This report must be accompanied or preceded by a currently effective Fund prospectus, which contains more complete information, including fees and expenses. Investors should read it carefully before investing.

Weighted average maturity (WAM) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAM is the lower of the stated maturity date or next interest rate reset date. WAM reflects how a portfolio would react to interest rate changes.

    Weighted average life (WAL) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAL is the lower of the stated maturity date or next demand feature date. WAL reflects how a portfolio would react to deteriorating credit (widening spreads) or tightening liquidity conditions.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment. This includes but is not limited to: monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions; assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus; and monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

    We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

    As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Dear Shareholders:

Money market investors cheered in December when the US Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target rate after holding it near zero for seven years in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Moderate economic growth, improvement in employment and the need to remove “emergency accommodation” were the primary reasons for the Fed’s action. More rate hikes are expected, but at a slower pace than past Fed regimes.

    The money market fund industry in the US continued to move ahead with plans to adopt the new money market fund regulations announced in 2014, which are set to be fully implemented on October 14, 2016. Invesco, along with many in the industry, continues to focus on successfully meeting all reform requirements in a timely fashion. We will continue to keep you

and all our valued money market fund investors informed about money market fund reform through public announcements as updates are available.

    For more than 30 years, Invesco Global Liquidity has worked to gain and keep the trust of our investors through our deep industry knowledge and our investment expertise. Our primary goal through the money market fund reform process is to provide our investors with a full suite of liquidity management solutions to meet their investing needs with the least amount of disruption while remaining focused on our disciplined investment process. For Invesco Global Liquidity, safety is of paramount importance in the investment process for all our money market funds. Our conservative investment philosophy has always focused on providing safety, liquidity, and yield – in that order – to our money market fund investors.

    Invesco Global Liquidity is dedicated to the future of this industry – and to yours. Thank you for investing with us.

Sincerely,

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2016

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Short-Term Investments Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series diversified management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust which currently offers six separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The Funds covered in this report are Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio, Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio and Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (collectively, the “Funds”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Funds. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class.

The investment objectives of the Funds are: to provide current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity for Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio and Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio; and to provide tax-exempt income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio.

Each Fund currently offers seven different classes of shares: Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

A. Security Valuations — Each Fund’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.

 

37                         Short-Term Investments Trust


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.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any), adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income.

The Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to each Fund’s investments. As such, the Funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving each Fund’s investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statements 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 Statements of Operations and the Statements 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 each Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce each Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Funds and the investment adviser.

The Funds allocate realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Funds allocate 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 — It is the policy of the Funds to declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay dividends on the first business day of the following month. Each Fund generally distributes net realized capital gain (including net short-term capital gain), if any, annually.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend 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 Funds’ taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

In addition, Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio 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.

Each Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, each 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 each Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses of each respective Fund are allocated among the classes of such Fund based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts, including each Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against such Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I.

Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including each Fund’s pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by such Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of non-government securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-

 

38                         Short-Term Investments Trust


  registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates (“Joint repurchase agreements”). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Funds might incur expenses in enforcing their rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income.
J. Other Risks — Investments in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government.

The effect on performance from investing in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industry can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.

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 the 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.

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 a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to each Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class shares for each Fund as shown in the following table (the “expense limits”):

The expense limits shown are the expense limits after Rule 12b-1 fee waivers by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The expense limits for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio also exclude Trustees’ fees and federal registration expenses.

In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the number reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses, and (4) expenses that the Funds have incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver arrangement, it will terminate on December 31, 2016. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.

Further, Invesco and/or IDI voluntarily waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to increase the yields of each Fund. Voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors.

For the six months ended February 29, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees and/or reimbursed Fund expenses, as shown below:

Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between IDI and the Trust, IDI acts as the exclusive distributor of each Fund’s shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees up to the maximum annual rate shown below of average daily net assets of such Class of each Fund, respectively.

Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of each Fund may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such class. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of each Fund.

IDI has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Funds such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to each share class equals the maximum annual rate of average daily assets shown below:

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 each Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of February 29, 2016, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by each Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, each Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed below:

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by each Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of such Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Funds, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by each Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Funds 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 each Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

NOTE 6—Cash Balances

The Funds are permitted to temporarily overdraft or leave balances in their accounts with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon), the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate BNY Mellon or the Funds for such activity, the Funds may either (1) pay to or receive from BNY Mellon compensation at a rate agreed upon by BNY Mellon and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate; or (2) leave funds or overdraft funds as a compensating balance in the account so BNY Mellon or the Funds can be compensated for use of funds.

NOTE 7—Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to each Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at each Fund’s fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Funds below had a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2015 which expires as follows:

 

    Short-Term        Long-Term        Total*  
Fund   2018        2019

* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder in the Cash Management Class, you incur 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 Funds 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 September 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016.

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 each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each 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 Funds 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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, 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 Funds for the period September 1, 2015, through February 29, 2016, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on each Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Weighted average maturity (WAM) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAM is the lower of the stated maturity date or next interest rate reset date. WAM reflects how a portfolio would react to interest rate changes.

