Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by
regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Trust’s shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Trust or from your financial
intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Trust’s website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder
reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Trust electronically by contacting your financial intermediary (such as
a broker-dealer or bank).
You may elect to
receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly
with the Trust, you can call 800 341 2929 to let the Trust know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with your financial intermediary or all
funds held with the fund complex if you invest directly with the Trust.

Dear Fellow
Shareholders:
As independent chair of the Invesco
Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management
services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment. This includes but is not limited to: monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions;
assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus; and monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the
services that your funds receive.
We believe one of
the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and
focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from
Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc. (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.
On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to
represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair
Invesco Funds Board of Trustees

The performance data quoted represent past performance and
cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return, net asset value (NAV) and common share market price will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Please visit
invesco.com/us for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect Trust expenses, the reinvestment of distributions (if any) and changes in NAV for performance based on NAV and changes in market price for performance based on
market price.
Since the Trust is a closed-end
management investment company, shares of the Trust may trade at a discount or premium from the NAV. This characteristic is separate and distinct from the risk that NAV could decrease as a result of investment activities and may be a greater risk to
investors expecting to sell their shares after a short time. The Trust cannot predict whether shares will trade at, above or below NAV. The Trust should not be viewed as a vehicle for trading purposes. It is designed primarily for risk-tolerant
long-term investors.
The S&P Municipal Bond Index is a broad, market value-weighted index that seeks to measure the performance of the US municipal bond market.
The S&P Municipal Bond New York 5+ Year Investment Grade Index seeks to measure the performance of investment grade, New York-issued US municipal with maturities equal to or greater than five years.
The Lipper Closed-End New York Municipal Debt Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of closed-end New York municipal debt funds tracked by Lipper. These funds limit assets to those securities that
are exempt from taxation in New York (double tax-exempt) or a city in New York (triple tax-exempt).
The Trust is not managed to track
the performance of any particular index, including the indexes described here, and consequently, the performance of the Trust may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.
A direct investment cannot be made
in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.
Important Notice Regarding Share Repurchase Program
In September 2019, the Trustees of the Trust approved a share repurchase
program that allows the Trust to repurchase up to 25% of the 20-day average trading
volume of the Trust’s common shares when the Trust is trading at a 10%
or greater discount to its net asset value. The Trust will repurchase shares pursu-
ant to this program if the Adviser reasonably believes that such repurchases
may enhance shareholder value.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The dividend reinvestment plan (the Plan) offers you a prompt and simple way
to reinvest your dividends and capital gains distributions (Distributions) into additional shares of your Invesco closed-end Trust (the Trust). Under the Plan, the money you earn from Distributions will be reinvested automatically in more shares of
the Trust, allowing you to potentially increase your investment over time. All shareholders in the Trust are automatically enrolled in the Plan when shares are purchased.
Plan benefits
■
|
Add to your account: |
|
You may increase your shares
in your Trust easily and automatically with the Plan. |
■
|
Low transaction costs:
|
|
Shareholders who participate
in the Plan may be able to buy shares at below-market prices when the Trust is trading at a premium to its net asset value (NAV). In addition, transaction costs are low because when new shares are issued by the Trust, there is no brokerage fee, and
when shares are bought in blocks on the open market, the per share fee is shared among all participants. |
■
|
Convenience:
|
|
You will receive a detailed
account statement from Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the Agent), which administers the Plan. The statement shows your total Distributions, date of investment, shares acquired, and price per share, as well as the total number of shares in your
reinvestment account. You can also access your account at invesco.com/closed-end. |
■
|
Safekeeping:
|
|
The Agent will hold the
shares it has acquired for you in safekeeping. |
Who can participate in the Plan
If you own shares in your own name, your purchase will automatically enroll
you in the Plan. If your shares are held in “street name” — in the name of your brokerage firm, bank, or other financial institution — you must instruct that entity to participate on your behalf. If they are unable to
