The fund seeks primarily capital appreciation and secondarily current income by investing in companies across any size outside the United States. The sub-adviser’s investment process starts with a list of companies in the benchmark index and the research team utilizes quantitative techniques and fundamental analysis to identify investment opportunities. Next, the research team invests in the securities of U.S. and non-U.S. infrastructure-related issuers. According to the team, an infrastructure-related issuer has at least 50% of its assets consisting of infrastructure assets or 50% of its gross income or net profits attributable to or derived, directly or indirectly, from the ownership, management, construction, development, operation, utilization or financing of infrastructure assets. Examples of infrastructure assets include transportation assets, utility assets, and social assets. In addition, the fund maintains no less than 40% of its net assets in the securities of issuers located outside of the United States. Also, the fund will allocate its net assets among issuers located in no fewer than three different countries, one of which may be the United States. The fund considers an issuer to be located in a country if the issuer is organized under the laws of the country or maintains its principal place of business in that country, or the issuer's securities are traded principally in the country. Additionally, the fund considers an issuer to be located in a country if during the issuer's most recent fiscal year, such issuer derived at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in the country or has at least 50% of its assets in that country. The research process is driven by fundamental analysis of one stock at a time. In selecting securities for the portfolio, the research team relies on fundamental analysis to evaluate companies on the basis of quality and price. Also, the research team integrates environmental, social and governance factors as part of its process. Then the manager constructs a portfolio of stocks from a list of companies favored by the research team and allocates capital based on its conviction level. The fund concentrates its investments in infrastructure-related issuers. Also, the fund may invest without limitation in the securities of foreign issuers that are publicly traded in the United States or on foreign exchanges, including securities of emerging market issuers, and in depositary receipts. |

Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund | GIZYX | 0% | 8.3% | -0.9% | |
The fund seeks total return by investing in companies across any size outside the United States. The sub-adviser’s investment process starts with a list of companies in the benchmark index and the research team utilizes quantitative techniques and fundamental analysis to identify investment opportunities. Next, the research team invests in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. infrastructure-related companies and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The team considers a company to be an infrastructure-related company if it derives at least 50% of its revenue or profits from the ownership or operation of infrastructure assets, which include the physical structures, networks and systems of transportation, energy, water and sewage, and communication. Examples of infrastructure assets include transportation assets, utility assets and social assets. The research process is driven by fundamental analysis of one stock at a time. In selecting securities for the portfolio, the research team evaluates and ranks potential investments. The team favors companies demonstrating consistent cash flow growth, positive earnings revisions, relatively attractive multiples to cash flow and assets to price, durable dividends, and favorable investor reception relative to peers. Then the manager constructs a portfolio of stocks from a list of companies favored by the research team and allocates capital based on its conviction level. The fund will invest in companies economically tied to at least three different countries, including the U.S. Also, the fund may invest at least 40%, unless market conditions are not deemed favorable, in which case at least 30%, of the fund’s net assets in companies that are economically tied to countries other than the U.S. The fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of issuers located in emerging markets countries, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles. The fund may also invest in infrastructure-related companies organized as master limited partnerships. In addition, the fund may invest in derivative instruments, including forward foreign currency contracts and futures contracts. The fund is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in a small group of issuers or in any one issuer than a diversified fund can. |
