This is not to be construed as an offer to buy or sell any financial instruments and should not be relied upon as the sole factor in an investment making decision. As with all investments there are associated inherent risks. Please obtain and review all financial material carefully before investing. Past performance is not indicative of future results. This does not constitute a recommendation of the suitability of any investment strategy for a particular investor. The opinions expressed herein are based on current market conditions and are subject to change without notice. Derivatives Risk The Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy invests (directly or indirectly) a substantial portion of its assets in "derivatives" so-called because their value "derives" from the value of an underlying asset (including an underlying security), reference rate or index the value of which may rise or fall more rapidly than other investments. The strategy invests principally in exchange-traded futures across a diverse mix of assets including equities, bonds and commodities. The Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy is a long-only strategy, so the portfolio will hold no net short positions at any time. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative. If the portfolio uses derivatives to "hedge" a portfolio risk, it is possible that the hedge may not succeed. This may happen for various reasons, including unexpected changes in the value of the rest of the portfolio. Over the counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. Leverage Risk The Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy employs leverage as a fundamental element within the investment strategy. The implementation of a risk parity strategy requires the use of leverage in order to increase the risk of the government bond allocation in the strategy so that it can be balanced against the portfolio s exposure to stocks and commodities. The use of derivatives facilitates the ability to create the desired level of leverage in the portfolio. Leverage may cause the portfolio to be more volatile than if the portfolio had not been leveraged because leverage can exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of securities held by the portfolio. 38

The amount of return generated in a backwardated futures market that is achieved by rolling a short-term contract into a longer-term contract and profiting from the convergence toward a higher spot price. Spot Price. The current price at which a particular security can be bought or sold at a specified time and place. A security's spot price is regarded as the explicit value of the security at any given time in the marketplace. Standard Deviation. Standard deviation measures a fund s range of total returns and identifies the spread of a fund s short-term fluctuations. Term Structure. Term Structure of futures contracts refers to the price curve formed by the prices of futures contracts over various expiration months. Optimal Roll. Optimizing the roll yield by choosing the most attractive futures contract. 40
