Dear Shareholders:
This annual report provides important information about your Fund, including its performance.
I encourage you to read this report to learn more about how your Fund is managed, what it invests
in and why it performed as it did. Also, this report includes information about your Funds management
team and a listing of investments held by your Fund at the close of the reporting period.
Investors are likely to confront both opportunities and challenges in 2012. As we saw in 2011,
market sentiment can change suddenly and dramatically and certainly without advance notice depending on
economic developments and world events. Similarly, your own situation, needs and goals can change, requiring adjustments in your financial strategy.
For current information about your Fund
Many investors find that staying abreast of market trends and developments may provide reassurance in
times of economic uncertainty and market volatility such as we saw last year and may see again this year.
Invesco can help you stay informed about your investments and market trends.
On our website, invesco.com/us, we provide timely market updates and commentary from many of
our portfolio managers and other investment professionals. Also on our website, you can obtain
information about your account at any hour of the day or night.
I invite you to visit and explore the tools and information we offer at invesco.com/us.
Our commitment to investment excellence
Many investors believe that its wise to be well diversified and to maintain a
long-term investment focus. While diversification cant guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it
may cushion the impact of dramatic market moves. Maintaining a long-term investment focus for your
long-term goals financing your retirement or your childrens education, for example
may help you avoid making rash investment decisions based on short-term market swings.
Likewise, Invescos investment professionals maintain a long-term
focus. Each Invesco fund is managed by a specialized team of investment professionals,
and as a company, we maintain a single focus investment management that allows
our portfolio managers to concentrate on doing what they do best: managing your money.
Each Invesco fund is managed according to its stated investment objectives
and strategies, with robust risk oversight using consistent, repeatable investment processes
that dont change in response to short-term market events. This disciplined approach cant
guarantee a profit; no investment can do that, since all involve some measure of risk. But it can ensure that
your money is managed the way we said it would be according to your Funds objective and strategies.
Questions?
If you have questions about your account, please contact one of our client service representatives at 800 341 2929. If you have a general Invesco-related question or comment for me, I invite you to email me directly at phil@invesco.com.
All of us at Invesco look forward to serving your investment management needs for many years to come. Thank you for investing with us.
Sincerely,
Philip Taylor
Senior Managing Director, Invesco Ltd.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
As always, the Invesco Funds Board of Trustees remains committed to putting your interests first. We worked to manage costs throughout the year, and this remains a continuing focus of your Board. We will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that weve always maintained.
Throughout 2011, we experienced volatile, challenging markets that presented both significant opportunities and risks for investors.
Early in the year, protests in the Middle East and Africa led to increases in oil and gas prices. This was followed by the
disasters in Japan that led to supply chain disruptions across a number of industries. In Europe, sovereign debt concerns
created uncertainty in global markets that remains unresolved. Here in the US, prolonged congressional debates over deficits
and the debt ceiling resulted in the first-ever downgrade of US long-term debt. Combined, this imperfect storm of
events took a tremendous toll on global economic growth and created volatility in the markets.
Across the globe, demographic and economic trends are profoundly reshaping the worlds wealth. Emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil and Russia are experiencing tremendous growth. China is now the worlds second-largest economy. Meanwhile, established markets such as the US and Europe are struggling with debt issues and experiencing much lower rates of growth. We all know the US is a consumer-driven market and consumers continue to face numerous headwinds, including elevated energy prices, a dismal housing market and high unemployment.
This dynamic, challenging market and economic environment underscores once again the value of maintaining a well-diversified investment portfolio. Obviously, none of us can control the markets or global economic trends. However, adopting a disciplined approach to saving and investing may help provide the funds needed to buy a house, pay for our childrens education and provide for a comfortable retirement.
Based on everything Ive read, this year could potentially be just as interesting as 2011, with continued uncertainty in key economies around the world and volatility in the markets. With this in mind, youll want to stay informed regarding the markets and keep up to date with news that affects your investment portfolio. Invescos website, invesco.com/us, provides a wealth of information about your investments and news regarding global markets.
I would like to close by thanking Bob Baker for his distinguished 30-year service with the Invesco Funds Board and his unflagging commitment to our funds shareholders. As always, I encourage you to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving you in 2012.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Managements Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
This is the annual report for Invesco High Yield Investments Fund, Inc.,
for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012. The Funds return can be
calculated based on either its market price or the net asset value (NAV) of its shares.
NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund's portfolio securities, cash and
other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding. Market price
reflects the supply and demand for the shares. As a result, the two returns can differ, as
they did during the reporting period. For the reporting period, Invesco High Yield Investments
Fund, Inc., at NAV posted positive returns, which were enhanced by the Fund's use of financial leverage.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future
results; current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return, net asset value and market price
will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Please visit invesco.com/us for the
most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, the reinvestment of
distributions (if any) and changes in net asset value (NAV) for performance based on NAV and changes in
market price for performance based on market price.
|
|
Since the Fund is a closed-end management investment
company, shares of the Fund may trade at a
discount or premium from the NAV. This characteristic is separate and distinct from the risk that NAV
could decrease as a result of investment activities and may be a greater risk to investors expecting to sell
their shares after a short time. The Fund cannot predict whether shares will trade at, above or below NAV.
The Fund should not be viewed as a vehicle for trading purposes. It is designed primarily for risk-tolerant
long-term investors.

How we invest
We invest primarily in debt securities that are determined to be below
investment grade. These bonds, commonly known as junk bonds,
are typically corporate bonds of US-based companies, many of which are
moderately sized. We principally invest in junk bonds, although we

analysis conducted by a team of analysts
who specialize by industry. This approach is augmented by an ongoing review of the relative
value of securities and a top-down process that includes sector, economic and quantitative analysis.
Changes in a securitys risk/return profile or relative value and top-down factors generally
determine buy and sell decisions.
Portfolio construction begins with a well-defined portfolio design that emphasizes
diversification and establishes the target investment vehicles for generating the desired alpha
(the return expected from an investment) as well as the risk parameters
appropriate for the current positioning in the credit cycle. Investments
are evaluated for liquidity and risk versus relative value. Working closely with other
investment specialists and traders, we determine the timing and amount of each alpha
decision to use in the portfolio at any time, taking into account security selection skill and market opportunities.
Sell decisions are based on:
n
|
|
Low equity value to debt, high subordination and negative free cash flow
coupled with negative news, declining expectations or an increasing risk profile.
|
|
n
|
|
Very low yields.

Market conditions and your Fund
As the fiscal year began, financial markets were performing relatively strongly.
But the emergence of the Arab Spring, a widespread pro-democracy
movement, resulted in uprisings across the Middle East. This political
uncertainty quickly heightened global concerns about energy supplies and economic recovery and
caused market volatility to increase. In the US, these developments often were overshadowed by
domestic concerns. While corporate earnings remained strong, with many positive surprises, investor
enthusiasm was tempered by continuing high unemployment, weak consumer spending and soft housing data.
Although markets stabilized and remained generally positive in June and July, risky
assets sold off precipitously in August as the US government struggled to raise the
nations debt ceiling. This protracted effort led credit rating agency Standard
Poors to announce the first-ever downgrade to long-term US government debt.
Uncertainty created by the downgrade, combined with continuing

concern about the debt crisis in the eurozone, reignited fears of a global recession and pressured markets lower in the fall.
As signs of muted but sustained economic growth mounted, markets moved off their October lows through the close of the
reporting period.
The broad US high yield bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index, generated
strong positive total returns for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012. Volatility and correlations were high as the high
yield market experienced what is generally called the risk
on/risk off market. In August and September of 2011, debt
concerns in Europe and the downgrade of US debt by Standard & Poors caused investors to scale back their risk profile.
The risk-on trade returned at the end of the reporting period as we had potentially good news from Europe, and economic
data out of the US improved.
On an absolute basis, the Fund generated positive returns for the reporting period. As a result of our investing
approach, the portfolio was underweight in the lower quality credit tiers during the reporting period. The main contributors
to the Fund's relative performance for the reporting period included our consumer cyclical, technology and energy holdings.
Security selection in the building materials and textile areas also provided strong relative returns during the reporting
period.
In terms of relative detractors during the reporting period, we were hurt by not owning some securities within certain
sectors and owning some off-index European issuers. In the media cable industry, we were hurt because we didn't own some of
the riskier names that rallied during the reporting period. Packaging was also a detractor from relative performance as
we did not own some of the issuers held in the index. Security selection in health care was a drag on performance as
certain issues sold off during the reporting period. Various off-index positions in European food and beverage and
construction machinery issuers also detracted from the Fund's relative performance.
One important factor impacting the return of the Fund relative to its comparative index was the Fund's use of financial
leverage through the use of bank borrowings. As of the close of the reporting period, leverage accounted for 27% of the
Funds total assets. The Fund uses leverage because we believe that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for
additional income and total return for common shareholders. However, use of leverage also can expose common shareholders
to
additional volatility. For example, if the prices of securities held by a fund decline, the negative impact of these
valuation changes on common share net asset value and common shareholder total return is magnified by the use of leverage. Conversely, leverage may enhance common share returns during periods when the prices of securities held by a fund generally are rising.
During the reporting period, the Fund employed a leverage strategy that involved borrowing money at short-term rates
and reinvesting the proceeds in longer term securities, taking advantage of the difference between longer and short-term
rates and the additional yield received on underlying investments. The low level of short-term interest rates during the
reporting period made
the Funds borrowing activity relatively inexpensive. At the same time, the price of longer term securities generally
rose. As a result, the Funds leverage enhanced overall returns and was a meaningful contributor to performance for the reporting period. For more information about the Fund's use of leverage, see the Notes to Financial Statements later in this report.
As stated earlier, the Fund trades at a market price and also has an NAV. The Fund traded at a discount to NAV early in the reporting period. The discount tightened and turned into a premium mid-way
through the reporting period, remaining at a premium through the end of the reporting period.
During the reporting period, the Fund used derivatives to hedge currency exposure.
Overall, the high yield market improvement was underpinned by waning worries about a US
recession; indeed, most observers see improved prospects for a sustained albeit slow economic recovery. The sovereign debt
crisis in Europe has, for now, subsided. Given lowered prospects for default losses, the high yield market continues to look
relatively cheap. While the US economy appears to be strengthening, substantial uncertainties remain including pending
fiscal adjustments needed to resolve US government budget deficits and the European sovereign debt situation and its
potential bank solvency and credit implications. We therefore believe that there is some risk of recurring volatility. If a
full-blown crisis were created due to a deteriorating economic outlook, we believe the market could have significant
downside potential, and we could see further liquidations of risky assets; therefore, some ongoing caution is warranted.

Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan
Pursuant to the Dividend
Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan
(the Plan), each stockholder will be
deemed to have elected, unless
Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the
Plan Agent) is otherwise instructed by
the stockholder in writing, to have all
Distributions automatically reinvested
in Fund shares. Participants in the
Plan have the option of making
additional voluntary cash payments to
the Plan Agent, monthly, in any amount
from $100 to $3,000, for investment in
Fund shares.
|
|
Dividend and capital gain
distributions (Distributions) will be
reinvested on the reinvestment date
in full and fractional shares. If the
market price per share equals or
exceeds net asset value per share on
the reinvestment date, the Fund will
issue shares to participants at net
asset value or, if net asset value is
less than 95% of the market price on
the reinvestment date, shares will be
issued at 95% of the market price. If
net asset value exceeds the market
price on the reinvestment date,
participants will receive shares
valued at market price. The Fund may
purchase shares of its Common Stock
in the open market in connection with
dividend reinvestment requirements at
the discretion of the Board of
Directors. Should the Fund declare a
Distribution payable only in cash,
the Plan Agent will purchase Fund
shares for participants in the open
market as agent for the participants.
|
|
|
The Plan Agents fees for the
reinvestment of a Distribution will
be paid by the Fund. However, each
participants account will be
charged a pro rata share of
brokerage commissions incurred on
any open market purchases effected
on such participants behalf. A
participant will also pay brokerage
commissions incurred on purchases
made by voluntary cash payments.
Although stockholders in the Plan
may receive no cash distributions,
participation in the Plan will not
relieve participants of any income
tax which may be payable on such
dividends or distributions.
|
|
|
|
In the case of stockholders,
such as banks, brokers or nominees,
that hold shares for others who are
the beneficial owners, the Plan
Agent will administer the Plan on
the basis of the number of shares
certified from time to time by the
stockholder as representing the
total amount registered in the
stockholders name and held for the
account of beneficial owners who
are participating in the Plan.
|
|
|
|
Stockholders who do not wish to have Distributions automatically reinvested should notify
the Plan Agent in writing. There is no penalty for non-participation or withdrawal from the Plan,
and stockholders who have previously withdrawn from the Plan may rejoin at any time. Requests for
additional information or any correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan
Agent at:

NOTE 1Significant
Accounting Policies
Invesco High Yield Investments Fund, Inc. (the
Fund), a Maryland Corporation, is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940
Act), as a diversified, closed-end management investment
company.
The Funds primary objective is to seek a high
level of current income and as a secondary objective, to seek
capital appreciation.
|
|
|
A.
|
|
Security
Valuations
Securities, including
restricted securities, are valued according to the following
policy.
|
|
|
Debt obligations (including convertible
bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated
quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without
exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate
factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of
securities, developments related to specific securities,
dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate,
maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market
data. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit
risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of
default with respect to interest
and/or
principal payments.
|
|
|
Senior secured floating rate loans and
senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued
using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing
service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may
reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type,
industry, company performance, spread, individual trading
characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of
securities and other market data.
|
|
|
A security listed or traded on an
exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales
price or official closing price as of the close of the customary
trading session on the exchange where the security is
principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing
price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the
closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the
over-the-counter
market are valued based on prices furnished by independent
pricing services or market makers. When such securities are
valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered
fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final
settlement price set by an exchange on which they are
principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean
between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which
they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange
are valued by an
|
21 Invesco
High Yield Investments Fund, Inc.
|
|
|
|
|
independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask
prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share,
futures and option contracts generally are valued
15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session
of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
|
|
|
Investments in open-end and closed-end
registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange
are valued at the end of day net asset value per share.
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment
companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales
price or official closing price as of the close of the customary
trading session on the exchange where the security is
principally traded.
|
|
|
Foreign securities (including foreign
exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts
using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE.
If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign
exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued
at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain
foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing
market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time
trading ends on a particular security and the close of the
customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are
significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may
fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected
the closing price of the security, the security will be valued
at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the
Board of Directors. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect
fair value may also be based on a screening process of an
independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty,
based on historical data, that the closing price in the
principal market where a foreign security trade is not the
current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities
meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not
reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of
fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple
factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in
determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include
information relating to sector indices, American Depositary
Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign
securities may have additional risks including exchange rate
changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high
inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of
issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the
potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and
standards.
|
|
|
Securities for which market prices are
not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based
upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price
may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the
last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations,
including Corporate Loans.
|
|
|
Securities for which market quotations
are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of
the Funds officers following procedures approved by the
Board of Directors. Issuer specific events, market trends,
bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other
market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith
determination of a securitys fair value.
|
|
|
Valuations change in response to many
factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the
issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic
conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market
liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation,
the values reflected in the financial statements may materially
differ from the value received upon actual sale of those
investments.
|
B.
|
|
Securities
Transactions and Investment Income
Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of
specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend
income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized
and/or
accreted for financial reporting purposes.
|
|
|
The Fund may periodically participate in
litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may
receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds
received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized
gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized
gain (loss) for investments still held.
|
|
|
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are
considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to
the cost basis of securities purchased
and/or
a
reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction
costs are included in the determination of net realized and
unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in
the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net
Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on
securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction
costs are included in the calculation of the Funds net
asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Funds total
returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating
expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported
in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net
Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of
expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial
Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation
arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
|
C.
|
|
Country
Determination
For the purposes of making
investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule
of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country
in which an issuer is located
and/or
credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors
include the laws of the country under which the issuer is
organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the
country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total
revenues and the country that has the primary market for the
issuers securities, as well as other criteria. Among the
other criteria that may be evaluated for making this
determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50%
or more of its assets, the type of security, financial
guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and
the sponsor organization. Country of issuer
and/or
credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States
of America, unless otherwise noted.
|
D.
|
|
Distributions
Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly.
Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are
generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The
Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from
redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.
|
E.
|
|
Federal Income
Taxes
The Fund intends to comply with the
requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to
distribute substantially all of the Funds taxable earnings
to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to
federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net
realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders.
Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in
the financial statements.
|
|
|
The Fund files tax returns in the
U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions.
Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing
authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return
for the tax period.
|
F.
|
|
Accounting
Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the
|
22 Invesco
High Yield Investments Fund, Inc.
|
|
|
|
|
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period including estimates and
assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ
from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the
Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur
or become known after the period-end date and before the date
the financial statements are released to print.
|
G.
|
|
Indemnifications
Under the Funds organizational documents, each Director,
officer, employee or other agent of the Fund is indemnified
against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of
their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of
business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the
Funds servicing agreements that contain a variety of
indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under
these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future
claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet
occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such
indemnification claims is considered remote.
|
H.
|
|
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For the purposes of the
Statement of Cash Flows the Fund defines Cash and Cash
Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market
funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes
investments made with cash collateral received.
|
I.
|
|
Securities
Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery
Basis
The Fund may purchase and sell
interests in Corporate Loans and Corporate Debt Securities and
other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery
basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No
income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in
connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund
actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These
transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject
to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than
the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally
purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such
securities, they may sell such securities prior to the
settlement date.
|
J.
|
|
Interest,
Facilities and Maintenance Fees
Interest,
Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related
borrowing costs such as commitment fees and other expenses
associated with lines of credit and interest and administrative
expenses related to establishing and maintaining floating rate
note obligations, if any.
|
K.
|
|
Foreign Currency
Translations
Foreign currency is valued
at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and
major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases
and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld
on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the
respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not
separately account for the portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments
and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of
securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign
exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on
investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from
investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net
realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from
(1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or
losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the
amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes
recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar
equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net
unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes
in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than
investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from
changes in exchange rates.
|
|
|
The Fund may invest in foreign
securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income,
gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of
which may be recoverable.
|
L.
|
|
Foreign Currency
Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign
currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange
rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency
contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in
a foreign currency in order to lock in the
U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency
contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific
currency for an
agreed-upon
price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts
does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying
securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a
rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these
contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date
and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When
the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded.
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are
included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks
associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of
the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value
of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be
in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities.
|
M.
|
|
Other
Risks
The Fund may invest in
lower-quality debt securities, i.e., junk bonds.
Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of
comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic
conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a
greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities
are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other
creditors claim.
|
NOTE 2Advisory
Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Fund has entered into a master investment advisory agreement
with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or
Invesco). Under the terms of the investment advisory
agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser at an
annual rate of 0.70% of the Funds average weekly net
assets.
Under the terms of a master
sub-advisory
agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset
Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited,
Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia
Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured
Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the
Affiliated
Sub-Advisers)
the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the
Adviser to any such Affiliated
Sub-Adviser(s)
that provide discretionary investment management services to the
Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such
Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at
least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees
and/or
reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the
Funds expenses after fee waiver
and/or
expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below)
to 0.98%. In determining the Advisers obligation to waive
advisory fees
and/or
reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into
account, and could cause the Funds expenses after fee
waiver
and/or
expense reimbursement to exceed the limit reflected above:
(1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees;
(2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales;
(4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including
litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has
incurred but did not actually pay because of an
23 Invesco
High Yield Investments Fund, Inc.
expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Directors and
Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver
agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed,
through at least June 30, 2012, to waive the advisory fee
payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net
advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money
market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in
such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended February 29, 2012, the
Adviser waived advisory fees of $58,038.
The Fund has entered into a master administrative
services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has
agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred
in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended
February 29, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement
are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative
services fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are
officers and directors of Invesco.
NOTE 3Additional
Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date,
under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the
highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices
in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and
the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs
(Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily
available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the
securities or other investments are tiered into one of three
levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in
or out of an investments assigned level:
|
|
|
|
Level 1
|
Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market
for identical assets.
|
|
Level 2
|
Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs.
Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may
use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit
risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount
rates, volatilities and others.
|
|
Level 3
|
Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In
situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are
unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market
activity for an investment at the end of the period),
unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the
Funds own assumptions about the factors market
participants would use in determining fair value of the
securities or instruments and would be based on the best
available information.
|
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation
input levels, as of February 29, 2012. The level assigned
to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the
risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values
reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from
the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
During the year ended February 29, 2012, there
were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5Directors
and Officers Fees and Benefits
Directors and Officers Fees and
Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay
remuneration to certain Directors and Officers of the Fund.
Directors have the option to defer compensation payable by the
Fund, and Directors and Officers Fees and
Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund
such deferred compensation amounts. Those Directors who defer
compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in
which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested.
Finally, certain current Directors are eligible to participate
in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon
retirement to Directors over a period of time based on the
number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former
Directors who also participate in a retirement plan and receive
benefits under such plan. Directors and
Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued
by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under
the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent
unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended February 29, 2012, the
Fund paid legal fees of $1,022 for services rendered by Kramer,
Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the
Independent Directors. A partner of that firm is a Director of
the Fund.
NOTE 6Cash
Balances and Borrowings
The Fund is a party to a revolving credit agreement with a
syndicate administered by State Street Bank and Trust Co.
(SSB). The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of
(1) $35,000,000, or (2) the limits set by its
prospectus for borrowings. The Fund is charged a commitment fee
of 0.15% on the unused balance of the committed line and an up
front fee 0.01% on the aggregate commitment. The credit
agreement will expire on April 12, 2012.
For the year ended February 29, 2012, the
average daily borrowings under the credit agreement was
$27,687,159, with a weighted average interest rate of 1.32%.
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a
negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the
custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown
in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable
caption
amount due custodian
. To compensate the custodian
bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either
(1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so
the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional
interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at
a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to
exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in
the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for
tax and book purposes. The Funds net unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily
to book/tax amortization and accretion differences and defaulted
securities.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of
timing differences between book and tax recognition of income
and/or
expenses. The Funds temporary book/tax differences are the
result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement
plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported
as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other
activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss
carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The
Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the
Act) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for
capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its
enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these
capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period.
However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be
used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses
without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally,
post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their
character as either short-term or long-term capital losses
instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The
ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may
be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related
regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund utilized $2,572,178 of capital loss
carryforward in the current period to offset net realized
capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a
capital loss carryforward as of February 29, 2012, which
expires as follows:

