Dear Shareholders:

This annual report contains information about your Trust and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. Inside, you’ll find a discussion from your portfolio managers about how they managed your Trust, performance data for your Trust, a complete list of your Trust’s investments as of the close of the reporting period and other important information. I hope you find this report of interest.

The reporting period covered by this report was challenging. As it began, investors cheered generally positive economic indicators, and markets generally rose. Soon, however, US economic data turned mixed and investors’ attention shifted to the efforts of eurozone governments to implement new policies intended to reduce debt levels, strengthen the banking system and stimulate economic growth. Later in the year, in the US, mixed economic data and

  

competing proposals on how to reduce the federal budget deficit increased investor uncertainty and hindered market performance. Throughout the reporting period, your Trust’s portfolio managers adhered to their long-term investment strategies, and later in this report they explain why your Trust performed as it did during the reporting period.

Adhering to your long-term investment plan can be difficult, particularly during periods of market volatility and economic uncertainty. That’s one reason Invesco suggests investors work with a skilled and trusted financial adviser who is familiar with their financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance. A good financial adviser can provide insight and perspective when markets are volatile; encouragement and reassurance when times are uncertain; and advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Timely insight and information from many of Invesco’s investment professionals is available at our website, invesco.com/us. We offer in-depth articles, video clips and audio commentaries from many of our portfolio managers and other investment professionals on a wide range of topics of interest to investors. At invesco.com/us, you also can access information about your Invesco account at any time.

What we mean by Intentional Investing

At Invesco, all of our people and all of our resources are dedicated to helping investors achieve their financial objectives. It’s a philosophy we call Intentional Investing®, and it guides the way we:

  n  

Manage investments – Our dedicated investment professionals search for the best opportunities, and each investment team follows a clear, disciplined process to build portfolios and mitigate risk.

  n  

Provide choices – We offer a range of strategies so you and your financial adviser can build an investment portfolio designed for your individual needs and goals.

  n  

Connect with you – We’re committed to giving you the expert insights you need to make informed investing decisions, and we are well-equipped to provide high-quality support for investors and advisers.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

While short-term challenges for the financial markets regularly come and go, it’s clear that significant and longer term economic obstacles remain both here at home and abroad. There appear to be no easy solutions to many of these issues. As a result, the financial markets have had little conviction to respond to what has been slow, yet noticeable improvement in some economic benchmarks in recent months.

No one likes uncertainty, especially financial markets. But even in these uncertain times, it appears that investors are still approaching the market with cautious optimism, with some taking on more risk in order to refocus on their long-term savings goals.

Maybe this describes you, or perhaps you have been sitting on the sidelines thinking about getting back into the market, but are still a bit hesitant to act because of market uncertainty.

  

Clearly, risk remains a primary focus for investors of all types. As Trustees of the Invesco Funds, one of our primary responsibilities is to ensure your Trust’s adviser is cognizant of the risks in each of the trusts it manages. A thoughtful risk management plan may help investors navigate through market turbulence or an economic downturn. This is why we make risk management a critical element of our annual contract renewal process, like the one we complete with Invesco every year.

To be sure, there will always be risks involved with investing, but you shouldn’t let short-term news or your emotions dictate your investments. Because no one can predict with 100% accuracy the movements of financial markets, I strongly encourage you to speak with a professional financial adviser who can assist you in building an investment portfolio that reflects your individual risk tolerance and is designed to help achieve your individual financial objectives.

You can be sure your Board remains committed to doing its part in helping you along the way. In addition to ensuring that your Trust’s adviser is focused on the risks in the trusts it manages, we also remain committed to managing trust costs and working with your Trust’s adviser to provide a compelling and diversified product offering to potentially meet your investing goals.

Let me close by thanking Carl Frischling upon his retirement from the Invesco Funds Board for his 35 years of distinguished service. 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 investment needs.

Sincerely,

Management’s Discussion of Trust Performance

 

 

 

Performance summary

The Trust’s return can be calculated based on either the market price or the net asset value (NAV) of its shares. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Trust’s portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities and preferred shares, by the total number of common shares outstanding. Market price reflects the supply and demand for Trust shares. As a result, the two returns can differ, as they did during the reporting period. A main contributor to the Trust’s return on an NAV basis was its allocation to hospital bonds.

 

 

Performance

Total returns, 2/29/12 to 2/28/13

 

Trust at NAV       9.27 %
Trust at Market Value       2.38  
Barclays Municipal Bond Index‚       5.01  
           
Market Price Discount to NAV as of 2/28/13       -4.41

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return, 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.

 

 

How we invest

We seek to provide investors with current income exempt from federal income tax. We seek to achieve the Trust’s investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Trust’s total assets in investment-grade municipal securities. Municipal securities include general obligation and revenue securities such as municipal bonds, municipal notes and municipal commercial paper. The Trust does not purchase securities that are in default or rated in categories lower than B by Standard and Poor’s or B3 by Moody’s or unrated securities of comparable quality.1 From time to time, we may invest in municipal securities that pay interest that is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

We employ a bottom-up, research-driven approach to identify securities that have attractive risk-reward characteristics for the sectors in which we invest. We also integrate macroeconomic analysis and forecasting into our evaluation and ranking of various sectors and individual securities. Finally, we employ leverage in an effort to enhance the Trust’s income and total return.

Sell decisions are generally based on:

n  

A deterioration or likely deterioration of an individual issuer’s capacity to meet its debt obligations on a timely basis.

n  

A deterioration or likely deterioration of the broader fundamentals of a particular industry or sector.

n  

Opportunities in the secondary or primary market to exchange into a security with better relative value.

