9 About Risk The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Current tax levels and reliefs may change. Depending on individual circumstances, this may affect investment returns. As with all investments, there are associated inherent risks. Neither Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. nor any affiliate of Invesco Ltd. guarantee the return of capital, distribution of income or the performance of any investment. This document is by way of information only. Asset management services are provided by Invesco in accordance with appropriate local legislation and regulations. Where Invesco has expressed views and opinions, these may change. The nature of this investment is different from traditional funds and the risks inherent in it are not typically encountered in traditional funds. The investment undertakes special risks which may lead to substantial loss. Investors are advised to consider their own financial circumstances and the suitability of the investment as part of their investment portfolio, and investors are advised to obtain all information and professional advice before making the investment. Credit risk is the risk of loss on an investment due to the deterioration of an issuer s financial health. Such a deterioration of financial health may result in a reduction of the credit rating of the issuer s securities and may lead to the issuer s inability to honor its contractual obligations, including making timely payment of interest and principal. Foreign securities have additional risks, including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity, and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise and vice versa. A majority of the funds assets are likely to be invested in loans and securities that are less liquid than those rated on national exchanges. There is no guarantee that the investment techniques and risk analysis used by the funds portfolio managers will produce the desired results. The prices of securities held by the fund may decline in response to market risks. Nondiversification increases the risk that the value of the fund s shares may vary more widely, and the fund may be subject to greater investment and credit risk than if it invested more broadly. The ability of an issuer of a floating rate loan or debt security to repay principal prior to maturity can limit the potential for gains by the fund. To the extent that the fund is concentrated in securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industries, the fund s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. The value of these securities can be sensitive to changes in government regulation, interest rates and economic downturns in the U.S. and abroad. The fund may use enhanced investment techniques such as derivatives. The principal risk of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk the risk that the other party will not complete the transaction with the fund. Leveraging entails risks such as magnifying changes in the value of the portfolio s securities. 9
