Philip Taylor
Dear Shareholders:
Enclosed is important information about your Fund and its performance.
I’ve always believed that companies have an obligation to communicate regularly with their clients, and I believe that obligation is especially critical in the investment industry.
Our website — invesco.com/us — offers timely market updates and commentary from many of our portfolio managers and other investment professionals, as well as quarterly messages from me. At invesco.com/us, you also can obtain information about your account at any hour of the day or night. I invite you to visit and explore the tools and information we offer.
Invesco’s commitment to investment excellence
Invesco’s acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments, broadened our range of investment products available to you. As a strong organization with a single focus — investment management — Invesco today offers investment capabilities and products to meet the needs of virtually any investor. In addition to traditional mutual funds, we manage a broad range of other solutions, including single-country, regional and global investments spanning major equity, fixed income and alternative asset classes.
Investment excellence is our goal across our product line. Let me explain what that means. All of our funds are managed by specialized teams of investment professionals. Each team has a discrete investment perspective and philosophy, and all follow disciplined, repeatable processes governed by strong risk oversight. Our investment-centric culture provides an environment that seeks to reduce distractions, allowing our fund managers to concentrate on what they do best — manage your money.
The importance of a broad product line and investment management expertise is obvious given the markets we’ve experienced over the last two to three years. We’ve seen that investment strategies can outperform or underperform their benchmark indexes for a variety of reasons, including where we are in the market cycle, and whether prevailing economic conditions are favorable or unfavorable for that strategy. That’s why no investment strategy can guarantee top-tier performance at all times. What investors can expect, and what Invesco offers, are funds that are managed according to their stated investment objectives and strategies, with robust risk oversight using consistent, repeatable investment processes that don’t change as short-term external conditions change — investments managed for the long term. This disciplined approach can’t guarantee a profit; no investment can do that, since all involve some measure of risk. But it can ensure that your money is managed the way we said it would be.
This adherence to stated investment objectives and strategies allows your financial adviser to build a diversified portfolio that meets your individual risk tolerance and financial goals. It also means that when your goals change, your financial adviser will be able to find an appropriate investment option to meet your needs.
Invesco’s commitment to you
Invesco’s commitment to you remains stronger than ever. It’s one of the reasons we’ve grown to become one of the world’s largest asset managers.
If you have questions about your account, please contact one of our client service representatives at 800 959 4246. If you have a general Invesco-related question or comment for me, I invite you to email me directly at phil@invesco.com.
I want to thank you for placing your trust in us. All of us at Invesco look forward to serving your investment management needs for many years to come. Thank you for investing with us.
Sincerely,
Philip Taylor
Senior Managing Director, Invesco Ltd.

Bruce Crockett
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
With 2010 behind us, now is a good time to review our portfolios and ensure that we are adhering to a long-term, diversified investment strategy, which I’ve mentioned in previous letters. The year was notable for a number of reasons, but I’m sure most of us are grateful for a return to more stable markets and growing signs that the worst of the economic crisis is behind us.
Your Board continued to oversee the Invesco Funds with a strong sense of responsibility for your savings and a deep appreciation for your continued trust. As always, we worked throughout 2010 to manage costs and ensure Invesco continued to place investor interests first.
I’m pleased to report that the latest report from Morningstar affirmed the work we’ve done and included a number of positive comments regarding your Board’s oversight of the Invesco Funds. As background, Morningstar is a leading independent provider of investment research in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. Morningstar stated, “A fund board’s duty is to represent the interests of fund shareholders, ensuring that the funds that it oversees charge reasonable fees and are run by capable advisers with a sound investment process.”
Morningstar maintained your Fund Board’s “A” grade for Board Quality, praising the Board for taking “meaningful steps in recent years to act in fund shareholders’ interests.”1 These steps included becoming much more proactive and vocal in overseeing how Invesco votes the funds’ shareholders’ proxies and requiring each fund trustee to invest more than one year’s board compensation in Invesco funds, further aligning our interests with those of our shareholders. Morningstar also cited the work I’ve done to make myself more available to fund shareholders via email.
I am also pleased that Morningstar recognized the effort and the Fund Board’s efforts over the past several years to work together with management at Invesco to enhance performance and sharpen the focus on investors.
Let me close by wishing you a happy and prosperous new year. As always, you’re welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you have. We look forward to representing you and serving you in the new year.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair
Invesco Funds Board of Trustees