NOTE 9Reclassification
of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign
currency transactions and excise taxes, on February 29,
2012, undistributed net investment income was increased by
$60,386, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by
$2,403 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by
$57,983. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets
of the Fund.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and
liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the
related statements of operations, of changes in net assets and
of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Invesco High
Yield Investments Fund, Inc. (hereafter referred to as the
Fund) at February 29, 2012, the results of its
operations and cash flows for the year then ended, and the
changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the year
then ended, the period ended February 28, 2011 and the year
ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter
referred to as financial statements) are the
responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits, which included confirmation of
securities at February 29, 2012 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion. The financial highlights of the Fund for the periods
ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other
independent auditors whose report dated February 23, 2010
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Supplemental
Information
The disclosure concerning the investment objective, principal
investment strategies and principal risks of Invesco High Yield
Investments Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is being updated.
The investment objective has not changed; however, the Board of
Directors of the Fund approved a revised statement of the
principal investment strategies for the Fund. The revised
disclosure of the investment objective, principal investment
strategies and associated principal risks for the Fund is set
forth below.
Investment
Objective
The primary investment objective of Invesco High Yield
Investments Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is to seek a high
level of current income. As a secondary objective, the Fund
seeks capital appreciation.
The Funds investment objectives are
fundamental policies which may not be changed without the
approval of a majority of the Funds outstanding voting
securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act).
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Funds
total assets will be invested in high yield securities issued by
U.S. and
non-U.S. corporate
issuers, including issuers located in emerging market countries.
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign
securities and may invest up to 15% of its total assets in
securities of issuers located in developing markets. The Fund
may also invest in securities, whether or not considered foreign
securities, which carry foreign credit exposure.
The high yield securities in which the Fund invests
include debt obligations and preferred stock. Such securities
generally will be rated, at the time of investment, below
investment grade (that is, rated Ba or lower by
Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys)
or BB or lower by Standard & Poors
Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill
Companies, Inc. (S&P) or, if not rated,
determined by the Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the
Adviser) to be of comparable quality. Debt
securities rated by both Moodys or S&P need only
satisfy the foregoing ratings standards with respect to either
the Moodys or the S&P rating. There is no minimum
rating requirement for the securities in which the Fund invests.
However, the Fund anticipates that under normal market
conditions no more than 25% of the Funds total assets will
be rated, at the time of investment, below B by
Moodys or S&P, or will be unrated and deemed by the
Adviser to be of comparable quality.
The Funds high yield investments may have
equity features, such as conversion rights. The Fund may invest
up to 20% of its total assets in fixed income securities that
are investment grade (e.g., rated in one of the top four
categories or of comparable quality as determined by the
Adviser) and have maturities of one year or less. The Fund may
invest in or own securities of companies in various stages of
financial restructuring, bankruptcy or reorganization which are
not currently paying interest or dividends to the extent that
the total value, at time of purchase, of all such securities
will not exceed 10% of the value of the Funds total assets.
The Funds investments in government and
government-related debt securities may consist of (i) debt
securities or obligations issued or guaranteed by governments,
governmental agencies or instrumentalities and political
subdivisions located in developing countries, (ii) debt
securities or obligations issued by government owned, controlled
or sponsored entities located in developing countries, and
(iii) interests in issuers organized and operated for the
purpose of restructuring the investment characteristics of
instruments issued by any of the entities described above.
The Fund may use leverage in an amount of up to
33
1
/
3
%
of the Funds total assets after the use of such leverage
in an effort to maximize its returns. The Fund currently
utilizes leverage in the form of borrowings. The amount of
borrowings outstanding from time to time may vary, depending on
the Advisers analysis of market conditions and interest
rate movements.
Selection
of Investments
The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in obligations
or securities that are, at the time of investment, rated below
investment grade (that is, rated Ba or lower by
Moodys or BB or lower by S&P) or, if not
rated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
Ratings of S&P and Moodys represent their opinions of
the quality of the securities they undertake to rate at the time
of issuance. However, ratings are not absolute standards of
quality and may not reflect changes in an issuers
creditworthiness. Accordingly, while the Adviser considers
ratings, it performs its own analysis and does not rely
principally on ratings. The Adviser considers, among other
things, the price of the security, and the financial history and
condition, prospects and the management of an issuer in
selecting securities for the Fund. The Fund may buy unrated
securities that the Adviser believes are comparable to rated
securities that are consistent with the Funds objective
and policies. The Adviser may vary the average maturity of the
securities in the Fund without limit and there is no restriction
on the maturity of any individual security.
Temporary
Investments
During periods in which the Adviser believes changes in
economic, financial or political conditions make it advisable,
the Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, reduce its
holdings in high yield securities and invest part or all of its
total assets in cash or in certain other short-term (less than
twelve months to maturity) debt securities, including
certificates of deposit, commercial paper, notes, obligations
issued or guaranteed by the United States government or any of
its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements
involving such government securities. While the Fund conducts
such a defensive strategy, the Funds assets will not be
invested in securities consistent with the Funds primary
objective of high current income.
Other
Investments
Loans.
The Fund may invest in fixed and
floating rate loans. Loans are typically arranged through
private negotiations between the borrower and one or more
lenders. Loans generally have a more senior claim in the
borrowers capital structure relative to corporate bonds or
other subordinated debt. The loans in which the Fund invests are
generally in the form of loan assignments and participations of
all or a portion of a loan from another lender. In the case of
an assignment, the Fund acquires direct rights against the
borrower on the loan, however, the Funds rights and
obligations as the purchaser of an assignment may differ from,
and be more limited than, those held by the assigning lender. In
the case of a participation, the Fund typically has the right to
receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it
is entitled only from the lender selling the participation and
only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the
borrower. In the event of insolvency of the lender selling the
participation, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of
the lender and may not benefit from any setoff between the
lender and the borrower.
31 Invesco
High Yield Investments Fund, Inc.
Bank Loans.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of
its assets in public bank loans made by banks or other financial
institutions, which may be rated investment grade (Baa or higher
by Moodys BBB or higher by S&P) or below investment
grade (below Baa by Moodys or below BBB by S&P).
Public bank loans are privately negotiated loans for which
information about the issuer has been made publicly available.
However, public bank loans are not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities
Act) and are not publicly traded. They usually are second
lien loans normally lower in priority of payment to senior
loans, but have seniority in a companys capital structure
to other claims, such as subordinated corporate bonds or
publicly-issued equity so that in the event of bankruptcy or
liquidation, the company is required to pay down these second
lien loans prior to such other lower-ranked claims on their
assets. Bank loans normally pay floating rates that reset
frequently, and as a result, protect investors from increases in
interest rates.
Private Placements and Restricted Securities.
The Fund may invest in privately placed securities, including
securities that are not registered under the Securities Act, but
that can be offered and sold to qualified, institutional buyers
under Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
Convertible Securities.
The Fund may invest
up to 10% of its total assets in convertible securities. A
convertible security is a bond, debenture, note, preferred stock
or other security that may be converted into or exchanged for,
or may otherwise entitle the holder to purchase, a prescribed
amount of common stock or any equity security of the same or a
different issuer within a particular period of time at a
specified price or formula. A convertible security entitles the
holder to receive interest paid or accrued on debt or the
dividend paid on preferred stock until the convertible security
matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged.
Zero Coupon,
Pay-in-Kind
and Deferred Payment Securities.
The Fund may invest in zero
coupon,
pay-in-kind
or deferred payment securities. Zero coupon securities do not
entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest prior to
maturity and therefore are issued and trade at a discount from
their face or par value.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities.
The Fund
may invest up to 20% of its total assets in fixed-income
securities that are not readily marketable, including securities
restricted as to resale. No security that is not readily
marketable will be acquired unless the Adviser believes such
security to be of comparable quality to publicly-traded
securities in which the Fund may invest. Certain fixed-income
