Dear Shareholders:
This annual report provides important information about your Trust,
including its performance. I encourage you to read this report to learn more about how your Trust is managed,
what it invests in and why it performed as it did. Also, this report
includes information about your Trusts management team and a listing of investments held by your Trust at the close of the reporting period.
Investors are likely to confront both
opportunities and challenges in 2012. As we saw in 2011, market sentiment can change suddenly and dramatically and
certainly without advance notice depending on economic developments and world
events. Similarly, your own situation, needs and goals can change, requiring adjustments in your financial strategy.
For current information about your Trust
Many investors find that staying abreast of market trends and developments may provide reassurance in times of economic uncertainty and market volatility such as we saw last year and may see again this year.
Invesco can help you stay informed about your investments and market trends. On our website, invesco.com/us, we provide timely market updates and commentary from many of our portfolio managers and other investment professionals. Also on our website, you can obtain information about your account at any hour of the day or night. I invite you to visit and explore the tools and information we offer at invesco.com/us.
Our commitment to investment excellence
Many investors believe that its wise to be well diversified and to maintain
a long-term investment focus. While diversification can't guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it may cushion the
impact of dramatic market moves. Maintaining a long-term investment focus for your long-term goals financing your retirement or your children's education, for example may help you avoid making rash investment decisions based on short-term market swings.
Likewise, Invescos investment professionals
maintain a long-term focus. Each Invesco fund is managed by a specialized team of investment professionals, and as a company,
we maintain a single focus investment management that allows our portfolio managers to concentrate on doing what they do best: managing your money.
Each Invesco fund is managed according to its
stated investment objectives and strategies, with robust risk oversight using consistent, repeatable investment processes
that dont change in response to short-term market events. This disciplined approach cant guarantee a
profit; no investment can do that, since all involve some measure of risk. But it can ensure that your money is
managed the way we said it would be according to your Trusts objective and strategies.
Questions?
If you have questions about your account, please contact one of our client service representatives at 800 341 2929. If you have a general Invesco-related question or comment for me, I invite you to email me directly at phil@invesco.com.
All of us at Invesco look forward to serving your investment management needs for many years to come. Thank you for investing with us.
Sincerely,
Philip Taylor
Senior Managing Director, Invesco Ltd.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
As always, the Invesco Funds Board of Trustees remains committed to
putting your interests first. We worked to manage costs throughout the year, and this remains a continuing focus of your Board. We will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we've always maintained.
Throughout 2011, we experienced volatile, challenging markets that presented both significant opportunities and risks for investors.
Early in the year, protests in
the Middle East and Africa led to increases in oil and gas prices. This was followed by the disasters in Japan that led to
supply chain disruptions across a number of industries. In Europe, sovereign debt concerns created uncertainty in global
markets that remains unresolved. Here in the US, prolonged congressional debates over deficits and the debt ceiling
resulted in the first-ever downgrade of US long-term debt. Combined,
this imperfect storm of events took a tremendous toll
on global economic growth and created volatility in the markets.
Across the globe, demographic and economic trends are profoundly reshaping the world's wealth. Emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil and Russia are experiencing tremendous growth. China is now the world's second-largest economy. Meanwhile, established markets such as the US and Europe are struggling with debt issues and experiencing much lower rates of growth. We all know the US is a consumer-driven market and consumers continue to face numerous headwinds, including elevated energy prices, a dismal housing market and high unemployment.
This dynamic, challenging market and economic environment underscores once again the value of maintaining a well-diversified investment portfolio. Obviously, none of us can control the markets or global economic trends. However, adopting a disciplined approach to saving and investing may help provide the funds needed to buy a house, pay for our children's education and provide for a comfortable retirement.
Based on everything I've read, this year could potentially be just as interesting as 2011, with continued uncertainty in key economies around the world and volatility in the markets. With this in mind, you'll want to stay informed regarding the markets and keep up to date with news that affects your investment portfolio. Invesco's website, invesco.com/us, provides a wealth of information about your investments and news regarding global markets.
I would like to close by thanking Bob Baker for his distinguished 30-year service with the Invesco Funds Board and his unflagging commitment to our funds' shareholders. As always, I encourage you to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving you in 2012.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Discussion of Trust Performance
Performance summary
This is the annual report of Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012. The Trusts return can be calculated based on either the market price or the net asset value (NAV) of its shares. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Trusts portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities and preferred shares, by the total number of
common shares outstanding. Market price reflects the supply and demand for Trust shares.
As a result, the two returns can differ, as they did during the reporting period. A main contributor to the Trusts return on an
NAV basis was its exposure to hospital bonds.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return, net asset value and common share market price will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Please visit invesco.com/us for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect Trust
expenses, the reinvestment of distributions (if any) and changes in net asset value (NAV) for performance based on NAV and changes in market price for performance based on market price.
Since the Trust
is a closed-end management investment company, shares of the Trust may
trade at a discount or premium from the NAV. This characteristic is separate
and distinct from the risk that NAV could decrease as a result of investment
activities and may be a greater risk to investors expecting to sell their shares
after a short time. The Trust cannot predict whether shares will trade at, above
or below NAV. The Trust should not be viewed as a vehicle for trading purposes. It is designed primarily for risk-tolerant long-term investors.
How we invest
We seek to provide investors with current income that is exempt from federal income tax, primarily by investing in a diversified portfolio of investment grade tax-exempt municipal securities.
We seek to achieve the Trusts investment objective by investing primarily in municipal securities that are rated investment grade by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Municipal securities include municipal bonds, municipal notes and municipal commercial paper. The Trust may invest in taxable investment grade securities, or if not rated,
securities we determine to be of comparable quality. From time to time, we may invest in municipal
securities that pay interest that is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
We employ a bottom-up, research-driven approach to identify securities that have attractive risk/reward characteristics for the sectors in which we invest. We also integrate macroeconomic analysis and forecasting into our evaluation and ranking of various sectors and individual securities. Finally, we employ leverage in an effort to enhance the Trusts income and total return.
Sell decisions are based on:
n |
|
A deterioration or likely deterioration of an individual issuers capacity to meet its debt obligations on a timely basis. |
|
n |
|
A deterioration or likely deterioration of the broader fundamentals of a particular industry or sector. |
|
n |
|
Opportunities in the secondary or primary market to exchange into a security with better relative value. |
Market conditions and your Trust
For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, the municipal market performed strongly. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 12.42%, outperforming other fixed income indexes such as the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, which returned 8.37%; the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, which returned 6.94%; the Barclays U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index, which returned 10.37%; and the Barclays U.S. Mortgage
Backed Securities Index, which returned 6.44%.1
During 2011, credit fundamentals remained strong, and default rates continued their downward trend. In line with the drop exhibited from 2009 to 2010, the number of defaults in 2011 was muted and lower than 2010. Despite a few high profile bankruptcies such as Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Jefferson County, Alabama, and Central Falls, Rhode Island, defaults came nowhere near
the hundreds of billions of dollars predicted by well-known analyst Meredith Whitney at the end of 2010.2
In terms of municipal fund flows, Whitneys prediction raised concerns regarding the credit stability of municipalities and the heightened risk of unprecedented defaults in 2011. Retail investors, who already had been making withdrawals from municipal bond mutual funds, heeded Whitneys warning and began to sell shares at a record pace.3 Money was withdrawn from municipal mutual funds for
29 straight weeks3, but by the end of the third quarter of 2011, the tide had changed. This increase in demand in the third quarter had a positive effect on municipal market performance during the reporting period.
