report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.

    Class A share performance reflects the maximum 3.25% sales charge. Class B share performance reflects an early withdrawal charge of 3% for the first year after purchase. Class C share performance reflects an early withdrawal charge of 1% for the first year after purchase. Class IB shares, Class IC shares and Class B shares (after November 30, 2010) are not continuously offered and have no early withdrawal charges. Class Y shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, therefore performance is at net asset value. Class Y shares do not have early withdrawal charges.

    The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

    Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Letters to Shareholders

Bruce Crockett

   

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: ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time; 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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,

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

(a) Principal amount is denominated in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise noted.
(b) Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days but not greater than one year; and/or have interest rates that float at a margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank.
(c) Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years.
(d) Security valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 3.
(e) This variable rate interest will settle after August 31, 2017, at which time the interest rate will be determined.
(f) All or a portion of this holding is subject to unfunded loan commitments. Interest rate will be determined at the time of funding. See Note 9.
(g) All or a portion of this security is Pay-in-Kind. Pay-in-Kind securities pay interest income in the form of securities.
(h) Defaulted security. Currently, the issuer is partially or fully in default with respect to principal and/or interest payments. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2017 was $3,452,710, which represented less than 1% of the Fund’s Net Assets.
(i) The borrower has filed for protection in federal bankruptcy court.
(j) The borrower is in the process of restructuring or amending the terms of this loan.
(k) Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under 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 August 31, 2017 was $103,181,925, which represented 13.07% of the Fund’s Net Assets.
(l) Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on August 31, 2017.
(m) Securities acquired through the restructuring of senior loans.
(n) Non-income producing security.
(o) Affiliated company during the period. The Investment Company Act of 1940 defines an “affiliated person” as an issuance in which a fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The Fund has not owned enough of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer to have control (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of that issuer. The aggregate value of these securities as of August 31, 2017 was $4,532,541, which represented less than 1% of the Fund’s Net Assets. See Note 5.
(p) Calculated as a percentage of net assets. Amounts in excess of 100% are due to the Fund’s use of leverage.

Source: Standard & Poor’s. A credit rating is an assessment provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) of the creditworthiness of an issuer with respect to debt obligations, including specific securities, money market instruments or other debts. Ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest); ratings are subject to change without notice. “Non-Rated” indicates the debtor was not rated, and should not be interpreted as indicating low quality. For more information on Standard & Poor’s rating methodology, please visit standardandpoors.com and select “Understanding Ratings” under Rating Resources on the homepage.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Senior Loan Fund (the “Fund”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company.

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund invests primarily in adjustable rate senior loans (“Senior Loans”). Senior Loans are business loans that have a senior right to payment and are made to borrowers that may be corporations, partnerships, or other entities. These borrowers operate in a variety of industries and geographic regions. The Fund borrows money for investment purposes which may create the opportunity for enhanced return, but also should be considered a speculative technique and may increase the Fund’s volatility.

The Fund continuously offers Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. The Fund also has outstanding Class B, Class IB and Class IC shares which are not continuously offered. Each class of shares differs in its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”), the allocation of class-specific expenses and voting rights on matters affecting a single class.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.

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

A. Security Valuations — Variable rate senior loan interests are fair valued using quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.

 

29                         Invesco Senior Loan Fund


Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange) are valued based on the prices furnished by independent pricing services, in which case the securities may be considered fair valued, or by market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price.

Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The 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 Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash is recorded as interest income. Facility fees received may be amortized over the life of the loan. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

 

30                         Invesco Senior Loan Fund


Other income is comprised primarily of amendment fees which are recorded when received. Amendment fees are received in return for changes in the terms of the loan or note.

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 and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement 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 Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.

C. Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.
D. Distributions — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
E. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the 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.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F. Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees — Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit and interest and administrative expenses related to establishing and maintaining the credit agreement.
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 Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.
I. Cash and Cash Equivalents — For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes investments made with cash collateral received.
J. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis — The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date.
K.

Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends,

 

31                         Invesco Senior Loan Fund


  interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.

L. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk.

