SPECIAL JOINT MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To Be Held January 16, 2024
INTRODUCTION
This Joint Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”)1. Each of the separate funds within the Trust is referred to as a “Fund” and they are collectively referred to as the “Funds.” The proxies are to be voted at a Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders of the Funds, and all adjournments thereof (the “Meeting”), to be held at 11 Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas 77046 on January 16, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. The approximate mailing date of this Joint Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy card and voting instruction form is on or about November 27, 2023.
Shares of each Fund are generally sold only to separate accounts (the “Accounts”) of various insurance companies (the “Participating Insurance Companies”) to fund the benefits of variable annuity and/or variable life insurance policies (“Variable Contracts”). The Accounts may invest in shares of a Fund in accordance with allocation instructions received from owners of the Variable Contracts (“Contract Owners”). Such allocation rights, as well as sales charges and other expenses imposed on Contract Owners by the Variable Contracts, are further described in the applicable Variable Contract prospectus. Individual Contract Owners are not the shareholders of record of a Fund. Rather, the Accounts are the shareholders of record of a Fund. However, the Participating Insurance Companies are furnishing this Joint Proxy Statement to Contract Owners and, except as otherwise might be required by applicable law, each Participating Insurance Company will offer Contract Owners the opportunity to instruct it as to how it should vote shares held by it and the separate accounts on the proposal to be considered at the Meeting. Contract Owners may provide voting instructions on how to vote shares held through their variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting. This Joint Proxy Statement is provided to Contract Owners entitled to give voting instructions. This Joint Proxy Statement contains information that a Contract Owner should know before providing voting instructions on the proposal that is described herein.
For purposes of this Joint Proxy Statement, the terms “shareholder,” “you,” and “your” may refer to Contract Owners and to Accounts and Participating Insurance Companies, as direct owners of shares of the Funds, and any other direct shareholders of the Funds, unless the context otherwise requires.
The Board has fixed October 20, 2023 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of holders of shares of each Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders of record of any class of a Fund as of the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to vote their respective shares at the Meeting. A list of all of the Funds, along with the number of shares outstanding of each class of each Fund on the Record Date, can be found in Annex A. Each share of a Fund that you own entitles you to one vote on the proposal set forth below that applies to such Fund (a fractional share has a proportional fractional vote).
If you have any questions about the information set forth in this Joint Proxy Statement, please contact us at the 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-246-5463 or online at www.invesco.com/us.

|
Proposal |
To elect 14 trustees to the Board, each of whom will serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. |
Voting at the Meeting
Shareholders of a Fund on the Record Date are entitled to one vote per share, and a proportional vote for each fractional share, with respect to the Proposal for which they are entitled to vote, with no share having cumulative voting rights. A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. The voting and quorum requirements for the Proposal are described below.
If you are a Contract Owner and you intend to attend the Meeting and vote in person, we will provide you with a ballot prior to the vote. However, you must bring a letter from the Participating Insurance Company that issued your Variable Contract indicating that you hold unit values in an Account that invested in a Fund on the Record Date and authorizing you to vote.
You may contact the Funds at 1-800-959-4246 to obtain directions to the site of the Meeting.
The Funds do not know of any business other than the Proposal that will, or is proposed to, be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented, the persons named on the enclosed proxy card shall vote proxies in accordance with their best judgment.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU CAST YOUR VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL
(FOR EACH TRUSTEE NOMINEE).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND AND VOTE ON THE PROPOSAL
Below is a brief overview of the subject of the shareholder vote. Your vote is important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. Please read the full text of this Joint Proxy Statement, which contains additional information about the Proposal, and keep it for future reference.
PROPOSAL: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES?
The Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees, which has oversight responsibility for the management of the Trust’s business affairs. Trustees establish procedures and oversee and review the performance of the investment adviser, the distributor, and others who perform services for the Trust. Board members represent the Funds’ shareholders and have an obligation to serve the shareholders’ best interests.
WHO ARE THE TRUSTEE NOMINEES AND HOW WERE THEY SELECTED?
Shareholders are being asked to elect 14 Trustees (the “Trustee Nominees”) to the Board of the Trust. Ten of the 14 Trustee Nominees standing for election are presently members of the Board. Twelve of the 14 Trustee Nominees are “independent,” meaning they have no affiliation with the Funds (other than their positions on the Board) or Invesco
2
management, and receive or will receive compensation solely from the Trust in their capacity as Trustees. The Board considered the qualifications, including the background, experience and skills, of the Trustee Nominees and has nominated and selected the Trustee Nominees and recommends that the Trustee Nominees be elected by shareholders. Biographical information on each of the Trustee Nominees is provided in this Joint Proxy Statement under the Proposal.
VOTING PROCEDURES
HOW DO I VOTE IN PERSON?