    Weighted average life (WAL) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAL is the lower of the stated maturity date or next demand feature date. WAL reflects how a portfolio would react to deteriorating credit (widening spreads) or tightening liquidity conditions.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment. This includes but is not limited to: monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions; assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus; and monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

    We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

    As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Dear Shareholders:

Money market investors cheered in December when the US Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target rate after holding it near zero for seven years in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Moderate economic growth, improvement in employment and the need to remove “emergency accommodation” were the primary reasons for the Fed’s action. More rate hikes are expected, but at a slower pace than past Fed regimes.

    The money market fund industry in the US continued to move ahead with plans to adopt the new money market fund regulations announced in 2014, which are set to be fully implemented on October 14, 2016. Invesco, along with many in the industry, continues to focus on successfully meeting all reform requirements in a timely fashion. We will continue to keep you

and all our valued money market fund investors informed about money market fund reform through public announcements as updates are available.

    For more than 30 years, Invesco Global Liquidity has worked to gain and keep the trust of our investors through our deep industry knowledge and our investment expertise. Our primary goal through the money market fund reform process is to provide our investors with a full suite of liquidity management solutions to meet their investing needs with the least amount of disruption while remaining focused on our disciplined investment process. For Invesco Global Liquidity, safety is of paramount importance in the investment process for all our money market funds. Our conservative investment philosophy has always focused on providing safety, liquidity, and yield – in that order – to our money market fund investors.

    Invesco Global Liquidity is dedicated to the future of this industry – and to yours. Thank you for investing with us.

Sincerely,

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

(a)  Securities may be traded on a discount basis. The interest rate shown represents the discount rate at the time of purchase by the Fund.
(b)  The security is credit guaranteed, enhanced or has credit risk by a foreign entity. The foreign credit exposure to countries other than the United States of America (as a percentage of net assets) is summarized as follows: France: 12.8%; Canada: 12.8%; Sweden: 12.8%; Japan: 7.9%; Singapore: 7.9%; Netherlands: 5.7%; United Kingdom: 5.6%; Norway: 5.0%; other countries less than 5% each: 16.2%.
(c)  Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at February 29, 2016 was $1,190,220,001, which represented 43.53% of the Fund’s Net Assets.
(d)  Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on February 29, 2016.
(e)  Demand security payable upon demand by the Fund at specified time intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on February 29, 2016.
(f)  Principal and interest payments are fully enhanced by a letter of credit from the bank listed or a predecessor bank, branch or subsidiary.
(g)  Principal amount equals value at period end. See Note 1I.
(h)  The Fund may demand payment of the term repurchase agreement upon one to seven business days’ notice depending on the timing of the demand.
(i)  Also represents cost for federal income tax purposes.
(j)  This table provides a listing of those entities that have either issued, guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of more than 5% of the securities held in the portfolio. In instances where the entity has guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of a security, it is not primarily responsible for the issuer’s obligations but may be called upon to satisfy the issuer’s obligations.

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2016

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Short-Term Investments Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series diversified management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust which currently offers six separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The Funds covered in this report are Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio, Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio and Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (collectively, the “Funds”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Funds. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class.

The investment objectives of the Funds are: to provide current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity for Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio and Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio; and to provide tax-exempt income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio.

Each Fund currently offers seven different classes of shares: Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

A. Security Valuations — Each Fund’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.

 

37                         Short-Term Investments Trust


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.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any), adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income.

The Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to each Fund’s investments. As such, the Funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving each Fund’s investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statements 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 Statements of Operations and the Statements 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 each Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce each Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Funds and the investment adviser.

The Funds allocate realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Funds allocate 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 — It is the policy of the Funds to declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay dividends on the first business day of the following month. Each Fund generally distributes net realized capital gain (including net short-term capital gain), if any, annually.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend 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 Funds’ taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

In addition, Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio 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.

Each Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, each 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 each Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses of each respective Fund are allocated among the classes of such Fund based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts, including each Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against such Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I.

Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including each Fund’s pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by such Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of non-government securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-

 

38                         Short-Term Investments Trust


  registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates (“Joint repurchase agreements”). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Funds might incur expenses in enforcing their rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income.
J. Other Risks — Investments in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government.

The effect on performance from investing in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industry can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.

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 the 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.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to each Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class shares for each Fund as shown in the following table (the “expense limits”):

The expense limits shown are the expense limits after Rule 12b-1 fee waivers by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The expense limits for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio also exclude Trustees’ fees and federal registration expenses.

In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the number reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses, and (4) expenses that the Funds have incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver arrangement, it will terminate on December 31, 2016. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.

Further, Invesco and/or IDI voluntarily waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to increase the yields of each Fund. Voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors.

For the six months ended February 29, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees and/or reimbursed Fund expenses, as shown below:

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to such Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statements of Operations as Administrative services fees.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to such Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statements of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between IDI and the Trust, IDI acts as the exclusive distributor of each Fund’s shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees up to the maximum annual rate shown below of average daily net assets of such Class of each Fund, respectively.

Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of each Fund may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such class. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of each Fund.