securities are somewhat liquid and may become more liquid as
secondary markets for these securities continue to develop.
These securities will be included in, or excluded from, the 20%
limitation on a
case-by-case
basis by the Adviser, depending on the perceived liquidity of
the security and market involved.
Derivatives.
Subject to the Funds
fundamental investment limitations regarding buying securities
on margin and purchasing or selling financial futures or
options, the Fund may use derivative instruments for a variety
of purposes, including hedging, risk management, portfolio
management or to earn income. Derivatives are financial
instruments whose value is based on the value of another
underlying asset, interest rate, index or financial instrument.
Derivative instruments and techniques that the Fund may use
include:
Futures.
A futures contract is a standardized
agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specific quantity
of an underlying instrument at a specific price at a specific
future time. The value of a futures contract tends to increase
and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying
instrument. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with
both the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete
the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular
contract, futures contracts are settled through either physical
delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or
by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts.
In
connection with its investments in foreign securities, the Fund
also may enter into contracts with banks, brokers or dealers to
purchase or sell securities or foreign currencies at a future
date (forward contracts). A foreign currency forward
contract is a negotiated agreement between the contracting
parties to exchange a specified amount of currency at a
specified future time at a specified rate. The rate can be
higher or lower than the spot rate between the currencies that
are the subject of the contract. Forward foreign currency
exchange contracts may be used to protect against uncertainty in
the level of future foreign currency exchange rates or to gain
or modify exposure to a particular currency. In addition, the
Fund may use futures to effect cross currency hedging or proxy
hedging with respect to currencies in which the Fund has or
expects to have portfolio or currency exposure. Cross currency
hedges involve the sale of one currency against the positive
exposure to a different currency and may be used for hedging
purposes or to establish an active exposure to the exchange rate
between any two currencies.
Money Market Funds.
To the extent permitted
by applicable law and the Funds investment objectives,
policies, and restrictions, the Fund may invest all or some of
its short-term cash investments in money market funds, including
money market funds advised or managed by the Adviser or its
affiliates. When the Fund purchases shares of another investment
company, including an affiliated money market fund, the Fund
will indirectly bear its proportionate share of the advisory
fees and other operating expenses of such investment company and
will be subject to the risks associated with the portfolio
investments of the underlying investment company.
Principal Risks
of Investing in the Fund
As with any fund investment, loss of money is a risk of
investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank
and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. As with
any managed fund, the Adviser may not be successful in selecting
the best-performing securities or investment techniques, and the
Funds performance may lag behind that of similar funds.
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase
during times of significant market volatility.
Market Risk.
Market risk is the possibility
that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will
decline. The net asset value of the Fund will change with
changes in the value of its portfolio securities, and the value
of the Funds investments can be expected to fluctuate over
time. The financial markets in general are subject to volatility
and may at times experience extreme volatility and uncertainty,
which may affect all investment securities, including debt
securities and derivative instruments. Volatility may be greater
during periods of general economic uncertainty.
Credit Risk.
Credit risk refers to an
issuers ability to make timely payments of interest and
principal when due. Fixed income securities are subject to the
credit risk of nonpayment. The ability of issuers of fixed
income securities to make timely payments of interest and
principal may be adversely affected by, among other things,
general economic downturns and economic factors affecting
specific issuers. Nonpayment would result in a reduction of
income to the Fund, and a potential decrease in the net asset
value of the Fund. The Adviser continuously monitors the issuers
of securities held in the Fund.
The Fund will rely on the Advisers judgment,
analysis and experience in evaluating the creditworthiness of an
issuer. In its analysis, the Adviser may consider the credit
ratings of nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations (NRSROs) in evaluating securities,
although the Adviser does not rely primarily on these ratings.
Credit ratings of NRSROs evaluate only the safety of principal
and interest payments, not the market risk. In addition, ratings
are general and not absolute standards of quality, and the
creditworthiness of an issuer may decline significantly before
an NRSRO lowers the issuers rating. A rating downgrade
does not require the Fund to dispose of a security.
32 Invesco
High Yield Investments Fund, Inc.
Risk of Investing in Lower-Grade Securities.
Securities that are in the lower-grade categories generally
offer higher yields than are offered by higher-grade securities
of similar maturities, but they also generally involve greater
risks, such as greater credit risk, market risk, volatility and
illiquidity risk. Secondary market prices of lower-grade
securities generally are less sensitive than higher-grade
securities to changes in interest rates and are more sensitive
to general adverse economic changes or specific developments
with respect to the particular issuers. A significant increase
in interest rates or a general economic downturn may
significantly affect the ability of issuers of lower-grade
securities to pay interest and to repay principal, or to obtain
additional financing, any of which could severely disrupt the
market for lower-grade securities and adversely affect the
market value of such securities. Such events also could lead to
a higher incidence of default by issuers of lower-grade
securities. In addition, changes in credit risks, interest
rates, the credit markets or periods of general economic
uncertainty can be expected to result in increased volatility in
the price of the lower-grade securities and the net asset value
of the Fund. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether
or not based on rational analysis, may affect the value,
volatility and liquidity of lower-grade securities.
In the event that an issuer of securities held by
the Fund experiences difficulties in the timely payment of
principal and interest and such issuer seeks to restructure the
terms of its borrowings, the Fund may incur additional expenses
and may determine to invest additional assets with respect to
such issuer or the project or projects to which the Funds
securities relate. Further, the Fund may incur additional
expenses to the extent that it is required to seek recovery upon
a default in the payment of interest or the repayment of
principal on its portfolio holdings and the Fund may be unable
to obtain full recovery on such amounts.
Investments in debt obligations that are at risk of
or in default present special tax issues for the Fund. Federal
income tax rules are not entirely clear about issues such as
when the Fund may cease to accrue interest, original issue
discount or market discount, when and to what extent deductions
may be taken for bad debts or worthless securities, how payments
received on obligations in default should be allocated between
principal and interest and whether certain exchanges of debt
obligations in a workout context are taxable. These and other
issues will be addressed by the Fund, in the event it invests in
or holds such securities, in order to seek to ensure that it
distributes sufficient income to preserve its status as a
regulated investment company.
Interest Rate Risk.
Because the Fund invests
primarily in fixed income securities, the net asset value of the
Fund can be expected to change as general levels of interest
rates fluctuate. When interest rates decline, the value of a
portfolio invested in fixed income securities generally can be
expected to rise. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the
value of a portfolio invested in fixed income securities
generally can be expected to decline. The prices of longer term
fixed income securities generally are more volatile with respect
to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter term
fixed income securities. These risks may be greater in the
current market environment because certain interest rates are
near historically low levels.
Income Risk.
The income you receive from the
Fund is based primarily on prevailing interest rates, which can
vary widely over the short and long term. If interest rates
decrease, your income from the Fund may decrease as well.
Risk of Investing in Loans.
When the Fund
purchases loans from lenders in the form of assignments, it will
acquire direct rights against the borrower on the loan although
the rights and obligations acquired by the Fund as the purchaser
of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than,
those held by the assigning lender. The Fund may have difficulty
disposing of loan assignments and participations as such
interests are generally sold only to institutional investors.
The lack of a liquid secondary market may have an adverse impact
on the value of such interests and the Funds ability to
dispose of particular assignments or participations when
necessary to meet the Funds liquidity needs or in response
to a specific economic event such as a deterioration in the
creditworthiness of the borrower.
Risk of Investing in Bank Loans.
By investing
in a bank loan, the Fund becomes a member of a syndicate of
lenders, who are typically represented by one or more lenders
agents acting as agent for all the lenders. Certain public bank
loans are illiquid, meaning the Fund may not be able to sell
them quickly at a fair price, and may also be difficult to
value. The secondary market for bank loans may be subject to
irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended
trade settlement periods. Bank loans are subject to the risk of
default, which will increase in the event of an economic
downturn or a substantial increase in interest rates. Because
public bank loans usually rank lower in priority of payment to
senior loans, they present a greater degree of investment risk
due to the fact that the cash flow or other property of the
borrower securing the bank loan may be insufficient to meet
scheduled payments after meeting the payment obligations of the
senior secured obligations of the borrower. Bank loans may
therefore exhibit greater price volatility. Bank loans that are
rated below investment grade share the same risks of other below
investment grade securities.
