The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return, NAV and market price will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Please visit invesco.com/us for the most recent

performance. Performance figures reflect Trust expenses, the reinvestment of distributions (if any) and changes in NAV for performance based on NAV and changes in market price for performance based on market price. Since the Trust is a
closed-end
management investment company, shares of the Trust may trade at a discount or premium from the NAV. This characteristic is separate and distinct from the risk that NAV could decrease as a result of investment activities and may be a greater risk to investors expecting to sell their shares after a short time. The Trust cannot predict whether shares will trade at, above or below NAV. The Trust should not be viewed as a vehicle for trading purposes. It is designed primarily for risk-tolerant long-term investors. |

indexes posted modest gains. Inflationary trends persisted and global economies were at different stages of taming inflation with central banks reacting to their respective economies by cutting rates when deemed most appropriate. The US Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained its current level of interest rates, however, their views began to shift to a more dovish monetary policy indicating that the upcoming months would likely be a time of significant central bank divergence with potential for second-half interest rate cuts. Yields continued to see volatility driven by the changing market expectations around the Fed.
With broad economic data improving, the Fed reduced the federal funds rate by 0.50% in September, its first cut since 2020, which signaled the end of the current rate hiking cycle. Followed by two additional 0.25% cuts in November and December, the target federal funds rate ended the fiscal year at 4.25% - 4.50%.
The yield curve, measured
Treasuries, normalized during the third quarter after inverting in 2023 and 2024.

The Trust had an over-weight allocation to financial institutions and strong security selection in the real-estate investment trusts (REITs) subsector, relative to the style-specific benchmark, which also contributed positively.

rate cuts in 2025. The asset class has seen strong inflows with modest net new issuance and we expect mergers and acquisitions along with leveraged buyouts to be primarily financed by the private credit and bank loan markets which will underpin the technical environment for high yield. Although we believe high yield spreads are justified by the fundamental backdrop, the opportunity within lower quality issues is less attractive

Premium: If the Trust is trading at a premium - a market price that is higher than its NAV - you'll pay either the NAV or 95 percent of

(i)
|
Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with any accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years.
|
|
(j)
|
Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the 1933 Act and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Trust's portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), on set dates, typically every 30 days, but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated

Security Valuations
- Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a trust may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.

net asset value per share.
banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
rights and warrants shall be valued at intrinsic value if the terms of the rights and warrants are available, specifically the subscription or exercise price and the ratio. Intrinsic value is calculated as the daily market closing price of the security to be received less the subscription price, which is then adjusted by the exercise ratio. In the case of warrants, an option pricing model supplied by an independent pricing service may be used based on market data such as volatility, stock price and interest rate from the independent pricing service and strike price and exercise period from verified terms.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income
- Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind
interest income and non-cash
dividend income received in the form of securities in lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. |

|
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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer's securities and its "country of risk" as determined by a third party service provider, 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 |

|
E.
|
Federal Income Taxes
- The Trust intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code") necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Trust's taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Trust 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. |
|
F.
|
Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees
- Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees, administrative expenses, negative or overdrawn balances on margin accounts and other expenses associated with establishing and maintaining a line of credit. |
|
G.
|
Accounting Estimates
- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in period-end
date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
|

|
Indemnifications
- Under the Trust's organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts, including the Trust's servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |

forwards).
|
N.
|
Futures Contracts
- The Trust may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Trust currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying instrument or asset. 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 Trust recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Trust'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 Trust were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Trust 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. |
|
O.
|
Swap Agreements
- The Trust may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts ("CDS") for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter
("OTC") between two parties ("uncleared/ OTC") or, in some instances, must be transacted through a future commission merchant ("FCM") and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central Counterparty ("centrally cleared swap"). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Trust to maintain a pre-determined
level of net assets, and/ or provide limits regarding the decline of the Trust's net asset value ("NAV") per share over specific periods of time. If the Trust were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or "swapped" between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the retuon or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or retuof an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a "basket" of securities representing a particular index.