IDI has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Funds such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to each share class equals the maximum annual rate of average daily assets shown below:

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 each Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of February 29, 2016, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by each Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, each Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed below:

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by each Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of such Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Funds, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by each Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Funds 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 each Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

NOTE 6—Cash Balances

The Funds are permitted to temporarily overdraft or leave balances in their accounts with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon), the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate BNY Mellon or the Funds for such activity, the Funds may either (1) pay to or receive from BNY Mellon compensation at a rate agreed upon by BNY Mellon and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate; or (2) leave funds or overdraft funds as a compensating balance in the account so BNY Mellon or the Funds can be compensated for use of funds.

NOTE 7—Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to each Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at each Fund’s fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Funds below had a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2015 which expires as follows:

 

    Short-Term        Long-Term        Total*

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder in the Corporate Class, you incur 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 Funds 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 September 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016.

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 each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each 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 Funds 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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, 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 Funds for the period September 1, 2015, through February 29, 2016, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on each Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Weighted average maturity (WAM) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAM is the lower of the stated maturity date or next interest rate reset date. WAM reflects how a portfolio would react to interest rate changes.

    Weighted average life (WAL) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAL is the lower of the stated maturity date or next demand feature date. WAL reflects how a portfolio would react to deteriorating credit (widening spreads) or tightening liquidity conditions.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment. This includes but is not limited to: monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions; assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus; and monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

    We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

    As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Dear Shareholders:

Money market investors cheered in December when the US Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target rate after holding it near zero for seven years in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Moderate economic growth, improvement in employment and the need to remove “emergency accommodation” were the primary reasons for the Fed’s action. More rate hikes are expected, but at a slower pace than past Fed regimes.

    The money market fund industry in the US continued to move ahead with plans to adopt the new money market fund regulations announced in 2014, which are set to be fully implemented on October 14, 2016. Invesco, along with many in the industry, continues to focus on successfully meeting all reform requirements in a timely fashion. We will continue to keep you

and all our valued money market fund investors informed about money market fund reform through public announcements as updates are available.

    For more than 30 years, Invesco Global Liquidity has worked to gain and keep the trust of our investors through our deep industry knowledge and our investment expertise. Our primary goal through the money market fund reform process is to provide our investors with a full suite of liquidity management solutions to meet their investing needs with the least amount of disruption while remaining focused on our disciplined investment process. For Invesco Global Liquidity, safety is of paramount importance in the investment process for all our money market funds. Our conservative investment philosophy has always focused on providing safety, liquidity, and yield – in that order – to our money market fund investors.

    Invesco Global Liquidity is dedicated to the future of this industry – and to yours. Thank you for investing with us.

Sincerely,

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2016

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Short-Term Investments Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series diversified management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust which currently offers six separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The Funds covered in this report are Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio, Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio and Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (collectively, the “Funds”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Funds. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class.

The investment objectives of the Funds are: to provide current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity for Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio and Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio; and to provide tax-exempt income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio.

Each Fund currently offers seven different classes of shares: Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

A. Security Valuations — Each Fund’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.

 

37                         Short-Term Investments Trust


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.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any), adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income.

The Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to each Fund’s investments. As such, the Funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving each Fund’s investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statements 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 Statements of Operations and the Statements 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 each Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce each Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Funds and the investment adviser.

The Funds allocate realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Funds allocate 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 — It is the policy of the Funds to declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay dividends on the first business day of the following month. Each Fund generally distributes net realized capital gain (including net short-term capital gain), if any, annually.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend 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 Funds’ taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

In addition, Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio 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.

Each Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, each 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 each Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses of each respective Fund are allocated among the classes of such Fund based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts, including each Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against such Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I.

Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including each Fund’s pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by such Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of non-government securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-

 

38                         Short-Term Investments Trust


  registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates (“Joint repurchase agreements”). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Funds might incur expenses in enforcing their rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income.
J. Other Risks — Investments in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government.

The effect on performance from investing in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industry can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.

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 the 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.

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 a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to each Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class shares for each Fund as shown in the following table (the “expense limits”):

The expense limits shown are the expense limits after Rule 12b-1 fee waivers by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The expense limits for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio also exclude Trustees’ fees and federal registration expenses.

In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the number reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses, and (4) expenses that the Funds have incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver arrangement, it will terminate on December 31, 2016. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.

Further, Invesco and/or IDI voluntarily waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to increase the yields of each Fund. Voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors.

For the six months ended February 29, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees and/or reimbursed Fund expenses, as shown below:

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to such Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statements of Operations as Administrative services fees.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to such Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statements of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between IDI and the Trust, IDI acts as the exclusive distributor of each Fund’s shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees up to the maximum annual rate shown below of average daily net assets of such Class of each Fund, respectively.

Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of each Fund may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such class. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of each Fund.

IDI has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Funds such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to each share class equals the maximum annual rate of average daily assets shown below:

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 each Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of February 29, 2016, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by each Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, each Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed below:

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by each Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of such Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Funds, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by each Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Funds 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 each Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

NOTE 6—Cash Balances

The Funds are permitted to temporarily overdraft or leave balances in their accounts with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon), the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate BNY Mellon or the Funds for such activity, the Funds may either (1) pay to or receive from BNY Mellon compensation at a rate agreed upon by BNY Mellon and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate; or (2) leave funds or overdraft funds as a compensating balance in the account so BNY Mellon or the Funds can be compensated for use of funds.