If you do attend the Meeting, were the record owner of your shares or a Contract Owner on the Record Date, and wish to vote in person, we will provide you with a ballot prior to the vote.
If you are a Contract Owner, you must bring a letter from the Participating Insurance Company that issued your Variable Contract indicating that you hold unit values in an Account that invested in a Fund on the Record Date and authorizing you to vote. The letter must also state whether before the Meeting you authorized a proxy to vote for you and, if so, how you instructed such proxy to vote.
Please call the Trust at (800) 952-3502, if you plan to attend the Meeting.
HOW DO I VOTE BY PROXY?
Whether you plan to attend the Meeting or not, we urge you to complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card/voting instruction form and to return it promptly in the envelope provided. Returning the proxy card/voting instruction form will not affect your right to attend the Meeting or to vote at the Meeting if you choose to do so.
If you properly complete and sign your proxy card and send it to us in time to vote at the Meeting, your “proxy” (the individual(s) named on your proxy card) will vote your shares as you have directed. If you sign your proxy card but do not make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares “FOR” the Proposal (“FOR” each Trustee Nominee), as recommended by the Board, and in accordance with management’s recommendation on other matters.
With respect to Contract Owners that are submitting voting instruction forms, voting instruction forms that are properly signed, dated and received by the applicable Participating Insurance Company will be voted as specified. If you specify a vote on the Proposal, your Participating Insurance Company will vote those shares attributable to your Variable Contract as you indicate. Any shares of a Fund for which no voting instructions are given, and signed voting instruction forms without specified instructions, will generally be voted by the Participating Insurance Company, if required, in proportion to those shares for which timely instructions are received. The effect of this proportional voting is that Contract Owners representing a small number of Fund shares may determine the outcome of the vote on the Proposal. Contract Owners should contact their Participating Insurance Company for information about any applicable deadline for providing voting instructions to such Participating Insurance Company.
Proxies marked “WITHHOLD” will not be voted “FOR” the Proposal, but will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of Trustees. Please see your Variable Contract prospectus for information on how to contact your Participating Insurance Company. To provide voting instructions, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed voting instruction form or provide voting instructions by telephone or through a website established for that purpose as provided by your Participating Insurance Company.
Your proxy will have the authority to vote and act on your behalf at any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting. Shareholders may also transact any other business not currently contemplated that may properly come before the Meeting in the discretion of the proxies or their substitutes.
HOW DO I VOTE BY TELEPHONE OR THE INTERNET?
You may vote your shares by telephone or through a website established for that purpose by following the instructions that appear on the proxy card/voting instruction form accompanying this Joint Proxy Statement.
3
MAY I REVOKE MY VOTE?
If you authorize a proxy to vote for you, you may revoke the authorization at any time before it is exercised. You can do this in one of four ways:
- You may send in another duly executed proxy card bearing a later date, prior to the Meeting.
- You may submit a proxy by telephone, via the internet or via an alternative method of voting permitted by your broker, with a later date.
- You may notify the Trust’s Secretary in writing before the Meeting that you have revoked your proxy.
- You may vote in person at the Meeting, as set forth above under the heading, “How Do I Vote in Person?”
If you are a Contract Owner, you may revoke your voting instructions by sending a written notice to the applicable Participating Insurance Company expressly revoking your instructions, or by signing and forwarding to the Participating Insurance Company later-dated voting instructions. You may also vote in person at the Meeting, as set forth above under the heading, “How Do I Vote in Person?” Contract Owners should contact their Participating Insurance Company for further information on how to revoke previously given voting instructions, including any applicable deadlines. Please see your Variable Contract prospectus for information on how to contact your Participating Insurance Company.

PROPOSAL
ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
Shareholders of the Trust are being asked to elect 14 Trustees (together, the “Trustee Nominees”) to the Board. Ten of the 11 Trustees who currently serve on the Board — specifically, Beth Ann Brown, Cynthia Hostetler, Dr. Eli Jones, Elizabeth Krentzman, Anthony J. LaCava, Jr., Dr. Prema Mathai-Davis, Joel W. Motley, Teresa M. Ressel, Robert C. Troccoli and Daniel S. Vandivort — serve as “independent trustee” as defined below and have been nominated for election to the Board. Martin Flanagan, who currently serves as an interested Trustee, will be retiring effective upon the election of the Trustee Nominees. Cynthia Hostetler, Dr. Eli Jones, Dr. Prema Mathai-Davis, Teresa M. Ressel and Robert C. Troccoli were previously elected by shareholders in 2017 and Beth Ann Brown, Elizabeth Krentzman, Anthony J. LaCava, Joel W. Motley and Daniel S. Vandivort were previously appointed to the Board following recommendation by the Governance Committee of the Board, but not elected by shareholders. Additionally, Carol Deckbar and James “Jim” Liddy along with interested nominees Jeffrey H. Kupor and Douglas Sharp have been nominated for election to the Board for the first time. Carol Deckbar and James “Jim” Liddy were initially identified during a search process for potential candidates that was undertaken by the independent trustees with the assistance of a third-party search firm and were recommended for consideration as Trustee Nominees by the independent trustees. Jeffrey H. Kupor and Douglas Sharp were recommended for consideration as Trustee Nominees by Invesco management. If each Trustee Nominee is approved, the number of Board members comprising the Trust’s Board will increase from 11 to 14 Trustees pursuant to Board action in accordance with the provisions of the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust.