P.
|
- Although the resale, or secondary market for floating rate loans has grown substantially over the past decade, both in overall size and number of market participants, there is no organized exchange or board of trade on which floating rate loans are traded. Instead, the secondary market for floating rate loans is a private, unregulated interdealer or interbank resale market. Such a market may therefore be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, and extended trade settlement periods, which may impair the Trust's ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Trust. As a result, the Trust may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. Similar to other asset classes, bank loan funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Trust has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Trust seeks to manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. |
|
Q.
|
Leverage Risk
- The Trust utilizes leverage to seek to enhance the yield of the Trust by borrowing. There are risks associated with borrowing in an effort to increase the yield and distributions on the shares, including that the costs of the financial leverage may exceed the income from investments purchased with such leverage proceeds, the higher volatility of the net asset value of the shares, and that fluctuations in the interest rates on the borrowing may affect the yield and distributions to the shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Trust's leverage strategy will be successful. |
|
R.
|
Collateral
- To the extent the Trust has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Trust's practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
|
S.
|
Other Risks
- Investments in high yield debt securities ("junk bonds") and other lower-rated securities will subject the Trust to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer's ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. |

| 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. When market movements occur after the close of the relevant foreign securities markets, foreign securities may be fair valued utilizing an independent pricing service. |
| 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 Adviser's 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. |

Cumulative Total Retuwith the Fund's Cumulative Distribution Rate and the Average Annual Total Retuwith the Fund's Current Annualized Distribution Rate. The Fund's NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding. NAV performance may be indicative of a Fund's investment performance. The value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund's shares in the open market.

Lower-grade securities are commonly referred to as "junk bonds." No limitation exists as to the rating category in which the Trust may invest. If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the lowest rating assigned.

investment policy of maintaining a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of up to
Fixed-income securities in which the Trust may invest include convertible securities, which are securities that generally pay interest and may be converted into common stock. In selecting convertible securities for the Trust, the following factors, among others, will be considered by the Adviser: (1) the Adviser's own evaluations of the creditworthiness of the issuers of the securities; (2) the interest or dividend income generated by the securities; (3) the potential for capital appreciation of the securities and the underlying common stock; (4) the prices of the securities relative to the underlying common stocks; (5) the prices of the securities relative to other comparable securities; (6) whether the securities are entitled to the benefits of sinking funds or other protective conditions; (7) diversification of the Trust's portfolio as to issuers and industries; and (8) whether the securities are rated by Moody's and/or S&P and, if so, the ratings assigned.
Fixed-income securities also include zero coupon securities issued by corporations and other private entities. The Trust is permitted to invest up to 10% of its total assets in zero coupon securities. Zero coupon securities are debt securities that do not entitle the holder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturity or a specified date when the securities begin paying current interest.
Consistent with the Trust's strategy of investing in income securities, the Trust may invest up to 20% of its total assets in fixed and floating rate loans. Loans are typically arranged through private negotiations between the borrower and one or more lenders. Loans generally have a more senior claim in the borrower's capital structure relative to corporate bonds or other subordinated debt. The loans in which the Trust invests are generally in the form of loan assignments and participations of all or a portion of a loan from another lender. In the case of an assignment, the Trust acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan, however, the Trust's rights and obligations as the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning lender. In the case of a participation, the Trust typically has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower. In the event of insolvency of the lender selling the participation, the Trust may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any setoff between the lender and the borrower.

