Important information about this fund
The Invesco US Value Equity Funds investment objective is to provide reasonable long
term capital growth, measured in US Dollars. Investments will be sought in equity
securities that the Company believes to be undervalued relative to the stock market in
general at the time of purchase. The Fund will invest primarily in the common or preferred
stocks of companies which are located in the US. A company will be considered located in
the US if (i) it is organised under the laws of the US and has its principal office in the US
or (ii) it derives 50% or more of its revenues from businesses in the US. The Fund may
also invest, on an ancillary basis, in the equity securities of companies traded principally
on US stock exchanges, convertible debt securities, US Government securities (securities
issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the US Government or its agencies
and instrumentalities) and investment grade corporate debt securities. Furthermore, the
Fund may, in accordance with the investment restrictions provided for in Appendix A,
invest on an ancillary basis in money market instruments when, in the opinion of the
Investment Adviser, the projected total return on such securities is equal to or greater
than the expected total return on equity securities or when such holdings might be
expected to reduce the volatility of the portfolio (for the purposes of this provision, the
term "total return" means the difference between the cost of a security and the aggregate
of its market value and income earned).
The Invesco US Value Equity Fund was formerly named Morgan Stanley US Value Equity
Fund, and it became the Invesco US Value Equity Fund on 9 June 2010 as part of
Invesco’s acquisition of Van Kampen Investments/Morgan Stanley Retail Asset
Management Business.
The investment objective is not guaranteed and may be subject to change.