 

 

 

Market conditions and your Trust

For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, the municipal market produced yet another year of positive performance. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 5.01%, outperforming other fixed income indexes such as the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, which returned 3.12%; the Barclays Asset-Backed Securities Index, which returned 2.64%; the Barclays U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, which returned 1.92%; and the Barclays U.S. Agency Index, which returned 1.88%.2

    During the reporting period, municipal issuance, or lack thereof, coupled with strong net inflows into municipal bond funds, resulted in a favorable environment for municipal performance. Municipal bond issuance ended 2012 with $379 billion in gross new issues.3 While the gross figure reflects a 29% increase from the 2011 level, it also marks the second consecutive year of net negative supply.3 Concerns regarding tax reform and general economic uncertainty led investors to flock into municipal bond funds, and net inflows for calendar year 2012 were over $50 billion4, a stark contrast from the $12 billion in net outflows that the category experienced in calendar year 2011.4

    The financial situation at the state level generally continues to improve, as evidenced by the growth in tax revenues, which have increased for 11 consecutive quarters, according to data collected by the Rockefeller Institute.5 The 11 quarters of growth in state tax collections came after five straight quarters of declines in collections were posted immediately following the recession.5 Year-over-year state tax revenues increased by 2.7% in the third quarter of 2012, the most recent data available.4 Despite these positive trends, overall tax collections remain weak compared to recent history. Nevertheless, state tax revenues were 1.4% higher in the third quarter of 2012 than they were in the same quarter

of 2008.5

4                Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust

    As we approached the end of the reporting period, we expected political, headline and event risk to remain elevated in 2013 as lawmakers consider various options to close the federal spending gap. We recognize that difficult budget and policy decisions are needed, and as a result we are avoiding investments that are highly dependent on federal aid.

    Trust performance was also driven by BBB-AAA1 credit quality spread tightening for most of the reporting period, largely a result of continued declining yields, strong demand and low tax-exempt issuance. As a result, BBB-rated and lower credit quality sectors outperformed higher-rated credits and contributed to performance as we held overweight exposure to these market segments. The Trust’s non-rated exposure and our allocation within AA-rated issues also contributed to performance.

    At a sector level, our allocation to hospital bonds was the main contributor to Trust returns for the reporting period. Our exposure to state general obligation bonds detracted from returns.

    In terms of the yield curve positioning, the Trust’s exposure to the long end (20+ years) of the curve contributed to returns as yields declined during most of the reporting period. Some of our yield curve and duration positioning was implemented through the use of structural leverage.

    One important factor affecting the return of the Trust relative to the Barclays Municipal Bond Index was the Trust’s use of structural leverage. The Trust uses leverage because we believe that, over time, leveraging can provide opportunities for additional income and total return for common shareholders. However, the use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional volatility. For example, if the prices of securities held by a trust decline, the negative effect of these valuation changes on common share net asset value and common shareholder total return is magnified by the use of leverage. Conversely, leverage may enhance common share returns during periods when the prices of securities held by a trust generally are rising.

    During the reporting period, the Trust achieved a leveraged position through the use of inverse floating rate securities and Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred (VMTP) shares. Inverse floating rate securities are instruments that have an inverse relationship to a referenced interest rate. VMTPs are a variable rate form of preferred stock with a mandatory redemption date. Inverse floating rate securities and VMTPs can be a more efficient

means by which to manage duration, yield curve exposure and credit exposure and potentially can enhance yield. As of the close of the reporting period, leverage accounted for 35% of the Trust’s total assets. During the reporting period, the use of leverage added to returns. For more information about the Trust’s use of leverage, see the Notes to Financial Statements later in this report.

    The Trust trades at a market price that may be at a premium or discount to NAV. For most of the reporting period, the Trust fluctuated between trading at a premium and trading at a discount to its underlying NAV. The Trust traded at a discount at the end of the reporting period.

    Thank you for investing in Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

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 Trust. Under the Plan, the money you earn from dividends and capital gains distributions will be reinvested automatically in more shares of your Trust, allowing you to potentially increase your investment over time.

 

 

Plan benefits

n  

Add to your account:

You may increase the amount of shares in your Trust easily and automatically with the Plan.

n  

Low transaction costs:

Transaction costs are low because the new shares are bought in blocks and the brokerage commission is shared among all participants.

n  

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 via the Internet. To do this, please go to invesco.com/us.

n  

Safekeeping:

The Agent will hold the shares it has acquired for you in safekeeping.

 

 

How to participate in the Plan

If you own shares in your own name, you can participate directly 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

To enroll in the Plan, please read the Terms and Conditions in the Plan brochure. You can enroll in the Plan by visiting invesco.com/us, calling toll-free 800 341 2929 or notifying us in writing at Invesco Closed-End Funds, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, Rl 02940-3078. Please include your 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 one week before such Distributions are paid. If your authorization arrives after such record date, your participation in the Plan will begin with the following Distributions.

 

How the Plan Works

If you choose to participate in the Plan, whenever your Trust declares such Distributions, it will be invested in additional shares of your Trust that are purchased on the open market.

 

 

Costs of the Plan

There is no direct charge to you for reinvesting Distributions because the Plan’s fees are paid by your Trust. However, you will pay your portion of any per share fees incurred when the new shares are purchased on the open market. These fees are typically less than the standard brokerage charges for individual transactions, because shares are purchased for all Participants in blocks, resulting in lower commissions for each individual Participant. Any per share or service fees are averaged into 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 U.S. 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, visiting invesco.com/us or by writing to Invesco Closed-End Funds, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, Rl 02940-3078. 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 have signed 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 shares, whole shares will be held by the Agent and fractional shares will be sold. The proceeds will be sent via check to your address of record after deducting per share fees. Per share fees include 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 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 stock certificate. You should contact your financial adviser to learn more about any restrictions or fees that may apply.

Note that the Plan may be amended by the Trust at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Plan participants.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

(a)  Principal and/or interest payments are secured by the bond insurance company listed.
(b)  Underlying security related to Dealer Trusts entered into by the Trust. See Note 1I.
(c)  Security has an irrevocable call by the issuer or mandatory put by the holder. Maturity date reflects such call or put.
(d)  Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on February 28, 2013.
(e)  Zero coupon bond issued at a discount.
(f)  Advance refunded; secured by an escrow fund of U.S. Government obligations or other highly rated collateral.
(g)  Security subject to the alternative minimum tax.
(h)  Security is subject to a shortfall 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 Dealer Trusts. In case of a shortfall, the maximum potential amount of payments the Trust could ultimately be required to make under the agreement is $16,525,000. However, such shortfall payment would be reduced by the proceeds from the sale of the security underlying the Dealer Trusts.
(i)  Demand security payable upon demand by the Trust at specified time intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on February 28, 2013.
(j)  Principal and interest payments are fully enhanced by a letter of credit from the bank listed or a predecessor bank, branch or subsidiary.
(k)  Current coupon rate for inverse floating rate municipal obligations. This rate resets periodically as the rate on the related security changes. Positions in inverse floating rate municipal obligations have a total value of $4,145,188 which represents 0.55% of the Trust’s Net Assets.
(l)  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 value of this security at February 28, 2013 represented 0.38% of the Trust’s Net Assets.
(m)  This table provides a listing of those entities that have either issued, guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of more than 5% of the securities held in the portfolio. In instances where the entity has guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality of a security, it is not primarily responsible for the issuer’s obligations but may be called upon to satisfy the issuer’s obligations.