The Trust may invest up to 20% of its total assets in fixed-income securities that are not readily marketable. No security that is not readily marketable will be acquired unless the Adviser believes such security to be of comparable quality to publicly-traded securities in which the Trust may invest. Certain fixed-income securities are somewhat liquid and may become more liquid as secondary markets for these securities continue to develop. These securities will be included in, or excluded from, the 20% limitation on a
basis by the Adviser depending on the perceived liquidity of the security and market involved.
The Trust may invest in Rule 144A securities and other types of exempt securities, which are not registered for sale pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Trust may invest a portion or all of its total assets in securities issued by foreign governments or foreign corporations; provided, however, that the Trust may not invest more than 30% of its total assets in
dollar denominated securities. The same quality levels currently permitted by the Trust for all investments, will apply to foreign investments. The Trust may invest in securities of issuers determined by the Adviser to be in developing or emerging market countries.
The Trust can invest in derivative instruments, including swap contracts (including credit default swaps, total retuswaps, interest rate swaps and volatility swaps), options (including interest rate options, credit default swap options and swaptions), futures contracts (including interest rate futures) and forward foreign currency contracts. The Trust can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge or adjust its exposure to interest rates, and credit default swaps to create long or short exposure to corporate or sovereign debt securities. The Trust can further use total retuswaps to gain exposure to a reference asset and volatility swaps to adjust the volatility profile of the Trust. The Trust can use options, including credit default swap options, to gain the right to enter into a credit default swap at a specified future date and swaptions (options on swaps) to manage interest rate risk. The Trust can also use options on bond or interest rate futures contracts to increase or reduce its exposure to interest rate changes. The Trust can engage in forward foreign currency contracts, currency futures and currency options to mitigate the risk of foreign currency exposure.
The Trust may also invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs).
The Trust may also invest in exchange-traded funds.
The Trust currently utilizes leverage in the form of borrowings in an effort to maximize returns. The amount of borrowings outstanding from time to time may vary, depending on the Adviser's analysis of market conditions and interest rate movements.
To the extent permitted by applicable law and the Trust's investment
The Trust may invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Trust's principal investment strategies for temporary defensive purposes in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, or other atypical circumstances. As a result, the Trust may not achieve its investment objective.
In selecting securities for the Trust's portfolio, the Adviser focuses on securities that it believes have favorable prospects for high current income and the possibility of growth of capital. The Adviser conducts a
fundamental analysis of an issuer before its securities are purchased by the Trust. The fundamental analysis involves an evaluation by a team of credit analysts of an issuer's financial statements in order to assess its financial condition. The credit analysts also assess the ability of an issuer to reduce its leverage (i.e., the amount of borrowed debt). The credit research process utilized by the Trust to implement its investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective considers factors that may include, but are not limited to, an issuer's operations, capital structure and environmental, social and governance ("ESG") considerations. Credit quality analysis for certain issuers therefore may consider whether any ESG factors pose a material financial risk or opportunity to an issuer. The Adviser may determine that ESG considerations are not material to certain issuers or types of investments held by the Trust and not all issuers or investments in the Trust may undergo a credit quality analysis that considers ESG factors, and not all investments held by the Trust will rate strongly on ESG criteria. The
fundamental analysis is supplemented by an ongoing review of the securities' relative value compared with other similar rated bonds, and a
analysis of sector and macro-economic trends, such as changes in interest rates. The portfolio managers attempt to control the Trust's risk by limiting the portfolio's assets that are invested in any one security, and by diversifying the portfolio's holdings over a number of different industries.
The market values of the Trust's investments, and therefore the value of the Trust's shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Trust's investments may go up or down due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Trust's investments may also go up or down due to factors that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, economic crisis or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Trust's investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Trust's investment strategy. During a general downtuin the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Trust will rise in value.
As a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region, for example the current conflicts between
The Trust's investments in high yield debt securities (commonly referred to as junk bonds) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Trust to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer's ability to pay interest and principal when due and are more susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic, regulatory, political or company developments than higher rated or investment grade securities. Prices of high yield