The Trusts exposure to the 15- to 20-year part of the yield curve and the long end (20+ years) of the yield curve added to Trust returns as yields approached all-time lows3 during
the reporting period. Some of our yield curve and duration positioning was obtained through the use of inverse floating rate

securities. Inverse floating rate securities are instruments which have an inverse relationship to a referenced interest rate. Inverse floating rate securities can be a more efficient way to manage duration, yield curve exposure and credit exposure. Also, they potentially can enhance yield.
Strong security selection among highly rated bonds also added to the Trusts performance for the reporting period.
At the sector level, our
exposure to hospital, special tax, industrial development and pollution control bonds contributed to returns for the
reporting period. Our allocation to state government obligation bonds detracted from returns.
One important factor impacting the return of the Trust relative to its comparative index was the Trusts use of structural leverage. The Trust uses leverage because we believe that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total return for common shareholders. However, use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional volatility.
For example, if the prices of securities held by a trust decline, the negative impact of these valuation changes on
common share net asset value and common shareholder total return is magnified by the use of leverage. Conversely,
leverage may enhance common share returns during periods when the prices of securities held by a trust generally are rising.
Leverage made a positive contribution to the performance of the Trust during the reporting period.
During the reporting period, the Trust achieved a leveraged position through the use of tender option bonds and auction rate preferred shares. As of the close of the reporting period, leverage accounted for 37% of the Trusts total assets. For more
information about the Trusts use of leverage, see the Notes to Financial Statements later in this report.
As stated earlier, the Trust trades at a market price and also has an NAV. The Trusts market price fluctuated between trading at a discount and trading at a premium to NAV during the reporting period.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The dividend reinvestment plan (the Plan) offers you a prompt and simple way to
reinvest your dividends and capital gains distributions (Distributions) into additional shares of your Trust. Under the Plan, the money you earn from dividends and capital gains distributions will be reinvested automatically in
more shares of your Trust, allowing you to potentially increase your investment over time.
Plan benefits
n |
|
Add to your account: You may increase the amount of shares in your Trust easily and automatically with the Plan. |
|
n |
|
Low transaction costs: Transaction costs are low because the new shares are bought in blocks and the brokerage commission is shared among all participants. |
|
n |
|
Convenience: You will receive a detailed account statement from Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the Agent) which administers the Plan. The statement shows your total Distributions, date of investment, shares acquired, and price per share, as well as the total number of shares in your reinvestment account.
You can also access your account via the Internet. To do this, please go to invesco.com/us. |
|
n |
|
Safekeeping: The Agent will hold the shares it has acquired for you in safekeeping. |
How to participate in the Plan
If you own shares in your
own name, you can participate directly in the Plan. If your shares
are held in street name in the name of your brokerage firm, bank, or other financial institution you must instruct that entity to participate on your behalf. If they are unable to participate on your behalf, you may request
that they reregister your shares in your own name so that you may enroll in the Plan.
How to enroll
To enroll in the Plan, please read the Terms and Conditions in the Plan brochure.
You can enroll in the Plan by visiting invesco.com/us, calling toll-free 800 341 2929 or notifying us in writing at Invesco
Closed-End Funds, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078. Please include your Trust
name and account number and
ensure that all shareholders listed on the account sign these written instructions. Your participation in the Plan
will begin with the next Distribution payable after the Agent receives your authorization, as long as they receive it
before the record date, which is generally one week before such Distributions are paid. If your authorization arrives
after such record date, your participation in the Plan will begin with the following Distributions.
How the Plan Works
If you choose to participate in the Plan, whenever your Trust declares such Distributions, it will
be invested in additional shares of your Trust that are purchased on the open market.
Costs of the Plan
There is no direct charge to you for reinvesting Distributions because
the Plans fees are paid by your Trust. However, you will pay your portion of any per share fees incurred when the new
shares are purchased on the open market. These fees are typically less than the standard brokerage charges for individual
transactions, because shares are purchased for all Participants in blocks,
resulting in lower commissions for each individual Participant. Any per share or service fees are averaged into the purchase
price. Per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Agent is required to pay.
Tax implications
The automatic reinvestment of Distributions does not relieve you of any income tax that may be due on Distributions. You will receive tax information annually to help you prepare your federal income tax return.
Invesco does not offer tax advice. The
tax information contained herein is general and is not exhaustive by nature. It was not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used, by any taxpayer for avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer under U.S. federal tax laws. Federal and state tax laws are complex and constantly changing. Shareholders should always consult
a legal or tax adviser for information concerning their individual
situation.
How to withdraw from the Plan
You may withdraw from the Plan at any time by calling 800 341 2929, visiting invesco.com/us or by writing to Invesco Closed-End Funds, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078. Simply indicate that you would like to withdraw from the Plan, and be sure to include your Trust name and account number. Also, ensure that all shareholders listed on the account have
signed these written instructions. If you withdraw, you have three options with regard to the shares held in the Plan:
|
1. |
|
If you opt to continue to hold your non-certificated shares, whole shares will be held by the Agent and fractional shares will be sold. The proceeds will be sent via check to your address of record after deducting per share fees. Per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Agent is required to pay. |
|
2. |
|
If you opt to sell your shares through the Agent, we will sell all full and fractional shares and send the proceeds via check to your address of record after deducting per share fees. Per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Agent is required to pay. |
|
3. |
|
You may sell your shares through your financial adviser through the Direct Registration System (DRS). DRS is a service within the securities industry that allows Trust shares to be held in your name in electronic format. You retain full ownership of your shares, without having to hold a stock certificate. You should contact your financial adviser to learn more about any restrictions or fees that may apply. |

|
(b) |
|
Underlying security related to
Dealer Trusts entered into by the Trust. See Note 1J.
|
(c) |
|

the issuer or mandatory put by the holder. Maturity date
reflects such call or put.
|
(d) |
|

escrow fund of U.S. Government obligations or other highly
rated collateral.
|
(e) |
|
Interest or dividend rate is
redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on
February 29, 2012.
|
(f) |

(i) |
|
Principal and interest payments are
fully enhanced by a letter of credit from the bank listed or a

|
(j) |
|
Security is subject to a shortfall
agreement which may require the Trust to pay amounts to a
counterparty in the event of a significant decline in the market
value of the security underlying the Dealer Trusts. In case of a
shortfall, the maximum potential amount of payments the Fund
could ultimately be required to make under the agreement is
$7,335,000. However, such shortfall payment would be reduced by
the proceeds from the sale of the security underlying the Dealer
Trusts.
|
(k) |
|
Security purchased or received in a
transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The security may be resold pursuant to an
exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to
qualified institutional buyers. The value of this security at
February 29, 2012 represented 0.36% of the Funds Net
Assets.
|
(l) |

those entities that have either issued, guaranteed, backed or
otherwise enhanced the credit quality of more than 5% of the
securities held in the portfolio. In instances where the entity
has guaranteed, backed or otherwise enhanced the credit quality
of a security, it is not primarily responsible for the
issuers obligations but may be called upon to satisfy the
issuers obligations.