At February 28, 2013, the Trust’s investments with a value of $345,456,898 are held by Dealer Trusts and serve as collateral for the $195,485,000 in the floating rate note obligations outstanding at that date.

Notes to Financial Statements

February 28, 2013

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust (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. Prior to October 15, 2012, the Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The Trust’s investment objective is to provide current income which is exempt from federal income tax.

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. 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.

 

23                         Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust

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 is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.

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 Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and 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. Federal Income Taxes — The Trust intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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.

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.

F. 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.
G. 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.
H. 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.
I. Floating Rate Note Obligations — The Trust invests in inverse floating rate securities, such as Residual Interest Bonds (“RIBs”) or Tender Option Bonds (“TOBs”) for investment purposes and to enhance the yield of the Trust. Inverse floating rate investments 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. Such transactions may be purchased in the secondary market without first owning the underlying bond or by the sale of fixed rate bonds by the Trust to special purpose trusts established by a broker dealer (“Dealer Trusts”) in exchange for cash and residual interests in the Dealer Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate securities. The Dealer 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 Dealer Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the Dealer Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The residual interests held by the Trust (inverse floating rate investments) 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 Dealer Trusts to the Trust, thereby collapsing the Dealer Trusts.

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, 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 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.

 

24                         Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust

The Trust accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Dealer 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 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 Dealer Trusts as a component of Interest, facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of Operations.

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 the changes in the value of such securities in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security 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 interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Trust, the Trust will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Trust could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.

J. 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 Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“ARPS”) and floating rate note obligations, if any.
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 a 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”). Effective September 25, 2012, under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Trust pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of 0.55% of the Trust’s average weekly 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). Prior to September 25, 2012, under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Trust paid an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of 0.27% of the Trust’s average weekly net assets.

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 Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Trust, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Trust based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).

Effective October 15, 2012, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through October 31, 2014, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Trust’s expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 0.50%. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Trust’s expenses to exceed the limit reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Trust has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on October 31, 2014. For the period March 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012, the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Trust’s expenses to 0.70%.

For the year ended February 28, 2013, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,234,276.

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 year ended February 28, 2013, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.

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.

 

25                         Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust

  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 February 28, 2013, 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—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” also include amounts accrued by the Trust to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Trusts in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Trust may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Trust to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust.

NOTE 5—Cash Balances and Borrowings

The Trust is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, 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.

Inverse floating rate obligations resulting from the transfer of bonds to Dealer Trusts are accounted for as secured borrowings. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fees related to inverse floating rate note obligations during the year ended February 28, 2013 were $126,915,769 and 0.73%, respectively.

NOTE 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012:

 

     2013        2012  

Tax-exempt income

   $ 30,449,764         $ 20,866,274   

Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:

 

     2013  

Undistributed ordinary income

   $ 2,384,237   

Net unrealized appreciation — investments

     102,920,353   

Temporary book/tax differences

     (257,171 ) 

Capital loss carryforward

     (73,165,120 ) 

Shares of beneficial interest

     722,600,925   

Total net assets

   $ 754,483,224   

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Trust’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to TOBs and book to tax accretion and amortization differences.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Trust’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

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. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, 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. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers 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 carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

 

26                         Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust

The Trust utilized $1,995,199 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Trust has a capital loss carryforward as of February 28, 2013, which expires as follows:

 

Capital Loss Carryforward*

    $ 71,199,013       $ 1,966,107       $ 73,165,120   

 

* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that unrealized gains as of October 15, 2012, the date of reorganization of Invesco Quality Municipal Investment Trust and Invesco Quality Municipal Securities into the Trust, are realized on securities held in each fund at such date of reorganization, the capital loss carryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization.

NOTE 7—Investment Securities

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 year ended February 28, 2013 was $132,850,675 and $105,063,318, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

 

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities

   $ 102,920,353   

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,039,578,444.

NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of VMTP Shares, proxy costs and taxable income, on February 28, 2013, undistributed net investment income was increased by $185,255 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $185,255. Further, as a result of tax deferrals acquired in the reorganization of Invesco Quality Municipal Investment Trust and Invesco Quality Municipal Securities into the Trust, undistributed net investment income was increased by $946,935, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $35,652,623 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $34,705,688. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets of the Trust.

NOTE 9—Auction Rate Preferred Shares

The Trust is authorized to issue Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“ARPS”). From June 20, 2012 to June 22, 2012, the Trust redeemed all of its outstanding ARPS at their respective liquidation preference, including accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, through redemption date. The redemptions were funded with cash and proceeds received from the issuance of VMTP Shares.

Historically, the Trust paid annual fees equivalent to 0.25% of the ARPS liquidation value for the remarketing efforts associated with the auction. Effective March 31, 2009, the Trust decreased this amount to 0.15% due to auction failures. These fees were terminated on June 22, 2012 when the last of the Trust’s outstanding ARPS were redeemed. These fees are included as a component of Interest, facilities and maintenance fees expense on the Statement of Operations.

Dividends on the ARPS, which are cumulative, are reset through auction procedures.

The Trust was subject to certain restrictions relating to the ARPS. Failure to comply with these restrictions could have precluded the Trust from declaring any distributions to common shareholders or purchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of ARPS at liquidation value.

 

27                         Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust

Beginning February 19, 2008 and continuing through June 22, 2012, all series of ARPS of the Trust were not successfully remarketed. As a result, the dividend rates of these ARPS were reset to the maximum applicable rate.