Each Trustee Nominee was recommended by the Governance Committee of the Board and nominated by the Board for election by shareholders. All Trustee Nominees have consented to being named in this Joint Proxy Statement and have agreed to serve if elected. If elected, each Trustee Nominee will serve until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. In addition, it is the current policy of the Board that any trustees who are not affiliated with Invesco may serve on the Board until December 31 of the year in which the trustee turns 75. If shareholders fail to elect one or more of the Trustee Nominees, then the Board will take such further action as it deems to be in the best interests of the Trust’s shareholders, which may include reducing the size of the Board in such a manner that a majority of the Trustees of the Trust consist of Trustees previously elected by shareholders, or reproposing the election of any Trustee Nominees who are not elected.
In the case of any vacancy on the Board, the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust provides that the size of the Board shall be automatically reduced by the number of vacancies unless or until the Board by resolution expressly maintains or increases the size of the Board. In the case of a vacancy arising from a Board resolution to maintain or increase the size of the Board, the remaining Trustees may fill such vacancy or add additional Board members, as the case may be, by appointing a replacement meeting the Trustee qualifications outlined in the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust.
Information Regarding the Trustee Nominees
The business and affairs of the Trust are managed under the oversight of the Board. This section of this Joint Proxy Statement provides you with information regarding each Trustee Nominee. Trustees generally serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, removal or retirement, including as pursuant to the retirement policy noted above. The tables below list the Trustee Nominees, their principal occupations, other directorships held by them during the past five years, and any affiliations with the Adviser or its affiliates. If all Trustee Nominees are elected, the Board will be composed of 14 Trustees, including 12 Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (collectively, the “Independent Trustees” and each an “Independent Trustee”).
The term “Invesco Fund Complex” includes each of the open-end and closed-end registered investment companies advised by the Adviser as of the Record Date. As of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement, there were 169 funds in the Invesco Fund Complex.

Board Leadership Structure
The Board is currently composed of eleven Trustees, including ten Trustees who are not “Independent Trustees. In addition to eight regularly scheduled meetings per year, the Board holds special meetings or informal conference calls to discuss specific matters that may require action prior to the next regular meeting. As discussed below, the Board has established four standing committees – the Audit Committee, the Compliance Committee, the Governance Committee and the Investments Committee (the Committees), to assist the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities.
17
The Board has appointed an Independent Trustee to serve in the role of Chair. The Chair’s primary role is to preside at meetings of the Board and act as a liaison with the Adviser and other service providers, officers, attorneys, and other Trustees between meetings. The Chair also participates in the preparation of the agenda for the meetings of the Board, is active with mutual fund industry organizations, and may perform such other functions as may be requested by the Board from time to time. Except for any duties specified pursuant to the Trust’s Declaration of Trust or By-laws, the designation of Chair does not impose on such Independent Trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Board generally.
The Board believes that its leadership structure, including having an Independent Trustee as Chair, allows for effective communication between the Trustees and management, among the Trustees and among the Independent Trustees. The existing Board structure, including its Committee structure, provides the Independent Trustees with effective control over Board governance while also allowing them to receive and benefit from insight from the interested Trustee who is an active officer of the Funds’ investment adviser. The Board believes that, if elected, the two interested Trustee Nominees would provide valuable insight to the Board as a result of their current and past positions within the Invesco complex. The Board’s leadership structure promotes dialogue and debate, which the Board believes allows for the proper consideration of matters deemed important to the Funds and their shareholders and results in effective decision-making.
Board Role in Risk Oversight
The Board considers risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities throughout the year at its regular meetings and at regular meetings of its Committees. Invesco prepares regular reports that address certain investment, valuation and compliance matters, and the Board as a whole or the Committees also receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues at the request of the Board, a Committee or the Senior Officer.