participate on your behalf, you may request that they reregister your shares in your own name so that you may enroll in the Plan.
How to enroll
If you haven’t participated in the Plan in the past or chose to opt out,
you are still eligible to participate. Enroll by visiting invesco.com/closed-end, by calling toll-free 800 341 2929 or by notifying us in writing at Invesco Closed-End Funds, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 505000, Louisville, KY
40233-5000. If you are writing to us, please include the Trust name and account number and ensure that all shareholders listed on the account sign these written instructions. Your participation in the Plan will begin with the next Distribution
payable after the Agent receives your authorization, as long as they receive it before the “record date,” which is generally 10 business days before the Distribution is paid. If your authorization arrives after such record date, your
participation in the Plan will begin with the following Distribution.
How the Plan works
If you choose to participate in the Plan, your Distributions will be promptly
reinvested for you, automatically increasing your shares. If the Trust is trading at a share price that is equal to its NAV, you’ll pay that amount for your reinvested shares. However, if the Trust is trading above or below NAV, the price is
determined by one of two ways:
1.
|
Premium: If the Trust is
trading at a premium — a market price that is higher than its NAV — you’ll pay either the NAV or 95 percent of the market price, whichever is greater. When the Trust trades at a premium, you may pay less for your reinvested shares
than an investor purchasing shares on the stock exchange. Keep in mind, a portion of your price reduction may be taxable because you are receiving shares at less than market price. |
2.
|
Discount: If the Trust is
trading at a discount — a market price that is lower than its NAV — you’ll pay the market price for your reinvested shares. |
Costs of the Plan
There is no direct charge to you for reinvesting Distributions because the
Plan’s fees are paid by the Trust. If the Trust is trading at or above its NAV, your new shares are issued directly by the Trust and there are no brokerage charges or fees. However, if the Trust is trading at a discount, the shares are
purchased on the open market, and you will pay your portion of any per share fees. These per share fees are typically less than the standard brokerage charges for individual transactions because shares are purchased for all participants in blocks,
resulting in lower fees for each individual participant. Any service or per share fees are added to the purchase price. Per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Agent is required to pay.
Tax implications
The automatic reinvestment of Distributions does not relieve you of any income
tax that may be due on Distributions. You will receive tax information annually to help you prepare your federal income tax return.
Invesco does not offer tax advice. The tax information
contained herein is general and is not exhaustive by nature. It was not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used, by any taxpayer for avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer under US federal tax laws. Federal and state
tax laws are complex and constantly changing. Shareholders should always consult a legal or tax adviser for information concerning their individual situation.
How to withdraw from the Plan
You may withdraw from the Plan at any time by calling 800 341 2929, by
visiting invesco.com/closed-end or by writing to Invesco Closed-End Funds, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 505000, Louisville, KY 40233-5000. Simply indicate that you would like to withdraw from the Plan, and be sure to include your
Trust name and account number. Also, ensure that all shareholders listed on the account sign these written instructions. If you withdraw, you have three options with regard to the shares held in the Plan:
1.
|
If you opt to continue to hold
your non-certificated whole shares (Investment Plan Book Shares), they will be held by the Agent electronically as Direct Registration Book-Shares (Book-Entry Shares) and fractional shares will be sold at the then-current market price. Proceeds will
be sent via check to your address of record after deducting applicable fees, including per share fees such as any applicable brokerage commissions the Agent is required to pay. |
2.
|
If you opt to sell your shares
through the Agent, we will sell all full and fractional shares and send the proceeds via check to your address of record after deducting a $2.50 service fee and per share fees. Per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Agent is
required to pay. |
3.
|
You may sell your shares
through your financial adviser through the Direct Registration System (DRS). DRS is a service within the securities industry that allows Trust shares to be held in your name in electronic format. You retain full ownership of your shares, without
having to hold a share certificate. You should contact your financial adviser to learn more about any restrictions or fees that may apply. |
The Trust and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. may amend or
terminate the Plan at any time. Participants will receive at least 30 days written notice before the effective date of any amendment. In the case of termination, Participants will receive at least 30 days written notice before the record date for
the payment of any such Distributions by the Trust. In the case of amendment or termination necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules and policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority,
such written notice will not be required.

complete copy of the current Dividend Reinvestment Plan, please call our Client Services department at 800 341 2929 or visit invesco.com/closed-end.