NOTE 10—Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares

On May 17, 2012, the Trust issued 1,168 Series 2015/12-IQI VMTP Shares, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share pursuant to an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Proceeds from the issuance of VMTP Shares on May 17, 2012 were used to redeem all of the Trust’s outstanding ARPS. In addition, the Trust issued 971 Series 2015/12-IQI VMTP Shares in connection with the reorganization of Invesco Quality Municipal Securities and Invesco Quality Municipal Investment Trust into the Trust with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share. VMTP Shares are a floating-rate form of preferred shares with a mandatory redemption date. The Trust is required to redeem all outstanding VMTP Shares on December 1, 2015, 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 are being amortized over the 3  1⁄2 year life of the VMTP Shares. Amortization of these costs is included in Interest, facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of Operations and the unamortized balance is included in Deferred offering costs 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 1.15% per annum plus the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index (the “SIFMA” Index). Subsequent rates are determined based upon changes in the SIFMA Index and take into account a ratings spread of 1.15% to 4.05% which is based on the long term preferred share ratings assigned to the VMTP Shares by a ratings agency. The average liquidation value outstanding and the average annualized dividend rate of the VMTP Shares during the year ended February 28, 2013 were $162,989,931 and 1.30%, respectively.

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 the mandatory redemption of VMTP Shares at liquidation value.

For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation value of VMTP Shares, which are considered debt of the Trust, is recorded as a liability under the caption Variable rate muni term preferred shares on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.

(a) As of the open of business on October 15, 2012, Invesco Quality Municipal Investment Trust and Invesco Quality Municipal Securities (the “Target Trusts”) merged with and into the Trust pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Trustees of the Trust on November 30, 2011 and by the shareholders of the Target Trusts on August 14, 2012. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 29,378,532 shares of the Trust for 13,865,371 shares outstanding of Invesco Quality Municipal Investment Trust and 13,454,167 shares outstanding of Invesco Quality Municipal Securities as of the close of business on October 12, 2012. Common shares of the Target Trusts were exchanged for common shares of the Trust, based on the relative net asset value of the Target Trusts to the net asset value of the Trust on the close of business, October 12, 2012. Invesco Quality Municipal Investment Trust’s net assets as of the close of business on October 12, 2012 of $206,182,005, including $30,279,478 of unrealized appreciation and Invesco Quality Municipal Securities’ net assets as of the close of business on October 12, 2012 of $212,175,416, including $29,550,008 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the Trust. The net assets of the Trust immediately before the reorganization were $334,634,947 and $752,992,368 immediately after the reorganization.
         The pro forma results of operations for the year ended February 28, 2013, assuming the reorganization had been completed on March 1, 2012, the beginning of the annual reporting period are as follows:

 

Net investment income

    $ 42,312,373   

Net realized/unrealized gains

      23,424,969   

Change in net assets resulting from operations

    $ 65,737,342   

 

         The combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Trusts that have been included in the Trust’s Statement of Operations since October 15, 2012.

         The Trust may, when appropriate, purchase shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at a price not above market value or net asset value, whichever is lower at the time of purchase.

NOTE 14—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 Trust received two shareholder demand letters dated July 16, 2010 and March 25, 2011. The shareholder in the July 16, 2010 demand letter alleged that the former Adviser and certain individuals breached their fiduciary duties and wasted Trust assets by causing the Trust to redeem Auction Rate Preferred Securities (“ARPS”) at their liquidation value at the expense of the Trust and common shareholders. The shareholder in the demand letter dated March 25, 2011 alleged that the Adviser and certain current board and officers of the Trust breached their fiduciary duties and wasted Trust assets by causing the Trust to redeem ARPS at their liquidation value, although the actions complained of occurred prior to the election of the current board and appointment of current officers and prior to the tenure of the current adviser. The shareholders in both letters claimed that the Trust was not obliged to provide liquidity to the preferred shareholders, the redemptions were improperly motivated to benefit the Adviser, and the market value and fair value of the ARPS were less than liquidation value at the time they were redeemed. The shareholders demand that: 1) the Board take action against the Adviser and individuals to recover damages; 2) the Board refrain from authorizing further redemptions or repurchases of ARPS by the Trust at prices in excess of fair value or market value at the time of the transaction; and 3) the Board institute corporate governance measures. The Board formed a Special Litigation Committee (“SLC”) to investigate these claims and make a recommendation to the Board regarding whether pursuit of these claims is in the best interests of the Trust. Upon completion of its evaluation, the SLC recommended that the Board reject the demands specified in the shareholder demand letters, after which the Board publicly announced on July 12, 2011, that it had adopted the SLC’s recommendation and voted to reject the demands. The Trust is not the subject of a lawsuit in connection with this demand letter. The Trust has accrued $63,631 in expenses relating to these matters during the year ended February 28, 2013.

Management of Invesco and the Trust believe that the outcome of the demand letter described above will have no material adverse effect on the Trust or on the ability of Invesco to provide ongoing services to the Trust.

The Invesco Quality Municipal Investment Trust (“Trust”), which merged into the Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust received a shareholder demand letter dated September 1, 2010 alleging that the certain individuals and the former Adviser breached their fiduciary duties and wasted Trust assets by causing the Trust to redeem Auction Rate Preferred Securities (“ARPS”) at their liquidation value at the expense of the Trust and common shareholders. The shareholder claimed that the Trust was not obliged to provide liquidity to preferred shareholders, the redemptions were improperly motivated to benefit the Adviser, and the market value and fair value of the ARPS were less than par at the time they were redeemed. The shareholder demanded that: 1) the Board take action against the prior adviser and individuals to recover damages and 2) the Board refrain from authorizing further redemptions or repurchases of ARPS by the Trust at prices in excess of fair value or market value at the time of the transaction. The Board formed a Special Litigation Committee (“SLC”) to investigate these claims and to make a recommendation to the Board regarding whether pursuit of these claims is in the best interests of the Trusts. Upon completion of its evaluation, the SLC recommended that the Board reject the demands specified in the shareholder demand letter, after which the Board publicly announced on July 12, 2011, that it had adopted the SLC’s recommendation and voted to reject the demands. The Trust is not the subject of a lawsuit in connection with this demand letter.

Management of Invesco and the Trust believe that the outcome of the demand letter described above will have no material adverse effect on the Trust or on the ability of Invesco to provide ongoing services to the Trust.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets and of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust (hereafter referred to as the “Trust”) at February 28, 2013, the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, the period ended February 28, 2011 and the year ended October 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Trust’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at February 28, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights of the Trust for the periods ended October 31, 2009 and prior were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated December 24, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

To the extent that such services were provided, the Audit Committee determined that the provision of such services is compatible with PWC maintaining independence with respect to the Registrant.

PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

As adopted by the Audit Committees of

the Invesco Funds (the “Funds”)

Last Amended May 4, 2010

Statement of Principles

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (“Rules”), the Audit Committees of the Funds’ (the “Audit Committees”) Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of independent accountants (an “Auditor”). As part of this responsibility and to assure that the Auditor’s independence is not impaired, the Audit Committees pre-approve the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by each Auditor, as well as all non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Funds’ investment adviser and to affiliates of the adviser that provide ongoing services to the Funds (“Service Affiliates”) if the services directly impact the Funds’ operations or financial reporting. The SEC Rules also specify the types of services that an Auditor may not provide to its audit client. The following policies and procedures comply with the requirements for pre-approval and provide a mechanism by which management of the Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business operations.

Proposed services either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committees (“general pre-approval”) or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees (“specific pre-approval”). As set forth in these policies and procedures, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committees. Additionally, any fees exceeding 110% of estimated pre-approved fee levels provided at the time the service was pre-approved will also require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will also consider the impact of additional fees on the Auditor’s independence when determining whether to approve any additional fees for previously pre-approved services.

The Audit Committees will annually review and generally pre-approve the services that may be provided by each Auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee generally on an annual basis. The term of any general pre-approval runs from the date of such pre-approval through September 30th of the following year, unless the Audit Committees consider a different period and state otherwise. The Audit Committees will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

The purpose of these policies and procedures is to set forth the guidelines to assist the Audit Committees in fulfilling their responsibilities.

Delegation

The Audit Committees may from time to time delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members who are Independent Trustees. All decisions to pre-approve a service by a delegated member shall be reported to the Audit Committees at the next quarterly meeting.

Audit Services

The annual audit services engagement terms will be subject to specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures such as tax provision work that is required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements. The Audit Committees will obtain, review and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement, the Audit Committees may grant either general or specific pre-approval of other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include services such as issuing consents for the inclusion of audited financial statements with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.

Non-Audit Services

The Audit Committees may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any non-audit services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committees believe that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor, is consistent with the SEC’s Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committees’ general principles and policies as set forth herein.

Audit-Related Services

“Audit-related services” are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; and agreed-upon procedures related to mergers, compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities.

Tax Services

“Tax services” include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds’ federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committees will scrutinize carefully the retention of the Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the major business purpose of which may be tax avoidance or the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committees will consult with the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisors as necessary to ensure the consistency of Tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy.

No Auditor shall represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.

Under rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and approved by the SEC, in connection with seeking Audit Committees’ pre-approval of permissible Tax services, the Auditor shall:

 

  1. Describe in writing to the Audit Committees, which writing may be in the form of the proposed engagement letter:

 

  a. The scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the Fund, relating to the service; and

 

  b. Any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor and any person (other than the Fund) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service;

 

  2. Discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor; and

 

  3. Document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committees.

All Other Auditor Services

The Audit Committees may pre-approve non-audit services classified as “All other services” that are not categorically prohibited by the SEC, as listed in Exhibit 1 to this policy.

Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Established Amounts

Pre-approval of estimated fees or established amounts for services to be provided by the Auditor under general or specific pre-approval policies will be set periodically by the Audit Committees. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum estimated pre-approved fees or established amounts for pre-approved audit and non-audit services will be reported to the Audit Committees at the quarterly Audit Committees meeting and will require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will always factor

in the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services and in determining whether to approve any additional fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fees or established amounts for previously pre-approved services.

Procedures

Generally on an annual basis, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”) will submit to the Audit Committees for general pre-approval, a list of non-audit services that the Funds or Service Affiliates of the Funds may request from the Auditor. The list will describe the non-audit services in reasonable detail and will include an estimated range of fees and such other information as the Audit Committee may request.

Each request for services to be provided by the Auditor under the general pre-approval of the Audit Committees will be submitted to the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Treasurer or his or her designee will ensure that such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committees. The Audit Committees will be informed at the next quarterly scheduled Audit Committees meeting of any such services for which the Auditor rendered an invoice and whether such services and fees had been pre-approved and if so, by what means.

Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committees shall be submitted to the Audit Committees jointly by the Fund’s Treasurer or his or her designee and the Auditor, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, such request is consistent with the policies and procedures and the SEC Rules.

Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees will describe in writing: (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the audit client, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement between the Auditor and any person (other than the audit client) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the Auditor’s independence and will document the substance of the discussion.

Non-audit services pursuant to the de minimis exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committees for approval, including documentation that each of the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the SEC Rules, has been satisfied.

On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will prepare a summary of all the services provided to any entity in the investment company complex as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X in sufficient detail as to the nature of the engagement and the fees associated with those services.

The Audit Committees have designated the Funds’ Treasurer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Auditor and to ensure such services are in compliance with these policies and procedures. The Funds’ Treasurer will report to the Audit Committees on a periodic basis as to the results of such monitoring. Both the Funds’ Treasurer and management of Invesco will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committees any breach of these policies and procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds’ Treasurer or senior management of Invesco.

Relevant Law and Other Sources    Investment Advisers Act of 1940

Policy/Procedure Owner    Advisory Compliance, Proxy Committee
Policy Approver    Invesco Risk Management Committee
Approved/Adopted Date    March 2012

The following policies and procedures apply to all institutional accounts, clients and funds managed by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”). These policies and procedures do not apply to any of the retail funds managed by Invesco. See Section I.2 for the proxy policies and procedures applicable to Invesco’s retail funds.

A. POLICY STATEMENT

Invesco has responsibility for making investment decisions that are in the best interests of its clients. As part of the investment management services it provides to clients, Invesco may be authorized by clients to vote proxies appurtenant to the shares for which the clients are beneficial owners.

Invesco believes that it has a duty to manage clients’ assets in the best economic interests of its clients and that the ability to vote proxies is a client asset.

Invesco reserves the right to amend its proxy policies and procedures from time to time without prior notice to its clients.

Voting of Proxies

Invesco will vote client proxies relating to equity securities in accordance with the procedures set forth below unless a non-ERISA client retains in writing the right to vote, the named fiduciary (e.g., the plan sponsor) of an ERISA client retains in writing the right to direct the plan trustee or a third party to vote proxies, or Invesco determines that any benefit the client might gain from voting a proxy

 

March 2012   I.1 - 1

would be outweighed by the costs associated therewith. In addition, due to the distinct nature of proxy voting for interests in fixed income assets and stable value wrap agreements, the proxies for such fixed income assets and stable value wrap agreements will be voted in accordance with the procedures set forth in the “Proxy Voting for Fixed Income Assets and Stable Value Wrap Agreements” section below.