Borrowings Risk.
Borrowing money to buy
securities exposes the Fund to leverage because the Fund can
achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that
common shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Leveraging may
cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the
effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the
Funds portfolio securities. To the extent that the then
current interest rate on and other costs related to the
borrowings approaches the net return on the Funds
investment portfolio, the benefit of leverage to the common
shareholders will be reduced, and if the then current interest
rate on and other costs related to the borrowings were to exceed
the net return on the Funds portfolio, the Funds
leveraged capital structure would result in a lower rate of
return to the common shareholders than if the Fund were not so
leveraged. If the Funds current investment income were not
sufficient to meet interest requirements on the borrowings, the
Fund might have to liquidate certain of its investments in order
to meet required interest payments, thereby reducing the net
asset value.
Management of the amount of outstanding borrowings
places greater reliance on the ability of the Adviser to predict
trends in interest rates than if the Fund did not use leverage.
Further, reduction and increase of the borrowings outstanding,
and any related trading of the Funds portfolio securities,
results in increased transaction costs to the Fund and its
common shareholders.
Lenders have the right to receive interest on and
repayment of principal of any borrowings, which right will be
senior to those of shareholders. Any such borrowings may contain
provisions limiting certain activities of the Fund, including
the payment of dividends to shareholders in certain
circumstances. Certain types of borrowings subject the Fund to
covenants in credit agreements relating to asset coverage and
portfolio composition requirements. Certain borrowings issued by
the Fund also may subject the Fund to certain restrictions on
investments imposed by guidelines of one or more rating
agencies, which may issue ratings for such borrowings. Such
guidelines may impose asset coverage or portfolio composition
requirements that are more stringent than those imposed by the
1940 Act.
There can be no assurance that the Funds
leverage strategy will be successful.
Call Risk.
If interest rates fall, it is
possible that issuers of securities with high interest rates
will prepay or call their securities before their maturity
dates. In this event, the proceeds from the called securities
would likely be reinvested by the Fund in securities bearing the
new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in
the Funds income and distributions to shareholders.
33 Invesco
High Yield Investments Fund, Inc.
Convertible Securities Risk.
The values of
convertible securities in which the Fund may invest may be
affected by market interest rates. The values of convertible
securities also may be affected by the risk of actual issuer
default on interest or principal payments and the value of the
underlying stock. Additionally, an issuer may retain the right
to buy back its convertible securities at a time and price
unfavorable to the Fund.
Risks of Using Derivative Instruments.
A
derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying
instrument and may have additional risks, including imperfect
correlation between the value of the derivative and the
underlying instrument or instrument being hedged, risks of
default by the other party to certain transactions,
magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market
value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest rates
to which they relate, and risks that the derivatives may not be
liquid. The use of derivatives involves risks that are different
from, and potentially greater than, the risks associated with
other portfolio investments. Derivatives may involve the use of
highly specialized instruments that require investment
techniques and risk analyses different from those associated
with other portfolio investments. Certain derivative
transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage
associated with derivative transactions may cause the Fund to
liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to
do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet earmarking or
segregation requirements, pursuant to applicable SEC rules and
regulations, or may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if
the Fund had not been leveraged. The Fund could suffer a loss
related to its derivative positions as a result of unanticipated
market movements, which losses may potentially be unlimited.
Although the Adviser may seek to use derivatives to further the
Funds investment objective, the Fund is not required to
use derivatives and may choose not to do so and there is no
assurance that the use of derivatives will achieve this result.
Counterparty Risk.
The Fund will be subject
to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the
derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. If a
counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its
obligations under a derivative contract due to financial
difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in
obtaining any recovery under the derivative contract in
bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may
obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such
circumstances.
Futures Risk.
A decision as to whether, when
and how to use futures involves the exercise of skill and
judgment and even a well-conceived futures transaction may be
unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. In
addition to the derivatives risks discussed above, the prices of
futures can be highly volatile, using futures can lower total
return, and the potential loss from futures can exceed the
Funds initial investment in such contracts.
Tax Risk.
The Funds use of derivatives
may be limited by the requirements for taxation as a regulated
investment company. The tax treatment of derivatives may be
adversely affected by changes in legislation, regulations or
other legal authority, subjecting the Funds shareholders
to increased federal income tax liabilities.
Foreign Securities Risk.
The dollar value of
the Funds foreign investments may be affected by changes
in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in
which those investments are traded. The value of the Funds
foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and
social instability in their home countries, by changes in
economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the
difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign
companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations
than U.S. companies, including financial reporting
requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result,
there generally is less publicly available information about
foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in
many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile
than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other
factors.
Emerging Markets Risk.
The prices of
securities issued by foreign companies and governments located
in developing countries may be impacted by certain factors more
than those in countries with mature economies. For example,
developing countries may experience higher rates of inflation or
sharply devalue their currencies against the U.S. dollar,
thereby causing the value of investments issued by the
government or companies located in those countries to decline.
Governments in developing markets may be relatively less stable.
The introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes,
nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest,
or war may result in adverse volatility in the prices of
securities or currencies. Other factors may include additional
transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of
timely information.
Currency/Exchange Rate Risk.
The dollar value
of the Funds foreign investments will be affected by
changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the
currencies in which those investments are traded. The Fund may
buy or sell currencies other than the U.S. dollar in order
to capitalize on anticipated changes in exchange rates. There is
no guarantee that these investments will be successful.
Liquidity Risk.
Liquidity relates to the
ability of a fund to sell a security in a timely manner at a
price which reflects the value of that security. To the extent
the Fund owns or may acquire illiquid or restricted securities,
these securities may involve special registration requirements,
liabilities and costs, and liquidity and valuation difficulties.
The markets for lower-grade securities may be less liquid than
the markets for higher-grade securities.
Preferred Securities Risk.
There are special
risks associated with investing in preferred securities.
Preferred securities may include provisions that permit the
issuer, in its discretion, to defer or omit distributions for a
certain period of time. If the Fund owns a security that is
deferring or omitting its distributions, the Fund may be
required to report the distribution on its tax returns, even
though it may not have received this income. Further, preferred
securities may lose substantial value due to the omission or
deferment of dividend payments.
Unrated Securities.
Many lower-grade
securities are not listed for trading on any national securities
exchange, and many issuers of lower-grade securities choose not
to have a rating assigned to their obligations by any NRSRO. As
a result, the Funds portfolio may consist of a higher
portion of unlisted or unrated securities as compared with an
investment company that invests solely in higher-grade, listed
securities. Unrated securities are usually not as attractive to
as many buyers as are rated securities, a factor which may make
unrated securities less marketable. These factors may limit the
ability of the Fund to sell such securities at their fair value.
The Fund may be more reliant on the Advisers judgment and
analysis in evaluating the creditworthiness of an issuer of
unrated securities.
U.S. Government Obligations Risk
.
Obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and
instrumentalities may receive varying levels of support from the
government, which could affect the Funds ability to
recover should they default.
Zero
Coupon/Pay-in-Kind
Bond Risk.
Prices on non-cash-paying instruments may be more
sensitive to changes in the issuers financial condition,
fluctuations in interest rates and market demand/supply
imbalances than cash-paying securities with similar credit
ratings, and thus may be more speculative than are securities
that pay interest periodically in cash. These securities may
subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that does
not own these types of securities. Special tax considerations
are associated with investing in non-cash-paying instruments,
such as zero coupon or
pay-in-kind
securities. The Adviser will weigh these concerns against the
expected total returns from such instruments. In addition, the
Fund would be required to distribute the income on these
instruments as it accrues, even though the Fund will not receive
all of the income on a current basis or in cash. Thus, the Fund
may have to sell other investments, including when it may not be
advisable to do so, to make income distributions to the commons
shareholders.