The prices of debt securities held by the Trust will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Trust to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Trust's distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Trust will decline. The Trust could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an issuer seeks to restructure the terms of its borrowings or the Trust is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of interest or the repayment of principal, the Trust may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer's financial strength, the market's perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The credit analysis applied to the Trust's debt securities may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, and to reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Trust's investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies and other governmental actions and political events within the
The issuers of instruments in which the Trust invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Trust invests in junk bonds, which may cause the Trust to incur higher expenses to protect its interests. The credit risks and market prices of lower-grade securities generally are more sensitive to
Interest rate risk is the risk that rising interest rates, or an expectation of rising interest rates in the near future, will cause the values of the Trust's investments to decline. The values of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates rise, the decrease in values of outstanding debt securities may not be offset by higher income from new investments. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the Trust's investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Trust's income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change; thus, interest rate risk is usually greater for securities with longer maturities or durations. "Zero-coupon" or "stripped" securities may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes.
Shares of
investment companies like the Trust frequently trade at prices lower than their net asset value. Because the market price of the Trust's common shares is determined by factors such as relative market supply and demand, general market and economic circumstances, and other factors beyond the control of the Trust, the Trust cannot predict whether its shares of common stock will trade at, below or above net asset value. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Trust's net asset value could decrease as a result of investment activities. Common shareholders bear a risk of loss to the extent that the price at which they sell their shares is lower than at the time of purchase.
The income you receive from the Trust is based primarily on prevailing interest rates, which can vary widely over the short and long term. If interest rates decrease, your income from the Trust may decrease as well.
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 Trust in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in the Trust's income and distributions to shareholders.
The market value of a convertible security performs like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of the issuer's creditworthiness. Convertible securities can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. Some convertible debt securities may be considered "equity equivalents" because of the feature that makes them convertible into common stock. Since a convertible security derives a portion of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. These convertible securities are subject to an increased risk of loss and are generally subordinate in rank to other debt obligations of the issuer. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade, and therefore considered to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Trust the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Trust sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Trust's returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Trust may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Trust may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Trust's ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.

The volatility of futures contracts prices has been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures contract for each trading session. The Trust may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible price movement.
If the Trust sells a put option, there is a risk that the Trust may be required to buy the underlying investment at a disadvantageous price. If the Trust sells a call option, there is a risk that the Trust may be required to sell the underlying investment at a disadvantageous price. If the Trust sells a call option on an investment that the Trust owns (a "covered call") and the investment has increased in value when the option is exercised, the Trust will be required to sell the investment at the call price and will not be able to realize any of the investment's value above the call price. Options may involve economic leverage, which could result in greater price volatility than other investments.
Under
market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or may be centrally cleared. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is submitted for clearing to a central clearing house counterparty, and the Trust faces the central clearing house counterparty by means of an account with a futures commission merchant that is a member of the clearing house.
The Trust may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. An investment may be illiquid due to a lack of trading volume in the investment or if the investment is privately placed and not traded in any public market or is otherwise restricted from trading. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress.
Limitations on the resale of restricted securities may have an adverse effect on their marketability, and may prevent the Trust from disposing of them promptly at reasonable prices. There can be no assurance that a trading market will exist at any time for any particular restricted security. Transaction costs may be higher for restricted securities. Also, restricted securities may be difficult to value because market quotations may not be readily available, and the securities may have significant volatility. In addition, the Trust may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted security and therefore may be less able to predict a loss.
The Trust may invest in Rule 144A securities and other types of exempt securities, which are not registered for sale pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities while initially privately placed, typically may be resold only to qualified institutional buyers, or in a privately negotiated transaction, or to a limited number of purchasers, or in limited quantities after they have been held for a specified period of time and other conditions are met for an exemption from registration. If there are an insufficient number of qualified institutional buyers interested in purchasing such securities at a particular time, the Trust may have difficulty selling such securities at a desirable time or price. As a result, the Trust's investment in such securities may be subject to increased liquidity risk. In addition, the issuers of Rule 144A securities may require their qualified institutional buyers (such as the Trust) to keep certain offering information confidential, which could adversely affect the ability of the Trust to sell such securities.
The Adviser may internally assign ratings to securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Adviser's credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Unrated securities are considered "investment-grade" or "below-investment-grade" if judged by the Adviser to be comparable to rated investment-grade or below-investment-grade securities. The Adviser's rating does not constitute a guarantee of the credit quality. In addition, some unrated securities may not have an active trading market or may trade less actively than rated securities, which means that the Trust might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable price. In evaluating the credit quality of a particular security, whether rated or unrated, the Adviser will normally take into consideration a number of factors such as, if applicable, the financial resources of the issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service on a security, the issuer's sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities of the issuer's management, and regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility. A reduction in the rating of a security after the Trust buys it will not require the Trust to dispose of the security. However, the Adviser will evaluate such downgraded securities
Borrowing for leverage will subject the Trust to greater costs (for interest payments to the lender, origination fees and related expenses) than funds that do not borrow for leverage and these other purposes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Trust's yield, especially if the cost of borrowing to buy securities exceeds the yield on the securities purchased with the proceeds of a loan. Using leverage may also make the Trust's share price more sensitive, i.e. volatile, to interest rate changes than if the Trust did not use leverage due to the tendency to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Trust's portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Trust to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations. Foreign Securities Risk. The value of the Trust's foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home countries of the issuers of the investments, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Trust could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than

