Invesco Active Multi-Sector Credit Fund Structure Luxembourg domiciled SICAV with UCITS status. Reference performance index Synthetic index comprising: 42% Barclays Global Credit USD Hedged 29% S&P Leveraged Loan Index 15% Barclays EM Hard Currency Index USD Hedged 14% Barclays Global High Yield Share classes Please speak with your sales representative Settlement date Trade date + 3 days With effect from 18 September 2014, the Invesco Absolute Return Bond Fund was re-named the Invesco Active Multi-Sector Credit Fund: the investment objective, fund managers and investment adviser also changed on the same date. Fund objective The fund aims to provide a total return over a full market cycle. The fund seeks to achieve its objective through an active strategic and tactical asset allocation process to credit-related debt securities globally. Within the strategic and tactical allocation process, the fund will gain exposure to actively selected debt securities based on fundamental credit research. Investment scope The strategic asset allocation (a base allocation derived from historic credit cycle analysis) process applies a risk balanced approach to each of the credit sectors with the tactical overlay allowing the fund managers to shift these allocations to take advantage of the current market environment to capture short-term relative value opportunities among the credit sectors. Credit-related debt securities are intended to include Investment Grade Corporate, Emerging Market, Bank Loans 1 and High Yield, however, depending on the market environment the fund can allocate opportunistically to any other sector not mentioned above which we believe is classified as a credit market sector.

Why consider investing in a multi-sector credit fund? In the current low yield environment we believe a dynamic approach to investing in corporate bonds is required to generate positive total returns over the credit cycle The case for a dynamically managed multi-sector credit fund Need for dynamic management Increasingly fast changing markets result in return fluctuations between fixed income asset classes which requires dynamic management of intracycle relative value positioning. A multi-layered approach to managing credit provides the opportunity for enhanced risk-adjusted returns not available in a single sector or static allocation portfolio. Increased importance of credit selectivity Fixed income returns are expected to shift to coupon income and away from price driven appreciation due to the unsustainable environment of low interest rates. Performance is expected to be driven by security selection and a continuous assessment of relative value. Central bank policy and financial repression currently leave little value in core government and investment grade corporate bond markets. Volatility of asset class returns requires management over a full cycle Relative rank 1 Relative rank 2 Relative rank 3 Relative rank 4 Annual total returns (%) 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 July 2014 3 Yield to Maturity (%) Despite US Federal Reserve tapering, we see no change in conventional monetary policy and expect interest rates to stay low but with increased volatility. Within this current interest rate environment, we believe credit has the potential to outperform other fixed interest asset classes. 5.31 3.75 3.48 3.75-2.96 14.09 6.83 5.07 10.35-0.43 5.18 11.99 5.65 12.20 1.95-25.24 57.69 15.07 3.63 19.24 6.47 5.15 12.22 11.91 9.09 4.16-14.68 34.66 12.30 6.02 17.92-3.23 7.04 5.17 5.06 6.74 2.08-29.10 51.62 10.13 1.51 9.67 5.29 2.47 2.51 6.00 4.50 4.66 Investment Grade Corporate High Yield Emerging Market Bank Loans 10 yr US Treasuries July 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Total return (%) 4.48 3.30 2.21 10.00 23.09-10.99 8.79 19.36 5.12-7.72 6.89 Yield (%) 4.22 4.39 4.70 4.03 2.22 3.84 3.30 1.88 1.76 2.99 2.56 Past performance is not a guide to future returns.