Notes
to Financial Statements
February 29,
2012
NOTE 1Significant
Accounting Policies
Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust (the Trust),
a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940
Act), as a diversified, closed-end series management
investment company.
The Trusts investment objective is to provide
current income which is exempt from federal income tax.
The following is a summary of the significant
accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of
its financial statements.
|
|
|
A. |
|
Security
Valuations Securities, including
restricted securities, are valued according to the following
policy. |
|
|
Securities are fair valued using an
evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service
approved by the Board of Trustees. Evaluated quotes provided by
the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance
on quoted prices and may reflect appropriate factors such as
institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield,
quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual
trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a
demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued
at par. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit
risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of
default with respect to interest and principal payments. |
|
|
Securities for which market quotations
either are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by or under the
supervision of the Trusts officers following procedures
approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may
be considered in determining fair value are fundamental
analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and
duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition;
trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable
companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news;
and other relevant factors under the circumstances. |
|
|
Valuations change in response to many
factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the
issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic
conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market
liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation,
the values reflected in the financial statements may materially
differ from the value received upon actual sale of those
investments. |
20 Invesco
Quality Municipal Income Trust
|
|
|
B. |
|
Securities
Transactions and Investment Income
Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of
specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend
income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized
and/or
accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
|
|
The Trust may periodically participate
in litigation related to Trust investments. As such, the Trust
may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds
received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized
gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized
gain (loss) for investments still held. |
|
|
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are
considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to
the cost basis of securities purchased
and/or a
reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction
costs are included in the determination of net realized and
unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in
the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net
Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on
securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction
costs are included in the calculation of the Trusts net
asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Trusts total
returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating
expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported
in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net
Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of
expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial
Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation
arrangements between the Trust and the investment adviser. |
C. |
|
Country
Determination For the purposes of making
investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule
of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country
in which an issuer is located
and/or
credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors
include the laws of the country under which the issuer is
organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the
country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total
revenues and the country that has the primary market for the
issuers securities, as well as other criteria. Among the
other criteria that may be evaluated for making this
determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50%
or more of its assets, the type of security, financial
guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and
the sponsor organization. Country of issuer
and/or
credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States
of America, unless otherwise noted. |

Distributions
The Trust declares and pays monthly dividends from net
investment income to common shareholders. Distributions from net
realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and
are distributed on a pro rata basis to common and preferred
shareholders. The Trust may elect to treat a portion of the
proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income
tax purposes. |
E. |
|
Federal Income
Taxes The Trust intends to comply with
the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and
to distribute substantially all of the Trusts taxable
earnings to shareholders. As such, the Trust will not be subject
to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including
net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders.
Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in
the financial statements. |
|
|
In addition, the Trust intends to invest
in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay
shareholders exempt dividends, as defined in the
Internal Revenue Code. |
|
|
The Trust files tax returns in the
U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions.
Generally, the Trust is subject to examinations by such taxing
authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return
for the tax period. |
F. |
|
Interest,
Facilities and Maintenance Fees Interest,
Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related
borrowing costs such as commitment fees and other expenses
associated with lines of credit and interest and administrative
expenses related to establishing and maintaining Auction Rate
Preferred Shares and floating rate note obligations, if any. |
G. |
|
Accounting
Estimates The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period including
estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results
could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In
addition, the Trust monitors for material events or transactions
that may occur or become known after the period-end date and
before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. |
|
Indemnifications
Under the Trusts organizational documents, each Trustee,
officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified
against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of
their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of
business, the Trust enters into contracts, including the
Trusts servicing agreements that contain a variety of
indemnification clauses. The Trusts maximum exposure under
these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future
claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet
occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such
indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. |
|
Cash and Cash
Equivalents For the purposes of the
Statement of Cash Flows the Trust defines Cash and Cash
Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market
funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes
investments made with cash collateral received. |
J. |
|
Floating Rate
Note Obligations The Trust invests
in inverse floating rate securities, such as Residual Interest
Bonds (RIBs) or Tender Option Bonds
(TOBs) for investment purposes and to enhance the
yield of the Trust. Inverse floating rate investments tend to
underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising
interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for
fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain
relatively stable. Such transactions may be purchased in the
secondary market without first owning the underlying bond or by
the sale of fixed rate bonds by the Trust to special purpose
trusts established by a broker dealer (Dealer
Trusts) in exchange for cash and residual interests in the
Dealer Trusts assets and cash flows, which are in the form
of inverse floating rate securities. The Dealer Trusts finance
the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate
notes to third parties and allowing the Trust to retain residual
interest in the bonds. The floating rate notes issued by the
Dealer Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the
floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes
to the Dealer Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date.
The residual interests held by the Trust (inverse floating rate
investments) include the right of the Trust (1) to cause
the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at
par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to
transfer the municipal bond from the Dealer Trusts to the Trust,
thereby collapsing the Dealer Trusts. |
21 Invesco
Quality Municipal Income Trust
|
|
|
|
|
TOBs are presently classified as private
placement securities. Private placement securities are subject
to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or are otherwise
not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public
trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid
than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may
be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices
realized from these sales could be less than those originally
paid by the Trust or less than what may be considered the fair
value of such securities. |
|
|
The Trust accounts for the transfer of
bonds to the Dealer Trusts as secured borrowings, with the
securities transferred remaining in the Trusts investment
assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Trust
liabilities under the caption Floating rate note
obligations on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
Trust records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds
under the caption Interest and records the expenses
related to floating rate obligations and any administrative
expenses of the Dealer Trusts as a component of Interest,
facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of
Operations. |
|
|
The Trust generally invests in inverse
floating rate securities that include embedded leverage, thus
exposing the Trust to greater risks and increased costs. The
primary risks associated with inverse floating rate securities
are varying degrees of liquidity and the changes in the value of
such securities in response to changes in market rates of
interest to a greater extent than the value of an equal
principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit
quality, redemption provisions and maturity which may cause the
Trusts net asset value to be more volatile than if it had
not invested in inverse floating rate securities. In certain
instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the
special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third
parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such
interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be
remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose
trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed.
