Item 4 Advisory Business
Firm Overview
Invesco Managed Accounts, LLC (‘‘IMA’’ or the ‘‘Adviser’’) is a Washington limited liability
company that is an investment adviser registered with the SEC and has been in business since
2003. IMA is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., a publicly traded leading
independent global investment management firm dedicated to helping investors worldwide achieve
their financial objectives. Shares of Invesco Ltd. are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under
the symbol “IVZ”, and Invesco Ltd. is a constituent of the S&P 500. Invesco Advisers, Inc.
(“Invesco Advisers”), a subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., is an indirect owner of IMA. Invesco Ltd. and
its wholly-owned investment adviser subsidiaries including IMA and its affiliates are referred to
through this document collectively as “Invesco”.
Investment Advisory Services
IMA provides investment management services by building customized portfolios on a
discretionary basis. Through IMA’s Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs), Clients can access a
variety of investment strategies including tax efficient equity and fixed income. The strategies
offered allocate assets among municipal securities, corporate debt securities, U.S. government
securities, agency securities, mortgage pass-through securities, mutuals funds, ETFs, long and short
exposure to common stocks, ADRs, GDRs, and foreign stocks while offering clients the chance to
add further customizations. IMA’s services for discretionary clients include: (i) the development of
investment strategies, (ii) evaluation and appraisal of securities considered for purchase or sale, (iii)
access within an SMA to investment strategies advised by its adviser affiliates, (iv) construction
and transition of investment portfolios, (v) execution of securities transactions, and (vi) portfolio
administration, including the tracking of and reporting on portfolio performance and investment
results.
IMA tailors its advisory services to meet the needs and objectives of its individual clients and
continuously seeks to ensure that client portfolios are managed in a manner consistent with their
specific investment profiles. IMA consults with clients on an initial and ongoing basis to determine
various factors relevant to the management of their portfolios. Clients are advised to promptly
notify IMA if there are changes in their financial situation or if they wish to place any limitation on
the management of their portfolios. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions or mandates on the
management of their account if IMA, in its sole discretion, approves the conditions and determines
such restrictions would not be overly burdensome to IMA’s management of the account. Such
restrictions may alter other characteristics and the risk profile of the account being built such that it
no longer performs in line with other accounts within the same broader strategy.
Wrap Programs
IMA provides discretionary and nondiscretionary investment advisory services directly and
indirectly to individuals, and to entities participating in separately managed account programs that
we do not sponsor, also referred to as Wrap Programs (“Wrap Programs”). In a Wrap Program,
IMA will provide certain investment management services, and the financial intermediary
sponsoring the Wrap Program (“Program Sponsor”) will provide the client with other services such
as determining the appropriate investment strategy for its client. The client’s Wrap Program
4
SMAADV2-FRM-1
agreement with its Program Sponsor generally sets forth the services to be provided to the client by
or on behalf of the Program Sponsor, which can include, among other things: (i) manager selection;
(ii) trade execution, often without a transaction-specific commission or charge; (iii) custodial
services; (iv) periodic monitoring of investment managers; and (v) performance reporting. Wrap
Programs for which IMA provides certain advisory services include the following types:
• Traditional wrap (“Traditional Wrap”): IMA enters into a contract with the Program
Sponsor but does not have a contract with the client. IMA makes investment decisions and
places trades for client accounts. With respect to client accounts subject to the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), IMA is an ERISA
fiduciary service provider to the Traditional Wrap account.
• Dual contract (“Dual Contract”): IMA enters into a contract with the client and the client
has a separate contract with the Program Sponsor. In some cases, IMA enters into a contract
with an investment manager to act as a sub-adviser to its client accounts; the client has a
separate contract with the investment manager, and the investment manager has an
agreement with the Program Sponsor. In Dual Contract programs, IMA provides investment
advisory services to the client and places trades for client accounts. With respect to client
accounts subject to ERISA, IMA is an ERISA fiduciary service provider directly to the
account (in accordance with the terms of IMA’s contract with the client (where applicable),
as well as a registered investment adviser directly to the account.
• Model Delivery (“Model Delivery”): IMA enters into a contract with the Program Sponsor
but does not have a contract with the client. IMA provides investment models to the
Program Sponsor, and the Program Sponsor places trades for the client account based on
some or all of the model recommendations. IMA does not have discretion to trade client
accounts in Model Delivery arrangements.
Where IMA manages a portion of a client’s Wrap Program account, IMA is responsible only for
the assets over which it has discretion. IMA is not responsible for other assets held in the Wrap
Program account nor the determination of what percentage of the total assets is allocated to IMA.
IMA does not manage Wrap Program accounts differently from other client accounts except to the
extent that a specific Wrap Program or account has restrictions that would prevent it from
participating in trades executed for other accounts managed by IMA. IMA is not responsible for,
and does not attempt to determine, whether a Wrap Program or a particular strategy or investment
manager is suitable or advisable for the Wrap Program participant; this decision is made by the
Program Sponsor and the underlying client.
In most Wrap Programs, the Program Sponsor charges the client a comprehensive fee (the "wrap
fee”), inclusive of the advisory fee charged by IMA for investment advisory services and fees for
other services being provided by the Program Sponsor. Therefore, IMA receives a portion of the
wrap fee in most Wrap Programs.
A client in a Wrap Program may if offered through the program restrict the purchase of certain
securities, sectors, or categories of securities for its account. Such restrictions may adversely
affect the account's performance and the account may not have the same performance as other
accounts managed without similar restrictions in the same investment strategy. For example, in
response to such restrictions, a change in the classification of a company, the grouping of an
5
SMAADV2-FRM-1
industry or the credit rating of a security may force IMA to sell securities in a client's account at an
inopportune time in order to accommodate such restrictions and possibly cause a taxable event to
the client. Adding a new restriction to an account that already holds securities may have similar
effects of forcing IMA to place trades it otherwise would not have in order to accommodate the
restrictions.
Wrap Programs often have restrictions preventing IMA from transacting in or holding certain
securities, trading with certain brokers, or participating in in offerings of certain new issue
securities for accounts participating in the program. Such restrictions may adversely affect the
account's performance and the account may not have the same performance as other accounts
managed without similar restrictions in the same investment strategy.
Wrap Program clients are urged to refer to the appropriate disclosure document and client
agreement for more information about the Wrap Program, investment advisory services, fees
(including fees that are not covered by the wrap fee), and contract termination provisions.
As of December 31, 2024, IMA managed approximately $24,606,305,138 in assets on a
discretionary basis.
Item 5 Fees and Compensation
IMA offers its investment management services for an annual fee rate based upon a percentage of
assets under management.
Information specific to IMA’s Investment Advisory Services
Generally, for direct investment management services offered outside a wrap program, the fee is
charged either monthly or quarterly, in advance or arrears. Depending on the engagement, the fee
may be calculated using either the average daily balance of the assets during the quarter or the
market value of the assets on the last day of the quarter or if being billed in advance the last day of
the preceding quarter. Assets are reconciled to client custodians and priced according to
information received from a third-party vendor. The specific fee schedule ranges up to 75 basis
points (0.75%) and is determined by the type of client and the strategy used to manage the
portfolio, subject to Invesco’s discretion to negotiate (discussed below).
For clients billed by IMA, for the initial term of an engagement, the fee is calculated on a pro rata
basis. In the event the client engagement is terminated prior to the end of month or quarter, as
applicable, the base fee for the final billing period is prorated through the effective date of the
termination and the outstanding balance is refunded or charged to the client, as appropriate.
Information specific to Wrap Programs
The fees received by IMA for investment advice to Wrap Programs vary depending on the
investment strategy selected and other factors, but generally fall within a range of 0.10% to 0.60%
per annum of assets under management.
6
SMAADV2-FRM-1
Where investment advisory services provided by IMA are included in the wrap fee (generally
Traditional Wrap Programs Programs), the Program Sponsor normally pays IMA on a monthly or
quarterly basis, either in arrears or in advance, as provided in the contract between IMA and the
Program Sponsor. The wrap fee received by IMA may only be negotiated between IMA and the
Program Sponsor. In Dual Contract Wrap Programs, our fees are typically paid for directly by the
client. Additional fees may be incurred by Wrap Program clients for strategies where IMA utilizes
brokers not affiliated with the wrap program to place trades on behalf of such clients. Wrap
Program clients should consider that, depending upon the wrap fee charged, the amount of trading
activity, the value of custodial and other services provided and other factors, the wrap fee could
exceed the aggregate costs of the services provided if they were to be obtained separately
(although, in some cases, it is possible to obtain such services only through the program) and, with
respect to brokerage, any transaction-based commissions paid by the account.
With respect to client accounts subject to ERISA in a Traditional Wrap Program account, the client
should consult its separate contract with the Program Sponsor for additional information regarding
the amount of compensation the Program Sponsor pays to IMA for IMA’s services. In addition,
while IMA does not charge a “termination fee” in connection with its services under any Wrap
Programs, the client should consult its separate contract with the Program Sponsor to determine
whether the Program Sponsor charges its own termination fee.