NOTE 7—Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to each Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at each Fund’s fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Funds below had a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2015 which expires as follows:

 

    Short-Term        Long-Term        Total*  
Fund   2018        2019

* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder in the Institutional Class, you incur ongoing costs, such as management fees. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds 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 September 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016.

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 each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each 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 Funds 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. 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.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Funds for the period September 1, 2015, through February 29, 2016, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on each Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Weighted average maturity (WAM) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAM is the lower of the stated maturity date or next interest rate reset date. WAM reflects how a portfolio would react to interest rate changes.

    Weighted average life (WAL) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAL is the lower of the stated maturity date or next demand feature date. WAL reflects how a portfolio would react to deteriorating credit (widening spreads) or tightening liquidity conditions.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment. This includes but is not limited to: monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions; assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus; and monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

    We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

    As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Dear Shareholders:

Money market investors cheered in December when the US Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target rate after holding it near zero for seven years in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Moderate economic growth, improvement in employment and the need to remove “emergency accommodation” were the primary reasons for the Fed’s action. More rate hikes are expected, but at a slower pace than past Fed regimes.

    The money market fund industry in the US continued to move ahead with plans to adopt the new money market fund regulations announced in 2014, which are set to be fully implemented on October 14, 2016. Invesco, along with many in the industry, continues to focus on successfully meeting all reform requirements in a timely fashion. We will continue to keep you

and all our valued money market fund investors informed about money market fund reform through public announcements as updates are available.

    For more than 30 years, Invesco Global Liquidity has worked to gain and keep the trust of our investors through our deep industry knowledge and our investment expertise. Our primary goal through the money market fund reform process is to provide our investors with a full suite of liquidity management solutions to meet their investing needs with the least amount of disruption while remaining focused on our disciplined investment process. For Invesco Global Liquidity, safety is of paramount importance in the investment process for all our money market funds. Our conservative investment philosophy has always focused on providing safety, liquidity, and yield – in that order – to our money market fund investors.

    Invesco Global Liquidity is dedicated to the future of this industry – and to yours. Thank you for investing with us.

Sincerely,

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

(a)  Securities may be traded on a discount basis. The interest rate shown represents the discount rate at the time of purchase by the Fund.
(b)  The security is credit guaranteed, enhanced or has credit risk by a foreign entity. The foreign credit exposure to countries other than the United States of America (as a percentage of net assets) is summarized as follows: France: 12.8%; Canada: 12.8%; Sweden: 12.8%; Japan: 7.9%; Singapore: 7.9%; Netherlands: 5.7%; United Kingdom: 5.6%; Norway: 5.0%; other countries less than 5% each: 16.2%.
(c)  Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at February 29, 2016 was $1,190,220,001, which represented 43.53% of the Fund’s Net Assets.
(d)  Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on February 29, 2016.
(e)  Demand security payable upon demand by the Fund at specified time intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on February 29, 2016.
(f)  Principal and interest payments are fully enhanced by a letter of credit from the bank listed or a predecessor bank, branch or subsidiary.
(g)  Principal amount equals value at period end. See Note 1I.
(h)  The Fund may demand payment of the term repurchase agreement upon one to seven business days’ notice depending on the timing of the demand.
(i)  Also represents cost for federal income tax purposes.
(j)  This table provides a listing of those entities that have either issued, guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of more than 5% of the securities held in the portfolio. In instances where the entity has guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of a security, it is not primarily responsible for the issuer’s obligations but may be called upon to satisfy the issuer’s obligations.

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2016

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Short-Term Investments Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series diversified management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust which currently offers six separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The Funds covered in this report are Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio, Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio and Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (collectively, the “Funds”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Funds. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class.

The investment objectives of the Funds are: to provide current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity for Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio and Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio; and to provide tax-exempt income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio.

Each Fund currently offers seven different classes of shares: Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

A. Security Valuations — Each Fund’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.

 

37                         Short-Term Investments Trust


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.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any), adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income.

The Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to each Fund’s investments. As such, the Funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving each Fund’s investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statements 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 Statements of Operations and the Statements 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 each Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce each Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Funds and the investment adviser.

The Funds allocate realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Funds allocate 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 — It is the policy of the Funds to declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay dividends on the first business day of the following month. Each Fund generally distributes net realized capital gain (including net short-term capital gain), if any, annually.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend 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 Funds’ taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

In addition, Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio 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.

Each Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, each 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 each Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses of each respective Fund are allocated among the classes of such Fund based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts, including each Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against such Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I.

Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including each Fund’s pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by such Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of non-government securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-

 

38                         Short-Term Investments Trust


  registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates (“Joint repurchase agreements”). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Funds might incur expenses in enforcing their rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income.
J. Other Risks — Investments in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government.

The effect on performance from investing in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industry can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.

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 the 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.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to each Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class shares for each Fund as shown in the following table (the “expense limits”):

The expense limits shown are the expense limits after Rule 12b-1 fee waivers by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The expense limits for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio also exclude Trustees’ fees and federal registration expenses.

In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the number reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses, and (4) expenses that the Funds have incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver arrangement, it will terminate on December 31, 2016. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.

Further, Invesco and/or IDI voluntarily waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to increase the yields of each Fund. Voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors.