In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of
long-term fixed income bonds by the Trust, the Trust will then
be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered
securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or
uncertainty, the Trust could be required to sell other portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that
obligation. |
K. |
|
Other
Risks The value of, payment of interest
on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a
municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments,
legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative
regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions
in which the issuers are located. |
|
|
Since, many municipal securities are
issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to
education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions
in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities
market and a Trusts investments in municipal securities. |
|
|
There is some risk that a portion or all
of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal
securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by
the Internal Revenue Service. |
NOTE 2Advisory
Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory
agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser
or Invesco). Under the terms of the investment
advisory agreement, the Trust pays an advisory fee to the
Adviser based on the annual rate 0.27% of the Trusts
average weekly managed assets including current preferred shares
and leverage entered into to retire preferred shares of the
Trust.
Under the terms of a master
sub-advisory
agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset
Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited,
Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia
Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured
Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the
Affiliated
Sub-Advisers)
the Adviser, not the Trust, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the
Adviser to any such Affiliated
Sub-Adviser(s)
that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to
the Trust based on the percentage of assets allocated to such
Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at
least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees
and/or
reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the
Trusts expenses (excluding certain items discussed below)
to 0.70%. In determining the Advisers obligation to waive
advisory fees
and/or
reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into
account, and could cause the Trusts expenses to exceed the
limit reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and
maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on
short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items,
including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the
Trust has incurred but did not actually pay because of an
expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and
Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver
agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. The Adviser
did not waive fees
and/or
reimburse expenses during the period under this expense
limitation.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative
services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Trust has
agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred
in providing accounting services to the Trust. For the year
ended February 29, 2012, expenses incurred under these
agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as
administrative services fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are
officers and directors of Invesco.
NOTE 3Additional
Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date,
under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the
highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices
in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and
the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs
(Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily
available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the
securities or other investments are tiered into one of three
levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in
or out of an investments assigned level:
|
|
|
|
Level 1
|
Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market
for identical assets.
|
|
Level 2
|
Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs.
Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may
use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit
risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount
rates, volatilities and others.
|
22 Invesco
Quality Municipal Income Trust
|
|
|
|
Level 3
|
Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In
situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are
unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market
activity for an investment at the end of the period),
unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the
Trusts own assumptions about the factors market
participants would use in determining fair value of the
securities or instruments and would be based on the best
available information.
|
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation
input levels, as of February 29, 2012. The level assigned
to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the
risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values
reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from
the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
During the year ended February 29, 2012, there
were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4Trustees
and Officers Fees and Benefits
Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits
include amounts accrued by the Trust to pay remuneration to
certain Trustees and Officers of the Trust. Trustees have the
option to defer compensation payable by the Trust, and
Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits
also include amounts accrued by the Trust to fund such deferred
compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have
the option to select various Invesco Trusts in which their
deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally,
certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a
retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon
retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number
of years of service. The Trust may have certain former Trustees
who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits
under such plan. Trustees and Officers Fees
and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Trust to fund
such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred
compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims
against the general assets of the Trust.
During the year ended February 29, 2012, the
Trust paid legal fees of $8,138 for services rendered by Kramer,
Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the
Independent Trustees. A partner of that firm is a Trustee of the
Trust.
NOTE 5Cash
Balances and Borrowings
The Trust is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or
overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and
Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at
period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities
under the payable caption amount due custodian. To
compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn
Trust may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance
in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by
earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by
paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian
bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon
rate.
Inverse floating rate obligations resulting from the
transfer of bonds to Dealer Trusts are accounted for as secured
borrowings. The average floating rate notes outstanding and
average annual interest and fees related to inverse floating
rate note obligations during the year ended February 29,
2012 were $52,981,538 and 0.79%, respectively.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in
the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for
tax and book purposes. The Trusts net unrealized
appreciation difference is attributable primarily to book to tax
accretion and amortization differences and TOBs.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of
timing differences between book and tax recognition of income
and/or
expenses. The Trusts temporary book/tax differences are
the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and
retirement plan benefits.
23 Invesco
Quality Municipal Income Trust
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported
as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other
activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss
carryforward actually available for the Trust to utilize. The
Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the
Act) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for
capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its
enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these
capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period.
However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be
used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses
without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally,
post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their
character as either short-term or long-term capital losses
instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The
ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may
be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related
regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Trust has a capital loss carryforward as of
February 29, 2012, which expires as follows:

NOTE 8Reclassification
of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of deemed
distribution of taxable income and market discounts, on
February 29, 2012, undistributed net investment income was
decreased by $39,096, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was
increased by $14,505 and shares of beneficial interest was
increased by $24,591. This reclassification had no effect on the
net assets of the Trust.
NOTE 9Preferred
Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Trust has issued Auction Rate Preferred Shares
(preferred shares) which have a liquidation value of
$50,000 per share plus the redemption premium, if any, plus
accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared,
thereon to the date of distribution. The Trust may redeem such
shares, in whole or in part, at the original purchase price of
$50,000 per share plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether
or not declared, thereon to the date of redemption.
Historically, the Trust paid annual fees equivalent
to 0.25% of the preferred share liquidation value for the
remarketing efforts associated with the preferred auction.
Effective March 31, 2009, the Trust decreased this amount
to 0.15% due to auction failures. In the future, if auctions no
longer fail, the Trust may return to an annual fee payment of
0.25% of the preferred share liquidation value. These fees are
included as a component of Interest, facilities and
maintenance fees expense on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends, which are cumulative, are reset through
auction procedures.

24 Invesco
Quality Municipal Income Trust
Subsequent to February 29, 2012 and up through
April 5, 2012, the Trust paid dividends to preferred
shareholders at rates ranging from 0.198% to 0.363% in the
aggregate amount of $28,378.
The Trust is subject to certain restrictions
relating to the preferred shares. Failure to comply with these
restrictions could preclude the Trust from declaring any
distributions to common shareholders or purchasing common shares
and/or could
trigger the mandatory redemption of preferred shares at
liquidation value.
Beginning February 19, 2008 and continuing
through February 29, 2012, all series of preferred shares
of the Trust were not successfully remarketed. As a result, the
dividend rates of these preferred shares were reset to the
maximum applicable rate.
The preferred shares, which are entitled to one vote
per share, generally vote with the common shares but vote
separately as a class to elect two Trustees and on any matters
affecting the rights of the preferred shares.