Directors
and Officers
The address of each director and
officer is 1555 Peachtree, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309.

pursuant to SEC regulations, if any, is compatible with maintaining PWCs independence. To
the extent that such services were provided, the Audit Committee determined that the
provision of such services is compatible with PWC maintaining independence with respect to
the Registrant.
|
PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
As adopted by the Audit Committees of
the Invesco Funds (the Funds)
Last Amended May 4, 2010
Statement of Principles
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) (Rules), the Audit Committees of the Funds (the Audit Committees) Board of
Trustees (the Board) are responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work
of independent accountants (an Auditor). As part of this responsibility and to assure that the
Auditors independence is not impaired, the Audit Committees pre-approve the audit and non-audit
services provided to the Funds by each Auditor, as well as all non-audit services provided by the
Auditor to the Funds investment adviser and to affiliates of the adviser that provide ongoing
services to the Funds (Service Affiliates) if the services directly impact the Funds operations
or financial reporting. The SEC Rules also specify the types of services that an Auditor may not
provide to its audit client. The following policies and procedures comply with the requirements
for pre-approval and provide a mechanism by which management of the Funds may request and secure
pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal
business operations.
Proposed services either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case
services by the Audit Committees (general pre-approval) or require the specific pre-approval of
the Audit Committees (specific pre-approval). As set forth in these policies and procedures,
unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval
by the Audit Committees. Additionally, any fees exceeding 110% of estimated pre-approved fee
levels provided at the time the service was pre-approved will also require specific approval by the
Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will also consider the impact of
additional fees on the Auditors independence when determining whether to approve any additional
fees for previously pre-approved services.
The Audit Committees will annually review and generally pre-approve the services that may be
provided by each Auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee generally
on an annual basis. The term of any general pre-approval runs from the date of such pre-approval
through September 30
th
of the following year, unless the Audit Committees consider a
different period and state otherwise. The Audit Committees will add to or subtract from the list
of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
The purpose of these policies and procedures is to set forth the guidelines to assist the Audit
Committees in fulfilling their responsibilities.
Delegation
The Audit Committees may from time to time delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of
its members who are Independent Trustees. All decisions to pre-approve a service by a delegated
member shall be reported to the Audit Committees at the next quarterly meeting.
Audit Services
The annual audit services engagement terms will be subject to specific pre-approval of the
Audit Committees. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures
such as tax provision work that is required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able
to form an opinion on the Funds financial statements. The Audit Committees will obtain, review
and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to make a reasonable evaluation
of the Auditors qualifications and independence.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement, the Audit Committees may grant either general
or specific pre-approval of other audit services, which are those services that only the
independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include services such as
issuing consents for the inclusion of audited financial statements with SEC registration
statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in
connection with securities offerings.
Non-Audit Services
The Audit Committees may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any non-audit
services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committees believe that the provision
of the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor, is consistent with the SECs Rules
on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committees general principles and
policies as set forth herein.
Audit-Related Services
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the
performance of the audit or review of the Funds financial statements or that are traditionally
performed by the independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting
consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as
Audit services; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial
reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; and agreed-upon procedures related to mergers,
compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities.
Tax Services
Tax services include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds federal tax
returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters
such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit
Committees will scrutinize carefully the retention of the Auditor in connection with a transaction
initially recommended by the Auditor, the major business purpose of which may be tax avoidance or
the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related
regulations. The Audit Committees will consult with the Funds Treasurer (or his or her designee)
and may consult with outside counsel or advisors as necessary to ensure the consistency of Tax
services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy.
No Auditor shall represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or
federal court of claims.
Under rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and approved by the SEC, in
connection with seeking Audit Committees pre-approval of permissible Tax services, the Auditor
shall:
|
1. Describe in writing to the Audit Committees, which writing may be in the form of the
proposed engagement letter:
|
|
a.
|
|
The scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any
side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between
the Auditor and the Fund, relating to the service; and
|
|
b.
|
|
Any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral
agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor and any
person (other than the Fund) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or
recommending of a transaction covered by the service;
|
|
2. Discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the
independence of the Auditor; and
|
|
3. Document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committees.
|
All Other Auditor Services
The Audit Committees may pre-approve non-audit services classified as All other services that are
not categorically prohibited by the SEC, as listed in Exhibit 1 to this policy.
Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Established Amounts
Pre-approval of estimated fees or established amounts for services to be provided by the
Auditor under general or specific pre-approval policies will be set periodically by the Audit
Committees. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum estimated pre-approved fees or
established amounts for pre-approved audit and non-audit services will be reported to the Audit
Committees at the quarterly Audit Committees meeting and will require specific approval by the
Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will always factor
in the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to
pre-approve any such services and in determining whether to approve any additional fees exceeding
110% of the maximum pre-approved fees or established amounts for previously pre-approved services.
Procedures
Generally on an annual basis, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco) will submit to the Audit
Committees for general pre-approval, a list of non-audit services that the Funds or Service
Affiliates of the Funds may request from the Auditor. The list will describe the non-audit
services in reasonable detail and will include an estimated range of fees and such other
information as the Audit Committee may request.
Each request for services to be provided by the Auditor under the general pre-approval of the Audit
Committees will be submitted to the Funds Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include a
detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Treasurer or his or her designee will
ensure that such services are included within the list of services that have received the general
pre-approval of the Audit Committees. The Audit Committees will be informed at the next quarterly
scheduled Audit Committees meeting of any such services for which the Auditor rendered an invoice
and whether such services and fees had been pre-approved and if so, by what means.
Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committees shall be
submitted to the Audit Committees jointly by the Funds Treasurer or his or her designee and the
Auditor, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, such request is consistent with
the policies and procedures and the SEC Rules.
Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit
Committees will describe in writing: (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the
engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement
between the Auditor and the audit client, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation
arrangement or other agreement between the Auditor and any person (other than the audit client)
with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service.
The Auditor will discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the
Auditors independence and will document the substance of the discussion.
Non-audit services pursuant to the
de minimis
exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly
brought to the attention of the Audit Committees for approval, including documentation that each of
the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the SEC Rules, has been satisfied.
On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will prepare a summary of all the services provided to any
entity in the investment company complex as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X in
sufficient detail as to the nature of the engagement and the fees associated with those services.
The Audit Committees have designated the Funds Treasurer to monitor the performance of all
services provided by the Auditor and to ensure such services are in compliance with these policies
and procedures. The Funds Treasurer will report to the Audit Committees on a periodic basis as to
the results of such monitoring. Both the Funds Treasurer and management of Invesco will
immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committees any breach of these policies and
procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds Treasurer or senior management of Invesco.
Exhibit 1 to Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services Policies and Procedures

