Investment objective & strategy
As of April 29, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The Fund seeks, over a specified annual outcome period, to provide investors with returns that match those of the S&P 500 Index (the Underlying Index) up to an upside cap, while providing a buffer against the first 10% (prior to taking into account any fees and expenses of the Fund) of Underlying Index losses.
Strategy. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in options that reference the Underlying Index or options that reference the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, which is an exchange-traded unit investment trust that seeks to track the S&P 500 Index (the Underlying Fund). References throughout this Prospectus to options that reference the Underlying Index mean either the Underlying Index or the Underlying Fund unless otherwise indicated. The Underlying Index is comprised of common stocks of approximately 500 large-capitalization companies that generally represent the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity market. The options used by the Fund will include conventional, exchange-traded (listed) put and call options on the Underlying Index … The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in options that reference the Underlying Index or options that reference the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, which is an exchange-traded unit investment trust that seeks to track the S&P 500 Index (the Underlying Fund). References throughout this Prospectus to options that reference the Underlying Index mean either the Underlying Index or the Underlying Fund unless otherwise indicated. The Underlying Index is comprised of common stocks of approximately 500 large-capitalization companies that generally represent the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity market. The options used by the Fund will include conventional, exchange-traded (listed) put and call options on the Underlying Index and Flexible Exchange Options (Flex Options), which are customizable options contracts. An option is a contract that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for the premium paid, the right, but not the obligation, to buy from (in the case of a call option) or sell to (in the case of a put option) the writer of the option at the exercise price during the term of the option (for American style options) or on a specified date (for European style options), the security, currency or other instrument underlying the option (or to receive payment of a cash settlement amount, in the case of cash-settled options, such as index options). Both the conventional, listed put and call options and the Flex Options on the Underlying Index purchased and sold by the Fund are cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), a market clearinghouse, through a clearing member selected by the Fund. Flex Options allow the Fund to specify key contract terms, including exercise prices and expiration dates, that are not available for contracts traded in the conventional, listed options market. Flex Options purchased and sold by the Fund are set to expire on the last day of the Outcome Period, at which time the Fund will invest in a new set of Flex Options for the next Outcome Period. The Underlying Index is a price return index, which captures only the capital appreciation or depreciation component of the issuers included in the Underlying Index and not any associated dividend payments paid by those issuers. The Fund, and therefore investors in the Fund, will not receive the benefit of such dividends. The Fund employs a Defined Outcome strategy, which seeks to replicate the performance of the Underlying Index over a designated period of one year (the Outcome Period) up to a predetermined cap (the Cap), while providing a buffer against the first 10% of Underlying Index losses over the Outcome Period (the Buffer). Following the conclusion of the Outcome Period, each subsequent Outcome Period will be a one-year period that begins on the trading day that immediately follows the day that the preceding Outcome Period concluded. A new Cap level will be determined at the end of the trading day immediately preceding the first day of each new Outcome Period and will change depending on market conditions. The Buffer for each Outcome Period will be 10%. The Funds Cap represents the maximum percentage return, expressed as a percentage of the value of the Underlying Index determined at the start of the relevant Outcome Period (the Underlying Index Start Value), that can be achieved from an investment in the Fund over an Outcome Period, prior to taking into account any fees and expenses of the Fund. The Funds Buffer represents the amount of losses, expressed as a percentage of the Underlying Index Start Value, that the Fund will buffer against if the Underlying Index experiences losses over an Outcome Period, prior to taking into account any fees and expenses of the Fund. Underlying Index losses over an Outcome Period that exceed the Buffer will be borne by shareholders. As a result, you should expect that, if the S&P 500 Index experiences losses of more than 10% over the relevant Outcome Period, you will bear all such losses on a one-to-one basis. The Fund has characteristics unlike many other traditional investment products and is not appropriate for all investors. In particular, investment in the Fund may not be appropriate for investors who do not intend to maintain their investment through the entire Outcome Period. