Statutory Prospectus Supplement dated February 14, 2014

The purpose of this mailing is to provide you with changes to the current Statutory Prospectus for Class A, B, C, R, Y and Investor Class shares of the Fund listed below:

Invesco U.S. Government Fund

The following information replaces in its entirety the information appearing in the third and fourth paragraphs under the heading “ Fund Summary – Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund ” in the prospectus:

“The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that the Fund may buy or sell a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The Fund may also engage in “to be announced” (TBA) transactions, which are transactions in which a fund buys or sells mortgage-backed securities on a forward commitment basis. The Fund may engage in short sales of TBA mortgages, including short sales on TBA mortgages the Fund does not own.

The Fund can invest in derivative instruments including swap contracts, options and futures contracts.”

The following information is added as the fifth and sixth paragraphs appearing under the heading “ Fund Summary - Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund ” in the prospectus:

“The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge or adjust its exposure to interest rates.

The Fund can use options, including swaptions (options on swaps), to manage interest rate risk.”

The following information replaces in its entirety the risk appearing under the heading “ Fund Summary – Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund TBA Transactions Risk ” in the prospectus:

“TBA Transactions Risk . TBA transactions involve the risk that the securities received may be less favorable than what was anticipated by the Fund when entering into the TBA transaction. TBA transactions also involve the risk that a counterparty will fail to deliver the securities, exposing the Fund to further losses. Whether or not the Fund takes delivery of the securities at the termination date of a TBA transaction, the Fund will nonetheless be exposed to changes in the value of the underlying investments during the term of the agreement. When the Fund enters into a short sale of a TBA mortgage it does not own, the Fund may have to purchase deliverable mortgages to settle the short sale at a higher price than anticipated, thereby causing a loss. A short position in a TBA mortgage poses more risk than holding the same TBA mortgage long. As there is no limit on how much the price of mortgage securities can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited. The Fund may not always be able to purchase mortgage securities to close out the short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price. A Fund will earmark or segregate liquid assets in an amount at least equal to its exposure for the duration of the contract. The Fund will incur increased transaction costs associated with selling TBA mortgages short. In addition, taking short positions in TBA mortgages results in a form of leverage which could increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price.”

The following information replaces in its entirety the information appearing in the fourth and fifth paragraphs under the heading “ Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings – Objective(s) and Strategies ” in the prospectus:

“The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that the Fund may buy or sell a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The payment obligation and the interest rate are fixed at the time the Fund enters into the commitment. No income accrues on such securities until the date the Fund actually takes delivery of the securities. The Fund may also engage in “to be announced” (TBA) transactions, which are transactions in which a fund buys or sells mortgage-backed securities on a forward commitment basis. A TBA transaction typically does not designate the actual security to be delivered and only includes an approximate principal amount at the time the TBA is entered into. The Fund may also engage in short sales of TBA mortgages, including short sales of TBA mortgages the Fund does not own. Generally, the Fund will sell a TBA mortgage short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in mortgage valuations or (2) to hedge against the potential underperformance of the mortgage sector.

The Fund can invest in derivative instruments including swap contracts, options and futures contracts.”

The following information is added as the sixth and seventh paragraphs appearing under the heading “ Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings – Objective(s) and Strategies ” in the prospectus:

“A swap contract is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, commodities, currencies or other assets. The notional amount of a swap is based on the

nominal or face amount of a reference asset that is used to calculate payments made on that swap; the notional amount typically is not exchanged between counterparties. The parties to the swap use variations in the value of the underlying asset to calculate payments between them through the life of the swap. The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge or adjust its exposure to interest rates.

An option is a derivative financial instrument that reflects a contract between two parties for a future transaction on an asset at a reference price. The buyer of the option gains the right, but not the obligation, to engage in that transaction, while the seller incurs the corresponding obligation to fulfill the transaction. The price of an option derives from the difference between the reference price and the value of the underlying asset (commonly a stock, a bond, a currency or a futures contract) plus a premium based on the time remaining until the expiration of the option. Other types of options exist, and options can in principle be created for any type of valuable asset. The Fund can use options, including swaptions (options on swaps), to manage interest rate risk.”