Fee Discretion
IMA, in its sole discretion, may negotiate to charge different management fees based upon certain
criteria, such as anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar
amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, account complexity, pre-
existing client relationship, account retention, employee status, and pro bono activities. IMA
reserves the right to negotiate or waive its investment advisory fee.
Additional Fees and Expenses
In addition to the advisory fees paid to IMA, clients may also incur certain charges imposed by
other third parties, such as broker-dealers, custodians, prime brokers, trust companies, banks and
other financial institutions (collectively ‘‘Financial Institutions’’). These additional charges may
include securities brokerage commissions, transaction fees or “trade-away” fees related to IMA
utilizing brokers not affiliated with the client custodial account, custodial fees, margin fees, charges
imposed by a mutual fund or ETF in a client’s account, as disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g.,
fund management fees and other fund expenses), deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials,
transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts
and securities transactions. IMA may agree to waive its advisory fees proportionate to amounts
invested by a client in an underlying mutual fund or ETF. For additional information regarding
brokerage commissions and fees, please see the Brokerage Practices section below.
Fee Debit
Certain Clients may provide IMA with the authority to directly debit their accounts for payment of
IMA’s investment advisory fees. The Financial Institutions that act as qualified custodian for client
accounts have agreed to send statements to clients not less than quarterly detailing all account
7
SMAADV2-FRM-1
transactions, including any amounts paid to IMA. Alternatively, clients may elect to have IMA
send them an invoice for direct payment.
Account Additions and Withdrawals
Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account at any time, subject to IMA’s
right to terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that IMA reserves
the right to liquidate any transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a
client’s account. Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to IMA, subject to the usual and
customary securities settlement procedures. However, IMA designs its portfolios as long-term
investments, and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a client’s investment
objectives. IMA may consult with its clients about the options and implications of transferring
securities. Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they may be subject to
transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e., contingent deferred sales charge)
and/or tax ramifications.
Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
IMA does not provide any services for a performance-based fee (i.e., a fee based on a share of
capital gains or capital appreciation of a client’s assets).
Item 7 Types of Clients
IMA provides its services to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, foundations, wrap programs, state and municipal government entities, other
investment advisers, credit unions, corporations, and other business entities.
Minimum Account Requirements
Generally, IMA’s minimum portfolio value for starting and maintaining a discretionary investment
management relationship ranges from $100,000 to $2,000,000 depending on a client’s chosen
strategy and whether they are a direct client or invest through an intermediary, however, IMA may,
in its discretion, establish higher or lower minimum account requirements. IMA does not impose a
stated minimum fee value for starting and maintaining an investment management relationship;
however, IMA may, in its discretion, negotiate a minimum quarterly or annual fee for smaller
accounts. Accounts on Model-Only wrap platforms may have lower account minimums.

Risks Associated with Core Fixed
Income Strategies:
Strategy Type: IMA Core Fixed Income Strategies
Summary
IMA’s Core Fixed Income strategies seek to outperform relative
to stated benchmarks, net of fees, while exhibiting similar levels
of volatility.
IMA believes such outperformance can be achieved via active
sector allocation and security selection while adhering to tight
duration bands; combining fundamental and quantitative
methods to identify high quality securities that maximize
income potential; and employing a comprehensive risk
framework to accurately manage portfolio risks and mitigate
downside volatility.

Risk
Portfolio Risk and Sector Allocation Determination: The IMA
Investment Team forms an investment outlook based on a 12-
month investment horizon, informed by conclusions drawn from
regular macro, municipal team and taxable team meetings. Their
outlook is used to establish portfolio risk and sector allocation
targets relative to the benchmark; duration is typically
neutralized to the benchmark. These targets are formally
reviewed monthly but can be changed intra-month.

Security Analysis, Assignment and Selection: The sector-
dedicated credit analysts conduct fundamental analysis, focusing
on issuers with stable/improving credit profiles. An internal
rating is assigned for each covered credit. Credits are entered
into the credit database for ongoing monitoring. Best relative
value opportunities are identified by comparing spreads of
internally rated bonds to those of similar NRSRO- rated bonds,
and approved credits are placed on the Buy List for purchase.

Portfolio Construction: The traders use the approved names from
the Buy List to buy and sell bonds and construct portfolios that
are in-line with strategy risk and sector allocation targets. Tax-
efficiency is at the heart of IMA’s investing process and for
certain tax-efficient strategies the team may place trades that
deliberately generate tax losses.

Any of these overlays may adversely impact performance as
compared to the same strategy managed without the imposition
of such overlay.
• Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG)
Considerations Risk
ESG Overlay
The ESG Overlay (formerly referred to as Impact Overlay) is a
broad-spectrum approach to ESG investing, where assets are
allocated to available investment opportunities based upon how
they score within IMA’s internal ESG rating system. This
includes ESG opportunities related to the environment,
education, housing, health care, social improvement, energy
efficiency, and infrastructure improvements, among other
options.
Environmental Leadership Overlay
The Environmental Leadership Overlay identifies investment
opportunities with high potential to be environmentally
beneficial in areas such as land, water, and energy conservation,
while also seeking investment opportunities with better climate
change profiles and lower negative environmental impact. This
approach emphasizes low carbon investment opportunities and
is, by design, free of significant fossil fuel reserve owners.
Gender Equity Overlay
The Gender Equity Overlay identifies investment opportunities
using governance criteria such as female representation in
leadership and senior management roles, including an
evaluation of the number of board seats held by women and
whether the board chair is female. Additionally, investment
opportunities providing dedicated capital access programs,
healthcare services, affordable housing, and educational
opportunities for women are preferred. The Gender Equity
Overlay may periodically emphasize particular industries,
sectors, or regions as a way to leverage assets for increased ESG
potential.
Faith Driven Overlay
Available in certain strategies, this overlay, distinct from our
ESG overlays, is intended to provide values alignment for
participating clients through a mix of exclusionary screens and
positive evaluations.

Summary
The Corporate Bond strategies employ a four-dimensional

Experienced multi-asset managers construct portfolios using a
risk-aware process that incorporates views from across the
global fixed income platform. Portfolio managers source views
from across the fixed income platform and implement a
thematic-based construction approach seeking identifiable
investable themes. Portfolio managers utilize fundamental
research from subject matter experts to assess “best idea”
security recommendations and construct portfolios that balance
each client’s investment objectives and unique constraints.
A fully integrated risk management framework continuously
informs decision making and is combined with independent
oversight to ensure portfolio risk and performance goals are being
met.

Strategy Type: Invesco Tax Optimized Equity and Branded Equity
Summary
IMA’s Tax Optimized Equity Offerings utilize quantitative
investment techniques and technology to manage client
accounts. Investment strategies are typically customized to
client specifications and have a defined benchmark and a set of
client restrictions, risk parameters and targets. Invesco’s
methodologies consider portfolio risk, transactions costs, and
taxes when making investment decisions for each client
portfolio. Invesco utilizes a fully systematic and research-
driven investment process that efficiently incorporates client
specific customizations and preferences in a cost-efficient
manner. Portfolios are constructed using optimization
techniques and generally hold fewer securities than the
benchmark. The actual amount will depend upon the
benchmark, strategy, and client requirements.

measure of the value added through active tax management)

investment process via a state-of-the-art portfolio management
platform. To accomplish this, Invesco constructs a portfolio

Risk of Loss
The profitability of IMA’s account management depends to a great extent upon correctly
assessing the future course of price movements of certain asset classes. There can be no
assurance that IMA will be able to predict those price movements accurately. Investing in
securities involves the risk of loss and clients should be prepared to bear potential losses. For
example, an account may lose all or a substantial portion of its investments and investors must
be prepared to bear the risk of a complete loss of their investments. Other material risks relating
to the investment strategies and methods of analysis described above include the risks set forth
below. This section does not identify every possible risk associated with investing.
Risk Descriptions
ADR Risk - American Depository Receipts (ADRs) are issued to facilitate investment in non-US
companies by U.S. investors. Investors may not have access to the amount of information
available on domestic companies and because these are investments in foreign companies they
are subject to exchange rate, political, and inflation risks. Most ADRs are subject to periodic
service fees and custodian may charge additional fees for foreign tax reclamation.
Asia Pacific Region Risk (ex-Japan) - The level of development of the economies of countries
in the Asia Pacific region varies greatly. Furthermore, since the economies of countries in the
region are largely intertwined, if an economic recession is experienced by any of these
countries it will likely adversely impact the economic performance of other countries in the
region. Certain economies in the region may also be adversely affected by increased
SMAADV2-FRM-1
18
competition, high inflation rates, undeveloped financial services sectors, currency fluctuations
or restrictions, political and social instability and increased economic volatility.