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to achieve the stated Defined Outcomes. As of the date of this prospectus, the Defined Outcomes sought by the Fund to reduce Fund losses by the amount of the Buffer and to provide returns up to the Cap, as described in its investment objective, are based upon the performance of the Underlying Index over the Outcome Period of October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. The Funds current Cap is set at 12.70%. Following this Outcome Period, each subsequent Outcome Period will be a twelve-month period from October 1 to September 30. The Fund is not intended to terminate after the end of any Outcome Period. After the end of each Outcome Period, another will begin. A new Cap level for each successive Outcome Period will be determined at the end of the trading day immediately preceding the first day of each new Outcome Period. Although the Buffer for each Outcome Period will be 10% (prior to taking into account any Fund fees and expenses), the Cap level may rise or fall from one Outcome Period to the next. The Buffer is expected to start every Outcome Period at 10%. The Outcome Period start date and end date, the Underlying Index Start Value and the Cap for subsequent Outcome Periods will be disclosed in a supplement to the Funds summary prospectus and prospectus on the Funds website. ? Buffer : For each Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide a buffer against the first 10% of Underlying Index losses over that Outcome Period (expressed as a percentage of the relevant Underlying Index Start Value), prior to taking into account any fees and expenses of the Fund, which after Fund fees and expenses is 9.3% for Series I shares and 9.05% for Series II shares. The Fund, and therefore investors, will bear all Underlying Index losses over an Outcome Period exceeding 10%. There is no guarantee the Fund will successfully buffer against Underlying Index losses. The Buffer is designed to have its full effect only for investors who hold Fund shares for an entire Outcome Period. ? Cap : For each Outcome Period, Fund performance is subject to an upside return cap that represents the maximum percentage return (expressed as a percentage of the relevant Underlying Index Start Value), prior to taking into account any fees and expenses of the Fund. The Fund's current Cap is set at 12.70%, which after Fund expenses is 11.91% for Series I shares and 11.63% for Series II shares. A new Cap level for each successive Outcome Period will be determined at the end of the trading day immediately preceding the first day of each new Outcome Period, based on market conditions and other factors. The market conditions and other factors that influence the Cap can include market volatility, risk free rates, and time to expiration. If the Underlying Index experiences returns over an Outcome Period in excess of the Cap, the Fund, and therefore investors, will not experience those excess gains. The Funds Defined Outcomes may only be realized by holding shares on the first day of the Outcome Period and continuing to hold shares through the last day of the Outcome Period. The Funds Defined Outcomes in respect of each Outcome Period are measured from the Funds net asset value calculated at the end of the trading day immediately preceding the first day of that Outcome Period. Investors who purchase shares after the Outcome Period has begun or sell shares prior to the Outcome Periods conclusion may experience investment returns very different from those that the Fund seeks to provide. Investment returns may vary (in some cases substantially) from the returns sought by the Funds Defined Outcome strategy if shares are purchased after the beginning of the Outcome Period or redeemed before the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Purchasing shares after the beginning of the Outcome Period may provide little or no ability to realize investment returns if the Funds net asset value has increased in value to a level near or above the Cap. In this circumstance, a purchaser of shares of the Fund at that price would still be vulnerable to risk of loss but will have little or no opportunity for gain. Purchasing shares after the beginning of the Outcome Period may also provide no benefit from the Buffer. Even if shares are held for the entire Outcome Period, the Fund may not successfully achieve the Defined Outcomes, and there is no guarantee that the Buffer will limit Fund losses as intended or that participation up to the Cap will be achieved. The Buffer is not guaranteed and may not be achieved. You therefore should not purchase shares after the first day of the Outcome Period, or redeem shares prior to the last day of the Outcome Period, without understanding fully the consequences of doing so. Please consult with your financial advisor. The Fund's website, invesco.com/00901C871, provides important Fund information on a daily basis, including information about the Cap and Buffer, current Outcome Period start and end dates, and information relating to the remaining potential outcomes of an investment in the Fund. Investors considering purchasing shares should visit the website for the latest information. The Fund may be non-diversified, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund can invest such that a greater percentage of its assets are tied to a small group of issuers or any one issuer than a diversified fund can. Shareholder approval will not be sought when the Fund crosses from diversified to non-diversified status due solely to a change in the relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index. As of April 1, 2025, the Underlying Index is diversified, and therefore as of that same date, the Fund is managed as diversified in accordance with the Underlying Index.