The following information replaces in its entirety the risk appearing under the heading “ Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings – Risks TBA Transactions Risk ” in the prospectus:

“TBA Transactions Risk . TBA transactions involve the risk that the securities received may be less favorable than what was anticipated by the Fund when entering into the TBA transaction. TBA transactions also involve the risk that a counterparty will fail to deliver the securities, exposing the Fund to further losses. Whether or not the Fund takes delivery of the securities at the termination date of a TBA transaction, the Fund will nonetheless be exposed to changes in the value of the underlying investments during the term of the agreement.

long. It is possible that the market value of the mortgage securities the Fund holds in long positions will decline at the same time that the market value of the mortgage securities the Fund has sold short increases, thereby increasing the Fund’s potential volatility. The loss on a long position is limited to what the Fund originally paid for the TBA mortgage, together with any transaction costs. In short transactions, there is no limit on how much the price of a security can increase, thus the Fund’s exposure is theoretically unlimited. The Fund normally closes a short sale of TBA mortgages that it does not own by purchasing mortgage securities on the open market and delivering them to the broker. The Fund may not always be able to complete or “close out” the short position by purchasing mortgage securities at a particular time or at an acceptable price. The Fund incurs a loss if the Fund is required to buy the deliverable mortgage securities at a time when they have appreciated in value from the date of the short sale. A Fund will earmark or segregate liquid assets in an amount at least equal to its exposure for the duration of the contract. The Fund will incur increased transaction costs associated with selling TBA mortgages short. In addition, taking short positions in TBA mortgages results in a form of leverage. Leverage involves special risks discussed under “Derivatives Risk-Leverage Risk.”

Statement of Additional Information Supplement dated February 14, 2014

The purpose of this supplement is to provide you with changes to the current Statement of Additional Information for Class A, A2, AX, BX, B, C, CX, R, Y, R5, R6, Invesco Cash Reserve shares and Investor Class shares, as applicable, of the Funds listed below:

 

Invesco Global Real Estate Fund   Invesco Real Estate Fund
Invesco High Yield Fund   Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund   Invesco U.S. Government Fund
Invesco Money Market Fund  

The following information replaces in its entirety the information appearing under the heading “DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDS AND THEIR INVESTMENTS AND RISKS – Investment Strategies and Risks – Investment Techniques ” – “Forward Commitments, When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities.” and “Short Sales.”

“Forward Commitments, When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities. Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed-delivery basis.

Forward commitments, when-issued or delayed-delivery basis involve delivery and payment that take place in the future after the date of the commitment to purchase or sell the securities at a pre-determined price and/or yield. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered. Forward commitments also include “To Be Announced” (TBA) mortgage-backed securities, which are contracts for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities to be delivered at a future agreed upon date, whereby the specific mortgage pool numbers or the number of pools that will be delivered to fulfill the trade obligation or terms of the contract are unknown at the time of the trade. Invesco U.S. Government Fund may engage in short sales of TBA mortgages, including short sales on TBA mortgages the Fund does not own. If a Fund sells short TBA mortgages that it does not own and the mortgages increase in value, the Fund may be required to pay a higher price than anticipated to purchase the deliverable mortgages to settle the short sale and thereby incur a loss. In short transactions, there is no limit on how much the price of a security can increase, thus the Fund’s exposure is theoretically unlimited. The Fund normally closes a short sale of TBA mortgages that it does not own by purchasing mortgage securities on the open market and delivering them to the broker. The Fund may not always be able to complete or “close out” the short position by purchasing mortgage securities at a particular time or at an acceptable price. The Fund incurs a loss if the Fund is required to buy the deliverable mortgage securities at a time when they have appreciated in value from the date of the short sale. The Fund will earmark or segregate liquid assets in an amount at least equal to its exposure for the duration of the contract.

A Fund may also enter into buy/sell back transactions (a form of delayed delivery agreement). In a buy/sell back transaction, a Fund enters a trade to sell securities at one price and simultaneously enters a trade to buy the same securities at another price for settlement at a future date. Although a Fund generally intends to acquire or dispose of securities on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis, a Fund may sell these securities or its commitment before the settlement date if deemed advisable.

When purchasing a security on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, a Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuation, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. Securities purchased on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are subject to changes in value based upon the public’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and changes, real or anticipated, in the level of interest rates. Accordingly, securities acquired on such a basis may expose a Fund to risks because they may experience such fluctuations prior to actual delivery. Purchasing securities on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis may involve the additional risk that the yield available in the market when the delivery takes place actually may be higher than that obtained in the transaction itself.

Investment in these types of securities may increase the possibility that the Fund will incur short-term gains subject to federal taxation or short-term losses if the Fund must engage in portfolio transactions in order to honor its commitment. Until the settlement date, a Fund will segregate liquid assets of a dollar value sufficient at all times to make payment for the forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. Such segregated liquid assets will be marked-to-market daily, and the amount segregated will be increased if necessary to maintain adequate coverage of the delayed delivery commitments. No additional forward, when-issued or delayed delivery commitments will be made by a Fund if, as a result, more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets would become so committed. The delayed delivery securities, which will not begin to accrue interest or dividends until the settlement date, will be recorded as an asset of a Fund and will be subject to the risk of market fluctuation. The purchase price of the delayed delivery securities is a liability of a Fund until settlement.