For the six months ended February 29, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees and/or reimbursed Fund expenses, as shown below:

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to such Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statements of Operations as Administrative services fees.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to such Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statements of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between IDI and the Trust, IDI acts as the exclusive distributor of each Fund’s shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees up to the maximum annual rate shown below of average daily net assets of such Class of each Fund, respectively.

Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of each Fund may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such class. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of each Fund.

IDI has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Funds such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to each share class equals the maximum annual rate of average daily assets shown below:

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 each Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of February 29, 2016, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by each Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, each Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed below:

 

     Securities Purchases        Securities Sales        Net Realized Gains

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by each Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of such Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Funds, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by each Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Funds 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 each Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

NOTE 6—Cash Balances

The Funds are permitted to temporarily overdraft or leave balances in their accounts with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon), the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate BNY Mellon or the Funds for such activity, the Funds may either (1) pay to or receive from BNY Mellon compensation at a rate agreed upon by BNY Mellon and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate; or (2) leave funds or overdraft funds as a compensating balance in the account so BNY Mellon or the Funds can be compensated for use of funds.

NOTE 7—Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to each Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at each Fund’s fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Funds below had a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2015 which expires as follows:

 

    Short-Term        Long-Term        Total*

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder in the Personal Investment Class, you incur 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 Funds 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 September 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016.

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 each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each 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 Funds 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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, 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.

Weighted average maturity (WAM) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAM is the lower of the stated maturity date or next interest rate reset date. WAM reflects how a portfolio would react to interest rate changes.

    Weighted average life (WAL) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAL is the lower of the stated maturity date or next demand feature date. WAL reflects how a portfolio would react to deteriorating credit (widening spreads) or tightening liquidity conditions.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment. This includes but is not limited to: monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions; assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus; and monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

    We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

    As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Dear Shareholders:

Money market investors cheered in December when the US Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target rate after holding it near zero for seven years in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Moderate economic growth, improvement in employment and the need to remove “emergency accommodation” were the primary reasons for the Fed’s action. More rate hikes are expected, but at a slower pace than past Fed regimes.

    The money market fund industry in the US continued to move ahead with plans to adopt the new money market fund regulations announced in 2014, which are set to be fully implemented on October 14, 2016. Invesco, along with many in the industry, continues to focus on successfully meeting all reform requirements in a timely fashion. We will continue to keep you

and all our valued money market fund investors informed about money market fund reform through public announcements as updates are available.

    For more than 30 years, Invesco Global Liquidity has worked to gain and keep the trust of our investors through our deep industry knowledge and our investment expertise. Our primary goal through the money market fund reform process is to provide our investors with a full suite of liquidity management solutions to meet their investing needs with the least amount of disruption while remaining focused on our disciplined investment process. For Invesco Global Liquidity, safety is of paramount importance in the investment process for all our money market funds. Our conservative investment philosophy has always focused on providing safety, liquidity, and yield – in that order – to our money market fund investors.

    Invesco Global Liquidity is dedicated to the future of this industry – and to yours. Thank you for investing with us.

Sincerely,

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2016

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Short-Term Investments Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series diversified management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust which currently offers six separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The Funds covered in this report are Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio, Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio and Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (collectively, the “Funds”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Funds. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class.

The investment objectives of the Funds are: to provide current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity for Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio and Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio; and to provide tax-exempt income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio.

Each Fund currently offers seven different classes of shares: Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

A. Security Valuations — Each Fund’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.

 

37                         Short-Term Investments Trust


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.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any), adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income.

The Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to each Fund’s investments. As such, the Funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving each Fund’s investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statements 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 Statements of Operations and the Statements 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 each Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce each Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Funds and the investment adviser.

The Funds allocate realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Funds allocate 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 — It is the policy of the Funds to declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay dividends on the first business day of the following month. Each Fund generally distributes net realized capital gain (including net short-term capital gain), if any, annually.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend 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 Funds’ taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

In addition, Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio 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.

Each Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, each 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 each Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses of each respective Fund are allocated among the classes of such Fund based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts, including each Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against such Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I.

Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including each Fund’s pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by such Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of non-government securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-

 

38                         Short-Term Investments Trust


  registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates (“Joint repurchase agreements”). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Funds might incur expenses in enforcing their rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income.
J. Other Risks — Investments in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government.

The effect on performance from investing in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industry can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.

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 the 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.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, each Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser at an annual rate based on each Funds’ average daily net assets as follows, respectively:

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to each Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class shares for each Fund as shown in the following table (the “expense limits”):

The expense limits shown are the expense limits after Rule 12b-1 fee waivers by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The expense limits for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio also exclude Trustees’ fees and federal registration expenses.

In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the number reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses, and (4) expenses that the Funds have incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver arrangement, it will terminate on December 31, 2016. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.

Further, Invesco and/or IDI voluntarily waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to increase the yields of each Fund. Voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors.

For the six months ended February 29, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees and/or reimbursed Fund expenses, as shown below:

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to such Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statements of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between IDI and the Trust, IDI acts as the exclusive distributor of each Fund’s shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees up to the maximum annual rate shown below of average daily net assets of such Class of each Fund, respectively.

Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of each Fund may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such class. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of each Fund.