1 | | Among the criteria Morningstar considers when evaluating a fund board are the degree to which the board is independent of the fund company; board members’ financial interests are aligned with those of fund shareholders; the board acts in fund shareholders’ interests; and the board works constructively with company management and investment personnel. Morningstar first awarded an “A” rating to the Invesco Funds board on September 13, 2007; that rating has been maintained in subsequent reports, the most recent of which was released December 17, 2010. Ratings are subject to change, usually every 12 to 24 months. Morningstar ratings range from “A” to “F.” |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, all share classes of Invesco Tax-Exempt Securities Fund, at net asset value, posted positive returns, but underperformed the Fund’s broad market benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Index. The Fund’s overweight sector allocations in the health care, utility and transportation sectors, as well as a significant underweight exposure to bonds with 20+ year maturities, were the main detrators from this relative performance.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of interest income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities that pay interest exempt from federal income taxes. We generally invest the Fund’s assets in municipal obligations, which are bonds, notes or short-term commercial paper issued by state governments, local governments and/or their respective agencies. These municipal obligations will have the following ratings at the time of purchase:
n | | municipal bonds — within the four highest grades by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch |
|
n | | municipal notes — within the two highest grades or, if not rated, have outstanding bonds within the three highest grades by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch |
|
n | | municipal commercial paper — within the highest grade by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch |
The Fund may also invest in unrated securities, which we judge to have comparable quality to the securities described above. Additionally, the Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in
municipal obligations rated below investment grade (commonly known as junk bonds), or if unrated, of comparable quality, as per our internal ratings.
The Fund buys and sells municipal securities with a view toward seeking a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes. In selecting securities for purchase and sale, we use our extensive research capabilities to identify and monitor investment opportunities. In conducting research and analysis, we consider a number of factors, including general market and economic conditions, as well as credit and interest rate risk.
Portfolio securities are typically sold when we believe any of these factors materially change. Measures of interest rate risk that we consider include duration, coupon, maturity and call protection. Measures of credit risk we consider include individual issuer analysis, sector weightings, geographic distribution and quality spreads. Sell decisions are based on:
n | | A deterioration or likely deterioration of an individual issuer’s capacity to meet its debt obligations on a timely basis. |
|
n | | A deterioration or likely deterioration of the broader fundamentals of a particular industry or sector. |
n | | Opportunities in the secondary or primary market to purchase a security with better relative value. |
The Fund may invest in inverse floating rate municipal obligations. The interest rates on these obligations generally move in the reverse direction of market interest rates. If market interest rates fall, the interest rate on the obligations will increase, and if market interest rates increase, the interest rate on the obligations will fall.
Market conditions and your Fund
Market conditions during the 12-month period covered by 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 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 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 2.6% in the third quarter of 2010.1 In the second quarter, real GDP increased at an annual rate of 1.7% .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 described its view of the U.S. economy by stating:

4 Invesco Tax-Exempt Securities Fund
“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.
Municipal fund flows remained strong after an impressive 2009. In addition, 2010 municipal issuance during the reporting period was about 5.4% ahead of last year’s pace, increasing to $431.9 billion from $409.7 billion.3 However, approximately 30% of supply during 2010 was in the form of taxable municipals, which further supported tax-exempt municipal bond prices by decreasing their relative supply.3
Sector performance was driven by quality spread tightening, largely a result of continued flows into the municipal market combined with less tax-exempt issuance. Our overweight allocation coupled with our strong security selection of BBB-rated and non-rated bonds contributed to returns for the period.
The Fund’s long duration profile (about half of its holdings have a maturity of 15+ years) was a contributor as yields declined during most of the reporting period. Some of our yield curve and duration positioning was obtained through the use of inverse floating rate securities, which are instruments that have an inverse relationship to a referenced interest rate. These securities can be a more efficient way to manage duration, yield curve exposure and credit exposure. They also can potentially enhance yield. Over the period, the Fund’s exposure to inverse floaters contributed positively to returns.
Our strong security selection and overweight allocations to the life care and hospital sub-sectors, significantly contributed to returns. Overweight allocations in the utility and transportation sectors also contributed positively to performance. However, our underweight exposure within the tax-supported sector, specifically the state government obligation bonds (GO) and local GO sub sectors, significantly detracted from returns for the reporting period.
Our exposure to tobacco master settlement agreement bonds contributed positively to relative performance during the period.
In the final month of the Fund’s fiscal year, market volatility increased significantly across the municipal asset class for a number of reasons. The Bush federal income tax cuts were extended for another two years, which may have diminished investors’ appetite for tax-free bonds. Furthermore, the government announced that the Build America Bond (BAB) program will not continue in 2011. The success of the BAB program in 2009 and 2010 reduced supply and created a scarcity premium within the tax-exempt municipal market. The influx of new issues by states and municipalities also caused U.S. Treasury yields to increase, amplifying market volatility.
Thank you for investing in Invesco Tax-Exempt Securities Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

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 Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. were reorganized into Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of Invesco Tax-Exempt Securities Fund. Returns shown above for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Tax-Exempt Securities 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 0.86%, 1.21%, 1.31% and 0.61%, 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.

