Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in
other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and
then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes
that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the
Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 30% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests mainly in common stocks of companies that are involved in mining, processing or dealing in
gold or other metals or minerals, gold bullion, other physical metals, and precious metals-related ETFs and may invest all of its assets in those securities. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s
net assets, plus any borrowings for investment
1 Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund
invesco.com/usO-GSM-SUMPRO-1
purposes, will be invested in those
securities, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund will concentrate its investments without limit in the metals, mining and minerals industries.
The Fund may invest
up to 20% of its total assets in gold or silver bullion, in other precious metals, in metals naturally occurring with precious metals, in certificates representing an ownership interest in those metals, and in gold or silver coins. The
Fund’s investment in shares of exchange-traded funds and other exchange-traded products that invest in gold bullion (Gold ETFs) are subject to this investment restriction.
The Fund may invest in U.S. or foreign companies, including companies in
developing or emerging markets, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles. The Fund has no limit on its foreign investments. The Fund may buy securities issued by companies of any size or market capitalization range and at
times might increase its emphasis on securities of issuers in a particular capitalization range.
As part of its process for identifying investment opportunities, the Fund
relies primarily on evaluations of a company’s fundamentals. It also assesses a
company’s financial statements and management structure, as well as the company’s operations and new developments. To arrive at buy and sell decisions, the Fund considers the growth potential and the valuations of the stocks of particular
companies.
The Fund can also invest up to 25% of its total assets in the
Subsidiary. The Subsidiary will invest in gold bullion and other precious metals, Gold ETFs,
commodity-linked derivatives related to gold or other special minerals (including commodity futures, financial futures, options and swap contracts), and certain fixed-income securities and other investments that may serve as margin or collateral for its
derivatives positions. Investments in the Subsidiary are intended to provide the Fund with exposure to minerals commodities market returns within the limitations of the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. In
managing the Subsidiary's portfolio, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser”) will be subject to the same operational guidelines that apply to the management of the Fund. The Fund applies its investment restrictions and
compliance policies and procedures, on a look-through basis, to the Subsidiary.
The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary may vary based on the portfolio
manager’s use of gold bullion and other precious metals, Gold ETFs, different types of
commodity-linked derivatives, fixed-income securities and other investments. Since the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in the Subsidiary, which may hold certain of the investments described in this prospectus, the Fund may
be considered to be investing indirectly in those investments through its Subsidiary and subject to the risks associated with any investments of the Subsidiary. Therefore, references in this prospectus to
investments by the Fund include the Fund’s indirect investments through the Subsidiary.
In addition to investing in derivative instruments through the Subsidiary,
the Fund may also invest directly in derivative instruments, including options. The Fund may use
options, including covered call options, for liquidity, hedging and investment purposes. Up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets can be subject to call options the Fund sells. However, the Fund will not write or purchase any call
option that will cause the value of the Fund’s calls on a particular security to exceed 3% of the Fund’s total assets.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any
mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a
deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund
are:
Market Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably.
Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of
the Fund’s investments may go up or
down due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate
earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, economic crisis
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the
Fund will rise in value.
Investing in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and
may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each
other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same
direction at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more
dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings
reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks, or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in
response to events affecting the market for those types of securities.
Investments in Mining, Minerals and Metal Industry Securities Risk. Investments in mining, minerals and metal industry companies may be speculative and may be subject to greater
price volatility than investments in other types of companies. The special risks of mining,
minerals and metal industry investments include:
■
changes in international monetary policies or economic and political conditions can affect the supply of gold and precious metals and consequently the value of mining, minerals
and metal company investments;
■
the United States or foreign governments may pass laws or regulations limiting metal investments for strategic
or other policy reasons;
■
the principal supplies of gold are concentrated in the following countries or territories, including but not
limited to China, Australia, Russia and certain other former Soviet Union countries, Canada and
the United States, the governments of which may pass laws or regulations limiting metal
investments for strategic or other policy reasons; and
■
increased environmental or labor costs may depress the value of mining, minerals and metal
investments.
Foreign Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in
economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or
increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure,
nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies
generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. There may
be less public information available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign
securities risk also involves the risk of
2 Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund
invesco.com/usO-GSM-SUMPRO-1
negative foreign currency rate
fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may
fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful.
Emerging Market Securities Risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility,
political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental
limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Such
countries’ economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries or investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Companies in emerging market countries generally may be subject to
less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed countries. As a result, information, including financial information, about such
companies may be less available and reliable, which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly
and unpredictably, and the ability to bring and enforce actions (including bankruptcy, confiscatory
taxation, expropriation, nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions on foreign
ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country, protectionist measures and practices such as share blocking), or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited. In addition, the
ability of foreign entities to participate in privatization programs of certain developing or emerging market countries may be limited by local law. Investments in emerging market securities may be subject to
additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information.
Gold Bullion
Risk. To the extent the Fund invests in gold bullion, appreciation in the market price is the sole manner in which the Fund can realize gains, and such investments
