C000084393 Investment Objective and Strategy

Invesco Small Cap Discovery 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 seek capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of small-capitalization companies, and in other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of small-capitalization companies that the Funds investment adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), believes have above-average potential for capital appreciation. The principal type of equity security in which the Fund invests is common stock. The Fund considers a company to be a small-capitalization company if it has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, no larger than the largest capitalized company included in the Russell 2000 Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month.

As of August 31, 2018, the capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000 Index ranged from $32.8 million to $6.7 billion. The Fund emphasizes a growth style of investing. The companies and industries in which the Fund invests will change over time depending on the assessment of the Adviser of growth opportunities. The Fund does not limit its investments to any single group or type of security. The Fund may invest in companies with new management or management reliant upon one or a few key people, special products and techniques, limited or cyclical operating history, product lines, services, markets or resources, distribution channels, financial resources, or unusual developments, such as acquisitions, mergers, liquidations, bankruptcies or leveraged buyouts. The Fund may also invest in securities involving special circumstances, such as initial public offerings (IPOs).

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers. The Adviser uses a bottom-up disciplined style of investing that emphasizes the analysis of individual stocks rather than economic and market cycles. The Adviser relies on its research capabilities and company/analyst meetings in reviewing companies. The Adviser believes that stock prices are driven by expected earnings growth, the expected long-term sustainability of that growth and the markets valuation of those factors. Therefore, in selecting securities for investment, the Adviser seeks those companies that it believes are currently mispriced based on growth expectations and the sustainability of that growth in the market. The Fund generally seeks companies that appear to be positioned to produce an attractive level of future earnings through the development of new products, services or markets or as a result of changing markets or industry conditions.

The Adviser expects that many of the companies in which the Fund invests may, at the time of investment, be experiencing higher rates of earnings growth than average. The Fund incorporates risk management into portfolio construction and its investment process attempts to maximize the relationship between risk and return. The Fund considers selling a security for any of the following reasons: (1) investment thesis plays out or is no longer valid; (2) fundamentals deteriorate; (3) macroeconomic conditions change; or (4) risk/ reward ratio becomes unfavorable or a higher conviction investment idea arises with a better risk/reward ratio.