The Board also considers liquidity risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities and oversees the Fund’s liquidity risk through, among other things, receiving periodic reporting and presentations by Invesco personnel that address liquidity matters. As required by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, has approved the Fund’s Liquidity Risk Management (“LRM”) Program, which is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, and has appointed the LRM Program Administrator that is responsible for administering the LRM Program. The Board also reviews, no less frequently than annually, a written report prepared by the LRM Program Administrator that addresses, among other items, the operation of the program and assesses its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation. The Board also oversees risks related to certain Funds’ use of derivatives as part of its general oversight responsibilities. The Board has approved a derivatives risk manager, which is responsible for administering the derivatives risk management program (“DRM Program”) for the Funds that are required to implement a DRM Program. The Board meets with the derivatives risk manager on a periodic basis, including receiving quarterly and annual reports from the derivatives risk manager, to review the implementation of the DRM Program.
The Audit Committee assists the Board with its oversight of the Funds’ accounting and auditing process. The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm (auditors), including evaluating their independence and meeting with such auditors to consider and review matters relating to the Funds’ financial reports and internal controls. In addition, the Audit Committee meets regularly with representatives of Invesco Ltd.’s internal audit group to review reports on their examinations of functions and processes within Invesco that affect the Funds. The Audit Committee also oversees the Adviser’s process for valuing the Funds’ portfolio investments and receives reports from management regarding its process and the valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments as consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
The Compliance Committee receives regular compliance reports prepared by Invesco’s compliance group and meets regularly with the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (the “CCO”) to discuss compliance issues, including compliance risks. The Compliance Committee has recommended and the Board has adopted compliance policies and procedures for the Funds and for the Funds’ service providers. The compliance policies and procedures are designed to detect, prevent and correct violations of the federal securities laws.
The Governance Committee monitors the composition of the Board and each of its Committees and monitors the qualifications of the Trustees to ensure adherence to certain governance undertakings applicable to the Funds. In addition, the Governance Committee oversees an annual self-assessment of the Board and its committees and addresses governance risks, including insurance and fidelity bond matters, for the Trust.

The Investments Committee and its sub-committees receive regular written reports describing and analyzing the investment performance of the Invesco Funds. In addition, Invesco’s Chief Investment Officers and the portfolio managers of the Funds meet regularly with the Investments Committee or its sub-committees to discuss portfolio performance, including investment risk, such as the impact on the Funds of investments in particular types of securities or instruments, such as derivatives. To the extent that a Fund changes a particular investment strategy that could have a material impact on the Fund’s risk profile, the Board generally is consulted in advance with respect to such change.
Compensation of Trustees
Each Trustee who is not affiliated with Invesco is compensated for his or her services according to a fee schedule that recognizes the fact that such Trustee also serves as a Trustee of other Invesco Funds. Each such Trustee receives a fee, allocated among the Invesco Funds for which he or she serves as a Trustee that consists of an annual retainer component and a meeting fee component. The Chair of the Board and of each Committee (defined below) and Sub-Committee receive additional compensation for their services. Compensation received by the Trustees of the Funds as of December 31, 2022 is shown in Annex C hereto.
Board Meetings
In addition to regularly scheduled meetings each year, the Board holds special meetings and/or conference calls to discuss specific matters that may require action prior to the next regular meeting. The Board met thirteen times during the Trust’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Each current Trustee who is a Trustee Nominee attended at least 75% of the aggregate of: (i) the total number of meetings of the Board and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which the Trustee served. Trustees are encouraged to attend regular shareholder meetings, but the Board has no set policy requiring Board member attendance at such meetings. In addition, the Trust did not hold, nor was it required to hold, an annual meeting at which Board members were elected during the Trust’s last fiscal year.

Governance Committee
The members of the Governance Committee are Messrs. Motley and Vandivort (Chair) and Mss. Brown and Hostetler and Dr. Mathai-Davis. All of the members of the Governance Committee are Independent Trustees. The Board has adopted and approved a formal written charter for the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee’s charter is available at www.invesco.com/us.
The Governance Committee performs a number of functions with respect to governance, including: (i) nominating persons to serve as Independent Trustees and as members of each Committee, and nominating the Chair of the Board, the Chair of each Committee and the Chair of each Sub-Committee of the Investments committee; (ii) reviewing and making recommendations to the full Board regarding the size and composition of the Board and the compensation payable to the Independent Trustees; (iii) overseeing the annual evaluation of the performance of the Board and its Committees; (iv) considering and overseeing the selection of independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees; (v) considering and overseeing the selection and engagement of a Senior Officer if and as they deem appropriate, including compensation and scope of services, and recommending all such matters to the Board or the independent trustees as appropriate; (vi) reviewing administrative and/or logistical matters pertaining to the operations of the Board; and (vii) reviewing annually recommendations from Invesco regarding amounts and coverage of primary and excess directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance and allocation of premiums.
The Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by a shareholder to serve as trustees, provided: (i) that such submitting shareholder provides the information required by, and otherwise complies with the applicable provisions of, the Fund’s governing instruments; (ii) that such submitting shareholder is a shareholder of record at the time he or she submits such names and is entitled to vote at the meeting of shareholders at which trustees will be elected; and (iii) that the Governance Committee or the Board, as applicable, shall make the final determination of persons to be nominated. Notice procedures set forth in the Trust’s bylaws require that any shareholder of a Fund desiring to nominate a candidate for election at a shareholder meeting must provide certain information about itself and the candidate, and must submit to the Trust’s Secretary the nomination in writing not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such anniversary date or if the Trust did not hold an annual meeting in the previous year, notice by the Shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Trust.
While the Governance Committee believes that there are no specific minimum qualifications for a nominee to possess or any specific qualities or skills that are necessary, in considering a candidate’s qualifications, the Governance Committee may consider, among other things: (1) whether or not the person is an “interested person,” as defined in the 1940 Act, and is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a trustee of the Funds; (2) whether or not the person is willing to serve as, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of, a trustee; (3) with respect to any nominee who will serve as a member of the Audit Committee of the Trust, whether the person meets the requirements set forth in the Trust’s Audit Committee charter for service on such Committee; (4) whether the person can
20
make a positive contribution to the Board and the Funds, with consideration being given to the person’s specific experience, education, qualifications and other skills in light of the Funds’ business and structure, diversity and other factors as the Governance Committee may consider relevant; and (5) whether the person is of good character and high integrity, and (6) whether the person has other desirable personality traits, including independence, leadership and the ability to work with other Board members. The Governance Committee has not adopted any specific policy on the issue of diversity, but will take this into account, among other factors, in its consideration of new candidates to the Board.
Investments Committee
The members of the Investments Committee are Messrs. Flanagan, LaCava, Motley (Sub-Committee Chair), Troccoli (Sub-Committee Chair) and Vandivort, Mss. Brown, Hostetler (Chair), Krentzman and Ressel and Drs. Jones and Mathai-Davis (Sub-Committee Chair). The Investments Committee’s primary purposes are to assist the Board in its oversight of the investment management services provided by Invesco and the Sub-Advisers and to periodically review Fund performance information, and information regarding the investment personnel and other resources devoted to the management of the Funds and make recommendations to the Board, when applicable.
The Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees and delegated to the Sub-Committees responsibility for, among other matters: (i) reviewing the performance of the Invesco Funds that have been assigned to a particular Sub-Committee (for each Sub-Committee, the Designated Funds), except to the extent the Investments Committee takes such action directly; (ii) reviewing with the applicable portfolio managers from time to time the investment objective(s), policies, strategies, performance and risks and other investment-related matters of the Designated Funds; and (iii) being generally familiar with the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the Designated Funds.
Shareholder Communications

Shareholders should send communications intended for the Board or for a Trustee by addressing the communication directly to the Board or individual Trustee and/or otherwise clearly indicating that the communication is for the Board or individual Trustee and by sending the communication to either the office of the Secretary of the Funds or directly to such Trustee at the address specified for such Trustee above. Other shareholder communications received by any Fund not directly addressed and sent to the Board will be reviewed and generally responded to by management, and will be forwarded to the Board only at management’s discretion based on the matters contained therein.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL (“FOR” EACH TRUSTEE NOMINEE).

Principal Shareholders of the Funds
The persons who as of October 20, 2023 held of record more than 5% of the shares of a Fund are set forth in Annex D. To the knowledge of each Fund, no other persons own, directly or beneficially, 5% or more of the shares of any Fund.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the financial statements of the Funds. The Audit Committee of the Board has selected, and the Board has ratified and approved PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), 1000 Louisiana Street, Suite 5800, Houston, Texas 77002-5021, as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Funds.
It is not expected that representatives of PwC will attend the Meeting. In the event representatives of PwC do attend the Meeting, they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to answer appropriate questions.
In accordance with the adopted pre-approval policies and procedures, the Audit Committee has preapproved all audit and non-audit services provided to each Fund by its independent registered public accounting firm. Pre-approval by the Audit Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not, however, required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to a Fund constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by a Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the last audited financial statements of each Fund with management and with PwC. In connection with its discussions, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter(s) from PwC mandated by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding PwC’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. In connection with the Audit Committee’s review of the financial statements and PwC’s report, the members of the Audit Committee discussed with a representative of PwC, PwC’s independence, as well as the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and
24
the SEC, including, but not limited to, the following: PwC’s responsibilities in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; PwC’s responsibilities for information prepared by management that accompanies the Fund’s audited financial statements and any procedures performed and the results; the initial selection of, and whether there were any changes in, significant accounting policies or their application; management’s judgments and accounting estimates; whether there were any significant audit adjustments; whether there were any disagreements with management; whether there was any consultation with other accountants; whether the auditors encountered any difficulties in dealing with management in performing the audit; and PwC’s judgments about the quality of the Fund’s accounting principles.