The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

M. Industry Focus — To the extent that the Fund invests a greater amount of its assets in securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industries, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. The value of these securities can be sensitive to changes in government regulation, interest rates and economic downturns in the U.S. and abroad.
N. Bank Loan Risk — Although the resale, or secondary market for floating rate loans has grown substantially over the past decade, both in overall size and number of market participants, there is no organized exchange or board of trade on which floating rate loans are traded. Instead, the secondary market for floating rate loans is a private, unregulated interdealer or interbank resale market. Such a market may therefore be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, and extended trade settlement periods, which may impair the Fund’s ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. Similar to other asset classes, bank loan funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk than an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Fund seeks to manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
O. Other Risks — The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured debt securities that are determined to be rated below investment grade. These securities are generally considered to have speculative characteristics and are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher rated securities. The value of lower quality debt securities and floating rate loans can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments.

The Fund invests in corporate loans from U.S. or non-U.S. companies (the “Borrowers”). The investment of the Fund in a corporate loan may take the form of participation interests or assignments. If the Fund purchases a participation interest from a syndicate of lenders (“Lenders”) or one of the participants in the syndicate (“Participant”), one or more of which administers the loan on behalf of all the Lenders (the “Agent Bank”), the Fund would be required to rely on the Lender that sold the participation interest not only for the enforcement of the Fund’s rights against the Borrower but also for the receipt and processing of payments due to the Fund under the corporate loans. As such, the Fund is subject to the credit risk of the Borrower and the Participant. Lenders and Participants interposed between the Fund and a Borrower, together with Agent Banks, are referred to as “Intermediate Participants”.

P. Leverage Risk — The Fund may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield of the Fund by borrowing. There are risks associated with borrowing in an effort to increase the yield and distributions on the shares, including that the costs of the financial leverage may exceed the income from investments made with such leverage, the higher volatility of the net asset value of the shares, and that fluctuations in the interest rates on the borrowing may affect the yield and distributions to the shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

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

 

Average Daily Net Assets   Rate  

First $500 million

    0 .90%   

Next $1 billion

    0 .85%   

Next $1 billion

    0 .825%   

Next $500 million

    0 .80%   

Over $3 billion

    0 .775%         

For the six months ended August 31, 2017, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.88%.

 

32                         Invesco Senior Loan Fund


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 Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2019, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.

The Fund has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the six months ended August 31, 2017, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

The Fund has entered into an administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs related to monitoring the provisions of the loan agreements and any agreements with respect to participations and assignments, record keeping responsibilities with respect to interests in Senior Loans in the Fund’s portfolio and providing certain services to the holders of the Fund’s securities. For the six months ended August 31, 2017, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serve as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services of the Fund.

Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class IC shares to compensate IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares and up to 1.00% each of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and up to 0.15% (0.25% maximum) of the average daily net assets of Class IC shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

With respect to Class B and Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class B and Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses.

For the six months ended August 31, 2017, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended August 31, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $2,506 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $4,794 from Class C shares for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are officers and directors of Invesco.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
  Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2017. 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.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period.

Securities determined to be Level 3 at the end of the reporting period were valued primarily by utilizing quotes from a third-party vendor pricing service. A significant change in third-party pricing information could result in a significantly lower or higher value in Level 3 investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments

The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Investments in Other Affiliates

The 1940 Act defines an “affiliated person” as an issuance in which a fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The Fund has not owned enough of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer to have control (as defined in the 1940 Act) of that issuer.

NOTE 6—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the six months ended August 31, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $3,190.

NOTE 7—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” includes amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts.

NOTE 8—Cash Balances and Borrowings

The Fund entered into a $375 million revolving credit and security agreement which will expire on November 17, 2017. The revolving credit agreement is secured by the assets of the Fund.

 

35                         Invesco Senior Loan Fund


During the six months ended August 31, 2017, the average daily balance of borrowing under the revolving credit and security agreement was $154,130,435 with a weighted interest rate of 0.97%. The carrying amount of the Fund’s Payable for borrowings as reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value. Expenses under the credit and security agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Interest, facilities and maintenance fees. The carrying amount of the Fund’s Payable for borrowings as reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value.

Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

NOTE 9—Unfunded Loan Commitments

As of August 31, 2017, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to the following loan agreements with the following borrowers:

NOTE 10—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 the Trust’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 the Trust’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 Trust 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.

 

36                         Invesco Senior Loan Fund


The Trust had a capital loss carryforward as of February 28, 2017, which expires as follows:

* 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.

NOTE 11—Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended August 31, 2017 was $279,716,831 and $315,968,126, respectively.

NOTE 13—Senior Loan Participation Commitments

The Fund invests in participations, assignments, or acts as a party to the primary lending syndicate of a Senior Loan interest to corporations, partnerships, and other entities. When the Fund purchases a participation of a Senior Loan interest, the Fund typically enters into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation, but not with the borrower directly. As such, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower, selling participant or other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower.

NOTE 17—Legal Proceedings

Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.

Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries

The Fund is named as a defendant in an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Florida. The complaint was filed on July 14, 2008 by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of TOUSA, Inc., on behalf of certain subsidiaries of TOUSA, Inc. (the “Conveying Subsidiaries”), and filed as amended on October 17, 2008. The Committee made allegations against the Fund in two separate capacities: as “Transeastern Lenders” and as “First Lienholders” (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Transeastern Lenders loaned money to form a joint venture between TOUSA, Inc. and Falcone/Ritchie LLC. TOUSA, Inc. later repaid the loans from the Transeastern Lenders as part of a global settlement of claims against it. The repayment was financed using proceeds of new loans (the “New Loans”), for which the Conveying Subsidiaries conveyed first and second priority liens on their assets to two groups of lienholders (the First and Second Lienholders, collectively “New Lenders”). The Conveying Subsidiaries were not obligated on the original debt to the Transeastern Lenders. The Committee alleged, inter alia, that both the repayment to the Transeastern Lenders and the grant of liens to the First and Second Lienholders should be avoided as fraudulent transfers under the bankruptcy laws. More specifically, the Committee alleged: (1) that the Conveying Subsidiaries’ transfer of liens to secure the New Loans was a fraudulent transfer under 11 U.S.C. § 548 because the Conveying Subsidiaries were insolvent at the time of the transfer and did not receive reasonably equivalent value for the liens; and (2) that the Transeastern Lenders were, under 11 U.S.C. § 550, entities for whose benefit the liens were fraudulently transferred to the New Lenders. The case was tried in 2009 and on October 13, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court rendered a Final Judgment against the Lenders, which was later amended on October 30, 2009, requiring the Lenders to post bonds equal to 110% of the damages and disgorgement ordered against them. The Transeastern Lenders and First Lienholders separately appealed the decision to the District Court for the Southern District of Florida. On February 11, 2011, the District Court, issued an order in the Transeastern Lenders’ appeal that: 1) quashed the Bankruptcy Court’s Order as it relates

 

44                         Invesco Senior Loan Fund


to the liability of the Transeastern Lenders; 2) made null and void the Bankruptcy Court’s imposition of remedies as to the Transeastern Lenders; 3) discharged all bonds deposited by Transeastern Lenders, unless any further appeals are filed, in which case the bonds would remain in effect pending resolution of appeals; 4) dismissed as moot additional appeal proceedings of the Transeastern Lenders that were contingent upon the District Court’s decision concerning liability; and 5) closed all District Court appeal proceedings concerning the Transeastern Lenders. The Committee appealed to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. In a decision filed on May 15, 2012, the Eleventh Circuit reversed the District Court’s opinion, affirmed the liability findings of the Bankruptcy Court against the Transeastern Lenders, and remanded the case to the District Court to review the remedies ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. The appeal of the Transeastern Lenders is currently pending before the District Court. The First Lienholders, having paid its obligations under the bankruptcy plan, have been fully and finally released pursuant to a court order dated August 30, 2013. The review of the Transeastern Lenders remedies obligation is currently pending before the District Court. The parties argued the effects of the Supreme Court decisions in Executive Benefits Ins. Agency v. Arkison (In re Bellingham) (No. 12-1200) and Wellness International Network, Ltd. v. Sharif (No. 13-935) on liabilities before the District Court, which denied that the cases were an intervening change in law that affected the liabilities decision. The District Court remanded to the Bankruptcy Court a question on the effect of the settlement with other parties on the Transeastern Lenders remedies obligations. On April 1, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court issued its report and recommendation, which was unfavorable in many respects to the Transeastern Lenders.