IDI has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Funds such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to each share class equals the maximum annual rate of average daily assets shown below:

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 each Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of February 29, 2016, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by each Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, each Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed below:

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by each Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of such Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Funds, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by each Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Funds 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 each Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

NOTE 6—Cash Balances

The Funds are permitted to temporarily overdraft or leave balances in their accounts with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon), the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate BNY Mellon or the Funds for such activity, the Funds may either (1) pay to or receive from BNY Mellon compensation at a rate agreed upon by BNY Mellon and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate; or (2) leave funds or overdraft funds as a compensating balance in the account so BNY Mellon or the Funds can be compensated for use of funds.

NOTE 7—Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to each Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at each Fund’s fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Funds below had a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2015 which expires as follows:

 

    Short-Term        Long-Term        Total*  
Fund   2018        2019

* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder in the Private Investment Class, you incur 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 Funds 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 September 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016.

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 each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each 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 Funds 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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, 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 Funds for the period September 1, 2015, through February 29, 2016, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on each Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Weighted average maturity (WAM) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAM is the lower of the stated maturity date or next interest rate reset date. WAM reflects how a portfolio would react to interest rate changes.

    Weighted average life (WAL) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAL is the lower of the stated maturity date or next demand feature date. WAL reflects how a portfolio would react to deteriorating credit (widening spreads) or tightening liquidity conditions.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment. This includes but is not limited to: monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions; assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus; and monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

    We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

    As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Dear Shareholders:

Money market investors cheered in December when the US Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target rate after holding it near zero for seven years in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Moderate economic growth, improvement in employment and the need to remove “emergency accommodation” were the primary reasons for the Fed’s action. More rate hikes are expected, but at a slower pace than past Fed regimes.

    The money market fund industry in the US continued to move ahead with plans to adopt the new money market fund regulations announced in 2014, which are set to be fully implemented on October 14, 2016. Invesco, along with many in the industry, continues to focus on successfully meeting all reform requirements in a timely fashion. We will continue to keep you

and all our valued money market fund investors informed about money market fund reform through public announcements as updates are available.

    For more than 30 years, Invesco Global Liquidity has worked to gain and keep the trust of our investors through our deep industry knowledge and our investment expertise. Our primary goal through the money market fund reform process is to provide our investors with a full suite of liquidity management solutions to meet their investing needs with the least amount of disruption while remaining focused on our disciplined investment process. For Invesco Global Liquidity, safety is of paramount importance in the investment process for all our money market funds. Our conservative investment philosophy has always focused on providing safety, liquidity, and yield – in that order – to our money market fund investors.

    Invesco Global Liquidity is dedicated to the future of this industry – and to yours. Thank you for investing with us.

Sincerely,

(a)  Securities may be traded on a discount basis. The interest rate shown represents the discount rate at the time of purchase by the Fund.
(b)  The security is credit guaranteed, enhanced or has credit risk by a foreign entity. The foreign credit exposure to countries other than the United States of America (as a percentage of net assets) is summarized as follows: France: 12.8%; Canada: 12.8%; Sweden: 12.8%; Japan: 7.9%; Singapore: 7.9%; Netherlands: 5.7%; United Kingdom: 5.6%; Norway: 5.0%; other countries less than 5% each: 16.2%.
(c)  Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at February 29, 2016 was $1,190,220,001, which represented 43.53% of the Fund’s Net Assets.
(d)  Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on February 29, 2016.
(e)  Demand security payable upon demand by the Fund at specified time intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on February 29, 2016.

(g)  Principal amount equals value at period end. See Note 1I.
(h)  The Fund may demand payment of the term repurchase agreement upon one to seven business days’ notice depending on the timing of the demand.
(i)  Also represents cost for federal income tax purposes.
(j)  This table provides a listing of those entities that have either issued, guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of more than 5% of the securities held in the portfolio. In instances where the entity has guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of a security, it is not primarily responsible for the issuer’s obligations but may be called upon to satisfy the issuer’s obligations.

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Short-Term Investments Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series diversified management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust which currently offers six separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The Funds covered in this report are Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio, Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio and Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (collectively, the “Funds”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Funds. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class.

The investment objectives of the Funds are: to provide current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity for Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio and Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio; and to provide tax-exempt income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio.

Each Fund currently offers seven different classes of shares: Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

A. Security Valuations — Each Fund’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.

Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any), adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income.

The Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to each Fund’s investments. As such, the Funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving each Fund’s investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statements 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 Statements of Operations and the Statements 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 each Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce each Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Funds and the investment adviser.

The Funds allocate realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Funds allocate 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 — It is the policy of the Funds to declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay dividends on the first business day of the following month. Each Fund generally distributes net realized capital gain (including net short-term capital gain), if any, annually.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend 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 Funds’ taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

In addition, Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio 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.

Each Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, each 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 each Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses of each respective Fund are allocated among the classes of such Fund based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts, including each Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against such Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I.

Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including each Fund’s pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by such Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of non-government securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-

 

38                         Short-Term Investments Trust


  registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates (“Joint repurchase agreements”). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Funds might incur expenses in enforcing their rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income.
J. Other Risks — Investments in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government.

The effect on performance from investing in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industry can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.

