debt securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among debt securities with longer maturities. |

The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eleven separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest.

Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen New York Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Tax Free Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010, (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
19 Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares received Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, of the Fund.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City income taxes, consistent with preservation of capital.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.
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. |
| | Securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. 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, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and principal payments. |
| | Securities for which market quotations either are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition; trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news; and other relevant factors under the circumstances. |
| | Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. |
B. | | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser. |
| | The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on 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 necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable and tax-exempt 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. |
| | In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders “exempt-interest dividends”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. |
| | 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. Prior to the Reorganization, incremental transfer agency fees which are unique to each class of shares of the Acquired Fund were charged to the operations of such class. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | | Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis — The Fund may purchase and sell interests in 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. | | Other Risks — The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. |
| | Since many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and a Fund’s investments in municipal securities. |
| | There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service. |
K. | | Floating Rate Obligations Related to Securities Held — The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to Special Purpose Trusts established by a broker dealer (“Dealer Trusts”) fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interests in the Dealer Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The Dealer Trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interest in the bonds. The Fund may enter into shortfall agreements with the Dealer Trusts which commit the Fund to pay the Dealer Trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the Dealer Trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the Dealer Trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the Dealer Trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Dealer Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating rate note and dealer trust obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate obligations and any administrative expenses of the Dealer Trusts under the caption “Interest, line of credit and residual trust expenses” on the Statement of Operations. The floating rate notes issued by the Dealer Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the Dealer Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the year ended September 30, 2010 were $3,270,000 and 0.90%, respectively. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $500 million | | | 0 | .470% |
|
Over $500 million | | | 0 | .445% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $314,479 to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares
21 Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
to 0.78%, 1.53%, 1.53% and 0.53% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. The Adviser waived $84,182 of fees and/or reimbursed expenses during the period under this limitation.
Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen voluntarily waived $167,276 of fees and/or reimbursed expenses of the Acquired Fund.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and chief compliance officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments Inc. (“VKII”) provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $14,009 to VKII. For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
Prior to the Reorganization, under a legal services agreement, VKII provided legal services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, the Acquired Fund paid $15,088 to VKII.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. 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 are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended September 30, 2010, IIS was paid $15,776 for providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $17,730 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares to compensate IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets.
With respect to Class B and Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class B and Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc. (“VKFI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $291,832 to VKFI.
For the year ended September 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. For the period June 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $3,228 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $2,063, $2,922 and $1,138 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Prior to the Reorganization, VKFI retained $14,586 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $9,998, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
22 Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
For the period ended September 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $0 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund recognized expense of $6,229 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a director of the Acquired Fund was a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provided legal services as legal counsel to the Acquired Fund.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 26,383 | | | $ | 1,046 | |
|
Ordinary income — tax exempt | | | 4,453,444 | | | | 4,752,989 | |
|
Total distributions | | $ | 4,479,827 | | | $ | 4,754,035 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed tax exempt income | | $ | 86,141 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 3,275,205 | |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (5,329,654 | ) |
|
Post-October capital loss deferral | | | (46,507 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 104,691,446 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 102,676,631 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to bond premium and inverse floater adjustments.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
23 Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
The Fund utilized $0 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of September 30, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
September 30, 2017 | | $ | 1,814,155 | |
|
September 30, 2018 | | | 3,515,499 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 5,329,654 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended September 30, 2010 was $18,765,592 and $19,743,052, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 6,300,238 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (3,025,033 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 3,275,205 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $100,982,514. |
NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of tax accretion, on September 30, 2010, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $14,477 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $14,477. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

24 Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Effective November 30, 2010, all Invesco funds will be closing their Class B shares. Shareholders with investments in Class B shares may continue to hold such shares until they convert to Class A shares, but no additional investments will be accepted in Class B shares on or after November 30, 2010. Any dividends or capital gains distributions may continue to be reinvested in Class B shares until conversion. Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering such shares until they convert.
NOTE 10—Purposes and Risks Relating to Certain Financial Instruments
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Fund in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust and the Fund is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.
In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Fund, the Fund will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Fund could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.
The Fund may also invest in private placement securities. TOBs are presently classified as private placement securities. Private placement securities are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or are otherwise not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.
NOTE 11—Borrowings
During the period ended September 30, 2010, the Acquired Fund entered into a $150,000,000 joint revolving bank credit facility. The Fund terminated its participation in the facility on May 31, 2010.
NOTE 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Note 13—Subsequent Event
Following a number of meetings in September and October, 2010, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would acquire all of the assets and liabilities of Invesco New York Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Target Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Target Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund (formerly known as Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated November 20, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. With the exception of the actual ending account value and expenses of the Class Y shares, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period April 1, 2010, through September 30, 2010. The actual ending account value and expenses of the Class Y shares in the example below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business June 1, 2010 (commencement date) and held through September 30, 2010.
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 (as of close of business June 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010 for the Class Y shares). Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period for the Class Y shares, the ending account value and expense information may not provide a meaningful comparison to mutual funds that provide such information for a full six month period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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 183/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Because the Class Y shares have not been in existence for a full six month period, the actual ending account value and expense information shown may not provide a meaningful comparison to fund expense information of classes that show such data for a full six month period and, because the actual ending account value and expense information in the expense example covers a short time period, return and expense data may not be indicative of return and expense data for longer time periods. |
3 | Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 to reflect a one-half year period. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing in Class Y shares of the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period. |

| Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-advisory Agreements |
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco New York Tax-Free Income Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Morgan Stanley retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will 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 to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also 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 all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these
28 Invesco Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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