The following policies and procedures apply to all institutional accounts, clients and
funds managed by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco). These policies and procedures do not apply to
any of the retail funds managed by Invesco. See Section I.2 for the proxy policies and procedures
applicable to Invescos retail funds.
A. POLICY STATEMENT
Invesco has responsibility for making investment decisions that are in the best interests of its
clients. As part of the investment management services it provides to clients, Invesco may be
authorized by clients to vote proxies appurtenant to the shares for which the clients are
beneficial owners.
Invesco believes that it has a duty to manage clients assets in the best economic interests of its
clients and that the ability to vote proxies is a client asset.
Invesco reserves the right to amend its proxy policies and procedures from time to time without
prior notice to its clients.
Voting of Proxies
Invesco will vote client proxies relating to equity securities in accordance with the procedures
set forth below unless a non-ERISA client retains in writing the right to vote, the named fiduciary
(e.g., the plan sponsor) of an ERISA client retains in writing the right to direct the plan trustee
or a third party to vote proxies, or Invesco determines that any benefit the client might gain from
voting a proxy
would be outweighed by the costs associated therewith. In addition, due to the
distinct nature of proxy voting for interests in fixed income assets and stable value wrap
agreements, the proxies for such fixed income assets and stable value wrap
agreements will be voted in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Proxy Voting for Fixed
Income Assets and Stable Value Wrap Agreements section below.
Best Economic Interests of Clients
In voting proxies, Invesco will take into consideration those factors that may affect the value of
the security and will vote proxies in a manner in which, in its opinion, is in the best economic
interests of clients. Invesco endeavors to resolve any conflicts of interest exclusively in the
best economic interests of clients.
B. OPERATING PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBLE PARTIES
RiskMetrics Services
Invesco has contracted with RiskMetrics Group (RiskMetrics, formerly known as ISS), an
independent third party service provider, to vote Invescos clients proxies according to
RiskMetrics proxy voting recommendations determined by RiskMetrics pursuant to its then-current US
Proxy Voting Guidelines, a summary of which can be found at
http://www.riskmetrics.com
and which
are deemed to be incorporated herein. In addition, RiskMetrics will provide proxy analyses, vote
recommendations, vote execution and record-keeping services for clients for which Invesco has proxy
voting responsibility. On an annual basis, the Proxy Committee will review information obtained
from RiskMetrics to ascertain whether RiskMetrics (i) has the capacity and competency to adequately
analyze proxy issues, and (ii) can make such recommendations in an impartial manner and in the best
economic interests of Invescos clients. This may include a review of RiskMetrics Policies,
Procedures and Practices Regarding Potential Conflicts of Interest and obtaining information about
the work RiskMetrics does for corporate issuers and the payments RiskMetrics receives from such
issuers.
Custodians forward to RiskMetrics proxy materials for clients who rely on Invesco to vote proxies.
RiskMetrics is responsible for exercising the voting rights in accordance with the RiskMetrics
proxy voting guidelines. If Invesco receives proxy materials in connection with a clients account
where the client has, in writing, communicated to Invesco that the client, plan fiduciary or other
third party has reserved the right to vote proxies, Invesco will forward to the party appointed by
client any proxy materials it receives with respect to the account. In order to avoid voting
proxies in circumstances where Invesco, or any of its affiliates have or may have any conflict of
interest, real or perceived, Invesco has engaged RiskMetrics to provide the proxy analyses, vote
recommendations and voting of proxies.
In the event that (i) RiskMetrics recuses itself on a proxy voting matter and makes no
recommendation or (ii) Invesco decides to override the RiskMetrics vote recommendation, the Proxy
Committee will review the issue and direct RiskMetrics how to vote the proxies as described below.
Proxy Voting for Fixed Income Assets and Stable Value Wrap Agreements
Some of Invescos fixed income clients hold interests in preferred stock of companies and some of
Invescos stable value clients are parties to wrap agreements. From time to time, companies that
have issued preferred stock or that are parties to wrap agreements request that Invescos clients
vote proxies on particular matters. RiskMetrics does not currently provide proxy analysis or vote
recommendations with respect to such proxy votes. Therefore, when a particular matter arises in
this category, the investment team responsible for the particular mandate will review the matter
and make a recommendation to the Proxy Manager as to how to vote the associated proxy. The Proxy
Manager will complete the proxy ballots and send the ballots to the persons or entities identified
in the ballots.
Proxy Committee
The Proxy Committee shall have seven (7) members, which shall include representatives from
portfolio management, operations, and legal/compliance or other functional departments as deemed
appropriate and who are knowledgeable regarding the proxy process. A majority of the members of
the Proxy Committee shall constitute a quorum and the Proxy Committee shall act by a majority vote
of those members in attendance at a meeting called for the purpose of determining how to vote a
particular proxy. The Proxy Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings that shall be kept with
the proxy voting records of Invesco. The Proxy Committee will appoint a Proxy Manager to manage
the proxy voting process, which includes the voting of proxies and the maintenance of appropriate
records.
The Proxy Manager shall call for a meeting of the Proxy Committee (1) when override submissions are
made; and (2) in instances when RiskMetrics has recused itself or has not provided a vote
recommendation with respect to an equity security. At such meeting, the Proxy Committee shall
determine how proxies are to be voted in accordance with the factors set forth in the section
entitled Best Economic Interests of Clients, above.
The Proxy Committee also is responsible for monitoring adherence to these procedures and engaging
in the annual review described in the section entitled RiskMetrics Services, above.
Recusal by RiskMetrics or Failure of RiskMetrics to Make a Recommendation
When RiskMetrics does not make a recommendation on a proxy voting issue or recuses itself due to a
conflict of interest, the Proxy Committee will review the issue and determine whether Invesco has a
material conflict of interest as determined pursuant to the policies and procedures outlined in the
Conflicts of Interest section below. If Invesco determines it does not have a material conflict
of interest, Invesco will direct RiskMetrics how to vote the proxies. If Invesco determines it
does have a material conflict of interest, the Proxy Committee will follow the policies and
procedures set forth in such section.
Override of RiskMetrics Recommendation
There may be occasions where Invesco investment personnel, senior officers or a member of the Proxy
Committee seek to override a RiskMetrics recommendation if they believe that a RiskMetrics
recommendation is not in accordance with the best economic interests of clients. In the event that
an individual listed above in this section disagrees with a RiskMetrics recommendation on a
particular voting issue, the individual shall document in writing the reasons that he/she believes
that the RiskMetrics recommendation is not in accordance with clients best economic interests and
submit such written documentation to the Proxy Manager for consideration by the Proxy Committee
along with the certification attached as Appendix A hereto. Upon review of the documentation and
consultation with the individual and others as the Proxy Committee deems appropriate, the Proxy
Committee may make a determination to override the RiskMetrics voting recommendation if the
Committee determines that it is in the best economic interests of clients and the Committee has
addressed any conflict of interest.
Proxy Committee Meetings
When a Proxy Committee Meeting is called, whether because of a RiskMetrics recusal or request for
override of a RiskMetrics recommendation, the Proxy Committee shall request from the Chief
Compliance Officer as to whether any Invesco person has reported a conflict of interest.
The Proxy Committee shall review the report from the Chief Compliance Officer to determine whether
a real or perceived conflict of interest exists, and the minutes of the Proxy Committee shall:
|
(1)
|
|
describe any real or perceived conflict of interest,
|
|
|
(2)
|
|
determine whether such real or perceived conflict of interest is material,
|
|
|
(3)
|
|
discuss any procedure used to address such conflict of interest,
|
|
|
(4)
|
|
report any contacts from outside parties (other than routine communications
from proxy solicitors), and
|
|
|
(5)
|
|
include confirmation that the recommendation as to how the proxies are to be
voted is in the best economic interests of clients and was made without regard to any
conflict of interest.
|
Based on the above review and determinations, the Proxy Committee will direct RiskMetrics how to
vote the proxies as provided herein.
Certain Proxy Votes May Not Be Cast
In some cases, Invesco may determine that it is not in the best economic interests of clients to
vote proxies. For example, proxy voting in certain countries outside
the United States requires share blocking. Shareholders who wish to vote their proxies must
deposit their shares 7 to 21 days before the date of the meeting with a designated depositary.
During the blocked period, shares to be voted at the meeting cannot be sold until the meeting has
taken place and the shares have been returned to the Custodian/Sub-Custodian bank. In addition,
voting certain international securities may involve unusual costs to clients, some of which may be
related to requirements of having a representative in person attend the proxy meeting. In other
cases, it may not be possible to vote certain proxies despite good faith efforts to do so, for
instance when inadequate notice of the matter is provided. In the instance of loan securities,
voting of proxies typically requires termination of the loan, so it is not usually in the best
economic interests of clients to vote proxies on loaned securities. Invesco typically will not,
but reserves the right to, vote where share blocking restrictions, unusual costs or other barriers
to efficient voting apply. Invesco will not vote if it determines that the cost of voting exceeds
the expected benefit to the client. The Proxy Manager shall record the reason for any proxy not
being voted, which record shall be kept with the proxy voting records of Invesco.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Procedures to Address Conflicts of Interest and Improper Influence
In order to avoid voting proxies in circumstances where Invesco or any of its affiliates have or
may have any conflict of interest, real or perceived, Invesco has contracted with RiskMetrics to
provide proxy analyses, vote recommendations and voting of proxies. Unless noted otherwise by
RiskMetrics, each vote recommendation provided by RiskMetrics to Invesco shall include a
representation from RiskMetrics that RiskMetrics has no conflict of interest with respect to the
vote. In instances where RiskMetrics has recused itself or makes no recommendation on a particular
matter, or if an override submission is requested, the Proxy Committee shall determine how to vote
the proxy and instruct the Proxy Manager accordingly, in which case the conflict of interest
provisions discussed below shall apply.
In effecting the policy of voting proxies in the best economic interests of clients, there may be
occasions where the voting of such proxies may present a real or perceived conflict of interest
between Invesco, as the investment manager, and Invescos clients. For each director, officer and
employee of Invesco (Invesco person), the interests of Invescos clients must come first, ahead
of the interest of Invesco and any Invesco person, including Invescos affiliates. Accordingly, no
Invesco person may put personal benefit, whether tangible or intangible, before the interests of
clients of Invesco or otherwise take advantage of the relationship with Invescos clients.
Personal benefit includes any intended benefit for oneself or any other individual, company,
group or organization of any kind whatsoever, except a benefit for a client of Invesco, as
appropriate. It is imperative that each Invesco person avoid any situation that might compromise,
or call into question, the exercise of fully independent judgment that is in the interests of
Invescos clients.
Occasions may arise where a person or organization involved in the proxy voting process may have a
conflict of interest. A conflict of interest may exist if Invesco has a business relationship with
(or is actively soliciting business from) either the company soliciting the proxy or a third party
that has a material interest in the outcome of a proxy vote or that is actively lobbying for a
particular outcome of a proxy vote. Additional examples of situations where a conflict may exist
include:
|
|
|
Business Relationships where Invesco manages money for a company or an
employee group, manages pension assets or is actively soliciting any such business, or
leases office space from a company;
|
|
|
|
|
Personal Relationships where an Invesco person has a personal
relationship with other proponents of proxy proposals, participants in proxy contests,
corporate directors, or candidates for directorships; and
|
|
|
|
|
Familial Relationships where an Invesco person has a known familial
relationship relating to a company (e.g. a spouse or other relative who serves as a
director of a public company or is employed by the company).
|
In the event that the Proxy Committee determines that Invesco (or an affiliate) has a material
conflict of interest, the Proxy Committee will not take into consideration the relationship giving
rise to the conflict of interest and shall, in its sole discretion, either (a) decide to vote the
proxies pursuant to RiskMetrics general proxy voting guidelines, (b) engage an independent third
party to provide a vote recommendation, or (c) contact Invescos client(s) for direction as to how
to vote the proxies.
In the event an Invesco person has a conflict of interest and has knowledge of such conflict of
interest, it is the responsibility of such Invesco person to disclose the conflict to the Chief
Compliance Officer. When a Proxy Committee meeting is called, the Chief Compliance Officer will
report to the Proxy Committee all real or potential conflicts of interest for the Proxy Committee
to review and determine whether such conflict is material. If the Proxy Committee determines that
such conflict is material and involves a person involved in the proxy voting process, the Proxy
Committee may require such person to recuse himself or herself from participating in the
discussions regarding the proxy vote item and from casting a vote regarding how Invesco should vote
such proxy. An Invesco person will not be considered to have a material conflict of interest if
the Invesco person did not know of the conflict of interest and did not attempt to influence the
outcome of a proxy vote.
In order to ensure compliance with these procedures, the Proxy Manager and each member of the Proxy
Committee shall certify annually as to their compliance with this policy. In addition, any Invesco
person who submits a RiskMetrics override recommendation to the Proxy Committee shall certify as to
their compliance with this policy concurrently with the submission of their override
recommendation. A form of such certification is attached as Appendix A.
In addition, members of the Proxy Committee must notify Invescos Chief Compliance Officer, with
impunity and without fear of retribution or retaliation, of any direct, indirect or perceived
improper influence exerted by any Invesco person or by an affiliated companys representatives with
regard to how Invesco should vote proxies. The Chief Compliance Officer will investigate the
allegations and will report his or her findings to the Invesco Risk Management Committee. In the
event that it is determined that improper influence was exerted, the Risk Management Committee will
determine the appropriate action to take, which actions may include, but are not limited to, (1)
notifying the affiliated companys Chief Executive Officer, its Management Committee or Board of
Directors, (2) taking remedial action, if necessary, to correct the result of any improper
influence where clients have been harmed, or (3) notifying the appropriate regulatory agencies of
the improper influence and cooperating fully with these regulatory agencies as required. In all
cases, the Proxy Committee shall not take into consideration the improper influence in determining
how to vote proxies and will vote proxies solely in the best economic interests of clients.
C. RECORDKEEPING
Records are maintained in accordance with Invescos Recordkeeping Policy.
Proxy Voting Records
The proxy voting statements and records will be maintained by the Proxy Manager on-site (or
accessible via an electronic storage site of RiskMetrics) for the first two (2) years. Copies of
the proxy voting statements and records will be maintained for an additional five (5) years by
Invesco (or will be accessible via an electronic storage site of RiskMetrics). Clients may obtain
information about how Invesco voted proxies on their behalf by contacting their client services
representative. Alternatively, clients may make a written request for proxy voting information to:
Proxy Manager, 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309.