Invesco Trust for Investment
Grade New York Municipals |
Notes to Schedule of Investments:
(a) |
Calculated as a percentage of
net assets. Amounts in excess of 100% are due to the Trust’s use of leverage. |
(b) |
Advance
refunded; secured by an escrow fund of U.S. Government obligations or other highly rated collateral. |
(c) |
Security
has an irrevocable call by the issuer or mandatory put by the holder. Maturity date reflects such call or put. |
(d) |
Security
subject to the alternative minimum tax. |
(e) |
Principal
and/or interest payments are secured by the bond insurance company listed. |
(f) |
Zero
coupon bond issued at a discount. |
(g) |
Security
is subject to a reimbursement agreement which may require the Trust to pay amounts to a counterparty in the event of a significant decline in the market value of the security underlying the TOB Trusts. In case of a shortfall, the maximum potential
amount of payments the Trust could ultimately be required to make under the agreement is $18,100,000. However, such shortfall payment would be reduced by the proceeds from the sale of the security underlying the TOB Trusts. |
(h) |
Underlying
security related to TOB Trusts entered into by the Trust. See Note 1J. |
(i) |
Security
purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to
qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2019 was $26,264,982, which represented 9.15% of the Trust’s Net Assets. |
(j) |
Defaulted
security. Currently, the issuer is partially or fully in default with respect to principal and/or interest payments. The value of this security at August 31, 2019 represented less than 1% of the Trust’s Net Assets. |
(k) |
Demand
security payable upon demand by the Trust at specified time intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rate is redetermined periodically by the issuer or agent based on current market conditions. Rate shown is the rate in effect on August
31, 2019. |
(l) |
Principal
and interest payments are fully enhanced by a letter of credit from the bank listed or a predecessor bank, branch or subsidiary. |
(m) |
Interest
or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on August 31, 2019. |
(n) |
Entities
may either issue, guarantee, back or otherwise enhance the credit quality of a security. The entities are not primarily responsible for the issuer’s obligation but may be called upon to satisfy issuer’s obligations. No concentration of
any single entity was greater than 5% each. |
(o) |
Floating
rate note obligations related to securities held. The interest and fee rates shown reflect the rates in effect at August 31, 2019. At August 31, 2019, the Trust’s investments with a value of $145,955,228 are held by TOB Trusts and serve as
collateral for the $89,750,000 in the floating rate note obligations outstanding at that date. |

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2019
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Trust for Investment Grade New York Municipals (the
“Trust”) 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 Trust’s investment objective is to provide common
shareholders with a high level of current income exempt from federal as well as from New York State and New York City income taxes, consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal market conditions, the Trust will invest at least 80% of its
total assets in New York municipal securities rated investment grade at the time of investment.
The Trust 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 Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.
A.
|
Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Securities are fair valued using an
evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as
institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for
debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a trust may hold or transact in the same securities in
smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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.
Securities for which market quotations
either 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. Some of the factors which
may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition; trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable
companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news; and other relevant factors under the circumstances.
The Trust 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 Trust 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 interest income and non-cash dividend
income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Trust may periodically participate
in litigation related to Trust investments. As such, the Trust may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as
unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are
considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized 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 Trust’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Trust’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 Trust and the investment adviser.
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 — The Trust declares and pays monthly dividends from net investment income to common shareholders. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and are distributed
on a pro rata basis to common and preferred shareholders. |
E.
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents
– For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Trust 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. |

