Fund Description

Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of issuers in developing and emerging markets throughout the world and at times it may invest up to 100% of its total assets in foreign securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of issuers whose principal activities are in a developing (or emerging) market, i.e. are in a developing market or are economically tied to a developing market country. The Fund will invest in at least three developing markets. The Fund focuses on companies with above-average earnings growth. The Fund may at times have significant
exposure to one or more industries or sectors. The Fund may hold a portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents.
In general, countries may be considered developing or emerging markets if they are included in any one of the MSCI emerging markets indexes or excluded from an index that captures representation across developed market countries, classified as a developing or emerging market, or classified under a similar or corresponding classification, by organizations such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, or have economies, industries, and stock markets with similar characteristics as such countries. For purposes of the Fund’s investments, a determination that an issuer is economically tied to a developing market country is based on factors including, but not limited to, geographic location of its primary trading markets, location of its assets, its domicile or its principal offices, or whether it receives revenues from a developing market. Such a determination can also be based, in whole or in part, on inclusion of an issuer or its securities in an index representative of developing or emerging markets, or on its “country of risk” being a developing market country as determined by a third-party service provider such as Bloomberg.
The Fund can invest in common and preferred stocks and debt securities of U.S. companies. It can also hold U.S. corporate and government debt securities for defensive and liquidity purposes. In addition to common and preferred stocks, the Fund can invest in other equity or “equity equivalents” securities such as convertible securities, rights, or warrants. The Fund may purchase American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) as part of American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) issuances. Under normal market conditions, the Fund currently does not expect to invest a significant amount of its assets in securities of U.S. issuers or debt of any issuer. The Fund may use derivatives, including futures contracts, forward contracts, and options, to seek to enhance the Fund’s investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so. Use of derivatives by the Fund may create investment leverage.
The Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded securities. The Fund may also invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Fund may invest directly in certain eligible China A Shares through Stock Connect (a securities trading and clearing program designed to achieve mutual stock market access between the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and Hong Kong).
In selecting investments for the Fund, the Fund’s subadviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco Advisers”), evaluates investment opportunities on a company-by-company basis. This approach includes fundamental analysis of a company’s financial statements, management record, capital structure, operations, product development, and competitive position in its industry. Invesco Advisers also looks for newer or established businesses that are entering into a growth cycle, have the potential for accelerating earnings growth or cash flow, and possess reasonable valuations. Invesco Advisers considers the effect of worldwide trends on the growth of particular business sectors and looks for companies that may benefit from those trends and seeks a diverse mix of industries and countries to help reduce the risks of foreign investing, such as currency fluctuations and stock market volatility. Invesco Advisers may invest in growth companies of different capitalization ranges in any developing market country. Invesco Advisers monitors individual issuers for changes in the factors above, which may trigger a decision to sell a security.