Invesco Tax-Exempt Securities Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
n | | Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable to make interest payments and/or repay the principal on its debt. In the case of revenue bonds, notes or commercial paper, for example, the credit risk is the possibility that the user fees from a project or other specified revenue sources are insufficient to meet interest and/or principal payment obligations. The issuers of private activity bonds, used to finance such projects as industrial development and pollution control, also may be negatively impacted by the general credit of the user of the project. |
|
n | | Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a fixed-income security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up. Zero coupon securities are typically subject to greater price fluctuations than comparable securities that pay current interest. |
|
n | | Lease obligations may have risks not normally associated with general obligation or other revenue bonds. Certain lease obligations contain ‘non-appropriation’ clauses that provide that the governmental issuer has no obligation to make future |
| | payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for that purpose by the appropriate legislative body on an annual or other periodic basis. Consequently, continued lease payments on those lease obligations containing non-appropriation clauses are dependent on future legislative actions. If these legislative actions do not occur, the holders of the lease obligation may experience difficulty in exercising their rights, including disposition of the property. |
|
n | | The issuers of private activity bonds, in which the Fund may invest, may be negatively impacted by conditions affecting either the general credit of the user of the private activity project or the project itself. Conditions such as regulatory and environmental restrictions and economic downturns may lower the need for these facilities and the ability of users of the project to pay for the facilities. This could cause a decline in the Fund’s value. The Fund’s private activity bond holdings also may pay interest subject to the alternative minimum tax. |
|
n | | The inverse floating rate municipal obligations 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 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 bond held by the special purpose trust and the Fund is paid the residual cash flow from the bond held by the special purpose trust. |

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Tax-Exempt Securities Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco 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.
The Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Tax-Exempt Securities Trust (the “Acquired Fund”). 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 a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with the 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 C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Effective November 30, 2010, new or additional investments in Class B shares are no longer permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in Class B shares until they convert. 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. 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. Redemption of Class B shares prior to conversion date will be subject to a CDSC.
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. |
20 Invesco Tax-Exempt Securities 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, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized gains (losses) on securities per share in the 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 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. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |

| | |
I. | | Other Risks — The 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. |
J. | | Inverse Floating Rate Obligations — The Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities, such as Residual Interest Bonds (“RIBs”) or Tender Option Bonds (“TOBs”) for investment purposes and to enhance the yield of the Fund. 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. Such transactions may be purchased in the secondary market without first owning the underlying bond or by the sale of fixed rate bonds by the Fund to Special Purpose Trusts established by a broker dealer (“Dealer Trusts”) in exchange for cash and residual interests in the Dealer Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate obligations. The Dealer Trusts finance 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 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 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. |
| | 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. |
| | 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 expense on the Statement of Operations. |
| | The Fund generally invest in inverse floating rate obligations that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The primary risks associated with inverse floating rate obligations are varying degrees of liquidity and the changes in the value of such securities in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of 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. |
K. | | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $500 million | | | 0 | .42% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .345% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .295% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .27% |
|
Next $1.25 billion | | | 0 | .245% |
|
Over $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .22% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $1,231,832 to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors, Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Y shares to 0.83%, 1.18%, 1.28% and 0.58%, 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 and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, MSIA and the Adviser waived advisory fees of $3,638 and $0, respectively.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
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 $184,499 to Morgan Stanley Trust, which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master 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 $249,962 to Morgan Stanley Services Company, Inc. For the year ended December 31, 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.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will reimburse IDI for distribution related expenses that IDI incurs up to a maximum of the following annual rates; (1) Class A — up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares; (2) Class B — up to 0.60% of the average daily net assets of Class B shares and (3) Class C — up to 0.70% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In the case of Class B shares, provided that the Plan continues in effect, any cumulative expenses incurred by IDI, but not yet reimbursed to IDI may be recovered through the payment of future distribution fees from the Fund pursuant to the Plan and contingent deferred sales charges paid by investors upon redemption of Class B shares.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. (“MSDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $321,528 to MSDI.
For the year ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $3,271 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $3, $7,472 and $2,327 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. For the period January 1, 2010 to May 31, 2010 the MSDI retained $8,842 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $115, $5,886 and $2,398 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, 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 following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

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

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $144.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,099 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.

NOTE 7—Cash Balances and Borrowings
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 Trust 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.
Inverse floating rate obligations resulting form the transfer of bonds to Dealer Trusts are accounted for as secured borrowings. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fees related to inverse floating rate note obligations during the year ended December 31, 2010 were $46,695,000 and 0.89%, respectively.
NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 202,079 | | | $ | — | |
|
Ordinary income-tax exempt | | | 34,282,310 | | | | 36,776,663 | |
|
Total distributions | | $ | 34,484,389 | | | $ | 36,776,663 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 471,916 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 584,293 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (103,881 | ) |
|
Post-October deferrals | | | (612,533 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (23,147,128 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 707,124,278 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 684,316,945 | |
|
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 bond premium amortization and recognition of realized gain (loss) on tender option bonds..
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
October 31, 2017 | | $ | 17,917,616 | |
|
October 31, 2018 | | | 5,229,512 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 23,147,128 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 9—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $52,236,701 and $113,986,231, 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 | | $ | 34,197,378 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (33,613,085 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 584,293 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $727,022,740. |
25 Invesco Tax-Exempt Securities Fund
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of paydowns and market discounts on bonds on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $6,920, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $7,266 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $346. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 13—Significant Event
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco Van Kampen 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 14—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
27 Invesco Tax-Exempt Securities 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 Tax-Exempt Securities Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Tax-Exempt Securities Fund (formerly known as Morgan Stanley Tax-Exempt Securities Trust, one of the funds constituting AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 25, 2010 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

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