Investments in companies located or operating in Greater China (normally considered to be the
geographical area that includes mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) involve risks
and considerations not typically associated with investments in the U.S. and other Western
nations, such as greater government control over the economy; political, legal and regulatory
uncertainty; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscation of property; lack of willingness or
ability of the Chinese government to support the economies and markets of the Greater China
region; lack of publicly available information and difficulty in obtaining information necessary
for investigations into and/or litigation against Chinese companies, as well as in obtaining
and/or enforcing judgments; limited legal remedies for shareholders; alteration or
discontinuation of economic reforms; military conflicts and the risk of war, either internal or
with other countries; public health emergencies resulting in market closures, travel restrictions,
quarantines or other interventions; inflation, currency fluctuations and fluctuations in inflation
and interest rates that may have negative effects on the economy and securities markets of
Greater China; and Greater China’s dependency on the economies of other Asian countries,
many of which are developing countries. Events in any one country within Greater China may
impact the other countries in the region or Greater China as a whole. Export growth continues
to be a major driver of China’s rapid economic growth. As a result, a reduction in spending on
Chinese products and services, the institution of additional tariffs, sanctions, capital controls,
embargoes, trade wars, or other trade barriers (or the threat thereof), including as a result of
trade tensions between China and the United States, or a downturn in any of the economies of
China’s key trading partners may have an adverse impact on the Chinese economy. In addition,
actions by the U.S. government, such as delisting of certain Chinese companies from U.S.
securities exchanges or otherwise restricting their operations in the U.S., may negatively impact
the value of such securities held by the strategy. Further, from time to time, certain companies
in which the Strategy invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to
sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in
countries the U.S. government identified as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more of these
companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively
affect the company’s performance. Additionally, any difficulties of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) to inspect audit work papers and practices of
PCAOB-registered accounting firms in China with respect to their audit work of U.S. reporting
companies may impose significant additional risks associated with investments in China.
Asia Pacific Region Risk (including Japan) - In addition to the risks listed in the above section,
Asia Pacific Region (ex-Japan), the strategy’s Japanese investments may be adversely affected
by protectionist trade policies, slow economic activity worldwide, dependence on exports and
international trade, increasing competition from Asia’s other low-cost emerging economies,
political and social instability, regional and global conflicts and natural disasters, as well as by
commodity markets fluctuations related to Japan’s limited natural resource supply. The
Japanese economy also faces several other concerns, including a financial system with large
levels of nonperforming loans, over-leveraged corporate balance sheets, extensive cross-
ownership by major corporations, a changing corporate governance structure, and large
government deficits.
SMAADV2-FRM-1
19
Borrowing Risk - Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the strategy to leverage and will
cause the strategy’s share price to be more volatile because leverage will exaggerate the effect
of any increase or decrease in the value of the strategy’s portfolio securities. Borrowing money
may also require the strategy to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous to do so.
In addition, the strategy will incur interest expenses and other fees on borrowed money. There
can be no assurance that the strategy’s borrowing will enhance and not reduce the strategy’s
returns.
Call Risk - If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of callable securities with high interest
coupons will “call” (or prepay) their bonds before their maturity date. If an issuer exercises
such a call during a period of declining interest rates, the strategy may have to replace such
called security with a lower yielding security. If that were to happen, the strategy’s net
investment income could fall.
Cash/Cash Equivalents Risk - In rising markets, holding cash or cash equivalents will
negatively affect the strategy’s performance relative to its benchmark.
Credit Risk - The issuer of instruments in which the strategy invests may be unable to meet
interest and/or principal payments. An issuer’s securities may decrease in value if its financial
strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its
contractual obligations. Even in the case of collateralized debt obligations, there is no assurance
that the sale of collateral would raise enough cash to satisfy an issuer’s payment obligations or
that the collateral can or will be liquidated.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations Risk - The ESG considerations
that may be assessed as part of the investment process to implement the strategy in pursuit of
its investment objective may vary across types of eligible investments and issuers, and not
every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every investment, and not every
investment or issuer may be evaluated for ESG considerations. Strategies will not be solely
based on ESG considerations, and therefore the issuers in which a strategy invests may not be
considered ESG-focused issuers. The incorporation of ESG factors may affect exposure to
certain issuers or industries and may not work as intended. A strategy may underperform other
strategies that do not assess an issuer's ESG factors or that use a different methodology to
identify and/or incorporate ESG factors. Information used to evaluate such factors may not be
readily available, complete or accurate, and may vary across providers and issuers as ESG is
not a uniformly defined characteristic. There is no guarantee that the evaluation of ESG
considerations will be additive to performance.
Equity Securities Risk - Equity securities, including MLP common units, can be affected by
macroeconomic and other factors affecting the stock market in general, expectations of interest
rates, investor sentiment towards MLPs or the energy sector, changes in a particular issuer’s
financial condition, or unfavorable or unanticipated poor performance of a particular issuer (in
the case of MLPs, generally measured in terms of distributable cash flow). Prices of equity
securities and common units of individual MLPs also can be affected by fundamentals unique
to the partnership or company, including earnings power and coverage ratios.
SMAADV2-FRM-1
20
European Investment Risk - The Economic and Monetary Union (the “EMU”) of the European
Union (the “EU”) requires compliance with restrictions on inflation rates, deficits, interest rates,
debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country
in Europe. Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade,
changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an EU member country
on its sovereign debt, and recessions in an EU member country may have significant adverse
effects on the economies of EU member countries. Responses to financial problems by EU
countries may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic recovery,
may result in social unrest, or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or
restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional adverse effects
on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. A number of countries in
Eastern Europe remain relatively undeveloped and can be particularly sensitive to political and
economic developments. Separately, the EU faces issues involving its membership, structure,
procedures and policies. The exit of one or more member states from the European Union, such as
the departure of the United Kingdom (the “UK”), referred to as "Brexit", could place the departing
member’s currency and banking system under severe stress or even in jeopardy. An exit by other
member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic
growth in the affected markets, which will adversely affect the strategy’s investments.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk - In addition to the risks associated with the underlying assets
held by the exchange-traded fund, investments in exchange-traded funds are subject to the
following additional risks: (1) an exchange-traded fund’s shares may trade above or below its
net asset value; (2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund’s shares may not
develop or be maintained; (3) trading an exchange-traded fund’s shares may be halted by the
listing exchange; (4) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may not track the
performance of the reference asset; and (5) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may
hold troubled securities. Investment in exchange-traded funds may involve duplication of
management fees and certain other expenses, as the strategy indirectly bears its proportionate
share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain
exchange-traded funds in which the strategy may invest are leveraged, which may result in
economic leverage, permitting the strategy to gain exposure that is greater than would be the
case in an unlevered instrument and potentially resulting in greater volatility.
Financial Services Sector Risk - The strategy may be susceptible to adverse economic or
regulatory occurrences affecting the financial services sector. Financial services companies,
including financial institutions, are subject to extensive government regulation and are
disproportionately affected by unstable interest rates, volatility in the financial markets, changes
in domestic and foreign monetary policy and changes in industry regulations, each of which
could adversely affect the profitability of such companies. Financial services companies may
also have concentrated portfolios, which make them especially vulnerable to unstable economic
conditions.
Floating and Variable Rate Obligations Risk - Some fixed-income securities have variable or
floating interest rates that provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the
securities. The rate adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually, or
may be based on an event, such as a change in the stated prevailing market rate. Floating and
variable rate securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities,
SMAADV2-FRM-1
21
meaning that there may be limitations on the strategy’s ability to sell the securities at any given
time. Such securities also may lose value.
Foreign Securities and Credit Exposure Risk - U.S. dollar-denominated securities carrying
foreign credit exposure may be affected by unfavorable political, economic, or governmental
developments that could affect payments of principal and interest. Furthermore, the strategy's
foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in
economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or
increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure,
nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the strategy could
lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign
governmental restrictions such as exchange controls.
Growth Investing Risk - If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails to increase as
anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its
securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that
may experience greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established
companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for
research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any
dividends for some time. Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market
cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out of favor
or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an
acceptable price and the securities of growth companies may underperform the securities of
value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may also be more volatile than
other securities because of investor speculation.
High Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond/Below-Investment Grade) Risk - Investments in high
yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the strategy to
substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the
issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline
in market value, and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield
debt securities tend to be very volatile.
Inflation Risk - The value of assets or income from investment will be worth less in the future
as inflation decreases the value of money.
Interest Rate Risk—Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest
rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in
their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics,
including duration. “Duration risk” is related to interest rate risk; it refers to the risks
associated with the sensitivity of a bond’s price to a one percent change in interest rates. Bonds
with longer durations (i.e., a greater length of time until they reach maturity) face greater
duration risk, meaning that they tend to exhibit greater volatility and are more sensitive to
changes in interest rates than bonds with shorter durations.
SMAADV2-FRM-1
22
Investment Companies Risk - Investing in investment companies could result in the duplication
of certain fees, including management and administrative fees, and may expose the strategy to
the risks of owning the underlying investments that the other investment company holds.
Issuer-Specific Changes Risk - The performance of the strategy depends on the performance of
individual securities to which the strategy has exposure. The value of an individual security or
particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform worse
than the market as a whole, causing the value of its securities to decline. Poor performance may
be caused by poor management decisions, competitive pressures, changes in technology,
expiration of patent protection, disruptions in supply, labor problems or shortages, corporate
restructurings, fraudulent disclosures or other factors. Issuers may, in times of distress or at their
own discretion, decide to reduce or eliminate dividends, which may also cause their stock prices
to decline.