Best Economic Interests of Clients

In voting proxies, Invesco will take into consideration those factors that may affect the value of the security and will vote proxies in a manner in which, in its opinion, is in the best economic interests of clients. Invesco endeavors to resolve any conflicts of interest exclusively in the best economic interests of clients.

B. OPERATING PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBLE PARTIES

ISS’ Services

Invesco has contracted with Institutional Shareholder Services Inc.(“ISS”), an independent third party service provider, to vote Invesco’s clients’ proxies according to ISS’ proxy voting recommendations determined by ISS pursuant to its then-current US Proxy Voting Guidelines, a summary of which can be found at http://www.issgovernance.com and which are deemed to be incorporated herein. In addition, ISS provides proxy analyses, vote recommendations, vote execution and record-keeping services for clients for which Invesco has proxy voting responsibility. On an annual basis, the Proxy Committee will review information obtained from ISS to ascertain whether ISS (i) has the capacity and competency to adequately analyze proxy issues, and (ii) can make such recommendations in an impartial manner and in the best economic interests of Invesco’s clients. This may include a review of ISS’ Policies, Procedures and Practices Regarding Potential Conflicts of Interest and obtaining information about the work ISS does for corporate issuers and the payments ISS receives from such issuers.

Custodians forward to ISS proxy materials for clients who rely on Invesco to vote proxies. ISS is responsible for exercising the voting rights in accordance with the ISS proxy voting guidelines. If Invesco receives proxy materials in connection with a client’s account where the client has, in writing, communicated to Invesco that the client, plan fiduciary or other third party has reserved the right to vote proxies, Invesco will forward to the party appointed by client any proxy materials it receives with respect to the account. In order to avoid voting proxies in circumstances where Invesco, or any of its affiliates have or may have any conflict of interest, real or perceived, Invesco has engaged ISS to provide the proxy analyses, vote recommendations and voting of proxies.

In the event that (i) ISS recuses itself on a proxy voting matter and makes no recommendation or (ii) Invesco decides to override the ISS vote recommendation, the Proxy Committee will review the issue and direct ISS how to vote the proxies as described below.

 

March 2012   I.1 - 2

Proxy Voting for Fixed Income Assets and Stable Value Wrap Agreements

Some of Invesco’s fixed income clients hold interests in preferred stock of companies and some of Invesco’s stable value clients are parties to wrap agreements. From time to time, companies that have issued preferred stock or that are parties to wrap agreements request that Invesco’s clients vote proxies on particular matters. ISS does not currently provide proxy analysis or vote recommendations with respect to such proxy votes. Therefore, when a particular matter arises in this category, the investment team responsible for the particular mandate will review the matter and make a recommendation to the Proxy Manager as to how to vote the associated proxy. The Proxy Manager will complete the proxy ballots and send the ballots to the persons or entities identified in the ballots.

Proxy Committee

The Proxy Committee shall have seven (7) members, which shall include representatives from portfolio management, operations, and legal/compliance or other functional departments as deemed appropriate and who are knowledgeable regarding the proxy process. A majority of the members of the Proxy Committee shall constitute a quorum and the Proxy Committee shall act by a majority vote of those members in attendance at a meeting called for the purpose of determining how to vote a particular proxy. The Proxy Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings that shall be kept with the proxy voting records of Invesco. The Proxy Committee will appoint a Proxy Manager to manage the proxy voting process, which includes the voting of proxies and the maintenance of appropriate records.

The Proxy Manager shall call for a meeting of the Proxy Committee (1) when override submissions are made; and (2) in instances when ISS has recused itself or has not provided a vote recommendation with respect to an equity security. At such meeting, the Proxy Committee shall determine how proxies are to be voted in accordance with the factors set forth in the section entitled “Best Economic Interests of Clients,” above.

The Proxy Committee also is responsible for monitoring adherence to these procedures and engaging in the annual review described in the section entitled “ISS’ Services,” above.

Recusal by ISS or Failure of ISS to Make a Recommendation

When ISS does not make a recommendation on a proxy voting issue or recuses itself due to a conflict of interest, the Proxy Committee will review the issue and determine whether Invesco has a material conflict of interest as determined pursuant to the policies and procedures outlined in the “Conflicts of Interest” section below. If Invesco determines it does not have a material conflict of interest, Invesco will direct ISS how to vote the proxies. If Invesco determines it does have a material conflict of interest, the Proxy Committee will follow the policies and procedures set forth in such section.

Override of ISS’ Recommendation

There may be occasions where Invesco investment personnel, senior officers or a member of the Proxy Committee seek to override an ISS recommendation if they believe that an ISS recommendation is not in accordance with the best economic interests of clients. In the event that an individual listed above in this section disagrees with an ISS recommendation on a particular voting issue, the individual shall document in writing the reasons that he/she believes that the ISS recommendation is not in accordance with clients’ best economic interests and submit such written documentation to the Proxy Manager for consideration by the Proxy Committee along with the certification attached as Appendix A hereto. Upon review of the documentation and consultation with the individual and others as the Proxy Committee deems appropriate, the Proxy Committee may make a determination to override the ISS voting recommendation if the Committee determines that it is in the best economic interests of clients and the Committee has addressed any conflict of interest.

Proxy Committee Meetings

When a Proxy Committee Meeting is called, whether because of an ISS recusal or request for override of an ISS recommendation, the Proxy Committee shall request from the Chief Compliance Officer as to whether any Invesco person has reported a conflict of interest.

The Proxy Committee shall review the report from the Chief Compliance Officer to determine whether a real or perceived conflict of interest exists, and the minutes of the Proxy Committee shall:

 

  (1) describe any real or perceived conflict of interest,

 

  (2) determine whether such real or perceived conflict of interest is material,

 

  (3) discuss any procedure used to address such conflict of interest,

 

  (4) report any contacts from outside parties (other than routine communications from proxy solicitors), and

 

  (5) include confirmation that the recommendation as to how the proxies are to be voted is in the best economic interests of clients and was made without regard to any conflict of interest.