The preferred shares are not listed on an exchange.
Investors in preferred shares may participate in auctions
through authorized broker-dealers; however, such broker-dealers
are not required to maintain a secondary market in preferred
shares, and there can be no assurance that a secondary market
will develop, or if it does develop, a secondary market may not
provide you with liquidity. When a preferred share auction
fails, investors may not be able to sell any or all of their
preferred shares and because of the nature of the market for
preferred shares, investors may receive less than the price paid
for their preferred shares if sold outside of the auction.
During the period ended February 29, 2012, the
Trust entered into additional floating rate note obligations as
an alternative form of leverage in order to redeem a portion of
its preferred shares. Transactions in preferred shares were as

26 Invesco
Quality Municipal Income Trust
NOTE 13Significant
Event
The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the Board)
approved the redomestication of the Trust, a Massachusetts
business trust, into a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Redomestication (the
Redomestication). The Board also approved an
Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which Invesco Quality
Municipal Investment Trust and Invesco Quality Municipal
Securities (each a Target Trust) would merge with
and into the Trust in accordance with the Delaware Statutory
Trust Act (the Merger). As a result of the Merger,
all of the assets and liabilities of each Target Trust will
become assets and liabilities of the Trust and each Target
Trusts shareholders will become shareholders of the Trust.
The Redomestication and the Merger are subject to shareholder
approval.
In addition, the Board also approved a plan to
redeem all of the outstanding auction rate preferred shares at
their respective liquidation preferences. These redemptions are
anticipated to be funded with proceeds received from the
issuance of Variable Rate Munifund Term Preferred Shares
(VMTPS) and Tender Option Bonds (TOBs).
VMTPS are a variable rate form of preferred stock with a
mandatory redemption date. These redemptions and this issuance
of VMTPS are targeted to occur in the first half of 2012.
NOTE 14Legal
Proceedings
Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms
solely for the purpose of this note.
Pending
Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries
The Trust received a shareholder demand letter dated
July 16, 2010, from one of the Trusts shareholders,
alleging that the former board and the officers of the Trust
breached their fiduciary duty and duty of loyalty and wasted
Trust assets by causing the Trust to redeem Auction Rate
Preferred Securities (ARPS) at their liquidation value. The
Trust also received a shareholder demand letter dated
March 25, 2011 alleging that the current board and officers
of the Trust breached their fiduciary duty and duty of loyalty
and wasted Trust assets by causing the Trust to redeem ARPS at
their liquidation value, although the actions complained of
occurred prior to the election of the current board and
appointment of current officers and prior to the tenure of the
current adviser. The shareholders in both letters claim that the
board and officers had no obligation to provide liquidity to the
ARPS shareholders, the redemptions were improperly motivated to
benefit the adviser by preserving business relationships with
the ARPS holders, i.e., institutional investors, and the market
value and fair value of the ARPS were less than par at the time
they were redeemed. The letter alleges that the redemption of
the ARPS occurred at the expense of the Trust and its common
shareholders. The letter demands that: 1) the Board take
action against the adviser and trustees/officers to recover
damages; 2) the Board refrain from authorizing further
redemptions or repurchases of ARPS by the Trust at prices in
excess of fair value or market value at the time of the
transaction; and 3) if the Trust does not commence
appropriate action, the shareholder will commence a shareholder
derivative action on behalf of the Trust. The Board formed a
Special Litigation Committee (SLC) to investigate
these claims and make a recommendation to the Board regarding
whether pursuit of these claims is in the best interests of the
Trust. Upon completion of its evaluation, the SLC recommended
that the Board reject the demands specified in the shareholder
demand letters, after which the Board announced on July 12,
2011, that it had adopted the SLCs recommendation and
voted to reject the demands. The Trust has accrued $717,374 in
expenses relating to these matters during the year ended
February 29, 2012.
Management of Invesco and the Trust believe that the
outcome of the demand letter described above will have no
material adverse effect on the Trust or on the ability of
Invesco to provide ongoing services to the Trust.
27 Invesco
Quality Municipal Income Trust
Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Invesco Quality Municipal Income Trust:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and
liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the
related statements of operations, of changes in net assets and
of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Quality
Municipal Income Trust (hereafter referred to as the
Trust) at February 29, 2012, the results of its
operations and cash flows for the year then ended, and the
changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the year
then ended, the period ended February 28, 2011 and the year
ended October 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter
referred to as financial statements) are the
responsibility of the Trusts management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits, which included confirmation of
securities at February 29, 2012 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion. The financial highlights of the Trust for the periods
ended October 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other
independent auditors whose report dated December 24, 2009
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

nationally recognized statistical rating organization
(NRSRO); (ii) comparably rated short-term
securities; or (iii) unrated municipal securities
determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality at the
time of purchase. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may
invest up to 20% of its total assets in municipal securities
rated below investment grade or that are unrated but determined
by the Adviser to be of comparable quality at the time of
purchase. Lower-grade securities are commonly referred to as
junk bonds and involve greater risks than investments in
higher-grade securities. The Fund does not purchase securities
that are in default or rated in categories lower than B- by
S&P or B3 by Moodys or unrated securities of
comparable quality.
The foregoing percentage and rating limitations
apply at the time of acquisition of a security based on the last
previous determination of the Funds net asset value. Any
subsequent change in any rating by a rating service or change in
percentages resulting from market fluctuations or other changes
in the Funds total assets will not require elimination of
any security from the Funds portfolio.
The Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of
its total assets in municipal securities that may subject
certain investors to the federal alternative minimum tax and,
therefore, a substantial portion of the income produced by the
Fund may be taxable for such investors under the federal
alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, the Fund may not be a
suitable investment for investors who are already subject to the
federal alternative minimum tax or could become subject to the
federal alternative minimum tax as a result of an investment in
the Fund.
The Adviser buys and sells securities for the Fund
with a view towards seeking a high level of current income
exempt from federal income taxes, subject to reasonable credit
risk. As a result, the Fund will not necessarily invest in the
highest yielding municipal securities permitted by its
investment policies if the Adviser determines that market risks
or credit risks associated with such investments would subject
the Funds portfolio to undue risk. The potential
realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible
changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and
frequency of portfolio turnover generally will not be a limiting
factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or
sell securities.
The Adviser employs a
bottom-up,
research-driven approach to identify securities that have
attractive risk/reward characteristics for the sectors in which
the Fund invests. The Adviser also integrates macroeconomic
analysis and forecasting into its evaluation and ranking of
various sectors and individual securities. Finally, the Fund
employs leverage in an effort to enhance the Funds income
and total return. Sell decisions are based on: (i) a
deterioration or likely deterioration of an individual
issuers capacity to meet its debt obligations on a timely
basis; (ii) a deterioration or likely deterioration of the
broader fundamentals of a particular industry or sector; and
(iii) opportunities in the secondary or primary market to
purchase a security with better relative value.
