- During the fourth quarter, US equity markets were volatile as investors worried about
geopolitical issues, global economic growth and falling oil prices. However, the broad market,
as represented by the S&P 500 Index, still managed to post a gain for the fourth quarter, as
did small capitalization indexes. Within the Russell 2000 Value Index, sector performance was
mixed, with utilities and health care performing the best and energy performing the worst
during the quarter.
Performance highlights
- The fund’s Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) posted a gain, but underperformed the
Russell 2000 Value Index. (Please see the investment results table on page 2 for fund and
index performance.) Performance drivers were mainly stock specific. Select holdings in the
financials, consumer staples and information technology (IT) sectors were among the largest
contributors to fund performance. Select investments in energy, consumer discretionary and
industrials were among the largest individual detractors.
Contributors to performance
- Property & casualty insurance company AmTrust Financial Services Inc. performed well in the
fourth quarter after reporting strong financial results for the third quarter of 2014.
- Shares of beauty products company Elizabeth Arden Inc. rose after the company reported
results for its first quarter of fiscal 2015 that were better than consensus expectations.
Management also reiterated fiscal year 2015 guidance. After a series of disappointing results
in fiscal year 2014, the stock rallied due to signs of business stabilization.
Detractors from performance
- Oil and gas exploration company Goodrich Petroleum Corp. and oil & gas equipment and
services company McDermott International Inc. declined during the fourth quarter along with
the overall energy sector.
- Shares of apparel company Abercrombie & Fitch Co. fell after management reported fiscal
third-quarter profit and a full-year outlook that were below expectations.
Positioning and outlook
- We use an intrinsic value approach to select investments for the fund. We seek to create
wealth by maintaining a long-term investment horizon and investing in companies that we
believe are significantly undervalued on an absolute basis.
- During the quarter, we sold several holdings based on valuation and other factors. We also
initiated new positions in stocks where we see better upside potential based on our estimate
of intrinsic values.
- We believe the fund is well diversified and positioned to benefit from areas where we see the
best valuation opportunities, based on our bottom-up stock selection approach.
- Going forward, we will work hard to protect and grow the fund’s estimated intrinsic value. We
thank you for your investment and for sharing our long-term perspective.

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results;
current performance may be lower or higher. Visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent
month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net
asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary, and you may have a gain or a
loss when you sell shares. Index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. No
contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) will be imposed on redemptions of Class C shares
following one year from the date shares were purchased. Performance shown at NAV does not
include applicable CDSC or front-end sales charges, which would have reduced the performance.
Class Y shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV. Returns less than one
year are cumulative; all others are annualized.

About risk
Derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than
traditional investments and are subject to market,
interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and
management risks. An investment in a derivative could
lose more than the cash amount invested.
An investment in developing/emerging market
countries carries greater risks compared to more
developed economies.
The risks of investing in securities of foreign
issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies,
political and economic instability, and foreign taxation
issues.
Stocks of small and mid-sized companies tend to be
more vulnerable to adverse developments, may be
more volatile, and may be illiquid or restricted as to
resale.
A value style of investing is subject to the risk that
the valuations never improve or that the returns will
trail other styles of investing or the overall stock
markets.
The fund is subject to certain other risks. Please see
the current prospectus for more information regarding
the risks associated with an investment in the fund.
