Invesco Unit Trusts Fixed income

Before investing, investors should carefully read the prospectus and consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. For this and more complete information about the trust(s), investors should ask their advisors for a prospectus or download one at invesco.com/uit. About risk There is no assurance a unit trust will achieve its investment objective. An investment in a unit trust is subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by a unit trust will decline and that the value of trust units may therefore be less than what you paid for them. The trusts are unmanaged and their portfolios are not intended to change during the trusts lives except in limited circumstances. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in a unit trust. The trust should be considered as part of a long-term investment strategy and you should consider your ability to pursue it by investing in successive trusts, if available. You will realize tax consequences associated with investing from one series to the next. An investment in these trusts should be made with an understanding of the risks associated therewith, such as the inability of the issuer or an insurer to pay the principal of or interest on a bond when due, volatile interest rates, early call provisions and changes to the tax status of the bonds. In particular, Qualified Bonds may be redeemed approximately three years after issuance to the extent an issue has unexpected bond sale proceeds. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Investments in a trust may be subject to interest rate risk. If interest rates rise, the value of the bonds in a trust may decline and if interest rates decline the value of the bonds may increase. Also, the longer the period to maturity, the greater the sensitivity to interest rate changes tends to be. Should the issuer of any Build America Bonds (BABs) or Qualified Bonds (including Qualified School Construction Bonds, Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds and Clean Renewable Energy Bonds) fail to continue to meet the applicable requirements imposed on the bonds as provided by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009, it is possible that such issuer may not receive federal cash subsidy payments, impairing the issuer s ability to make scheduled interest payments. BABs and Qualified Bonds are not guaranteed by the federal government. If the issuer can not pay the debt service on the municipal obligation, the BABs or Qualified Bonds status would not help the issuer. A particular series of a trust may be concentrated in certain sectors or geographic regions, and to the extent that it is, your investment in units of a trust series would be subject to the risks associated with such concentrations. Please refer to the prospectus associated with the applicable trust. Not all municipals can be sold as Build America Bonds or Qualified Bonds. For BABs on which the issuer receives a direct federal subsidy payment for a portion of their costs, only new money governmental issues for capital expenditures capital qualify. An investment in the Ginnie Mae ( GNMA ) securities, mortgage-backed securities, should be made with an understanding of the risks associated with an investment in mortgage-backed securities, such as volatile interest rates and the early return of principal. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. The principal amount of GNMA securities per unit will decline, as principal payments and prepayments are made on the underlying GNMA securities. Certain trusts invest in bonds rated below investment grade and are considered to be junk bonds. Bonds rated below BBB- by Standard & Poor s and Fitch, or below Baa3 by Moody s, are considered to be below investment grade. These bonds are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater market and credit risks. Accordingly, the risk of default is higher than with investment grade bonds. In addition, these bonds may be more sensitive to interest rate changes and may be more likely to make early returns of principal. The trust s price per unit, yield and return may fluctuate more than in a trust consisting of investment grade bonds. Certain of the bonds in a trust s portfolio may be restricted securities that may be subject to enhanced liquidity risk. This is the risk that the value of a security will fall if trading in the security is limited or absent. Any bonds in the trust designated as Rule 144A securities are subject to resale restrictions. The value of trust units may decrease if there is a lack of a liquid market for these securities. Securities of foreign issuers in a Trust present risks beyond those of U.S. issuers. These risks may include market and political factors related to an issuer s foreign market, international trade conditions, less regulation, smaller or less liquid markets, increased volatility, differing accounting practices and changes in the value of foreign currencies. With respect to the GNMA trusts the US Government guarantee applies only to the timely payment of the interest and principal on the Ginnie Mae securities and does not guarantee against market value fluctuations, nor does it apply to the units of the trust. Discount fixed income unit trusts may realize gains when a municipal bond is sold, is called or matures and unit holders may incur a tax liability from time to time.

Invest with a leader Invesco is a global leader in fixed income unit trusts. Fixed income unit trusts have long been valued for the potential steady stream of monthly income they may generate. Bonds often perform differently than stocks in similar market conditions, and they may provide critical stability to an overall portfolio. A disciplined long-term strategy of including fixed income within a portfolio has historically been utilized as a way to reduce overall volatility or risk. Invesco offers a number of disciplined unit trusts that generate either tax-exempt or taxable income making them potentially important components of many investors portfolios. Unit trust investment team The Unit Trust Investment team is a well-rounded group of investment professionals, distinguished by their breadth of experience and depth of industry knowledge. The team is responsible for portfolio construction, individual securities transactions, market risk and credit risk. This allows them to deliver quality research driven unit trust products, as they have for more than three decades. Investment overview The securities in Invesco s tax-exempt and taxable fixed income unit trust portfolios are selected by experienced analysts. They conduct extensive research on each potential holding, including an extensive review of its credit quality, terms and maturity. Once securities are selected, they are monitored on an ongoing basis in an effort to insure continued investment quality. A security may be sold under limited circumstances if a significantly adverse situation occurs. Invesco Unit Trusts focuses on quality and value. Many portfolios are made up of high-quality bonds and strive to protect income with call protection of at least five years. Invesco has developed fixed income unit trusts that have stood the test of time and offers portfolios for various investment objectives. 2