There are a number of risks associated with an investment in loans including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk and prepayment risk. Lack of an active trading market, restrictions on resale, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods may impair the Trust's ability to sell loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Trust. As a result, the Trust may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. The risk of holding loans is also directly tied to the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy of the borrower. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to pay, there is the possibility that the collateral securing a loan, if any, may be difficult to liquidate or be insufficient to cover the amount owed under the loan. The value of loans can be affected by and sensitive to changes in government regulation and to economic downturns in
The ESG considerations that may be assessed as part of a credit research process to implement the Trust's investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective may vary across types of eligible investments and issuers, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every investment, and not every investment or issuer may be evaluated for ESG considerations. The Trust's portfolio will not be solely based on ESG considerations, and therefore the issuers in which the Trust invests may not be considered
issuers. The incorporation of
Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments in an issuer's capital structure, subjecting them to a greater risk of
than these more senior securities. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt securities to actual or perceived changes in the company's financial condition or prospects. Preferred securities may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Investments in real estate related instruments may be adversely affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies. Shares of real estate related companies, which tend to be small- and
companies, may be more volatile and less liquid than larger companies. If a real estate related company defaults on certain types of debt obligations held by the Trust the Trust may acquire real estate directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes.
In addition to the risks associated with the underlying assets held by the exchange-traded fund, investments in exchange-traded funds are subject to the following additional risks: (1) the market price of an exchange-traded fund's shares may trade above or below its net asset value; (2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund's shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading an exchange-traded fund's shares may be halted if the listing exchange's officials deem such action appropriate; (4) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may not accurately track the performance of the reference asset; and (5) a passively managed exchange-traded fund would not necessarily sell a security because the issuer of the security was in financial trouble unless the security is removed from the index that the exchange-traded fund seeks to track. Investment in exchange-traded funds may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Trust indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain exchange-traded funds in which the Trust may invest are leveraged. Investing in leveraged exchange-traded funds may result in economic leverage, which does not result in the possibility of the Trust incurring obligations beyond its investments, but nonetheless permits the Trust to

Zero coupon and
securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and less liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably rated securities paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods. Prices on
instruments may be more sensitive to changes in the issuer's financial condition, fluctuation in interest rates and market demand/supply imbalances than cash-paying securities with similar credit ratings, and thus may be more speculative. Investors may purchase zero coupon and
securities at a price below the amount payable at maturity. Because such securities do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest prior to maturity, this prevents any reinvestment of interest payments at prevailing interest rates if prevailing interest rates rise. The higher yields and interest rates on
securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than coupon loans.
securities may have a potential variability in valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. Special tax considerations are associated with investing in certain lower-grade securities, such as zero coupon or
securities.

Although money market funds generally seek to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, the Trust may lose money by investing in money market funds. A money market fund's sponsor is not required to reimburse the money market fund for losses. The credit quality of a money market fund's holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the money market fund's share price. A money market fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets and/or significant market volatility.
The Board has adopted a Managed Distribution Plan (the "Plan") for the Trust whereby the Trust seeks to pay a stated fixed monthly distribution amount to common shareholders. The Plan is intended to provide common shareholders with a consistent, but not guaranteed, periodic cash payment from the Trust, regardless of when or whether income is earned or capital gains are realized. If sufficient investment income is not available for a monthly distribution, the Trust will distribute long-term capital gains and/or retuof capital in order to maintain its managed distribution level under the Plan. The Plan is subject to periodic review by the Board, and the Board may amend the terms of the Plan or terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to the Trust's shareholders. The amendment or termination of the Plan could have an
The Trust is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser's judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Trust's portfolio. The Trust could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee that the Adviser's investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Trust, which may also adversely affect the ability of the Trust to achieve its investment objective.
obligations issued by governments or political subdivisions of governments. In complying with this restriction, the Trust will not consider a bank-issued guaranty or financial guaranty insurance as a separate security.