Municipal Securities. Municipal
securities are obligations issued by or on behalf of states,
territories or possessions of the United States, the District of
Columbia and their cities, counties, political subdivisions,
agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which, in the
opinion of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such
securities, is, at the time of issuance, exempt from federal
income tax. The Adviser does not conduct its own analysis of the
tax status of the interest paid by municipal securities held by
the Fund, but will rely on the opinion of counsel to the issuer
of each such instrument.
The issuers of municipal securities obtain funds for
various public purposes, including the construction of a wide
range of public facilities such as airports, highways, bridges,
schools, hospitals, housing, mass transportation, streets and
water and sewer works. Other public purposes for which municipal
securities may be issued include refunding outstanding
obligations, obtaining funds for general operating expenses and
obtaining funds to lend to other public institutions and
facilities. Certain types of municipal securities are issued to
obtain funding for privately operated facilities.
The yields of municipal securities depend on, among
other things, general money market conditions, general
conditions of the municipal securities market, size of a
particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and rating
of the issue. There is no limitation as to the maturity of the
municipal securities in which the Fund may invest. The ratings
of S&P and Moodys represent their opinions of the
quality of the municipal securities they undertake to rate.
These ratings are general and are not absolute standards of
quality. Consequently, municipal securities with the same
maturity, coupon and rating may have different yields while
municipal securities of the same maturity and coupon with
different ratings may have the same yield.
The two principal classifications of municipal
securities are general obligation and revenue or special
delegation securities. General obligation securities are secured
by the issuers pledge of its faith, credit and taxing
power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue
securities are usually payable only from the revenues derived
from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some
cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other
specific revenue source. Industrial development bonds are
usually revenue securities, the credit quality of which is
normally directly related to the credit standing of the
industrial user involved.
Within these principal classifications of municipal
securities, there are a variety of types of municipal
securities, including:
|
|
|
|
|
Variable rate securities, which bear rates of interest that are
adjusted periodically according to formulae intended to reflect
market rates of interest.
|
|
|
Municipal notes, including tax, revenue and bond anticipation
notes of short maturity, generally less than three years, which
are issued to obtain temporary funds for various public purposes.
|

Quality Municipal Income Trust
|
|
|
|
|
Variable rate demand notes, which are obligations that contain a
floating or variable interest rate adjustment formula and which
are subject to a right of demand for payment of the principal
balance plus accrued interest either at any time or at specified
intervals. The interest rate on a variable rate demand note may
be based on a known lending rate, such as a banks prime
rate, and may be adjusted when such rate changes, or the
interest rate may be a market rate that is adjusted at specified
intervals. The adjustment formula maintains the value of the
variable rate demand note at approximately the par value of such
note at the adjustment date.
|
|
|
Municipal leases, which are obligations issued by state and
local governments or authorities to finance the acquisition of
equipment and facilities. Certain municipal lease obligations
may include non-appropriation clauses which provide that the
municipality has no obligation to make lease or installment
purchase payments in future years unless money is appropriated
for such purpose on a yearly basis.
|
|
|
Private activity bonds, which are issued by, or on behalf of,
public authorities to finance privately operated facilities.
|
|
|
Participation certificates, which are obligations issued by
state or local governments or authorities to finance the
acquisition of equipment and facilities. They may represent
participations in a lease, an installment purchase contract or a
conditional sales contract.
|
|
|
Municipal securities that may not be backed by the faith, credit
and taxing power of the issuer.
|
|
|
Municipal securities that are privately placed and that may have
restrictions on the Funds ability to resell, such as
timing restrictions or requirements that the securities only be
sold to qualified institutional investors.
|
|
|
Municipal securities that are insured by financial insurance
companies.
|
Derivatives. The Fund may use derivative
instruments for a variety of purposes, including hedging, risk
management, portfolio management or to earn income. Derivatives
are financial instruments whose value is based on the value of
another underlying asset, interest rate, index or financial
instrument. Derivative instruments and techniques that the Fund
may use include:
Futures. A futures contract is a
standardized agreement between two parties to buy or sell a
specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specific
price at a specific future time. The value of a futures contract
tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the
underlying instrument. Futures contracts are bilateral
agreements, with both the purchaser and the seller equally
obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of
the particular contract, futures contracts are settled through
either physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the
settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the
settlement date.
Swaps. 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, currencies or other
instruments. Most swap agreements provide that when the period
payment dates for both parties are the same, the payments are
made on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted
out, with only the net amount paid by one party to the other).
The Funds obligations or rights under a swap contract
entered into on a net basis will generally be equal only to the
net amount to be paid or received under the agreement, based on
the relative values of the positions held by each counterparty.
Inverse Floating Rate Obligations. The
Fund may invest in inverse floating rate obligations. Inverse
floating rate obligations are variable rate debt instruments
that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction
of prevailing interest rates. Because the interest rate paid to
holders of such obligations is generally determined by
subtracting a variable or floating rate from a predetermined
amount, the interest rate paid to holders of such obligations
will decrease as such variable or floating rate increases and
increase as such variable or floating rate decreases. The
inverse floating rate obligations in which the Fund may invest
include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds
(RIBs) or tender option bonds (TOBs).
Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose
trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds and sells two
classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate
interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse
floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund.
The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on
the cash flow from the bond held by the special purpose trust
and the Fund (as holder of the inverse floating residual
interests) is paid the residual cash flow from the bond held by
the special purpose trust.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery
Transactions. The Fund may purchase and sell securities
on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that
the Fund buys or sells 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.
Preferred Shares. The Fund uses leverage
in the form of Preferred Shares. Dividends on the Preferred
Shares will typically be comparable to the yields on investment
grade short-term municipal securities, although the assets
attributable to the Preferred Shares will generally be invested
in longer-term municipal securities, which typically have higher
yields than short-term municipal securities. Assuming such a
yield differential, this leveraged capital structure enables the
Fund to pay a potentially higher yield on the Common Shares than
similar investment companies that do not use leverage.
The Fund will generally maintain an asset coverage
of the value of the Funds total assets, less all
liabilities and indebtedness of the Fund not represented by the
Preferred Shares, of 200% of the aggregate liquidation value of
the Preferred Shares. The liquidation value of the Preferred
Shares is their aggregate original purchase price, plus any
accrued and unpaid dividends.
Portfolio Turnover. The Fund may sell
securities without regard to the length of time they have been
held to take advantage of new investment opportunities, yield
differentials, or for other reasons. The Funds portfolio
turnover rate may vary from year to year. A high portfolio
turnover rate (100% or more) would increase the Funds
transaction costs (including brokerage commissions and dealer
costs), which would adversely impact the Funds
performance. Higher portfolio turnover may result in the
realization of more short-term capital gains than if the Fund
had lower portfolio turnover. Additionally, in a declining
market, portfolio turnover may create realized capital losses.
