When evaluating whether a fund is appropriate for your investment goals, fund performance, fees and expenses are only a few of the criteria you should consider. You may also consider the investment objective and strategy to determine if the fund's objectives match your own, review the fund's portfolio composition / characteristics to determine how well the fund consistently meets its objective and review the fund's risk exposure to ensure you are comfortable with the types of risk to which the fund is subject.

Word about Risk
Some of the principal risks associated with investing in this Fund include:
General Investment Risk - While the portfolio management team seeks to mitigate investment risks, there can be no assurance that Investors will not lose all or a portion of their investment in the Fund. Investors should not subscribe to or invest in the Fund unless they can readily bear the consequences of such loss.
Market Risk - The prices of securities held by the Fund may fluctuate to the detriment of the Fund.
Equity Securities Risk - Prices of equity securities change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.
Derivatives Risk - The Fund may use enhanced investment techniques such as derivatives. The principal risk of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the values of their underlying assets. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk—the risk that the other party will not perform its obligations under the transaction. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative.
Leverage Risk - Leveraging entails risks such as magnifying changes in the value of the portfolio’s securities.
Investment Vehicle Risk - The Fund will invest a substantial portion of its assets in other affiliated and unaffiliated investment vehicles and will be is subject to the underlying risk of those investment vehicles’ portfolio securities.
Management Risk - There is no guarantee that the investment techniques and risk analyses used by the Fund’s portfolio managers will produce the desired results.
Securities Lending Risk - The Fund or the vehicles in which it invests may participate in securities lending programs. The lending fund bears the risk of investment loss associated with any reinvestment of securities lending collateral held by the lending fund.
No Registration Under the Investment Company Act, the Securities Act or State Securities Laws - The Fund will not be registered with the SEC as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in reliance upon an exemption from the Investment Company Act. Units of the Fund will not be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in reliance on the exemptive provisions of Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, nor will it be registered with any state securities regulator.
No Registration with the CFTC - Since the Fund may purchase, sell or trade exchange-traded futures contracts, options thereon, and other Commodity Interests, the Fund may be viewed as subject to regulation as a commodity pool under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act and the rules of the CFTC. However, pursuant to CFTC Rule 4.5, the Trustee is exempt from having to register as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Fund.

5 Year Risk Regression
Standard Deviation (%) Standard Deviation - Standard Deviation measures a fund's range of total returns and identifies the spread of a fund's short-term fluctuations. It is useful when comparing the volatility of funds with different objectives.16.81
Beta Beta - Beta is a coefficient is a measure of a security's volatility relative to the market. An index relevant to the security's stated investment category is used as the proxy for the market, and is considered to have a 1.00 Beta. Therefore, if a security has a Beta of 1.50, it has been historically 50% more volatile than the market for the period shown.1.00
Alpha (%) Alpha - Alpha is a coefficient measuring the risk-adjusted performance, considering the risk due to the specific security, rather than the overall market. A positive alpha indicates that the manager has been successful at security selection and has produced a rate of return which is more than commensurate with the security's risk posture.0.11
R Squared (%) R-Squared - R-squared is the percentage of a fund's movements explained by movement in its benchmark index. Values of r-squared range from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates no correlation and 1 indicates perfect correlation.99.99
Sharpe Ratio  Sharpe Ratio - Sharpe ratio is a risk-adjusted measure calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the fund's historical risk-adjusted performance.-0.20
Information Ratio Tilts or bets away from the benchmark lead to tracking error in the portfolio. The information ratio measures the success of these _tilts_ away from the index. It takes into account of the additional risk inherent in the _tilts_ to the extent that they cause the portfolio return to deviate from the index return. The information ratio measures the amount of _information_ that the manager can extract from the market. Expressed in another this is the amount of excess return generated per unit of risk or tracking error added. Therefore, Information ratio = Annualized excess return (%pa) divided by the annualized tracking error.0.84
Tracking Error (%) Tracking Error is the Standard deviation of excess returns which measures the deviations of an excess returns from the mean. Tracking errors basically tells you the difference between the return you received and that of the benchmark you were trying to copy.0.13
Risk regression is gross of fees.
Important Information
This product is a bank collective trust fund for which Invesco National Trust Company serves as trustee and investment manager. The fund is not FDIC-insured or registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Please see the fund's Declaration of Trust and recent financial statements (available upon request from your retirement plan sponsor) for important information before investing.

Material presented is compiled from sources believed to be reliable and current, but accuracy cannot be guaranteed. This does not constitute an offer or solicitation of any security or product, nor constitute a recommendation of the suitability of any investment strategy for a particular investor.

Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains for the periods indicated. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Net performance has been calculated after the deduction of operating expenses applicable to the fund and after the deduction of the standard investment management fee applicable to the fund. However, since individual plan investment management fee schedules vary, an individual plan's net performance may be higher or lower than the standard net performance shown here. Net of fee performance does not include any client service or administrative fees payable to third parties at the discretion of the plan sponsor.
Gross performance has been calculated before the deduction of investment management fees, but after the deduction of operating expenses applicable to the fund.
The monthly adjusted returns are compounded and then annualized to compute the long-term results. Individual Plan performance may vary depending upon the timing of contributions and withdrawals. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that, when redeemed, an investor's shares may be worth more or less than when originally purchased.

1 The Standard Management Fee listed is the standard fee used to calculate net performance. The actual investment management fee varies for each Plan based on the fee negotiated with the Plan. This negotiated fee can fluctuate daily based on the various asset level breakpoints reached at the time the daily fee accrual is calculated for each Plan.
2 The expense ratio is year to date, annualized and unaudited. For an audited annual expense ratio please refer to the fund's annual report for the prior year (available upon request from your retirement plan sponsor). Fund expenses may include: portfolio valuation and accounting, transfer agency, custody, annual report and audit fees.
3 The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the U.S. stock market. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.
4 Portfolio composition statistics are subject to change and current holdings may differ. It should not be assumed that any of the holdings discussed were or will prove to be profitable, or that the investment recommendations or decisions we make in the future will be profitable or will equal the investment performance of the holdings.