Liquidity Risk - The strategy may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it
desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities
can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the strategy’s
securities become illiquid, the strategy may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and
may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
Long/Short Strategy Risk - There is no guarantee that returns on a portfolio’s long or short
positions will produce high, or even positive, returns. The portfolio could lose money if either
or both of the portfolio’s long and short positions produce negative returns.
Market Disruption Risks Related to Armed Conflict - As a result of increasingly interconnected
global economies and financial markets, armed conflict between countries or in a geographic
region, for example the current conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and Hamas and
Israel in the Middle East, has the potential to adversely impact the strategy’s investments. Such
conflicts, and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe
negative effects on regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased
volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative impacts may be particularly
acute in certain sectors. The timing and duration of such conflicts, resulting sanctions, related
events and other implications cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on strategy performance and the value of an investment in the strategy, even beyond any
direct investment exposure the strategy may have to issuers located in or with significant
exposure to an impacted country or geographic regions.
Market Risk - The market values of the strategy’s investments, and therefore, the value of its
shares, will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. The value of the strategy’s
investments may go up or down due to general market conditions that are not specifically
related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes
in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates,
regional or global instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the
strategy’s investments may also go up or down due to factors that affect an individual issuer or
a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions
within an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other
public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, economic crisis or other events
SMAADV2-FRM-1
23
may have a significant impact on the value of the strategy’s investments, as well as the
financial markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the
ability of IMA to effectively implement the strategy’s investment strategy. During a general
downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets
perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the strategy will rise
in value.
Model and Quantitative Risks - Invesco uses proprietary and third-party quantitative tools to
assist portfolio managers and analysts in constructing portfolios and making investment
decisions. If these tools have errors or are flawed or incomplete, and such issues are not
identified, it may have an adverse effect on client investment performance.
Model Delivery Risk - Where a client invests in a portfolio constructed by Invesco and
delivered to a third-party provider for that party to implement in client portfolios, the portfolio
is not customized by Invesco for the individual client’s situation and Invesco cannot
accommodate any individual client restrictions. The party implementing the portfolio may not
achieve the same results as a similar portfolio managed by Invesco.
Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) Risk—MBS are often exposed to extension risk, where
obligations on the underlying assets are not paid on time (which could happen if interest rates
rise), and prepayment risks, where obligations on the underlying assets are paid earlier than
expected (which could happen when interest rates fall). These risks may have a substantial
impact on the timing and size of the cash flows paid by the securities and may negatively
impact the returns of the securities. The average life of each individual security may be
affected by a large number of factors such as the existence and frequency of exercise of any
optional redemption and mandatory prepayment, the prevailing level of interest rates, the
actual default rate of the underlying assets, the timing of recoveries and the level of rotation in
the underlying assets.
Municipal Securities Risk - The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the
financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments,
executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional
economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment
of principal and the strategy’s ability to sell the security. Failure of a municipal security issuer
to comply with applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting
in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws
or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on
municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of
municipal securities.
Operational Risk - The strategy is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of
factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors
of the strategy’s service providers, counterparties or other third parties, failed or inadequate
processes and technology or systems failures. IMA seeks to reduce these operational risks
through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk
and may be inadequate to address these risks,
SMAADV2-FRM-1
24
Preferred Securities Risk - Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks
applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds
or other debt instruments, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid
than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with
respect to the issuer.
Prepayment Risk - The ability of the borrower of a loan to repay principal prior to maturity can
limit the potential for gains by the strategy. During periods of declining interest rates, the
borrower of a loan may exercise its option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing
replacement of such a loan with a lower yielding loan. If interest rates are falling, the strategy may
have to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the
strategy’s income.
Quantitative Models Risk - Quantitative models are based upon many factors that measure
individual securities relative to each other. Quantitative models may be highly reliant on the
gathering, cleaning, culling and analysis of large amounts of data from third parties and other
external sources. Any errors or imperfections in the factors, or the data on which measurements
of those factors are based, could adversely affect the use of the quantitative models. The factors
used in models may not identify securities that perform well in the future, and the securities
selected may perform differently from the market as a whole or from their expected
performance.
Reinvestment Risk - Reinvestment risk is the risk that the strategy will not be able to reinvest
income or principal at the same return it is currently earning. Reinvestment risk is greater
during periods of declining interest rates, as prepayments often occur faster. It is related to call
risk, since issuers of callable securities with high interest coupons may call their bonds before
their maturity date. This may require the strategy to reinvest the proceeds at an earlier date, and
it may be able to do so only at lower yields, thereby reducing its return.
Sampling Risk - An index strategy’s use of a representative sampling approach will result in it
holding a smaller number of securities than are in its underlying index. As a result, an adverse
development respecting an issuer of securities held by the strategy could result in a greater
decline in the account than would be the case if the strategy held all of the securities in the
underlying index. To the extent the assets in the strategy are smaller, these risks will be greater.
Short Position Risk - Because the strategy’s potential loss on a short position arises from
increases in the value of the asset sold short, the strategy will incur a loss on a short position,
which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale
price. The counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the strategy
from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any
gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the strategy’s short positions may cause the strategy
to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the strategy
holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short
positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the strategy’s long
positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any losses,
potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the
strategy’s returns.
SMAADV2-FRM-1
25
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risks - Investing in securities of small- and mid-
capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in
larger, more established companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to
be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or
track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced
management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities
may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. They may be
more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more
abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes
and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, where
the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of larger
companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller
companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for a Strategy to
dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Since small- and mid-
cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may
not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a
substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if
any gain is realized at all.
Subordinated Debt Risk - Perpetual subordinated debt is a type of hybrid instrument that has no
maturity date for the return of principal and does not need to be redeemed by the issuer. These
investments typically have lower credit ratings and lower priority than other obligations of an
issuer during bankruptcy, presenting a greater risk for nonpayment. This risk increases as the
priority of the obligation becomes lower. Payments on these securities may be subordinated to
all existing and future liabilities and obligations of subsidiaries and associated companies of an
issuer. Additionally, some perpetual subordinated debt does not restrict the ability of an issuer’s
subsidiaries to incur further unsecured indebtedness.
Tax-Managed Investing Risk - Investment strategies that seek to enhance after-tax performance
may be unable to fully realize strategic gains or harvest losses due to various factors. Market
conditions may limit the ability to generate tax losses or to generate dividend income taxed at
favorable tax rates. A tax-managed strategy may cause a client portfolio to hold a security in
order to achieve more favorable tax treatment or to sell a security in order to create tax losses.
The ability to utilize various tax-management techniques may be curtailed or eliminated in the
future by tax legislation, regulation, or guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service. The
benefit of tax-managed investing to an individual investor is dependent upon the tax liability of
that investor. If an investor has accounts containing the same or substantially similar securities
as the account IMA has discretion over, transacting in those accounts may generate wash sales
and delay an investor from being able to access the tax loss and tax alpha generated in the IMA
account (see IRS rules and Publication 550). Over time, the ability of an investor in a tax-
managed strategy to harvest losses may decrease and gains may build up in a securities
portfolio.
Tracking Error Risk - The performance of a client portfolio may not match or be within the
expected deviation from the index it attempts to track, either on a daily or annualized basis.
Index sampling rather than replication, fees and trading expenses, client-imposed restrictions,
index changes or corporate actions, portfolio turnover and use of leverage, among other things
SMAADV2-FRM-1
26
can all contribute to tracking error. Tracking error risk may cause the performance of a client
portfolio to deviate from the performance of the index it tracks and be more or less than
expected.
Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Risk - Inflation risk poses concerns for
investors planning to live off of bond income, as inflation rises purchasing power is lowered.
Typically, inflation- protected bonds have lower yields than conventional fixed- rate bonds.
TIPS generally provide a hedge against inflation, however, during a deflation, the principal
and income of inflation-protected bonds would likely decline in value.
U.S. Government Obligations Risk - Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities
receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government, which could affect the strategy’s ability to recover should they default. No
assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support to its agencies
and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
Item 9 Disciplinary Information
On May 31, 2021, Invesco Ltd., the ultimate parent company of IMA, agreed to a settlement
with the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (“Bafin”) in the amount of 260,000 Euros
(approximately $309,595 USD) for a matter related to ownership filings with the German
regulator in relation to German listed companies. BaFin alleged Invesco Ltd. and AIM
international mutual funds failed to submit voting rights notifications to BaFin and issuers by the
required deadline. BaFin issued a Notice of Hearing on July 30, 2020, to Invesco Ltd. alleging
that violations of the voting rights requirements occurred on 26 occasions related to the voting
rights notifications of Invesco Ltd. and on 28 occasions relating to the voting rights notifications
of AIM international mutual funds between 05/2019 and 10/2019. Invesco Ltd. paid the
administrative fine on June 30, 2021.
On September 24, 2024, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“IAI”), an investment advisory affiliate of
Invesco Managed Accounts, LLC and Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”), an affiliated broker-
dealer (together, with IAI, “Invesco”) entered into a settlement with the U.S. Securities &
Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with the agency’s industry-wide investigation into
the maintenance and preservation of electronic communications pursuant to applicable
recordkeeping provisions of federal securities law. The settlement censures Invesco and requires
that Invesco cease and desist from any existing and future violations, pay a civil monetary
penalty of $35,000,000 and retain an independent compliance consultant, following the format
for all other recent electronic communications settlements. Invesco cooperated with the
government’s inquiry and has already taken significant steps to further strengthen the firm’s
compliance environment as it relates to electronic communications, including by enhancing its
policies and procedures, implementing increased training regarding the use of electronic
communications, and beginning to implement changes to the technology available to employees.