|
Invesco Trust for Investment
Grade New York Municipals |
F.
|
Federal Income Taxes – The Trust intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to
distribute substantially all of the Trust’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Trust will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders.
Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Trust recognizes the tax benefits of
uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Trust’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to
uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
In addition, the Trust intends to invest
in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders “exempt dividends”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
The Trust files tax returns in the U.S.
Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Trust is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
G.
|
Interest, Facilities and
Maintenance Fees – Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees, rating and bank agent fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit
and Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares ("VMTP Shares"), and interest and administrative expenses related to establishing and maintaining floating rate note obligations, if any. |
H.
|
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 Trust 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.
|
I.
|
Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to
the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts, including the Trust’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these
arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
J.
|
Floating Rate Note Obligations – The Trust invests in inverse floating rate securities, such as Tender Option Bonds (“TOBs”), for investment purposes and to enhance the yield of the Trust. Such securities may be purchased in the
secondary market without first owning an underlying bond but generally are created through the sale of fixed rate bonds by the Trust to special purpose trusts established by a broker dealer or by the Trust (“TOB Trusts”) in exchange for
cash and residual interests in the TOB Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate securities. The TOB Trusts finance the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and
allowing the Trust to retain residual interests in the bonds. The floating rate notes issued by the TOB Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the TOB Trusts for
redemption at par at each reset date. The residual interests held by the Trust (inverse floating rate securities) include the right of the Trust (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest
rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the TOB Trust to the Trust, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust. Inverse floating rate securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment,
but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. |
The Trust generally invests in inverse
floating rate securities that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Trust to greater risks and increased costs. The primary risks associated with inverse floating rate securities are varying degrees of liquidity and decreases in the value of
such securities in response to changes in interest rates to a greater extent than fixed rate securities having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Trust’s net asset value to be more volatile than if
it had not invested in inverse floating rate securities. In certain instances, the short-term floating rate notes created by the TOB Trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such notes for
repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the TOB Trust holding the fixed rate bonds may be collapsed with the entity that contributed the fixed rate bonds to the TOB Trust. In the case where a TOB
Trust is collapsed with the Trust, the Trust will be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities, which may require the Trust to sell other portfolio holdings to raise cash to meet that obligation. The Trust could therefore be
required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price to raise cash to meet this obligation, which risk will be heightened during times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty. The embedded leverage in the TOB Trust
could cause the Trust to lose more money than the value of the asset it has contributed to the TOB Trust and greater levels of leverage create the potential for greater losses. In addition, a Trust may enter into reimbursement agreements with the
liquidity provider of certain TOB transactions in connection with certain residuals held by the Trust. These agreements commit a Trust to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide cash to a TOB Trust,
including following the termination of a TOB Trust resulting from a mandatory tender event (“liquidity shortfall”). The reimbursement agreement will effectively make the Trust liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any,
between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the purchase price of the floating rate notes issued by the TOB Trust.
The Trust accounts for the transfer of
fixed rate bonds to the TOB Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Trust’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Trust liabilities under the caption Floating rate note
obligations on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying amount of the Trust’s floating rate note obligations as reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value. The Trust records the interest income
from the fixed rate bonds under the caption Interest and records the expenses related to floating rate obligations and any administrative expenses of the TOB Trusts as a component of Interest, facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of
Operations.
Final rules
implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Volcker Rule”) prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limit such entities’
investments in, and relationships with, “covered funds”, as defined in the rules. These rules preclude banking entities and their affiliates from sponsoring and/or providing services for existing TOB Trusts. A new TOB structure is being
utilized by the Trust wherein the Trust, as holder of the residuals, will perform certain duties previously performed by banking entities as “sponsors” of TOB Trusts. These duties may be performed by a third-party service provider. The
Trust’s expanded
18
|
Invesco Trust for Investment
Grade New York Municipals |
role under the new TOB structure may increase its
operational and regulatory risk. The new structure is substantially similar to the previous structure; however, pursuant to the Volcker Rule, the remarketing agent would not be able to repurchase tendered floaters for its own account upon a failed
remarketing. In the event of a failed remarketing, a banking entity serving as liquidity provider may loan the necessary funds to the TOB Trust to purchase the tendered floaters. The TOB Trust, not the Trust, would be the borrower and the loan from
the liquidity provider will be secured by the purchased floaters now held by the TOB Trust. However, as previously described, the Trust would bear the risk of loss with respect to any liquidity shortfall to the extent it entered into a reimbursement
agreement with the liquidity provider.
Further, the SEC and various banking
agencies have adopted rules implementing credit risk retention requirements for asset-backed securities (the “Risk Retention Rules”). The Risk Retention Rules require the sponsor of a TOB Trust to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of
the underlying assets supporting the TOB Trust’s municipal bonds. The Trust has adopted policies intended to comply with the Risk Retention Rules. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect the Trust’s ability to engage in TOB Trust
transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.
There can be no assurances that the new
TOB structure will continue to be a viable form of leverage. Further, there can be no assurances that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Trust in order to maintain current levels of leverage. Any alternative forms of leverage may
be less advantageous to the Trust, and may adversely affect the Trust’s net asset value, distribution rate and ability to achieve its investment objective.
TOBs are presently classified as private
placement securities. Private placement securities are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or are otherwise not readily marketable. As a
result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although atypical, these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these
sales could be less than those originally paid by the Trust or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.
K.
|
Other Risks – The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders,
administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. |
Since many municipal securities are
issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and the Trust’s investments in municipal
securities.
There is some risk
that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to
Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master
investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser" or "Invesco"). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Trust accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of 0.55%
of the Trust’s average daily managed assets. Managed assets for this purpose means the Trust’s net assets, plus assets attributable to outstanding preferred shares and the amount of any borrowings incurred for the purpose of leverage
(whether or not such borrowed amounts are reflected in the Trust’s financial statements for purposes of GAAP).
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 Trust, 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 Trust based on the percentage of assets
allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The
Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Trust has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Trust. For the six months ended
August 31, 2019, expenses incurred under this agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State
Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Trust.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust 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 Trust’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
As of August 31, 2019, all of the securities
in this Trust were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those

securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values
reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Trust is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or
to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Trust from or to another fund
or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under
the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended August 31, 2019, the Trust engaged in securities purchases of $21,204,307 and securities sales of $11,489,621, which did
not result in any net realized gains (losses).
NOTE
5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Trust to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Trust. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Trust, and "Trustees’ and Officers’
Fees and Benefits" includes amounts accrued by the Trust to fund such deferred compensation amounts.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances and Borrowings
The Trust 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 Trust may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the
custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Trust may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s
total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
Inverse floating rate obligations resulting from the
transfer of bonds to TOB Trusts are accounted for as secured borrowings. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to inverse floating rate note obligations during the six months ended August 31,
2019 were $89,672,857 and 2.20%, respectively.
NOTE
7—Tax Information
The amount and character of
income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to 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.
The Trust had a capital loss carryforward as of February
28, 2019, 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
8—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 Trust during the six months ended August 31, 2019 was $24,787,385 and $28,230,000, respectively. Cost of
investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

NOTE 10—Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares
On May 9, 2012, the Trust issued 768 Series 2015/6-VTN VMTP
Shares, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share, pursuant to an offering exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. In addition, the Trust issued 136 Series 2015/6-VTN VMTP Shares in connection with the reorganization of Invesco New
York Quality Municipal Securities into the Trust with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share. Proceeds from the issuance of VMTP Shares on May 9, 2012 were used to redeem all of the Trust’s outstanding Auction Rate Preferred Shares
(“ARPS”). VMTP Shares are a floating-rate form of preferred shares with a mandatory redemption date and are considered debt for financial reporting purposes. On December 5, 2014, the Trust extended the term of the VMTP Shares and is
required to redeem all outstanding VMTP Shares on December 1, 2017, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or extended. On June 1, 2017, the Trust extended the term of the VMTP Shares and was required to redeem all outstanding VMTP Shares on December
1, 2019, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or extended. On June 1, 2019, the Trust extended the term of the VMTP Shares and is required to redeem all outstanding VMTP Shares on June 1, 2022, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or extended. VMTP
Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends and a redemption premium, if any. On or
prior to the redemption date, the Trust will be required to segregate assets having a value equal to 110% of the redemption amount.
The Trust incurred costs in connection with the issuance of
the VMTP Shares. These costs were recorded as a deferred charge and were amortized over the original 3 year life of the VMTP Shares. In addition, the Trust incurred costs in connection with the extension of the VMTP Shares that are recorded as a
deferred charge and are being amortized over the extended term. Amortization of these costs is included in Interest, facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of Operations, and the unamortized balance
is included in the value of Variable rate muni term preferred shares on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Dividends paid on the VMTP Shares (which are treated as
interest expense for financial reporting purposes) are declared daily and paid monthly. The initial rate for dividends was equal to the sum of 1.10% per annum plus the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index (the
"SIFMA" Index). As of August 31, 2019, the dividend rate is equal to the SIFMA Index plus a spread of 0.95%, which is based on the long term preferred share ratings assigned to the VMTP Shares by a ratings agency. The average aggregate liquidation
preference outstanding and the average annualized dividend rate of the VMTP Shares during the six months ended August 31, 2019 were $90,400,000 and 2.54%, respectively.
The Trust utilizes the VMTP Shares as leverage in order to
enhance the yield of its common shareholders. The primary risk associated with VMTP Shares is exposing the net asset value of the common shares and total return to increased volatility if the value of the Trust decreases while the value of the VMTP
Shares remain unchanged. Fluctuations in the dividend rates on the VMTP Shares can also impact the Trust’s yield or its distributions to common shareholders. The Trust is subject to certain restrictions relating to the VMTP Shares, such as
maintaining certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements. Failure to comply with these restrictions could preclude the Trust from declaring any distributions to common shareholders or purchasing common shares and/or could trigger an
increased rate which, if not cured, could cause the mandatory redemption of VMTP Shares at the liquidation preference plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.
The liquidation preference of VMTP Shares, which
approximates fair value, is recorded as a liability under the caption Variable rate muni term preferred shares on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The fair value of VMTP Shares is expected to be
approximately their liquidation preference so long as the credit rating on the VMTP Shares, and therefore the "spread" on the VMTP Shares (determined in accordance with the VMTP Shares’ governing document) remains unchanged. At period-end, the
Trust’s Adviser has determined that fair value of VMTP Shares is approximately their liquidation preference. Fair value could vary if market conditions change materially. Unpaid dividends on VMTP Shares are recognized as Accrued interest expense on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends paid on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of Interest, facilities and maintenance fees
on the Statement of Operations.