The turnover rate will not be a limiting factor, however, if the
Adviser considers portfolio changes appropriate.
Temporary Defensive Strategy. When
market conditions dictate a more defensive investment strategy,
the Fund may, on a temporary basis, hold cash or invest a
portion or all of its assets in high-quality, short-term
municipal securities. If such municipal securities are not
available or, in the judgment of the Adviser, do not afford
sufficient protection against adverse market conditions, the
Fund may invest in taxable instruments. Such taxable securities
may include securities issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, other
investment grade quality fixed income securities, prime
commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers
acceptances and other obligations of domestic banks, repurchase
agreements and money market funds
31 Invesco
Quality Municipal Income Trust
(including money market funds affiliated with the Adviser). In
taking a defensive position, the Fund would temporarily not be
pursuing its principal investment strategies and may not achieve
its investment objective.
Zero Coupon/PIK Bonds. The Fund may
invest in securities not producing immediate cash income,
including zero coupon securities or
pay-in-kind
(PIK) securities, when their effective yield over
comparable instruments producing cash income makes these
investments attractive. PIK securities are debt securities that
pay interest through the issuance of additional securities. Zero
coupon securities are debt securities that do not entitle the
holder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturity or
a specified date when the securities begin paying current
interest. They are issued and traded at a discount from their
face amounts or par value, which discount varies depending on
the time remaining until cash payments begin, prevailing
interest rates, liquidity of the security and the perceived
credit quality of the issuer. The securities do not entitle the
holder to any periodic payments of interest prior to maturity,
which prevents any reinvestment of interest payments at
prevailing interest rates if prevailing interest rates rise. On
the other hand, because there are no periodic interest payments
to be reinvested prior to maturity, zero coupon securities
eliminate the reinvestment risk and may lock in a favorable rate
of return to maturity if interest rates drop. In addition, the
Fund would be required to distribute the income on these
instruments as it accrues, even though the Fund will not receive
all of the income on a current basis or in cash. Thus, the Fund
may have to sell other investments, including when it may not be
advisable to do so, to make income distributions to the Common
Shareholders.
Principal Risks
of Investing in the Fund
As with any fund investment, loss of money is a risk of
investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank
and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. As with
any managed fund, the Adviser may not be successful in selecting
the best-performing securities or investment techniques, and the
Funds performance may lag behind that of similar funds.
The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase
during times of significant market volatility.
Municipal Securities Risk. Under normal
market conditions, longer-term municipal securities generally
provide a higher yield than shorter-term municipal securities.
The Adviser may adjust the average maturity of the Funds
portfolio from time to time depending on its assessment of the
relative yields available on securities of different maturities
and its expectations of future changes in interest rates. The
yields of municipal securities may move differently and
adversely compared to the yields of the overall debt securities
markets. Certain kinds of municipal securities are subject to
specific risks that could cause a decline in the value of those
securities:
Lease Obligations. Certain lease
obligations contain non-appropriation clauses that provide that
the governmental issuer has no obligation to make future
payments under the lease or contract unless money is
appropriated for that purpose by the appropriate legislative
body on an annual or other periodic basis. Consequently,
continued lease payments on those lease obligations containing
non-appropriation clauses are dependent on future legislative
actions. If these legislative actions do not occur, the holders
of the lease obligation may experience difficulty in exercising
their rights, including disposition of the property.
Private Activity Bonds. The issuers of
private activity bonds in which the Fund may invest may be
negatively impacted by conditions affecting either the general
credit of the user of the private activity project or the
project itself. Conditions such as regulatory and environmental
restrictions and economic downturns may lower the need for these
facilities and the ability of users of the project to pay for
the facilities. Private activity bonds may also pay interest
subject to the alternative minimum tax.
In 2011, S&P lowered its long-term sovereign
credit rating on the U.S. to AA+ from
AAA with a negative outlook. Following
S&Ps downgrade of the long-term sovereign credit
rating on the U.S., the major rating agencies have also placed
many municipalities on review for potential downgrades, which
could impact the market price, liquidity and volatility of the
municipal securities held by the Fund in its portfolio. If the
universe of municipal securities meeting the Funds ratings
and credit quality requirements shrinks, it may be more
difficult for the Fund to meet its investment objectives and the
Funds investments may become more concentrated in fewer
issues. Future downgrades by other rating agencies could have
significant adverse effects on the economy generally and could
result in significant adverse impacts on municipal issuers and
the Fund.
Many state and municipal governments that issue
securities are under significant economic and financial stress
and may not be able to satisfy their obligations. In response to
the national economic downturn, governmental cost burdens have
been and may continue to be reallocated among federal, state and
local governments. The ability of municipal issuers to make
timely payments of interest and principal may be diminished
during general economic downturns and as governmental cost
burdens are reallocated among federal, state and local
governments. Also, as a result of the downturn and related
unemployment, declining income and loss of property values, many
state and local governments have experienced significant
reductions in revenues and consequently difficulties meeting
ongoing expenses. As a result, certain of these state and local
governments may have difficulty paying or default in the payment
of principal or interest on their outstanding debt, may
experience ratings downgrades of their debt. The taxing power of
any governmental entity may be limited by provisions of state
constitutions or laws and an entitys credit will depend on
many factors, including the entitys tax base, the extent
to which the entity relies on federal or state aid, and other
factors which are beyond the entitys control. In addition,
laws enacted in the future by Congress or state legislatures or
referenda could extend the time for payment of principal
and/or
interest, or impose other constraints on enforcement of such
obligations or on the ability of municipalities to levy taxes.
In addition, municipalities might seek protection
under the bankruptcy laws, thereby affecting the repayment of
their outstanding debt. Issuers of municipal securities might
seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. In the event of
bankruptcy of such an issuer, holders of municipal securities
could experience delays in collecting principal and interest and
such holders may not be able to collect all principal and
interest to which they are entitled. Certain provisions of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are
unclear. Further, the application of state law to municipal
securities issuers could produce varying results among the
states or among municipal securities issuers within a state.
These uncertainties could have a significant impact on the
prices of the municipal securities in which the Fund invests.
The value of municipal securities generally may be affected by
uncertainties in the municipal markets as a result of
legislation or litigation, including legislation or litigation
that changes the taxation of municipal securities or the rights
of municipal securities holders in the event of a bankruptcy. To
enforce its rights in the event of a default in the payment of
interest or repayment of principal, or both, the Fund may take
possession of and manage the assets securing the issuers
obligations on such securities, which may increase the
Funds operating expenses. Any income derived from the
Funds ownership or operation of such assets may not be
tax-exempt and could jeopardize the Funds status as a
regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code.