Short Sales. The Funds may engage in short sales of securities that the Fund owns or has the right to obtain (“short sales against the box”). Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund may also engage in short sales of securities that the Fund does not own. In addition, Invesco U.S. Government Fund may engage in short sales of TBA mortgages that the Fund does not own. Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund will not sell a security short that it does not own if, as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of such securities sold short exceeds 10% of the Fund’s total assets.

A short sale involves the sale of a security which a Fund does not own in the hope of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. To make delivery to the buyer, a Fund must borrow the security from a broker. The Fund normally closes a short sale by purchasing an equivalent number of shares of the borrowed security on the open market and delivering them to the broker. A short sale is typically affected when the Adviser believes that the price of a particular security will decline. Open short positions using futures or forward foreign currency contracts are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

To secure its obligation to deliver the securities sold short to the broker, a Fund will be required to deposit cash or liquid securities with the broker. In addition, the Fund may have to pay a premium to borrow the securities, and while the loan of the security sold short is outstanding, the Fund is required to pay to the broker the amount of any dividends paid on shares sold short. In addition to maintaining collateral with the broker, a Fund will earmark or segregate an amount of cash or liquid securities equal to the difference, if any, between the current market value of the securities sold short and any cash or liquid securities deposited as collateral with the broker-dealer in connection with the short sale. The collateral will be marked to market daily. The amounts deposited with the broker or segregated with the custodian do not have the effect of limiting the amount of money that the Fund may lose on a short sale. Short sale transactions covered in this manner are not considered senior securities and are not subject to the Fund’s fundamental investment limitations on senior securities and borrowings.

Short positions create a risk that a Fund will be required to cover them by buying the security at a time when the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. Because a short position loses value as the security’s price increases, the loss on a short sale is theoretically unlimited. The loss on a long position is limited to what the Fund originally paid for the security together with any transaction costs. The Fund may not always be able to borrow a security the Fund seeks to sell short at a particular time or at an acceptable price. It is possible that the market value of the securities the Fund holds in long positions will decline at the same time that the market value of the securities the Fund has sold short increases, thereby increasing the Fund’s potential volatility. Because the Fund may be required to pay dividends, interest, premiums and other expenses in connection with a short sale, any benefit for the Fund resulting from the short sale will be decreased, and the amount of any ultimate gain or loss will be decreased or increased, respectively, by the amount of such expenses.

The Funds may enter into short sales against the box. Short sales against the box are short sales of securities that a Fund owns or has the right to obtain (equivalent in kind or amount to the securities sold short). If a Fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to earmark or segregate securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding. The Fund will incur transaction costs including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.

Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund are permitted and intend from time to time to effect short sales that are not “against the box.” In a short sale that is not “against the box,” Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund do not own the security borrowed. To secure its obligation to deliver to such broker-dealer the securities sold short, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund must segregate an amount of cash or liquid securities equal to the difference between the current market value of the securities sold short and any cash or liquid securities deposited as collateral with the broker in connection with the short sale (including the proceeds of the short sale). The amounts deposited with the broker or segregated with the custodian do not have the effect of limiting the amount of money that the Funds may lose on a short sale. In a short sale that is not “against the box,” Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund will normally close out a short position by purchasing on the open market and delivering to the broker-dealer an equal amount of the securities sold short.

Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund will realize a gain if the price of a security declines between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. On the other hand, the Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between those dates. The amount of any gain will be decreased and the amount of any loss increased by any premium or interest that the Fund may be required to pay in connection with a short sale. It should be noted that possible losses from short sales that are not “against the box” differ from those that could arise from a cash investment in a security in that losses from short sales that are not “against the box” may be limitless, while the losses from a cash investment in a security cannot exceed the total amount of the Fund’s investment in the security. For example, if the Fund purchases a $10 security, potential loss is limited to $10; however, if the Fund sells a $10 security short, it may have to purchase the security for return to the broker-dealer when the market value of that security is $50, thereby incurring a loss of $40.

Short sales against the box result in a “constructive sale” and require a Fund to recognize any taxable gain unless an exception to the constructive sale applies. See “Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters — Tax Matters- Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions — Options, futures, forward contracts, swap agreements and hedging transactions.”