Invesco Trust for Investment
Grade New York Municipals |
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 10, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of Invesco Trust for
Investment Grade New York Municipals (the Fund) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Funds 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, 2019. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Funds investment advisory agreement and
the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair
and reasonable.
The Boards Evaluation Process
The
Boards 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). As part of a
regularly scheduled basis of in-person Board meetings, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management
to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and
Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Funds investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers
information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee
data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider. 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 Officers 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 throughout the year, 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 discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officers independent written evaluation with respect to the
Funds investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Boards approval of the Funds investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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. This information is current as of June 10, 2019.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services
provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Funds investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Funds portfolio
manager(s). The Boards review included consideration of Invesco Advisers investment process oversight and structure, 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, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading
and legal and compliance. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers parent company, and noted
Invesco Ltd.s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco
Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds following Invesco Ltd.s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. 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 the
Affiliated Sub-Advisers expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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. The Board did not view
Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently
manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Funds investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31,
2018 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Closed-End New York Municipal Debt Funds Index. The Board noted that the Funds performance was in the third
quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fifth quintile for the three year period and the fourth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst
performing funds). The Board noted that the Funds performance was below the performance of the Index for the one and three year periods and reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the five year period. The Board noted that
overweight exposure to and security selection in certain sectors and securities detracted from the Funds performance. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions. The Board also
reviewed supplementally historic premium and discount levels of the Fund as provided to the Board at meetings throughout the year.

for Investment Grade New York Municipals
C. |
Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
The Board compared the Funds contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Funds Broadridge expense group.
The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term contractual management fee for funds in the
expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The
Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each funds contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent audited
annual reports for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Funds total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other 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.
D. |
Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board noted that most closed-end funds do not have fund level breakpoints because
closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial asset growth after the initial public offering. The Board noted that the Fund does not benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints,
but does share in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board considered Invescos reinvestment in its business, including investments in business
infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
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 considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an
independent consultant. 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, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from
Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers 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. The Board considered the
organizational structure employed to provide these services.
The Board considered that the Funds uninvested cash may be invested in
money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the
costs to the Fund of such investments. 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 Funds investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash.

During the reporting period, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC (PwC) advised the Audit Committee of the following matters for
consideration under the SECs auditor independence rules. PwC advised the Audit Committee that a PwC Manager and a PwC Senior Associate each held financial interests in investment companies within the Invesco Fund Complex that were inconsistent
with the requirements of Rule 2-01(c)(1) of Regulation S-X. PwC noted, among other things, that during the time of its audit, the engagement team was not aware of the
investments, (or with respect to the PwC Senior Associate was not aware until after the investments were confirmed as SEC exceptions), the individuals were not in the chain of command of the audit or the audit partners of Invesco or the affiliate of
the Registrant, the services each individual provided were not relied upon by the audit engagement team with respect to the audit of the Registrant or its affiliates (or with respect to the PwC Senior Associate, the services were performed by an
individual who did not have decision-making responsibility for matters that materially affected the audit and were reviewed by team members at least two levels higher than the PwC Senior Associate), and the investments were not material to the net
worth of each individual or their respective immediate family members which they considered in reaching their conclusion. PwC advised the Audit Committee that it believes its objectivity and impartiality had not been adversely affected by these
matters as they related to the audit of the Registrant.
