C000084389 Investment Objective and Strategy

Invesco Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Aim Counselor Series Trust (invesco Counselor Series Trust).

Investment objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide only Pennsylvania investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania state income taxes and, where possible under local law, local income and personal property taxes, through investment in a varied portfolio of medium- and lower-grade municipal securities.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in Pennsylvania municipal securities at the time of investment. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority of the Funds outstanding voting securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Funds direct investments that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement. Municipal securities include debt obligations of states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax, at the time of issuance, in the opinion of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities.

Pennsylvania municipal securities are municipal obligations the interest on which is exempt from federal and Pennsylvania state income taxes, at the time of issuance, in the opinion of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities. The principal types of municipal debt securities purchased by the Fund are revenue obligation and general obligation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in municipal securities classified as revenue bonds. To meet its investment objective, the Fund invests in different types of general obligation and revenue obligation securities, including fixed and variable rate securities, municipal notes, variable rate demand notes and municipal leases. The Fund may also invest in other types of municipal securities, such as pre-refunded bonds.

The Fund seeks to invest in medium- and lower-grade securities. Medium- and lower-grade securities are securities rated by Standard & Poors Ratings Services (S&P) as BBB- through CC (inclusive) for bonds or SP-2 or lower for notes; by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys) as Baa through Ca (inclusive) for bonds or MIG3 or VMIG3 or lower for notes; or unrated securities determined by the Funds investment adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. Medium- and lower-grade securities are, therefore, inclusive of some securities rated below investment grade. Securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as junk bonds. The Fund does not purchase securities that are in default or rated in categories lower than B- by S&P or B3 by Moodys or unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

At times, the market conditions in the Pennsylvania municipal markets may be such that the Fund may invest in higher-grade securities. Investment grade securities are those rated above medium- and lower-grade securities. The Fund may invest more than 25% of its net assets in a segment of the municipal securities market with similar characteristics if the Adviser determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular segment justify the additional risks of a larger investment in such segment. The Fund may not, however, invest more than 25% of its net assets in industrial development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

From time to time, the Fund temporarily may invest up to 10% of its net assets in tax exempt money market funds and such instruments will be treated as investments in municipal securities. The Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded investments. The Fund may also invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Funds investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities and payment-in-kind securities. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that the Fund may buy or sell a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The Fund can invest in inverse floating rate municipal obligations issued in connection with tender option bond programs to generate leverage.

The Fund can invest in derivative instruments including futures contracts and swap contracts. The Fund can use futures contracts, including Treasury futures, to gain or reduce exposure to certain asset classes. The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge its exposure to interest rates. The Adviser actively manages the Funds portfolio and adjusts the average maturity of portfolio investments based upon its expectations regarding the direction of interest rates and other economic factors. The Adviser seeks to identify those securities that it believes offer higher yields with reasonable credit risk considered in relation to the Funds investment policies. In selecting securities for investment, the Adviser uses its extensive research capabilities to assess potential investments and considers a number of factors, including general market and economic conditions and interest rate, credit and prepayment risks.

Each security considered for investment is subjected to an in-depth credit analysis to evaluate the level of risk it presents. Decisions to purchase or sell securities are determined by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities may be related to a decision to alter the Funds macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning, and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Funds exposure to a particular security or issuer, degradation of an issuers credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The potential for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and frequency of portfolio turnover generally will not be a limiting factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or sell securities.