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 the 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.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to each Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class shares for each Fund as shown in the following table (the “expense limits”):

The expense limits shown are the expense limits after Rule 12b-1 fee waivers by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The expense limits for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio also exclude Trustees’ fees and federal registration expenses.

In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the number reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses, and (4) expenses that the Funds have incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver arrangement, it will terminate on December 31, 2016. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.

Further, Invesco and/or IDI voluntarily waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to increase the yields of each Fund. Voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors.

For the six months ended February 29, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees and/or reimbursed Fund expenses, as shown below:

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to such Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statements of Operations as Administrative services fees.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to such Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statements of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between IDI and the Trust, IDI acts as the exclusive distributor of each Fund’s shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees up to the maximum annual rate shown below of average daily net assets of such Class of each Fund, respectively.

Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of each Fund may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such class. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of each Fund.

IDI has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Funds such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to each share class equals the maximum annual rate of average daily assets shown below:

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 each Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of February 29, 2016, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by each Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, each Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed below:

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by each Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of such Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Funds, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by each Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Funds 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 each Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

NOTE 6—Cash Balances

The Funds are permitted to temporarily overdraft or leave balances in their accounts with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon), the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate BNY Mellon or the Funds for such activity, the Funds may either (1) pay to or receive from BNY Mellon compensation at a rate agreed upon by BNY Mellon and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate; or (2) leave funds or overdraft funds as a compensating balance in the account so BNY Mellon or the Funds can be compensated for use of funds.

NOTE 7—Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to each Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at each Fund’s fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Funds below had a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2015 which expires as follows:

 

    Short-Term        Long-Term        Total*

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder in the Reserve Class, you incur 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 Funds 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 September 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016.

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 each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each 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 Funds 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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, 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 Funds for the period September 1, 2015, through February 29, 2016, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on each Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Weighted average maturity (WAM) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAM is the lower of the stated maturity date or next interest rate reset date. WAM reflects how a portfolio would react to interest rate changes.

    Weighted average life (WAL) is an average of all the maturities of all securities held in the portfolio, weighted by each security’s percentage of net assets. The days to maturity for WAL is the lower of the stated maturity date or next demand feature date. WAL reflects how a portfolio would react to deteriorating credit (widening spreads) or tightening liquidity conditions.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment. This includes but is not limited to: monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions; assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus; and monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

    We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

    As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Dear Shareholders:

Money market investors cheered in December when the US Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target rate after holding it near zero for seven years in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Moderate economic growth, improvement in employment and the need to remove “emergency accommodation” were the primary reasons for the Fed’s action. More rate hikes are expected, but at a slower pace than past Fed regimes.

    The money market fund industry in the US continued to move ahead with plans to adopt the new money market fund regulations announced in 2014, which are set to be fully implemented on October 14, 2016. Invesco, along with many in the industry, continues to focus on successfully meeting all reform requirements in a timely fashion. We will continue to keep you

and all our valued money market fund investors informed about money market fund reform through public announcements as updates are available.

    For more than 30 years, Invesco Global Liquidity has worked to gain and keep the trust of our investors through our deep industry knowledge and our investment expertise. Our primary goal through the money market fund reform process is to provide our investors with a full suite of liquidity management solutions to meet their investing needs with the least amount of disruption while remaining focused on our disciplined investment process. For Invesco Global Liquidity, safety is of paramount importance in the investment process for all our money market funds. Our conservative investment philosophy has always focused on providing safety, liquidity, and yield – in that order – to our money market fund investors.

    Invesco Global Liquidity is dedicated to the future of this industry – and to yours. Thank you for investing with us.

Sincerely,

Notes to Financial Statements

February 29, 2016

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Short-Term Investments Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series diversified management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust which currently offers six separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The Funds covered in this report are Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio, Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio and Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio (collectively, the “Funds”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Funds. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class.

The investment objectives of the Funds are: to provide current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity for Liquid Assets Portfolio, STIC Prime Portfolio, Treasury Portfolio, Government & Agency Portfolio and Government TaxAdvantage Portfolio; and to provide tax-exempt income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio.

Each Fund currently offers seven different classes of shares: Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

A. Security Valuations — Each Fund’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.

 

37                         Short-Term Investments Trust


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.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any), adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income.

The Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to each Fund’s investments. As such, the Funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving each Fund’s investments. Any proceeds received are included in the Statements 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 Statements of Operations and the Statements 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 each Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce each Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Funds and the investment adviser.

The Funds allocate realized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Funds allocate 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 — It is the policy of the Funds to declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay dividends on the first business day of the following month. Each Fund generally distributes net realized capital gain (including net short-term capital gain), if any, annually.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend 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 Funds’ taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

In addition, Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio 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.

Each Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, each 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 each Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses of each respective Fund are allocated among the classes of such Fund based on relative net assets.
G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts, including each Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against such Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I.

Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including each Fund’s pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by such Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of non-government securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-

 

38                         Short-Term Investments Trust


  registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates (“Joint repurchase agreements”). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Funds might incur expenses in enforcing their rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income.
J. Other Risks — Investments in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government.

The effect on performance from investing in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industry can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.