PRE-APPROVALOF AUDIT AND NON-AUDITSERVICES
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
As adopted by the Audit Committees
of the Invesco Funds (the "Funds")
Last Amended March 29, 2017
| I. |
Statement of Principles |
The Audit Committees (the "Audit Committee") of the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (the "Board") have adopted these policies and procedures (the "Procedures") with respect to the pre-approvalof audit and non-auditservices to be provided by the Funds' independent auditor (the "Auditor") to the Funds, and to the Funds' investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Funds (collectively, "Service Affiliates").
Under Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-auditservices provided to the Funds by the Auditor must be preapproved by the Audit Committee. Rule 2-01of Regulation S-Xrequires that the Audit Committee also pre-approvea Service Affiliate's engagement of the Auditor for non-auditservices if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds (a "Service Affiliate's Covered Engagement").
These Procedures set forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which the Audit Committee may pre-approveaudit and non-auditservices for the Funds and a Service Affiliate's Covered Engagement pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and other organizations and regulatory bodies applicable to the Funds ("Applicable Rules").1 They address both general pre-approvalswithout consideration of specific case-by-caseservices ("general pre-approvals") and pre-approvals on a case-by-casebasis ("specific pre-approvals"). Any services requiring pre-approvalthat are not within the scope of general pre-approvalshereunder are subject to specific pre-approval.These Procedures also address the delegation by the Audit Committee of pre-approvalauthority to the Audit Committee Chair or Vice Chair.
| II. |
Pre-Approvalof Fund Audit Services |
The annual Fund audit services engagement, including terms and fees, is subject to specific pre-approvalby the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by an independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds' financial statements. The Audit Committee will receive, review and consider sufficient information concerning a proposed Fund audit engagement to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor's qualifications and independence. The Audit Committee will oversee the Fund audit services engagement as necessary, including approving any changes in terms, audit scope, conditions and fees.
In addition to approving the Fund audit services engagement at least annually and specifically approving any changes, the Audit Committee may generally or specifically pre-approveengagements for other audit services, which are those services that only an independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other audit services may include services associated with
| III. |
General and Specific Pre-Approvalof Non-AuditFund Services |
The Audit Committee will consider, at least annually, the list of General Pre-ApprovedNon-AuditServices which list may be terminated or modified at any time by the Audit Committee. To inform the Audit Committee's review and approval of General Pre-ApprovedNon-AuditServices, the Funds' Treasurer (or his or her designee) and Auditor shall provide such information regarding independence or other matters as the Audit Committee may request.
Any services or fee ranges that are not within the scope of General Pre-ApprovedNon-AuditServices have not received general pre-approvaland require specific pre-approval.Each request for specific pre-approvalby the Audit Committee for services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds' Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether to pre-approvesuch engagement, including evaluating whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor and is otherwise consistent with Applicable Rules.
| IV. |
Non-AuditService Types |
The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approvalof audit-related, tax or other services, each as described in more detail below.
| 1 |
Applicable Rules include, for example, New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") rules applicable to closed-endfunds managed by Invesco and listed on NYSE. |
| a. |
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 an 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; services related to mergers, acquisitions or dispositions; compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements.
| b. |
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 Committee will not approve proposed services of the Auditor which the Audit Committee believes are to be provided in connection with a service or transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds' Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisers as necessary to ensure the consistency of tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy. The Auditor shall not represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.
Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approvalof the Audit Committee will include a description from the Auditor in writing of (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or other amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement (whether oral, written, or otherwise) between the Auditor and the Funds, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharingarrangement, between the Auditor (or an affiliate of the Auditor) and any person (other than the Funds or Service Affiliates receiving the services) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will also discuss with the Audit Committee the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor, and document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committee.