On November 8, 2024, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“IAI”) entered into a settlement with the SEC
regarding IAI’s environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) policies and procedures. The
SMAADV2-FRM-1
27
SEC found that IAI lacked comprehensive policies and procedures to determine the percentage
of company-wide assets under management (“AUM”) that was ESG integrated. The SEC also
found that IAI made misleading statements concerning the company-wide percentage of AUM
that was ESG integrated. IAI was censured and ordered to cease and desist from violating
Sections 206(2) and 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 206(4)-1, 206(4)-7 and 206(4)-8
thereunder. IAI agreed to pay a penalty of $17.5 million.

Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal
Trading
IMA and its affiliates (collectively “Invesco”) have implemented firm wide policies and
procedures, such as the Global Code of Conduct, Global Privacy, Global Insider trading Policy,
Gifts and Entertainment (aka Inducement Policies), Global Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption, all
of which are designed to prevent and address conflicts of interest. These policies and procedures
reflect the fiduciary principles that govern the conduct of IMA and its employees, some of those
policies and procedures are listed below.
Code of Conduct
Invesco, including IMA, operates in highly regulated and complex global environment. The
Global Code of Conduct Policy (the “COC Policy”) provides IMA and their employees with a
clear statement of our ethical and cultural standards. First and foremost, we serve our clients as
fiduciaries. The COC Policy outlines Invesco’s key principles, reporting and compliance with the
COC Policy, and is meant to supplement Invesco’s broader global compliance policies.
No less than annually employees are required to certify to the COC Policy, and they are expected
to abide both the letter and the spirit of the COC Policy.
Code of Ethics
Invesco, including IMA, has adopted a Code of Ethics and Personal Trading Policy (the “Code”)
pursuant to Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act and Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act. In
conforming with those rules, the Code contains provisions for personal trading and reporting
requirements that are designed to address and prevent potential conflicts of interest.
The Code applies to all Invesco employees and their immediate family members, who must pre-
clear their personal securities transactions, report and certify to their holdings on a periodic basis.
All employees are required to maintain personal accounts with an approved broker- dealer. The
Code also includes additional pre-clearance provisions and restrictions for Investment Persons,
whom may have incentive to favor products for which they may have a personal interest.
The Code also imposes restrictions on personal securities transactions, such as profiting from
short-term trades, instituting blackout periods, restricting certain investment activities, such as
participation in IPOs or limited offerings and insider trading. Invesco also maintains and
monitors a restricted list which is designed to avoid potential conflicts of interest or the
appearance of an undue influence in the selection of investments.
Invesco has also established a violation and escalation procedure with respect to the Code, which
outlines what remedial actions should be taken in response to a violation, which includes, but is
not limited to, imposing sanctions, such as suspension, demotion, or disgorgement of profits.
The Code is available to clients or prospective clients upon request.
SMAADV2-FRM-1
30
Material Non-Public Information/Insider Trading
Invesco adopted an Americas Insider Trading Policy, which was designed to detect and prevent
insiders who may acquire confidential or material, non-public information pertaining to an issuer
that may prevent or prohibit Invesco from providing investment advice to client accounts with
respect to such issuer irrespective of a client account’s investment objectives or guidelines.
Under the Code, Covered Persons are prohibited from trading, either personally or on behalf of
others on material non-public information or communicating material non-public information to
others in violation of the law. Invesco also has adopted the Invesco Ltd. Insider Trading Policy
applying restrictions that apply to certain transactions in Invesco’s securities (e.g., short-sales or
publicly traded options), and there are exemptions specific to certain transactions under Invesco
sponsored plans (e.g., stock awards or direct stock purchases, ESPP, 401k and Dividend
Reinvestment Plan). In connection with certain activities of Invesco, Covered Persons may
acquire confidential or material non-public information or be restricted from initiating
transactions in certain securities. Per the Americas Insider Trading Policy, Invesco will not be
free to act upon any such information. Due to these restrictions, Invesco may not be able to
initiate a transaction that it otherwise might have initiated and may not be able to sell an
investment that it otherwise might have sold.
Outside Business Activities
All Invesco employees are subject to the Global Outside Business Activities Policy which
requires employees to obtain approval before engaging in outside activities. An outside business
activity refers to any outside activity for which an employee is engaged, outside of their duties
and responsibilities to (or with) Invesco, regardless of whether the activity is compensated
(monetarily or otherwise). Prior review and approval of an outside activity allows Invesco the
opportunity to consider whether the activity creates an actual or potential conflict of interest.
Political Contributions
The Global Political Contributions Policy (the “PC Policy”) was established to comply with
applicable U.S. federal, state and local regulations. Under the PC Policy, Invesco and its
employees are prohibited from making or soliciting political contributions or engaging in
political activities for the purpose of procuring and retaining business with U.S. government
entities. Non-U.S. nationals are prohibited, as a matter of law, from making contributions to
political candidates in U.S. federal, state and local elections. The PC Policy applies to all Invesco
employees, the employee’s spouse and dependent children under the age of 26 who live at home
and are eligible to vote in U.S. elections. All political contributions must be pre-cleared prior to
making any political contribution, and employees are prohibited from making any political
contributions on behalf of an Invesco Advisers or any of its affiliates.
Gifts and Entertainment
Invesco has adopted the U.S. Gifts and Entertainment Policy that is designed to (i) restrict and
limit the giving or receiving of gifts, entertainment, or meals by personnel, and (ii) along with
the Code, address or avoid any potential or actual conflicts of interest between personal interests
of such personnel and clients. Occasionally, personnel participate in entertainment opportunities
that are for legitimate business purposes, subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in the
U.S. Gifts and Entertainment Policy, and the Code.

Conflicts of Interest
IMA and its related entities engage in a broad range of activities, including investment activities
for their own account and for the account of other clients, and provide transaction-related,
investment advisory, management and other services to funds and operating companies. In the
ordinary course of conducting its activities, the interests of a client will, from time to time,
conflict with the interests of IMA, other clients, or their respective affiliates. Certain of these
conflicts of interest, as well a description of how these conflicts are addressed can be found
below.
The material conflicts of interest encountered by a client include those discussed below, although
the discussion below does not necessarily describe all conflicts that may be faced by a client.
Other conflicts may be disclosed throughout this brochure and the brochure should be read in its
entirety for other conflicts. Our policies and procedures are intended to identify these and other
potential conflicts and to assure that in all instances client interests come first.
Portfolio Manager Conflicts of Interest
Portfolio managers managing multiple accounts are subject to the following actual or apparent
conflicts of interest:
Certain portfolio managers of strategies offered by IMA may also serve in a similar capacity for
funds or other accounts managed by Invesco Advisers, Inc. Conversely, certain portfolio
managers of strategies offered by Invesco Advisers, Inc. may also serve in a similar capacity for
funds or other accounts managed by IMA.
The management of multiple accounts or strategies can result in a portfolio manager devoting
unequal time and attention to the management of each account. Invesco seeks to manage such
competing interests by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline.
Generally, a portfolio manager will use the same or similar investment model for a given
investment discipline with respect to accounts managed by IMA and those non-IMA accounts or
strategies for which he/she is also responsible. Therefore, IMA accounts and other client
accounts following the same investment strategy typically hold the same or similar securities.
A portfolio manager could identify a limited investment opportunity that would be suitable for
some but not all advisory accounts they manage. Invesco has adopted procedures for allocating
portfolio transactions across multiple accounts to mitigate these conflicts. See Item 12,
“Brokerage Practices” below for further information.
Inconsistent Investment Positions and Strategies, and Timing of Competing Transactions
From time to time, Invesco will buy, sell or hold securities in the same investment products as it
or related persons have some financial interest, including ownership. In addition, Invesco and
other affiliates may buy, sell or hold the same securities they may have recommended to clients
while also advising the opposite investment decision for one or more other clients These
positions and actions may result in an adverse impact or in some instances may benefit one or
more affected clients, including clients that are our affiliates. For example, a long/short position
in two client accounts simultaneously can result in a loss to one client based on a decision to take
SMAADV2-FRM-1
32
a gain in the other. Taking concurrent conflicting positions in certain derivative instruments can
likewise result in a loss to one client and a gain to another.
Invesco will also face conflicts of interest when they hold significant positions in illiquid
securities in side-by-side accounts. In a similar manner, transactions, or investments by one or
more clients could cause a dilution or otherwise disadvantage the values, prices, or investment
strategies of another client.
Under certain circumstances, a client will invest in a transaction in which one or more other
clients are expected to participate or already have made or will seek to make, an investment.
Such clients (or groups of clients) will have conflicting interests and objectives in connection
with such investments, including with respect to views on the operations or activities of the
issuer involved, the targeted returns from the investment and the timeframe for, and method of
exiting the investment.