As disclosed above, the members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. LaCava (Chair), Troccoli, Dr. Jones, and Mss. Hostetler and Ressel.
Audit Fees
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed to each Fund by PwC for professional services rendered for the audit of such Fund’s annual financial statements are set forth in Annex E. All of the audit services for each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with its pre-approval policies and procedures.
Audit-Related Fees
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed to each Fund by PwC for professional services rendered for audit-related services are set forth in Annex E. All of the audit-related services, which include assurance and related services by PwC that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of a Fund, for each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with its pre-approval policies and procedures.
Tax Fees
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed by PwC and approved by the Audit Committee of each Fund for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning are set forth in Annex E. All of the tax services for each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with its pre-approval policies and procedures.
All Other Fees
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed by PwC and approved by the audit committee of each Fund for professional services rendered for all other services are set forth in Annex E. All of the other services for the two most recently completed fiscal years were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with its pre-approval policies and procedures.
Covered Entities
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate non-audit fees billed to the Adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Funds (the “Covered Entities”) are set forth in Annex E. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve services to Covered Entities to the extent that the services are determined to have a direct impact on the operations of financial reporting of the Funds. The Audit Committee also has considered whether the provision of non-audit services, if any, performed by PwC for the Funds and Covered Entities is compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence in performing audit services.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING VOTING AT THE MEETING
WILL ANY OTHER MATTERS BE VOTED ON AT THE MEETING?
Management is not aware of any matters to be presented at the Meeting other than those discussed in this Joint Proxy Statement. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the Board that proxies will
25
be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons designated therein as proxies consistent with their fiduciary duties as set forth in Statement on Adjournment of Investment Company Shareholder Meetings and Withdrawal of Proposed Rule 20a-4 and Amendment to Rule 20a-1, Investment Company Act Release No. 7659 (Feb. 6, 1973) (the “1973 Release”).
WHAT IS THE QUORUM REQUIREMENT?
A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will exist for the Proposal for the Trust if shareholders entitled to vote one-third of the issued and outstanding shares of the Trust on the Record Date are present at the Meeting in person or by proxy, as applicable. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as shares present at the Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum.
As noted above, shares of the Funds are offered only to Participating Insurance Company Accounts as investment options under their Variable Contracts. Accordingly, as of the Record Date, shares of each Fund were only held by such Accounts. Contract Owners have the right to instruct their Participating Insurance Company on how to vote the shares attributable to their Variable Contracts, as described more fully above.
The rules of the SEC require disclosure of the effect of “broker non-votes.” A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker has not received voting instructions from a shareholder and is barred from voting the shares without shareholder instructions because the proposal is considered to be non-routine. As described above, each Account, as the shareholder of record of a Fund’s shares, generally is required to vote shares attributable to Variable Contracts as to which no voting instructions are received in proportion (for, against, or abstain) to those for which timely instructions are received by the Participating Insurance Company just as any other shares for which the Participating Insurance Company does not receive proper voting instructions. Therefore, we do not anticipate receiving any broker non-votes.
COULD THERE BE AN ADJOURNMENT OF THE MEETING?
If a quorum is not present at the Meeting or a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve the Proposal are not received, the Meeting may be adjourned to allow for further solicitation of proxies.
If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, then the affirmative vote of a majority of Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting (even though not constituting a quorum) will have the power to adjourn the Meeting from time to time without notice other than an announcement at the Meeting. If a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve the Proposal described in the original notice of the Meeting are not obtained, then the affirmative vote of one-third of Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting will have the power to adjourn the Meeting, without notice other than an announcement at the Meeting. Provided a quorum is present, any business may be transacted at such adjourned meeting that might have been transacted at the Meeting as originally notified.
A meeting may be adjourned from time to time without further notice to shareholders to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date. The persons named as proxies will vote in their discretion on questions of adjournment for those shares for which proxies have been received. With respect to adjournments, the Trust or its officers, as applicable, will adhere to the guidelines provided in the 1973 Release, and weigh carefully the decision whether to adjourn a shareholder meeting for the purpose of soliciting shareholders to obtain additional proxies. In any such case, the persons named as proxies and/or the officers of the Trust will consider whether an adjournment and additional solicitation is reasonable and in the interest of shareholders, or whether such procedures would constitute an abuse of office.
WHAT IS THE VOTE NECESSARY TO APPROVE THE PROPOSAL?
The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders of a Trust is required to elect each nominee for Trustee of the Trust. A vote requiring a plurality to elect nominees for Trustees of a Trust means that the nominees receiving the largest number of votes cast will be elected to fill the available positions for that Trust, and a nominee may be elected even if he or she received the affirmative vote of less than a majority of the outstanding shares of the Trust voting.