Potential benefits to investing in fixed income unit trusts Professional selection. The Unit Trust Investment team, an experienced group of investment professionals, selects and obtains the securities held in Invesco s fixed income portfolios. Diversification. Certain Invesco fixed income unit trusts are diversified across various geographical regions, maturities, credit ratings and subcategories within the fixed income markets. Of course, diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of loss. Current income/preservation of capital. The income generated by Invesco s fixedincome unit trusts may remain fairly consistent. A buy and hold strategy is often utilized by investors to preserve capital. Also, Invesco s portfolios offer various return and yield components for different investment objectives. Monthly income. Unit trusts typically pay monthly income unlike individual bonds, which usually pay income semiannually. Tax savings. Our tax-exempt unit trusts are not subject to federal and, in some cases, state and local taxes. Convenience and transparency. The structure of Invesco s fixed income unit trusts allows investors access to a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities within one investment. Also, transparency is readily available with a defined portfolio, daily pricing and liquidity. AMT-free portfolios. Invesco s national and state municipal portfolios do not buy alternative minimum tax (AMT) paper. AMT has become problematic for many middle-income taxpayers because it does not take into account inflation. Lower fees. Investing in fixed income unit trusts generally corresponds to lower ongoing fees than investing in mutual funds or potentially other similar fixed income investment packages. invesco.com/uit 3

Finding the right mix Investing in fixed income unit trusts Asset allocation should be the foundation of an investment plan, whether planning for retirement, education, current income or other capital requirements. It is one of the most important and most frequently misunderstood concepts in the investment industry. The basic confusion is often that asset allocation and diversification are one in the same, they are not. Yet, they both can play a vital role in your overall portfolio. Asset allocation Asset allocation in its simplest form would divide a portfolio into two basic classes of investment securities: stocks and bonds. The concept being when one asset class trends down in value the other asset class may trend up, thus, offsetting some of the volatility. Changes to personal situations, goals and objectives should be generally applied to asset allocation, not necessarily current market conditions. What are bonds? A debt investment in which an investor loans money to an entity (corporate or governmental) that borrows the funds for a defined period of time at a fixed interest rate. Bonds are used by companies, municipalities, states and US and foreign governments to finance a variety of projects and activities. Bonds are commonly referred to as fixed-income securities and are one of the three main asset classes, along with stocks and cash equivalents. Diversification Diversification is a risk reduction technique that applies to individual holdings within a particular asset class as a percent of total assets. Attempting to achieve higher rates of return and hedge against equity downturns, many investors diversify their equity holdings among various sectors, asset classes, geographical regions, market styles and indexes. The same applies to fixed income. Bonds in different sectors may have unique behaviors, often resulting in different reactions to the same market conditions. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of loss. Diversification does not ensure a profit or eliminate the risk of loss. 4

Potential to improve the risk-return profile in an overall portfolio Correlation is a foundational principal of portfolio theory. Investments that are not well correlated to one another may help to limit total portfolio volatility. Bonds generally have low correlations to most major asset classes, especially equities. Historically, the low correlation indicates that adding bonds to a portfolio has the potential to both diversify equity exposure and lower portfolio risk. Of course, past performance does not guarantee future results. Why consider fixed income in a portfolio allocation? The monthly income is usually constant throughout the life of a particular bond Hedge for possible changes in interest rates Moderate price risk Complement a portfolio to meet your current and future financial objective and goals (retirement, education or life event) Bonds generally have low correlation to equity markets the income from bonds can potentially enhance an overall portfolio in an up market and help cushion losses when markets decline Potentially higher reinvestment opportunities in down market From speculative to conservative investing, fixed income should be considered as one of the core foundations in an overall portfolio. Invesco s fixed income unit trusts are professionally selected portfolios that offer investors the structure of a longterm disciplined investment. Correlation measures how two securities move in relation to each other. Correlations are used in advanced portfolio management. invesco.com/uit 5