Based on the above review and determinations, the Proxy Committee will direct ISS how to vote the proxies as provided herein.

Certain Proxy Votes May Not Be Cast

In some cases, Invesco may determine that it is not in the best economic interests of clients to vote proxies. For example, proxy voting in certain countries outside

 

March 2012   I.1 - 4

the United States requires share blocking. Shareholders who wish to vote their proxies must deposit their shares 7 to 21 days before the date of the meeting with a designated depositary. During the blocked period, shares to be voted at the meeting cannot be sold until the meeting has taken place and the shares have been returned to the Custodian/Sub-Custodian bank. In addition, voting certain international securities may involve unusual costs to clients, some of which may be related to requirements of having a representative in person attend the proxy meeting. In other cases, it may not be possible to vote certain proxies despite good faith efforts to do so, for instance when inadequate notice of the matter is provided. In the instance of loan securities, voting of proxies typically requires termination of the loan, so it is not usually in the best economic interests of clients to vote proxies on loaned securities. Invesco typically will not, but reserves the right to, vote where share blocking restrictions, unusual costs or other barriers to efficient voting apply. Invesco will not vote if it determines that the cost of voting exceeds the expected benefit to the client. The Proxy Manager shall record the reason for any proxy not being voted, which record shall be kept with the proxy voting records of Invesco.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Procedures to Address Conflicts of Interest and Improper Influence

In order to avoid voting proxies in circumstances where Invesco or any of its affiliates have or may have any conflict of interest, real or perceived, Invesco has contracted with ISS to provide proxy analyses, vote recommendations and voting of proxies. Unless noted otherwise by ISS, each vote recommendation provided by ISS to Invesco shall include a representation from ISS that ISS has no conflict of interest with respect to the vote. In instances where ISS has recused itself or makes no recommendation on a particular matter, or if an override submission is requested, the Proxy Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy and instruct the Proxy Manager accordingly, in which case the conflict of interest provisions discussed below shall apply.

In effecting the policy of voting proxies in the best economic interests of clients, there may be occasions where the voting of such proxies may present a real or perceived conflict of interest between Invesco, as the investment manager, and Invesco’s clients. For each director, officer and employee of Invesco (“Invesco person”), the interests of Invesco’s clients must come first, ahead of the interest of Invesco and any Invesco person, including Invesco’s affiliates. Accordingly, no Invesco person may put “personal benefit,” whether tangible or intangible, before the interests of clients of Invesco or otherwise take advantage of the relationship with Invesco’s clients. “Personal benefit” includes any intended benefit for oneself or any other individual, company, group or organization of any kind whatsoever, except a benefit for a client of Invesco, as appropriate. It is imperative that each Invesco person avoid any situation that might compromise, or call into question, the exercise of fully independent judgment that is in the interests of Invesco’s clients.

 

March 2012   I.1 - 5

Occasions may arise where a person or organization involved in the proxy voting process may have a conflict of interest. A conflict of interest may exist if Invesco has a business relationship with (or is actively soliciting business from) either the company soliciting the proxy or a third party that has a material interest in the outcome of a proxy vote or that is actively lobbying for a particular outcome of a proxy vote. Additional examples of situations where a conflict may exist include:

 

  •  

Business Relationships – where Invesco manages money for a company or an employee group, manages pension assets or is actively soliciting any such business, or leases office space from a company;

 

  •  

Personal Relationships – where an Invesco person has a personal relationship with other proponents of proxy proposals, participants in proxy contests, corporate directors, or candidates for directorships; and

 

  •  

Familial Relationships – where an Invesco person has a known familial relationship relating to a company (e.g. a spouse or other relative who serves as a director of a public company or is employed by the company).

In the event that the Proxy Committee determines that Invesco (or an affiliate) has a material conflict of interest, the Proxy Committee will not take into consideration the relationship giving rise to the conflict of interest and shall, in its sole discretion, either (a) decide to vote the proxies pursuant to ISS’ general proxy voting guidelines, (b) engage an independent third party to provide a vote recommendation, or (c) contact Invesco’s client(s) for direction as to how to vote the proxies.

In the event an Invesco person has a conflict of interest and has knowledge of such conflict of interest, it is the responsibility of such Invesco person to disclose the conflict to the Chief Compliance Officer. When a Proxy Committee meeting is called, the Chief Compliance Officer will report to the Proxy Committee all real or potential conflicts of interest for the Proxy Committee to review and determine whether such conflict is material. If the Proxy Committee determines that such conflict is material and involves a person involved in the proxy voting process, the Proxy Committee may require such person to recuse himself or herself from participating in the discussions regarding the proxy vote item and from casting a vote regarding how Invesco should vote such proxy. An Invesco person will not be considered to have a material conflict of interest if the Invesco person did not know of the conflict of interest and did not attempt to influence the outcome of a proxy vote.

In order to ensure compliance with these procedures, the Proxy Manager and each member of the Proxy Committee shall certify annually as to their compliance with this policy. In addition, any Invesco person who submits an ISS override recommendation to the Proxy Committee shall certify as to their compliance with this policy concurrently with the submission of their override recommendation. A form of such certification is attached as Appendix A.

 

March 2012   I.1 - 6

In addition, members of the Proxy Committee must notify Invesco’s Chief Compliance Officer, with impunity and without fear of retribution or retaliation, of any direct, indirect or perceived improper influence exerted by any Invesco person or by an affiliated company’s representatives with regard to how Invesco should vote proxies. The Chief Compliance Officer will investigate the allegations and will report his or her findings to the Invesco Risk Management Committee. In the event that it is determined that improper influence was exerted, the Risk Management Committee will determine the appropriate action to take, which actions may include, but are not limited to, (1) notifying the affiliated company’s Chief Executive Officer, its Management Committee or Board of Directors, (2) taking remedial action, if necessary, to correct the result of any improper influence where clients have been harmed, or (3) notifying the appropriate regulatory agencies of the improper influence and cooperating fully with these regulatory agencies as required. In all cases, the Proxy Committee shall not take into consideration the improper influence in determining how to vote proxies and will vote proxies solely in the best economic interests of clients.

C. RECORDKEEPING

Records are maintained in accordance with Invesco’s Recordkeeping Policy.