Abstentions will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of this Proposal. We expect that brokers will be entitled to vote on this Proposal, but any broker non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of this Proposal.
26
HOW WILL PROXIES BE SOLICITED AND WHO WILL PAY?
The Trust has retained Computershare Fund Services (the “Solicitor”), a professional proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting. The estimated cost of solicitation by the Solicitor for the Funds is currently estimated to be in the aggregate approximately $1.3 million. This amount may be higher if reaching quorum is more difficult than anticipated. To the extent the expenses are not billed to a particular Fund, they will be allocated among the Funds. The Trust expects to solicit proxies principally by mail, but the Trust or Solicitor may also solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, internet or personal interview. The Trust’s officers will not receive any additional or special compensation for any such solicitation. The expenses of preparing, printing and mailing these proxy solicitation materials and all other costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Proposal will be borne by the Funds. To the extent a Fund is subject to an applicable expense limitation arrangement or waiver, Invesco will indirectly bear the costs for the Fund.
The Participating Insurance Companies also may engage their own solicitors (which may include Computershare Fund Services) to solicit voting instructions from Variable Contract owners.
HOW MAY A SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL BE SUBMITTED?
As a general matter, the Funds do not hold regular meetings of shareholders. Shareholder proposals for consideration at a meeting of shareholders of a Fund should be submitted to the Secretary of the Trust at the address set forth on the first page of this Joint Proxy Statement. To be considered for presentation at a meeting of shareholders, the Trust must receive proposals within a reasonable time, as determined by the Trust’s management, before proxy materials are prepared for the meeting. Such proposals also must comply with applicable law.
For a discussion of procedures that must be followed for a shareholder to nominate an individual as a trustee, please refer to the section of this Joint Proxy Statement entitled “Proposal – Board Committees – Governance Committee.”
GENERAL
Management of each Fund does not intend to present, and does not have reason to believe that others will present, any other items of business at the Meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the Meeting for a vote, the proxies will be voted upon such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons acting under the proxies.
Failure of a quorum to be present at the Meeting for any Fund may necessitate adjournment and may subject such Fund to additional expense.
If you cannot be present in person, you are requested to fill in, sign and return the enclosed proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s), for which no postage is required if mailed in the United States, or record your voting instructions by telephone or via the internet promptly.

ANNEX F
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 March 29, 2017
I. Statement of Principles
The Audit Committees (the “Audit Committee”) of the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”) have adopted these policies and procedures (the “Procedures”) with respect to the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Funds’ independent auditor (the “Auditor”) to the Funds, and to the Funds’ investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Funds (collectively, “Service Affiliates”).
Under Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by the Auditor must be preapproved by the Audit Committee. Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X requires that the Audit Committee also pre-approve a Service Affiliate’s engagement of the Auditor for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds (a “Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement”).
These Procedures set forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which the Audit Committee may pre-approve audit and non-audit services for the Funds and a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other organizations and regulatory bodies applicable to the Funds (“Applicable Rules”). They address both general pre-approvals without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approvals”) and preapprovals on a case-by-case basis (“specific pre-approvals”). Any services requiring preapproval that are not within the scope of general pre-approvals hereunder are subject to specific pre-approval. These Procedures also address the delegation by the Audit Committee of pre-approval authority to the Audit Committee Chair or Vice Chair.
II. Pre-Approval of Fund Audit Services
The annual Fund audit services engagement, including terms and fees, is subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by an independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements. The Audit Committee will receive, review and consider sufficient information concerning a proposed Fund audit engagement to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence. The Audit Committee will oversee the Fund audit services engagement as necessary, including approving any changes in terms, audit scope, conditions and fees.
In addition to approving the Fund audit services engagement at least annually and specifically approving any changes, the Audit Committee may generally or specifically pre-approve engagements for other audit services, which are those services that only an independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other audit services may include services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC.
III. General and Specific Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Fund Services
The Audit Committee will consider, at least annually, the list of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services which list may be terminated or modified at any time by the Audit Committee. To inform the Audit Committee’s review and approval of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services, the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and Auditor shall provide such information regarding independence or other matters as the Audit Committee may request.
Any services or fee ranges that are not within the scope of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services have not received general pre-approval and require specific pre-approval. Each request for specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee for services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether to pre-approve such engagement, including evaluating whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor and is otherwise consistent with Applicable Rules.
F-1
IV. Non-Audit Service Types
The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approval of audit-related, tax or other services, each as described in more detail below.
“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 an 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; services related to mergers, acquisitions or dispositions; compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements.