Portfolio Manager Fund Holdings and Information on Other Managed Accounts
Invescos portfolio managers develop investment models which are used in connection with the
management of certain Invesco Funds as well as other mutual funds for which Invesco or an affiliate
acts as sub-adviser, other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered mutual funds, and
other accounts managed for organizations and individuals. The Investments chart reflects the
portfolio managers investments in the Funds that they manage. Accounts are grouped into three
categories: (i) investments made directly in the Fund, (ii) investments made in an Invesco pooled
investment vehicle with the same or similar objectives and strategies as the Fund, and (iii) any
investments made in any Invesco Fund or Invesco pooled investment vehicle. The Assets Managed
chart reflects information regarding accounts other than the Funds for which each portfolio manager
has day-to-day management responsibilities. Accounts are grouped into three categories: (i) other
registered investment companies, (ii) other pooled investment vehicles and (iii) other accounts.
To the extent that any of these accounts pay advisory fees that are based on account performance
(performance-based fees), information on those accounts is specifically broken out. In addition,
any assets denominated in foreign currencies have been converted into U.S. Dollars using the
exchange rates as of the applicable date.

Potential Conflicts of Interest
Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day
management responsibilities with respect to more than one Fund or other account. More
specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple Funds and/or other accounts may be presented
with one or more of the following potential conflicts:
Ø
|
|
The management of multiple Funds and/or other accounts may result
in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the
management of each Fund and/or other account. The Adviser and
each Sub-Adviser seek to manage such competing interests for the
time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio
managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most other
accounts managed by a portfolio manager are managed using the same
investment models that are used in connection with the management
of the Funds.
|
|
Ø
|
|
If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity
which may be suitable for more than one Fund or other account, a
Fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity
due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all
eligible Funds and other accounts. To deal with these situations,
the Adviser, each Sub-Adviser and the Funds have adopted
procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across multiple
accounts.
|
|
Ø
|
|
The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser determine which broker to use to
execute each order for securities transactions for the Funds,
consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the
transaction. However, for certain other accounts (such as mutual
funds for which Invesco or an affiliate acts as sub-adviser, other
pooled investment vehicles that are not registered mutual funds,
and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals), the
Adviser and each Sub-Adviser may be limited by the client with
respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct
trades through a particular broker. In these cases, trades for a
Fund in a particular security may be placed separately from,
rather than aggregated with, such other accounts. Having separate
transactions with respect to a security may temporarily affect the
market price of the security or the execution of the transaction,
or both, to the possible detriment of the Fund or other account(s)
involved.
|
|
Ø
|
|
Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where
the Adviser or Sub-Adviser has an incentive, such as a
performance-based management fee, which relates to the management
of one Fund or account but not all Funds and accounts for which a
portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.
|
The Adviser, each Sub-Adviser, and the Funds have adopted certain compliance procedures which
are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such
procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.
Description of Compensation Structure
For the Adviser and each affiliated Sub-Adviser
The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser seek to maintain a compensation program that is competitively
positioned to attract and retain high-caliber investment professionals. Portfolio managers receive
a base salary, an incentive bonus opportunity and an equity compensation opportunity. Portfolio
manager compensation is reviewed and may be modified each year as appropriate to reflect changes in
the market, as well as to adjust the factors used to determine bonuses to promote competitive Fund
performance. The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser evaluate competitive market compensation by reviewing
compensation survey results conducted by an independent third party of investment industry
compensation. Each portfolio managers compensation consists of the following three elements:
Base Salary.
Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary. In setting the base salary, the
Adviser and each Sub-Advisers intention is to be competitive in light of the particular portfolio
managers experience and responsibilities.
Annual Bonus.
The portfolio managers are eligible, along with other employees of the Adviser
and each Sub-Adviser, to participate in a discretionary year-end bonus pool. The Compensation
Committee of Invesco Ltd. reviews and approves the amount of the bonus pool available for the
Adviser and each of the Sub-Advisers investment centers. The Compensation Committee considers
investment performance and financial results in its review. In addition, while having no direct
impact on individual bonuses, assets under management are considered when determining the starting
bonus funding levels. Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus which is
based on quantitative (i.e. investment performance) and non-quantitative factors (which may
include, but are not limited to, individual performance, risk management and teamwork).
Each portfolio managers compensation is linked to the pre-tax investment performance of the
Funds/accounts managed by the portfolio manager as described in Table 1 below.

Portfolio Managers for Invesco Pacific
Growth Funds compensation is based on the one-, three- and five-year
performance against the appropriate Micropol benchmark.
|
High investment performance (against applicable peer group and/or benchmarks) would deliver
compensation generally associated with top pay in the industry (determined by reference to the
third-party provided compensation survey information) and poor investment performance (versus
applicable peer group) would result in low bonus compared to the applicable peer group or no bonus
at all. These decisions are reviewed and approved collectively by senior leadership which has
responsibility for executing the compensation approach across the organization.
Equity-Based Compensation.
Portfolio managers may be granted an annual deferral award that
allows them to select receipt of shares of certain Invesco Funds with a vesting period as well as
common shares and/or restricted shares of Invesco Ltd. stock from pools determined from time to
time by the Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd.s Board of Directors. Awards of equity-based
compensation typically vest over time, so as to create incentives to retain key talent.
Portfolio managers also participate in benefit plans and programs available generally to all
employees.

As of March 21, 2012, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the
participation of the officers of the Registrant, including the Principal Executive Officer
(PEO) and Principal Financial Officer (PFO), to assess the effectiveness of the
Registrants disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 30a-3(c)
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act), as amended. Based on that evaluation,

the Registrants disclosure controls and procedures were reasonably designed to ensure: (1)
that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant on Form N-CSR is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of
the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (2) that material information relating to the
Registrant is made known to the PEO and PFO as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Registrants internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Act) that occurred during the second fiscal quarter of the