Proxy Voting Records

The proxy voting statements and records will be maintained by the Proxy Manager on-site (or accessible via an electronic storage site of ISS) for the first two (2) years. Copies of the proxy voting statements and records will be maintained for an additional five (5) years by Invesco (or will be accessible via an electronic storage site of ISS). Clients may obtain information about how Invesco voted proxies on their behalf by contacting their client services representative. Alternatively, clients may make a written request for proxy voting information to: Proxy Manager, 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309.

Portfolio Manager Fund Holdings and Information on Other Managed Accounts

Invesco’s portfolio managers develop investment models which are used in connection with the management of certain Invesco Funds as well as other mutual funds for which Invesco or an affiliate acts as sub-adviser, other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered mutual funds, and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals. The ‘Investments’ chart reflects the portfolio managers’ investments in the Funds that they manage. Accounts are grouped into three categories: (i) investments made directly in the Fund, (ii) investments made in an Invesco pooled investment vehicle with the same or similar objectives and strategies as the Fund, and (iii) any investments made in any Invesco Fund or Invesco pooled investment vehicle. The ‘Assets Managed’ chart reflects information regarding accounts other than the Funds for which each portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities. Accounts are grouped into three categories: (i) other registered investment companies, (ii) other pooled investment vehicles and (iii) other accounts. To the extent that any of these accounts pay advisory fees that are based on account performance (performance-based fees), information on those accounts is specifically broken out. In addition, any assets denominated in foreign currencies have been converted into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates as of the applicable date.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one Fund or other account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple Funds and/or other accounts may be presented with one or more of the following potential conflicts:

 

  •  

The management of multiple Funds and/or other accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each Fund and/or other account. The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser seek to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most other accounts managed by a portfolio manager are managed using the same investment models that are used in connection with the management of the Funds.

 

  •  

If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one Fund or other account, a Fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible Funds and other accounts. To deal with these situations, the Adviser, each Sub-Adviser and the Funds have adopted procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across multiple accounts.

 

 

1 This column reflects investments in a Fund’s shares beneficially owned by a portfolio manager (as determined in accordance with Rule 16a-1(a) (2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Beneficial ownership includes ownership by a portfolio manager’s immediate family members sharing the same household.
2 This column reflects portfolio managers’ investments made either directly or through a deferred compensation or a similar plan in Invesco pooled investment vehicles with the same or similar objectives and strategies as the Fund as of the most recent fiscal year end of the Fund.
3 This column reflects the combined holdings from both the “Dollar Range of all Investments in Funds and Invesco pooled investment vehicles” and the “Dollar Range of Investments in each Fund” columns.
4 These are accounts of individual investors for which Invesco provides investment advice. Invesco offers separately managed accounts that are managed according to the investment models developed by its portfolio managers and used in connection with the management of certain Invesco Funds. These accounts may be invested in accordance with one or more of those investment models and investments held in those accounts are traded in accordance with the applicable models.

  •  

The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser determine which broker to use to execute each order for securities transactions for the Funds, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, for certain other accounts (such as mutual funds for which Invesco or an affiliate acts as sub-adviser, other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered mutual funds, and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals), the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, trades for a Fund in a particular security may be placed separately from, rather than aggregated with, such other accounts. Having separate transactions with respect to a security may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the possible detriment of the Fund or other account(s) involved.

 

  •  

Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where the Adviser or Sub-Adviser has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of one Fund or account but not all Funds and accounts for which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.

The Adviser, each Sub-Adviser, and the Funds have adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

Description of Compensation Structure

For the Adviser and each affiliated Sub-Adviser

The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser seek to maintain a compensation program that is competitively positioned to attract and retain high-caliber investment professionals. Portfolio managers receive a base salary, an incentive bonus opportunity and an equity compensation opportunity. Portfolio manager compensation is reviewed and may be modified each year as appropriate to reflect changes in the market, as well as to adjust the factors used to determine bonuses to promote competitive Fund performance. The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser evaluate competitive market compensation by reviewing compensation survey results conducted by an independent third party of investment industry compensation. Each portfolio manager’s compensation consists of the following three elements:

Base Salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary. In setting the base salary, the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser’s intention is to be competitive in light of the particular portfolio manager’s experience and responsibilities.

Annual Bonus. The portfolio managers are eligible, along with other employees of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, to participate in a discretionary year-end bonus pool. The Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd. reviews and approves the amount of the bonus pool available for the Adviser and each of the Sub-Adviser’s investment centers. The Compensation Committee considers investment performance and financial results in its review. In addition, while having no direct impact on individual bonuses, assets under management are considered when determining the starting bonus funding levels. Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus which is based on quantitative (i.e. investment performance) and non-quantitative factors (which may include, but are not limited to, individual performance, risk management and teamwork).

Each portfolio manager’s compensation is linked to the pre-tax investment performance of the Funds/accounts managed by the portfolio manager as described in Table 1 below.

High investment performance (against applicable peer group and/or benchmarks) would deliver compensation generally associated with top pay in the industry (determined by reference to the third-party provided compensation survey information) and poor investment performance (versus applicable peer group) would result in low bonus compared to the applicable peer group or no bonus at all. These decisions are reviewed and approved collectively by senior leadership which has responsibility for executing the compensation approach across the organization.

Deferred / Long-Term Compensation. Portfolio managers may be granted an annual deferral award that allows them to select receipt of shares of certain Invesco Funds with a vesting period as well as common shares and/or restricted shares of Invesco Ltd. stock from pools determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd.’s Board of Directors. Awards of deferred / long-term compensation typically vest over time, so as to create incentives to retain key talent.

Portfolio managers also participate in benefit plans and programs available generally to all employees.

ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

(a) As of February 12, 2013, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the officers of the Registrant, including the Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), to assess the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Registrant’s officers, including the PEO and PFO, concluded that, as of February 12, 2013, 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.

 

5 Rolling time periods based on calendar year-end.
6 Portfolio Managers may be granted an annual deferral award that vests on a pro-rata basis over a four year period and final payments are based on the performance of eligible Funds selected by the portfolio manager at the time the award is granted.
7 Portfolio Managers for Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund and Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund base their bonus on new operating profits of the U.S. Real Estate Division of Invesco.
8 Invesco Senior Secured’s bonus is based on annual measures of equity return and standard tests of collateralization performance.
9 Portfolio Managers for Invesco Pacific Growth Fund’s compensation is based on the one-, three- and five-year performance against the appropriate Micropol benchmark.