1 | Applicable Rules include, for example, New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules applicable to closed-end funds managed by Invesco and listed on NYSE. |
“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 Committee will not approve proposed services of the Auditor which the Audit Committee believes are to be provided in connection with a service or transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisers as necessary to ensure the consistency of tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy. The Auditor shall not represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.
Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee will include a description from the Auditor in writing of (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or other amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement (whether oral, written, or otherwise) between the Auditor and the Funds, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor (or an affiliate of the Auditor) and any person (other than the Funds or Service Affiliates receiving the services) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will also discuss with the Audit Committee the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor, and document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee may pre-approve other non-audit services so long as the Audit Committee believes that the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor. Appendix I includes a list of services that the Auditor is prohibited from performing by the SEC rules. Appendix I also includes a list of services that would impair the Auditor’s independence unless the Audit Committee reasonably concludes that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Funds’ financial statements.
V. Pre-Approval of Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagements
Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve a Service Affiliate’s engagement of the Auditor for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds, defined above as a “Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement”.
The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, including for audit-related, tax or other services, as described above, if the Audit Committee believes that the provision of the services to a Service Affiliate will not impair the independence of the Auditor with respect to the Funds. Any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagements that are not within the scope of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services have not received general pre-approval and require specific pre-approval.
Each request for specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee of a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, a description of the current status of the pre-approval process involving other audit committees in the Invesco investment company complex (as defined in Rule 2-201 of Regulation S-X) with respect to the proposed engagement, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor from the Funds. Additionally, the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a
F-2
statement that the proposed engagement requires pre-approval by the Audit Committee, the proposed engagement, in their view, will not impair the independence of the Auditor and is consistent with Applicable Rules, and the description of the proposed engagement provided to the Audit Committee is consistent with that presented to or approved by the Invesco audit committee.
Information about all Service Affiliate engagements of the Auditor for non-audit services, whether or not subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee, shall be provided to the Audit Committee at least quarterly, to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence from the Funds. The Funds’ Treasurer and Auditor shall provide the Audit Committee with sufficiently detailed information about the scope of services provided and the fees for such services, to ensure that the Audit Committee can adequately consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence from the Funds.
VI. Pre-Approved Fee Levels or Established Amounts
Pre-approved fee levels or ranges for audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds, and for a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, under general pre-approval or specific pre-approval will be set periodically by the Audit Committee. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fee levels or ranges for such services or engagements will be promptly presented to the Audit Committee and will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee before payment of any additional fees is made.
VII. Delegation
The Audit Committee hereby delegates, subject to the dollar limitations set forth below, specific authority to its Chair, or in his or her absence, Vice Chair, to pre-approve audit and non-audit services proposed to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds and/or a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, between Audit Committee meetings. Such delegation does not preclude the Chair or Vice Chair from declining, on a case by case basis, to exercise his or her delegated authority and instead convening the Audit Committee to consider and pre-approve any proposed services or engagements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Audit Committee must pre-approve: (a) any non-audit services to be provided to the Funds for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; (b) any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; or (c) any cost increase to any previously approved service or engagement that exceeds the greater of $250,000 or 50% of the previously approved fees up to a maximum increase of $500,000.
VIII. Compliance with Procedures
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure to pre-approve any services or engagements that are not required to be pre-approved pursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X shall not constitute a violation of these Procedures. The Audit Committee has designated the Funds’ Treasurer to ensure services and engagements are pre-approved in compliance with these Procedures. The Funds’ Treasurer will immediately report to the Chair of the Audit Committee, or the Vice Chair in his or her absence, any breach of these Procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds’ Treasurer or any services or engagements that are not required to be pre-approved pursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a summary of all non-audit services provided to any entity in the investment company complex (as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X, including the Funds and Service Affiliates) that were not pre-approved, including the nature of services provided and the associated fees.
IX. Amendments to Procedures
All material amendments to these Procedures must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. Non-material amendments to these Procedures may be made by the Legal and Compliance Departments and will be reported to the Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.
F-3
Appendix I
Non-Audit Services That May Impair the Auditor’s Independence
The Auditor is not independent if, at any point during the audit and professional engagement, the Auditor provides the following non-audit services:
| • | | Broker-dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services; |
| • | | Expert services unrelated to the audit; |
| • | | Any service or product provided for a contingent fee or a commission; |
| • | | Services related to marketing, planning, or opining in favor of the tax treatment of confidential transactions or aggressive tax position transactions, a significant purpose of which is tax avoidance; |

| • | | Any other service that the Public Company Oversight Board determines by regulation is impermissible. |
An Auditor is not independent if, at any point during the audit and professional engagement, the Auditor provides the following non-audit services unless it is reasonable to conclude that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Funds’ financial statements:
| • | | Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the audit client; |
| • | | Financial information systems design and implementation; |
| • | | Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports; |