may incur higher storage and custody costs as compared to purchasing, holding and selling more traditional investments.
Investments in metals entail the risk that the Fund might not qualify as a
“regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the Code) and its income might become subject to income taxes, reducing returns to shareholders.
Geographic Focus
Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited
number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance.
Canada Investment
Risk. Due to the Fund’s potentially significant exposure to companies that are domiciled in Canada, the Fund is particularly sensitive to political, economic
and social conditions in that country. Canada is a major producer of metals. The Canadian economy is especially dependent on the demand for, and supply of, natural resources, and the Canadian market is
relatively concentrated in issuers involved in the production and distribution of natural resources. Any adverse events that affect Canada’s major industries may have a negative impact on the overall Canadian economy and the
shares of the Fund.
Depositary Receipts Risk. Investing in
depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder
communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the
foreign issuer.
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in
securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is
associated with investing in larger, more established companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of
success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer
financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile
and less liquid than those of more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities
often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of larger
companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable
price when it wants to sell them. Since small- and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. It may
take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all.
Growth Investing
Risk. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of
its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth
companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time. Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during
past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price
and the securities of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may also be more volatile than other securities because of investor
speculation.
Subsidiary Risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The Subsidiary is not registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and, except as otherwise noted in this prospectus, is not subject to the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the
Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus and the SAI, and could negatively affect
the Fund and its shareholders.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or
other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity
risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk
because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a
position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset
could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or
3 Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund
invesco.com/usO-GSM-SUMPRO-1
price. This risk may be more acute under
adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that
could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market
segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Commodity-Linked Notes Risk. In addition to risks associated with the underlying commodities, investments in commodity-linked notes may be
subject to additional risks, such as non-payment of interest and loss of principal, counterparty
risk, lack of a secondary market and risk of greater volatility than traditional equity and debt securities. The value of the commodity-linked notes the Fund buys may fluctuate significantly because the values of the underlying
investments to which they are linked are themselves volatile. Additionally, certain commodity-linked notes employ “economic” leverage by requiring payment by the issuer of an amount that is a multiple of the
price increase or decrease of the underlying commodity, commodity index, or other economic variable. Such economic leverage will increase the volatility of the value of these commodity-linked notes and the Fund to the extent it invests in
such notes.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. In addition to the risks associated with the underlying assets held by the exchange-traded fund, investments in exchange-traded funds are subject
to the following additional risks: (1) an exchange-traded fund’s shares may trade above or below its net asset value; (2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund’s shares may not develop or be
maintained; (3) trading an exchange-traded fund’s shares may be halted by the listing exchange; (4) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may not track the performance of the reference asset; and (5) a passively managed
exchange-traded fund may hold troubled securities. Investment in exchange-traded funds may involve
duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its
proportionate share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain exchange-traded funds in which the Fund may invest are leveraged, which may result in economic leverage, permitting the Fund
to gain exposure that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument and potentially resulting in greater volatility.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values,
liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee that the Adviser’s investment
techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve
its investment objective.
Performance
Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund has adopted the performance of the Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the
predecessor fund into the Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar
chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a
broad measure of market performance and an additional index with characteristics relevant to the Fund. The Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of
how the Fund will perform in the future.
The returns shown for periods ending on or
prior to May 24, 2019 are those of the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the
predecessor fund. Class A, Class C, Class
R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class
C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from the returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses. Performance for Class A shares has been restated to reflect the Fund’s applicable sales charge.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements. Performance
returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
All Fund performance shown assumes the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains and the effect of the Fund’s expenses.

Performance shown prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund's Class A
shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to that class. Although invested
in the same portfolio of securities, Class R5 shares' returns of the Fund will be different from Class A shares' returns of the predecessor fund as they have different
expenses.

Effective August 28, 2024, the Fund changed its broad-based securities market benchmark from the MSCI World
Index (Net) to the MSCI ACWI ex USA® Index (Net) to reflect that the MSCI ACWI ex USA® Index (Net) can be considered more broadly representative of the overall applicable securities
market.
After-tax returns are calculated using the
historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax

The Fund will discontinue sales of its Class R5 shares to new investors after the close of business on September 30, 2024. With respect to Class R5 and Class R6 shares, there is no
minimum initial investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a
retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other
Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For all other institutional investors purchasing Class R5 or Class R6
shares, the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment
is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or
(ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to
retail investors.
Tax Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement
account. Any distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the
intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related
services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other
intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