On March 8, 2017, the District Court adopted the Bankruptcy Court’s report and recommendation on the impact of the interim settlements, holding that the settlement with the Transeastern Lenders and settlement of the D&O litigation had no impact on the remedial scheme. The Transeastern Lenders appealed this decision in April 2017. The appeal is currently pending. While not certain, the current liability for the Fund is estimated to be no greater than $4,163,000. Invesco believes resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments 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 Fund for the period March 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Invesco Senior Loan Fund (the Fund) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with 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 and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.

In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.

During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his

responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in most cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.

In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship as contrasted with the

greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B. Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2016 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe comprised of all retail and institutional loan participation funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution and against the Lipper Loan Participation Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.

C. Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was at the median contractual

 

 

48                         Invesco Senior Loan Fund


management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted there were only two funds in the expense group. The Board also noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent public report for each fund in the expense group.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other funds or client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.

D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds advised by Invesco Advisers.

E. Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially

sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.    

F. Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash.

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 informed the Trust that it has identified an issue related to its independence under Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-X (referred to as the Loan Rule). The Loan Rule prohibits accounting firms, such as PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, from being deemed independent if they have certain financial relationships with their audit clients or certain affiliates of those clients. The Trust is required under various securities laws to have its financial statements audited by an independent accounting firm.

The Loan Rule specifically provides that an accounting firm would not be independent if it or certain affiliates and covered persons receives a loan from a lender that is a record or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of an audit client’s equity securities (referred to as a “more than ten percent owner”). For purposes of the Loan Rule, audit clients include the Funds as well as all registered investment companies advised by the Adviser and its affiliates, including other subsidiaries of the Adviser’s parent company, Invesco Ltd. (collectively, the Invesco Fund Complex). PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP informed the Trust it and certain affiliates and covered persons have relationships with lenders who hold, as record owner, more than ten percent of the shares of certain funds within the Invesco Fund Complex, which may implicate the Loan Rule.

On June 20, 2016, the SEC Staff issued a “no-action” letter to another mutual fund complex (see Fidelity Management & Research Company et al., No-Action Letter) related to the audit independence issue described above. In that letter, the SEC confirmed that it would not recommend enforcement action against a fund that relied on audit services performed by an audit firm that was not in compliance with the Loan Rule in certain specified circumstances. In connection with prior independence determinations, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP communicated, as contemplated by the no-action letter, that it believes that it remains objective and impartial and that a reasonable investor possessing all the facts would conclude that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is able to exhibit the requisite objectivity and impartiality to report on the Funds’ financial statements as the independent registered public accounting firm. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP also represented that it has complied with PCAOB Rule 3526(b)(1) and (2), which are conditions to the Funds relying on the no action letter, and affirmed that it is an independent accountant within the meaning of PCAOB Rule 3520. Therefore, the Adviser, the Funds and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP concluded that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP could continue as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm. The Invesco Fund Complex relied upon the no-action letter in reaching this conclusion.


If in the future the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is called into question under the Loan Rule by circumstances that are not addressed in the SEC’s no-action letter, the Funds will need to take other action in order for the Funds’ filings with the SEC containing financial statements to be deemed compliant with applicable securities laws. Such additional actions could result in additional costs, impair the ability of the Funds to issue new shares or have other material adverse effects on the Funds. In addition, the SEC has indicated that the no-action relief will expire 18 months from its issuance after which the Invesco Funds will no longer be able to rely on the letter unless its term is extended or made permanent by the SEC Staff.

ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

(a) As of August 11, 2017, 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 August 11, 2017, 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.