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 the 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.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, each Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser at an annual rate based on each Funds’ average daily net assets as follows, respectively:

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to each Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Institutional Class, Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class shares for each Fund as shown in the following table (the “expense limits”):

The expense limits shown are the expense limits after Rule 12b-1 fee waivers by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The expense limits for Tax-Free Cash Reserve Portfolio also exclude Trustees’ fees and federal registration expenses.

In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the number reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses, and (4) expenses that the Funds have incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver arrangement, it will terminate on December 31, 2016. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.

Further, Invesco and/or IDI voluntarily waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to increase the yields of each Fund. Voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors.

For the six months ended February 29, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees and/or reimbursed Fund expenses, as shown below:

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to such Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statements of Operations as Administrative services fees.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to such Fund. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statements of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

Under the terms of a master distribution agreement between IDI and the Trust, IDI acts as the exclusive distributor of each Fund’s shares. The Trust has adopted a master distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to Private Investment Class, Personal Investment Class, Cash Management Class, Reserve Class, Resource Class and Corporate Class (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees up to the maximum annual rate shown below of average daily net assets of such Class of each Fund, respectively.

Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of each Fund may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such class. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under such Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), impose a cap on the total amount of sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of each Fund.

IDI has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2016, to waive a portion of its compensation payable by the Funds such that compensation paid pursuant to the Plan with respect to each share class equals the maximum annual rate of average daily assets shown below:

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 each Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of February 29, 2016, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by each Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. For the six months ended February 29, 2016, each Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed below:

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by each Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of such Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Funds, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by each Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Funds 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 each Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

NOTE 6—Cash Balances

The Funds are permitted to temporarily overdraft or leave balances in their accounts with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon), the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate BNY Mellon or the Funds for such activity, the Funds may either (1) pay to or receive from BNY Mellon compensation at a rate agreed upon by BNY Mellon and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate; or (2) leave funds or overdraft funds as a compensating balance in the account so BNY Mellon or the Funds can be compensated for use of funds.

NOTE 7—Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to each Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at each Fund’s fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Funds below had a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2015 which expires as follows:

 

    Short-Term        Long-Term        Total*  
Fund   2018        2019

* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder in the Resource Class, you incur 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 Funds 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 September 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016.

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 each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each 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 Funds 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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, 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 Funds for the period September 1, 2015, through February 29, 2016, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on each Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

There were no amendments to the Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to the Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”) during the period covered by the report. The Registrant did not grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from any provisions of the Code to the PEO or PFO during the period covered by this report.

 

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the Independent Accountant to the series portfolios of the Registrant (“Funds”), has advised the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Funds (“Audit Committee”) that, as of the date of the filing of this Semi-Annual Report on Form N-CSR, it is in discussions with the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, regarding a difference in the interpretation and application of Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-X, or the Loan Rule.

The Loan Rule prohibits accounting firms, such as PwC, from having certain financial relationships with their audit clients and affiliated entities. Specifically, the Loan Rule provides, in relevant part, that an accounting firm is not independent if it receives a loan from an audit client or it receives a loan from a lender that is a “record or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of the audit client’s equity securities.” Pursuant to the SEC’s interpretation of the Loan Rule, some of PwC’s relationships with lenders who also own shares of one or more funds within the Invesco investment company complex may run afoul of the Loan Rule, calling into question PwC’s independence with respect to the Funds. However, PwC’s interpretation of the Loan Rule, in light of the facts of these lending relationships, leads it to conclude that there is no violation of the Loan Rule.

The Audit Committee has considered the lending relationships described by PwC and has concluded that (1) the lending relationships did not impact PwC’s application of objective judgment with respect to conducting its audits and issuing reports on the Funds’ financial statements; and (2) a reasonable investor with knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances would reach the same conclusion. In making this determination, the Audit Committee considered, among other things, PwC’s description of the relevant lending relationships, PwC’s interpretation of the Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) and PwC’s representation that its independence was not impaired in conducting its audit of the Funds’ financial statements.

PwC advised the Audit Committee that it believes it is independent and it continues to have discussions with the SEC’s Staff to resolve this interpretive matter. PwC further advised the Audit Committee that this matter did not compromise or impair its objectivity in connection with its audits of the Funds’ financial statements. These discussions with the Staff remain ongoing and, while PwC represented to the Audit Committee that it feels confident that PwC’s interpretation of the Loan Rule is correct, neither PwC nor the Audit Committee can be certain of the final outcome.

If the SEC were ultimately to determine that PwC was not independent with respect to the Funds for certain periods, the Funds’ filings with the SEC which contain the Funds’ financial statements for such periods would be non-compliant with the applicable securities laws. If the SEC determines that PwC was not independent, among other


things, the Funds may be required to have independent audits conducted on the Funds’ previously audited financial statements by another independent registered public accounting firm for the affected periods. The time involved to conduct such independent audits may impair the Funds’ ability to issue shares. Any of the foregoing potentially could have a material adverse effect on the Funds.

ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

(a) As of February 12, 2016, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the officers of the Registrant, including the PEO and PFO, to assess the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Registrant’s officers, including the PEO and PFO, concluded that, as of February 12, 2016, the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were reasonably designed to ensure: (1) that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant on Form N-CSR is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (2) that material information relating to the Registrant is made known to the PEO and PFO as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) There have been no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Act) that occurred during the second fiscal quarter of the period covered by the report that has materially


  affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