| c. |
Other Services |
The Audit Committee may pre-approveother non-audit services so long as the Audit Committee believes that the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor. Appendix Iincludes a list of services that the Auditor is prohibited from performing by the
| V. |
Pre-Approvalof Service Affiliate's Covered Engagements |
Rule 2-01of Regulation S-Xrequires that the Audit Committee pre-approvea Service Affiliate's engagement of the Auditor for non-auditservices if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds, defined above as a "Service Affiliate's Covered Engagement".
The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approvalof any Service Affiliate's Covered Engagement, including for audit-related, tax or other services, as described above, if the Audit
Committee believes that the provision of the services to a Service Affiliate will not impair the independence of the Auditor with respect to the Funds. Any Service Affiliate's Covered Engagements that are not within the scope of General Pre-ApprovedNon-AuditServices have not received general pre-approvaland require specific pre-approval.
Each request for specific pre-approvalby the Audit Committee of a Service Affiliate's Covered Engagement must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds' Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, a description of the current status of the pre-approvalprocess involving other audit committees in the Invesco investment company complex (as defined in Rule 2-201of Regulation S-X)with respect to the proposed engagement, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor from the Funds. Additionally, the Funds' Treasurer (or his or her designee) and the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a statement that the proposed engagement requires pre-approvalby the Audit Committee, the proposed engagement, in their view, will not impair the independence of the Auditor and is consistent with Applicable Rules, and the description of the proposed engagement provided to the Audit Committee is consistent with that presented to or approved by the Invesco audit committee.
Information about all Service Affiliate engagements of the Auditor for non-auditservices, whether or not subject to pre-approvalby the Audit Committee, shall be provided to the Audit Committee at least quarterly, to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence from the Funds. The Funds' Treasurer and Auditor shall provide the Audit Committee with sufficiently detailed information about the scope of services provided and the fees for such services, to ensure that the Audit Committee can adequately consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence from the Fund.
| VI. |
Pre-Approved |
Pre-approvedfee levels or ranges for audit and non-auditservices to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds, and for a Service Affiliate's Covered Engagement, under general pre-approvalor specific pre-approvalwill be set periodically by the Audit Committee. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approvedfee levels or ranges for such services or engagements will be promptly presented to the Audit Committee and will require specific pre-approvalby the Audit Committee before payment of any additional fees is made.
| VII. |
Delegation |
The Audit Committee hereby delegates, subject to the dollar limitations set forth below, specific authority to its Chair, or in his or her absence, Vice Chair, to pre-approveaudit and non-auditservices proposed to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds and/or a Service Affiliate's Covered Engagement, between Audit Committee meetings. Such delegation does not preclude the Chair or Vice Chair from declining, on a case-by-casebasis, to exercise his or her delegated authority and instead convening the Audit Committee to consider and pre-approveany proposed services or engagements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Audit Committee must pre-approve:(a) any non-auditservices to be provided to the Funds for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; (b) any Service Affiliate's Covered Engagement for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; or (c) any cost increase to any previously approved service or engagement that exceeds the greater of $250,000 or 50% of the previously approved fees up to a maximum increase of $500,000.
| VIII. |
Compliance with Procedures |
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure to pre-approveany services or engagements that are not required to be pre-approvedpursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C)of Regulation S-Xshall not constitute a violation of these Procedures. The Audit Committee has designated the Funds' Treasurer to ensure services and engagements are pre-approvedin compliance with these Procedures. The Funds' Treasurer will immediately report to the Chair of the Audit Committee, or the Vice Chair in his or her absence, any breach of these Procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds' Treasurer or any services or engagements that are not required to be pre-approvedpursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C)of Regulation S-X.
On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a summary of all non-auditservices provided to any entity in the investment company complex (as defined in section 2-01(f)(14)of Regulation S-X,including the Funds and Service Affiliates) that were not pre-approved,including the nature of services provided and the associated fees.
| IX. |