Certain clients of Invesco and its affiliates invest in bank debt and securities of companies in
which other clients hold securities, including equity securities. If such investments are made by a
client account, the interests of such client account could be in conflict with the interest of such
other client account particularly in circumstances where the underlying company is facing
financial distress. The involvement of such persons at both the equity and debt levels could
inhibit strategic information exchanges among fellow creditors.
Investment of Invesco and its Affiliates Capital
From time to time, Invesco will invest their own capital in securities or investment vehicles in
which clients also have investments. Although Invesco typically invests only in liquid
instruments including, but not limited to, U.S. Treasury securities and corporate debt obligations,
Invesco may invest in any asset class.
Investment in and Offerings of Affiliated Products
From time to time, Invesco will either invest client assets in affiliated products or propose
investment models which include affiliated products to clients. In certain cases, Invesco has an
incentive to allocate investments to such affiliated products both to increase scale of a product
and to generate additional fees for Invesco and its affiliates. IMA may agree to waive its
advisory fees proportionate to amounts invested by a client in an affiliated mutual fund or ETF or
in some cases may utilize a no-management fee product.
Investment in Affiliated Accounts
From time to time, Invesco will provide investment advice to limited partnerships, limited
liability companies or other types of legal entities formed to make investments. Invesco may be a
limited partner or act as the general partner (or in similar capacities) and own a percentage of the
entity. In these cases, Invesco or an affiliate will also receive a portion of the profits. Invesco
may invest client accounts in, or recommend the purchase of, affiliated commingled funds.
Invesco may also, in appropriate circumstances and consistent with the client’s investment
objectives and applicable law, recommend to clients’ investment products in which the Firm or a
related party has a financial interest. Invesco has an incentive to allocate investments to these
types of affiliated client accounts in order to generate additional fees for Invesco.
SMAADV2-FRM-1
33
Employee Co-investment Program and Other Employee Personal Investments
From time to time, Invesco employees, officers or directors may be offered the opportunity to
participate in a co-investment program with Invesco.
Invesco employees, officers or directors may also purchase securities in non-public transactions
outside the context of co-investment programs. Thereafter, Invesco may recommend the
purchase of publicly issued securities of the same issuers for their clients. In this event, the
Invesco employee, who made a personal investment in a non-public transaction of such issuer,
will not participate in the consideration of whether Invesco clients should invest in that issuer’s
securities. Such consideration will be subject to independent review by the Firm’s investment
personnel having no personal investment in the issuer.
From time to time, certain employees of IMA or any other Invesco affiliates may invest in
securities held by or deemed suitable for our clients if prior approval is obtained from the
Compliance Department. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior approval is required of IMA
employees to invest in other types of investments, including but not limited to U.S. government
securities, money market instruments, variable insurance products, currencies, commodities,
open-end mutual funds, and Unaffiliated ETFs. A “de minimis exemption” under the Code is
available to employees if certain requirements have been met. Further, the blackout period
restrictions shall not apply to purchases and sales of a Covered Security that comply with certain
specifications (e.g., large market capitalization) as may be determined from time to time by the
Compliance Department.
Trading for certain employee or client accounts may be restricted due to certain relationships
with an actual or potential investee company. Invesco maintains and monitors a restricted list for
such situations which is designed to avoid potential conflicts of interest or the appearance of an
undue influence in the selection of investments.
Information Possessed or Provided by Adviser
Availability of Proprietary Information
In connection with Invesco activities, certain persons within Invesco will receive information
regarding proposed investment activities for Invesco that is not generally available to the public.
Also, Invesco has access to certain fundamental analyses, research and proprietary technical
models developed internally or by other members of Invesco Ltd., its affiliates, and certain third
parties and their respective personnel. There will be no obligation on the part of Invesco to make
available for use by a client, or to effect transactions on behalf of a client on the basis of any
such information, strategies, analyses, or models known to them or developed in connection with
their own proprietary or other activities. Similarly, one or more clients will have, as a result of
receiving client reports or otherwise, access to information regarding Invesco’s transactions or
views that are not available to other clients and may act on such information through accounts
managed by persons other than Invesco.
Material, Non-Public Information
Invesco will from time to time receive material, non-public information, which if disclosed may
affect an investor’s decision to buy, sell or hold a security. Under applicable law, employees of
Invesco are generally prohibited from disclosing or using such information for their own
SMAADV2-FRM-1
34
personal benefit or for the benefit of any other person, regardless of whether that person is a
client. Accordingly, should an employee of Invesco obtain material, non-public information with
respect to an issuer, he or she is generally prohibited from communicating that information to, or
using that information for the benefit of Invesco clients. Holdings of securities or other
instruments of an issuer by IMA or its affiliates may affect the ability of Invesco clients to buy,
sell or hold investments and such issuer. Invesco has no obligation or responsibility to disclose
the information to, or use such information for the benefit of, any person (including Invesco
clients) even if requested by IMA or its affiliates even if failure to do so would be detrimental to
the interests of that person. Pursuant to Americas Information Barrier procedures, permanent
information barriers are constructed where needed to prevent the flow of material, non-public
information between relevant business units and/or entities’ personnel.
Fees Received by IMA and its Affiliates
IMA, on behalf of its client accounts, may invest in securities, assets, funds, or products with
respect to which IMA’s affiliates receive a fee for investment advisory, administrative, index
component selection, marketing, distributing or other services. The receipt of compensation by
IMA’s affiliates creates a conflict of interest for IMA’s client accounts and creates an incentive
for IMA to invest in such funds or products. IMA will address any such conflict by crediting or
waiving its advisory and/or management fees to offset such compensation received by its
affiliates.
IMA and its affiliates may receive greater fees or other compensation (including, in the case of
affiliates, performance-based fees) from one client account compared to another client account,
which creates an incentive for IMA or its affiliates to favor such accounts. IMA and its affiliates
have adopted policies, procedures, and guidelines to address and minimize any potential conflicts
of interest that may arise as a result of such arrangements. These policies and procedures are
designed to monitor and prevent IMA from inappropriately favoring one type of an account over
another. Generally, IMA makes allocation decisions at the strategy-level, followed by an
assessment of how to allocate investments among clients within the same strategy regardless of
the investment advisory fees paid to IMA.
Trading and Brokerage Selection
IMA and/or its affiliates may have ownership interests or business relationships with broker-
dealers, securities exchanges or other entities that facilitate trade execution. A conflict may arise
in instances where IMA’s affiliates direct trades to such a broker- dealer or entity or directs
trades to a broker-dealer based on an understanding that such broker-dealer will execute a certain
volume of such trades through a securities exchange in which its affiliate has an ownership
interest, that will directly or indirectly benefit that affiliate. While IMA or its affiliates seek to
achieve best execution and will not consider ownership interests or business relationships of its
affiliate as a factor when seeking to achieve best execution, such trades may result in a benefit to
that affiliate.
Principal Transactions
From time to time, IMA and/or its affiliates may engage in principal securities transactions in
which it purchases or sells securities from/to an account of a client in compliance with applicable
law, including the Advisers Act. The execution of each principal securities transaction is subject
to the approval of each client participating in such transaction and the applicable regulatory
SMAADV2-FRM-1
35
requirements. Moreover, there may be a conflict of interest in instances where IMA or its
affiliates own more than 25% of a fund advised by IMA or its affiliates (i.e., a proprietary fund).
In such circumstances, that fund will be placed on a cross trading restricted list to prevent IMA
or its affiliates from affecting any such cross trade with any those funds. This restriction does not
apply to a mutual fund engaging in interfund cross trades in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under
the Investment Company Act.
Our Approach to Potential Conflicts
Various parts of the Brochure address potential conflicts of interest based on the Adviser’s
business. Therefore, Invesco takes steps to mitigate, or at least disclose, potential conflicts when
they arise. Conflicts are generally mitigated through written policies and procedures that are
developed to protect the interest of our clients. IMA and/or its affiliate, handles these conflicts by
complying with the applicable laws, rules and regulations and internal policies and procedures.
In addition, IMA and/or its affiliate reviews its policies and procedures on an ongoing basis to
evaluate their effectiveness.
Item 12 Brokerage Practices
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
IMA does not use soft dollars for any accounts.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
IMA does not consider, in selecting broker-dealers, whether IMA or a related person receives
client referrals from such broker-dealer or third parties.
Directed Brokerage
IMA does not recommend, request or require that a client direct execution of transactions
through a specified broker-dealer and IMA does not permit its fixed income clients to direct
execution of transactions through a specified broker-dealer.
With respect to Fixed Income Wrap Program accounts for which IMA has trading discretion;
IMA’s fixed Income accounts are typically “traded away” from the sponsoring broker designated
by the Wrap Program Sponsor (Sponsoring Broker) because: (i) Fixed Income is typically traded
on a principal basis and Wrap Program Sponsors often limit trading with their Sponsoring Broker
to Agency transactions and (ii) IMA seeks to obtain best execution by aggregating client trades
and utilizing its extensive approved broker list.
With respect to Equity Wrap Program accounts for which IMA has trading discretion; trades are
typically directed to the Sponsoring Broker for execution because the associated wrap fee
generally covers the cost of brokerage commissions and other transaction fees on transactions
effected through the Sponsoring Broker. In some cases, the Wrap Program Sponsor imposes a
trading restriction (including a directed brokerage instruction).
SMAADV2-FRM-1
36
Fixed Income
IMA’s Portfolio Managers primarily invests in fixed-income securities, which are traded in
dealer markets. When determining which dealers with whom to trade, IMA takes into account
dealers’ (i) expertise and market-making capabilities with respect to the type of securities being
bought or sold, (ii) history of making competitive bids and offers, and (iii) history of flexibility
with respect to settlement dates. In seeking best execution, the IMA investment team shall
execute securities transactions for client accounts in such a manner that the client’s total cost or
proceeds in each transaction is most favorable under the circumstances of the particular
transaction. While it is IMA’s general practice to transact business with the dealer making the
best bid or offer on each security transaction, consistent with settlement date needs of its clients,
IMA is not obligated to choose the broker-dealer offering the lowest available price if, in the
trader’s reasonable judgement more favorable execution can be achieved elsewhere. In seeking
best execution trading cost is one factor IMA considers. Other factors include, but are not limited
to, price, quality, speed, efficiency, confidentiality reliability of brokerage services, execution
capability, a firm’s financial responsibility, the difficulty of specific transactions, and any other
logistical or processing considerations.
Purchase and sale orders for fixed income securities are primarily executed by IMA’s portfolio
managers, and traders under the general supervision of The Head of Fixed Income for Invesco
Managed Accounts. In addition, IMA may utilize the Invesco Trading Desk for execution of
certain new issue fixed income trades. Trades placed by the Invesco Trading Desk are under the
general supervision of the Invesco Global Head of Fixed Income Trading.
Fixed Income Trade Aggregation and Allocation
When implementing Fixed Income portfolios, IMA will aggregate trades across various client
accounts. This is done only when the purchase or sale of a security is in the best interest of each
individual client account. When a trade is aggregated across client accounts, one or all of the
following characteristics of each individual account is considered: chosen investment strategy,
risk tolerance, investment objective, investment horizon, liquidity needs, place of residence,
marginal tax bracket, and any limits or preferences the client has specified regarding their
account.
In allocating the aggregated trades to client accounts, IMA’s practice is to act in the best interest
of its clients’ accounts and allocate securities to portfolios on a fair and equitable basis, taking
into account (i) the suitability of the available security for each portfolio, given the credit and
maturity profiles of the portfolios, (ii) the proportion of cash awaiting investment to the overall
size of each portfolio, (iii) the opportunity to break the security purchased into transactional-
efficient multiples when distributing allocations among portfolios, and (iv) the availability of
close substitutes among securities offered in the new issue and secondary markets.
As an initial matter, IMA first determines which portfolios can and should participate in an
investment opportunity. This determination is generally made at the strategy-level, and certain
investment opportunities may be allocated on a priority basis to certain strategies for which a
particular investment is most suited (including state specific strategies for accounts holding
municipal bonds). For allocations among similar accounts IMA will determine which portfolios
have priority in receiving securities (upon fill) based on the intent of the trade. For example:
SMAADV2-FRM-1
37
a. Any account holding cash above our maximum threshold is generally considered to be the
high priority. If there are more accounts holding cash than available bonds, the accounts
that have been in cash the longest will typically by prioritized.
b. If the trade is being executed with the intention of duration maintenance (extension from
bottom of or below strategy duration target), the accounts will be prioritized lowest to
highest duration.
c. If the trade is in one of the team’s focus sectors or focus issuers (i.e. a high conviction
position within a strategy), the accounts will be prioritized based on current account
positioning.
d. When allocating investments across accounts based on a set model portfolio, IMA traders
will model the order allocation based on the amount of the security the participating
accounts require to be in line with the model’s target for that security. Under normal
circumstances, for the Model Client account trades facilitated by IMA traders, allocation
of these trades, including partial fills, will be pro rata based on order size.
An account may not receive an allocation that it would otherwise receive in accordance with the
parameters above if: (i) such an allocation would cause one or more accounts to receive a de
minimums amount of the relevant fill or violate relevant holding requirements of the related
security (e.g., minimum or authorized denomination requirements) or (ii) Cash or liquidity
concerns arise with respect to the account.
To the extent possible, the trader will include the orders for accounts with trading restrictions
with an aggregated order. Accounts and managed wrap accounts with trading restrictions may
mandate that IMA will not trade with certain broker-dealers. In certain instances, available
sellers or buyers of a particular fixed income security may be limited to one or more broker-
dealers. In these instances, the mandates of the accounts with trading restrictions may limit these
accounts from participating in particular transactions.
Fixed Income Cross Trades
IMA may effect cross transactions between its fixed income client accounts where one client
account purchases securities held in another client account. Typically, IMA will arrange for cross
transactions to be effected through a third-party broker-dealer. Cross transactions in municipal
bonds are effected at a price obtained from an independent pricing service, plus or minus any
applicable mark-up or mark-down (‘‘transaction cost’’) charged by the facilitating broker- dealer
to the applicable clients. Cross transactions in bonds other than municipal bonds are affected at a
price equal to the mean between the highest bid and lowest ask obtained on the bond, plus or
minus any transaction costs charged by the facilitating broker-dealer to the applicable clients.
These transaction costs will result in a client paying more for a purchase or receiving less from a
sale than if the trade was crossed without the use of a broker-dealer. IMA will arrange for cross
transactions to be effected only when they are in the best interest of all affected clients, when
such transactions satisfy its duty of best execution, and when IMA has a reasonable basis for
believing that the price at which the transaction is booked is fair to all affected clients. IMA does
not effect cross transactions between or among client accounts governed by ERISA.
SMAADV2-FRM-1
38
Equity
IMA offers equity investment strategies, implemented by Invesco Advisers. Many brokerage
firms offer zero commission trading for liquid securities such as domestic equities and ADRs.
The trade-away fees charged by such firms generally exceed the benefits of any incremental
price improvement which could be obtained by trading with other counterparties. Additionally,
IMA’s custom equity strategies are optimized based the cost basis of the holdings in each
account, and do not all trade the same securities concurrently. For these reasons, with respect to
the equity strategies implemented by Invesco Advisers, trades are generally sent to the client’s
custodial broker for execution rather than aggregated and sent to market by an Invesco trading
desk. IMA is not obligated to choose the broker-dealer offering the lowest available price or
commission if, in its reasonable judgement more favorable execution can be achieved elsewhere.
For further information about Invesco Advisers, including its business practices and advisory
services, please refer to its Form ADV brochure as filed with the SEC.
Model-Delivery
In Model-Delivery programs Invesco delivers a model portfolio to a program sponsor and does
not have discretion to make specific investment decisions for individual client accounts. IMA’s
Model Delivery strategies are sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and Invesco Capital Management
and delivered by Invesco Advisers, Inc.
Invesco Advisers uses a randomly generated rotation schedule (a “randomizer”) to generate a
trade rotation order for Non-Discretionary Wrap Program Accounts. Invesco Advisers will
deliver investment recommendations or trade instructions to each Program Sponsor/Sponsoring
Broker sequentially in the order of the randomized schedule generated by the randomizer.
Invesco Advisers will proceed to the next Program Sponsor/Sponsoring Broker in the
randomized schedule once delivery of investment recommendations or trade instructions to the
prior Program Sponsor/Sponsoring Broker is complete. Depending on a client account’s relative
place in the rotation for any given transaction, and other factors including price movements and
variations in trade execution, the performance of the account may differ from, and be better or
worse than, the performance of other accounts following the same investment strategy; however,
Invesco Advisers believes the trade rotation policy treats all Non-Discretionary Wrap Program
Accounts fairly and equitably over time. Randomizer rotation schedule logs are reviewed by
Invesco Advisers’ Compliance department on a quarterly basis to ensure that each Non-
Discretionary Wrap Program Account receives fair and equitable treatment.
For further information about Invesco Advisers, including its business practices and advisory
services, please refer to its Form ADV brochure as filed with the SEC.
Item 13 Review of Accounts
Account Reviews
IMA monitors all investment portfolios as part of a continuous and ongoing process. All
investment advisory clients who are direct clients of IMA are encouraged to discuss their needs,
goals and objectives with IMA and to keep IMA informed of any changes thereto. IMA contacts
these ongoing investment advisory clients at least annually to review its previous services and/or
SMAADV2-FRM-1
39
recommendations and to discuss the impact resulting from any changes in the client’s financial
situation and/or investment objectives. These personalized review meetings will be conducted
with the client’s Market Leader Consultant or in some cases with a Portfolio Manager.
Account Statements and Reports
Clients are provided with transaction confirmation notices and regular summary account
statements directly from the Financial Institutions where their assets are custodied. On a
quarterly basis, IMA also sends performance reports directly to certain clients, those clients are
encouraged to compare the report with the information contained in the account statements they
receive from their custodians. Not all accounts receive a statement directly from IMA, where
IMA sub-advises for another adviser IMA sends statements to the adviser that is contracted with
IMA, and for certain accounts invested through financial intermediaries or wrap programs IMA
does not send a statement.
Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Client Referrals
IMA has various arrangements in place with affiliates and affiliated entities for referral of clients
If a client is introduced to IMA by either an unaffiliated or an affiliated endorsement, IMA may
pay that endorser a referral fee in accordance with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 under the
Advisers Act and any applicable state securities law requirements. Third party (i.e., unaffiliated)
endorsers will disclose, among other things, the material terms of the arrangement and any
material conflicts at the time of the endorsement. Unless otherwise disclosed, any such referral
fee is paid solely from IMA’s investment management fee and does not result in any additional
charge to the client. Any affiliated endorser of IMA discloses the nature of his/her relationship
with IMA to prospective clients at the time of the endorsement and will provide all prospective
clients with a copy of this Brochure at the time of the endorsement.
Participation in Fidelity Wealth Advisor Solutions®
IMA participates in the Fidelity Wealth Advisor Solutions® Program (the “WAS Program”),
through which IMA receives referrals from Fidelity Personal and Workplace Advisors LLC
(FPWA), a registered investment adviser and Fidelity Investments company. IMA is independent
and not affiliated with FPWA or any Fidelity Investments company. FPWA does not supervise
or control IMA, and FPWA has no responsibility or oversight for IMA’s provision of investment
management or other advisory services.
Under the WAS Program, FPWA acts as an endorser for IMA, and IMA pays referral fees to
FPWA for each referral received based on IMA’s assets under management attributable to each
client referred by FPWA or members of each client’s household. The WAS Program is designed
to help investors find an independent investment advisor, and any referral from FPWA to IMA
does not constitute a recommendation by FPWA of IMA’s particular investment management
services or strategies. More specifically, IMA pays an annual percentage of 0.10% of any and all
assets in client accounts where such assets are identified as “fixed income” assets by FPWA. In
addition, IMA has agreed to pay FPWA a minimum annual fee amount in connection with its
participation in the WAS Program. These referral fees are paid by IMA and not the client. To
SMAADV2-FRM-1
40
receive referrals from the WAS Program, IMA must meet certain minimum participation criteria,
but IMA may have been selected for participation in the WAS Program as a result of its other
business relationships with FPWA and its affiliates, including Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC
(“FBS”). As a result of its participation in the WAS Program, IMA has a potential conflict of
interest with respect to its decision to use certain affiliates of FPWA, including FBS, for
execution, custody and clearing for certain client accounts, and IMA has an incentive to suggest
the use of FBS and its affiliates to its advisory clients, whether or not those clients were referred
to IMA as part of the WAS Program. Under an agreement with FPWA, IMA has agreed that it
will not charge clients more than the standard range of advisory fees disclosed in its Form ADV
2A Brochure to cover fees paid to FPWA as part of the WAS Program. Pursuant to these
arrangements, IMA has agreed not to solicit clients to transfer their brokerage accounts from
affiliates of FPWA or establish brokerage accounts at other custodians for referred clients other
than when IMA’s fiduciary duties would so require. However, participation in the WAS Program
does not limit IMA’s duty to select brokers on the basis of best execution.
In addition, IMA has a referral arrangement in place with Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC
under which IMA may pay a referral fee in accordance with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-1
under the Advisers Act and this Item 14.
Item 15 Custody
IMA’s Agreement and/or the separate agreement with any Financial Institution may authorize
IMA through such Financial Institution to debit the client’s account for the amount of IMA’s fee
and to directly remit that management fee to IMA in accordance with applicable custody rules.
The Financial Institutions, all of which are ‘‘qualified custodians’’ as defined in the Advisers
Act, have agreed to send a statement to the client, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts
disbursed from the account including the amount of management fees paid directly to IMA. In
addition, as discussed in the Review of Accounts section above, IMA also sends periodic
supplemental reports to clients. Clients should carefully review the statements sent directly by
the Financial Institutions and compare them to those received from IMA.
Item 16 Investment Discretion
Pursuant to investment management agreements, clients may retain IMA on a discretionary basis
to provide continuous investment advice which includes the authority to determine the type and
amount of securities or other assets to be purchased or sold, the broker-dealer to be used and the
commissions to be paid.
Typically, IMA will have full investment decision-making authority over the type of investments
and trading for a client’s account in a manner that is consistent with such client’s investment
objectives and guidelines including any agreed upon transition plan, and IMA can implement its
investment recommendations without obtaining client consent for each transaction. From time to
SMAADV2-FRM-1
41
time, a client may impose reasonable restrictions through written instructions, the investment
guidelines or the investment management agreement on certain investments from its account or
direct that IMA use or not use certain broker-dealers to execute transactions for its account.
IMA’s discretionary investment management services include transition of investment portfolios
to a client’s selected strategy. In the event a client’s pre-existing holdings include a security or
securities that IMA is not able to transition or manage; IMA will ask the client to remove the
security from the account or agree to designate it as unsupervised and not under IMA’s
discretion.
Item 17 Voting Client Securities
Invesco Ltd. and its wholly-owned investment adviser subsidiaries (collectively, “Invesco”) has
adopted a policy statement on global corporate governance and proxy voting (the “Invesco
Global Proxy Voting Policy” or “Policy”). The Policy, which Invesco believes describes policies
and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of its
clients, is intended to help Invesco’s clients understand its commitment to responsible investing
and proxy voting, as well as the good governance principles that inform Invesco’s approach to
engagement and voting at shareholder meetings.
The Policy sets forth the framework of Invesco’s corporate governance approach, broad
philosophy and guiding principles that inform the proxy voting practices of Invesco’s investment
teams around the world. Invesco’s good governance principles, governance structure and
processes are designed to ensure that proxy votes are cast in accordance with clients’ best
interests, including Invesco Funds and their shareholders.
Invesco views proxy voting as an integral part of its investment management responsibilities.
The proxy voting process at Invesco focuses on protecting clients’ rights and promoting
governance structures and practices that reinforce the accountability of corporate management
and boards of directors to shareholders. The voting decision lies with Invesco’s portfolio
managers and analysts with input and support from its Global ESG team. Invesco’s proprietary
proxy voting platform (“PROXYintel”) facilitates implementation of voting decisions and
rationales across global investment teams.
A copy of the Invesco Global Proxy Voting Policy is available on Invesco’s web site:
https://www.invesco.com/corporate/about-us/esg. Invesco makes available its proxy voting
records publicly in compliance with regulatory requirements and industry best practices in
accordance with the US Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, Invesco will file a
record of all proxy voting activity for the prior 12 months ending June 30th for each U.S.
registered fund. That filing is made on or before August 31st of each year and available on
Invesco’s web site: https://www.invesco.com/corporate/about-us/esg. Clients can obtain the
policy by calling Invesco’s Client Services department at 1-800-959- 4246.
SMAADV2-FRM-1
42
Applicability of Policy
Invesco may be granted by its clients the authority to vote the proxies of securities held in client
portfolios. Invesco’s investment teams vote proxies on behalf of Invesco-sponsored funds and
both fund and non-fund advisory clients that have explicitly granted Invesco authority in writing
to vote proxies on their behalf. In the case of institutional or sub-advised clients, Invesco will
vote the proxies in accordance with the Policy unless the client agreement specifies that the
client retains the right to vote or has designated a named fiduciary to direct voting.
In certain Wrap Programs, Invesco Managed Accounts, LLC will not be delegated the
responsibility to vote proxies held by the Wrap Program accounts and, instead, the Program
Sponsor or another service provider will generally vote such proxies. Clients in these Wrap
Programs should contact the Program Sponsor for a copy of the Program Sponsor’s proxy voting
policies.
Conflicts of Interest
There may be occasions where voting proxies may present a perceived or actual conflict of
interest between Invesco, as investment manager, a Program Sponsor, and one or more of
Invesco’s clients or vendors.
Invesco’s Good Governance Principles
Invesco’s good governance principles outline its views on best practice in corporate governance
and long-term investment stewardship. These principles have been developed by Invesco’s global
investment teams in collaboration with the Global ESG team. The broad philosophy and guiding
principles in this section inform Invesco’s approach to long-term investment stewardship and
proxy voting. The principles and positions reflected in the Policy are designed to guide Invesco’s
investment professionals in voting proxies, they are not intended to be exhaustive or prescriptive.
Invesco’s portfolio managers and analysts retain full discretion on vote execution in the context of
our good governance principles and internally developed custom voting guidelines, except where
otherwise specified in the Policy. The final voting decisions may consider the unique
circumstances affecting companies, regional best practices and any dialogue we have had with
company management. As a result, different portfolio management teams may vote differently on
particular votes for the same company. To the extent a portfolio manager chooses to vote a proxy
in a way that is not aligned with the good governance principles, such manager’s rationales are
fully documented.
The principles apply to operating companies. Invesco applies a separate approach to open-end and
closed-end investment companies and unit investment trusts. Where appropriate, these guidelines
are supplemented by additional internal guidance that considers regional variations in best
practices, disclosure and region-specific voting items. Invesco may vote on proposals not
specifically addressed by these principles based on an evaluation of a proposal’s likelihood to
enhance long-term shareholder value.
Invesco’s good governance principles may be reviewed in Invesco’s Global Proxy Voting Policy,
a copy of which is available on Invesco’s web site: https://www.invesco.com/corporate/about-
us/esg.