32 Invesco
Quality Municipal Income Trust
The U.S. economy may be in the process of
deleveraging, with individuals, companies and
municipalities reducing expenditures and paying down borrowings.
In such event, the number of municipal borrowers and the amount
of outstanding municipal securities may contract, potentially
without corresponding reductions in investor demand for
municipal securities. As a result, the Fund may have fewer
investment alternatives, may invest in securities that it
previously would have declined and may concentrate its
investments in a smaller number of issuers.
Insurance Risk. Financial insurance
guarantees that interest payments on a bond will be made on time
and that principal will be repaid when the bond matures. Insured
municipal obligations would generally be assigned a lower rating
if the rating were based primarily on the credit quality of the
issuer without regard to the insurance feature. If the
claims-paying ability of the insurer were downgraded, the
ratings on the municipal obligations it insures may also be
downgraded. Insurance does not protect the Fund against losses
caused by declines in a bonds value due to a change in
market conditions.
Market Risk. Market risk is the
possibility that the market values of securities owned by the
Fund will decline. The net asset value of the Fund will change
with changes in the value of its portfolio securities, and the
value of the Funds investments can be expected to
fluctuate over time. The financial markets in general are
subject to volatility and may at times experience extreme
volatility and uncertainty, which may affect all investment
securities, including debt securities and derivative
instruments. Volatility may be greater during periods of general
economic uncertainty.
Interest Rate Risk. Because the Fund
invests primarily in fixed income municipal securities, the net
asset value of the Fund can be expected to change as general
levels of interest rates fluctuate. When interest rates decline,
the value of a portfolio invested in fixed income securities
generally can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest
rates rise, the value of a portfolio invested in fixed income
securities generally can be expected to decline. The prices of
longer-term municipal securities generally are more volatile
with respect to changes in interest rates than the prices of
shorter-term municipal securities. These risks may be greater in
the current market environment because certain interest rates
are near historically low levels.
Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to an
issuers ability to make timely payments of interest and
principal when due. Municipal securities, like other debt
obligations, are subject to the credit risk of nonpayment. The
ability of issuers of municipal securities to make timely
payments of interest and principal may be adversely affected by
general economic downturns and as relative governmental cost
burdens are allocated and reallocated among federal, state and
local governmental units. Private activity bonds used to finance
projects, such as industrial development and pollution control,
may also be negatively impacted by the general credit of the
user of the project. Nonpayment would result in a reduction of
income to the Fund, and a potential decrease in the net asset
value of the Fund. The Adviser continuously monitors the issuers
of securities held in the Fund.
The Fund will rely on the Advisers judgment,
analysis and experience in evaluating the creditworthiness of an
issuer. In its analysis, the Adviser may consider the credit
ratings of NRSROs in evaluating securities, although the Adviser
does not rely primarily on these ratings. Credit ratings of
NRSROs evaluate only the safety of principal and interest
payments, not the market risk. In addition, ratings are general
and not absolute standards of quality, and the creditworthiness
of an issuer may decline significantly before an NRSRO lowers
the issuers rating. A rating downgrade does not require
the Fund to dispose of a security.
Medium-grade obligations (for example, bonds rated
BBB by S&P) possess speculative characteristics so that
changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the issuer to make
principal and interest payments than in the case of higher-rated
securities. Securities rated below investment grade are
considered speculative by NRSROs with respect to the
issuers continuing ability to pay interest and principal.
Income Risk. The income you receive from
the Fund is based primarily on prevailing interest rates, which
can vary widely over the short and long term. If interest rates
decrease, your income from the Fund may decrease as well.
Call Risk. If interest rates fall, it is
possible that issuers of securities with high interest rates
will prepay or call their securities before their maturity
dates. In this event, the proceeds from the called securities
would likely be reinvested by the Fund in securities bearing the
new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in
the Funds income and distributions to shareholders.
Market Segment Risk. The Fund generally
considers investments in municipal securities issued by
governments or political subdivisions not to be subject to
industry concentration policies (because such issuers are not in
any industry). The Fund may, however, invest in municipal
securities issued by entities having similar characteristics.
For example, the issuers may be located in the same geographic
area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of
similar projects, such as hospitals, airports, utility systems
and housing finance agencies. This may make the Funds
investments more susceptible to similar economic, political or
regulatory occurrences, which could increase the volatility of
the Funds net asset value. The Fund may invest more than
25% of its total assets in a segment of the municipal securities
market with similar characteristics if the Adviser determines
that the yields available from obligations in a particular
segment justify the additional risks of a larger investment in
that segment. The Fund may not, however, invest more than 25% of
its total assets in municipal securities, such as many private
activity bonds or industrial development revenue bonds, issued
for non-governmental entities that are in the same industry.
The Fund has no policy limiting its investments in
municipal securities whose issuers are located in the same
state. If the Fund were to invest a significant portion of its
total assets in issuers located in the same state, it would be
more susceptible to adverse economic, business or regulatory
conditions in that state.
Tax Risk. To qualify for the favorable
U.S. federal income tax treatment generally accorded to
regulated investment companies, among other things, the Fund
must derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross
income from certain prescribed sources. If for any taxable year
the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment company, all
of its taxable income (including its net capital gain) would be
subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates without
any deduction for distributions to shareholders, and all
distributions from the Fund (including underlying distributions
attributable to tax exempt interest income) would be taxable to
shareholders as ordinary dividends to the extent of the
Funds current and accumulated earnings and profits.
The value of the Funds investments and its net
asset value may be adversely affected by changes in tax rates
and policies. Because interest income from municipal securities
is normally not subject to regular federal income taxation, the
attractiveness of municipal securities in relation to other
investment alternatives is affected by changes in federal income
tax rates or changes in the tax-exempt status of interest income
from municipal securities. Any proposed or actual changes in
such rates or exempt status, therefore, can significantly affect
the demand for and supply, liquidity and marketability of
municipal securities. This could in turn affect the Funds
net asset value and ability to acquire and dispose of municipal
securities at desirable yield and price levels. Additionally,
the Fund may not be a suitable investment for individual
retirement accounts, for other tax-exempt or tax-deferred
accounts or for investors who are not sensitive to the federal
income tax consequences of their investments.
The Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of
its total assets in municipal securities subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, an investment in the Fund
could cause shareholders to be subject to (or result in an
increased liability under) the federal alternative minimum tax.
As a result, the
33 Invesco
Quality Municipal Income Trust
Fund may not be a suitable investment for investors who are
already subject to the federal alternative minimum tax or who
could become subject to the federal alternative minimum tax as a
result of an investment in the Fund.
Subsequent to the Funds acquisition of a
municipal security, the security may be determined to pay, or to
have paid, taxable income. As a result, the treatment of
dividends previously paid or to be paid by the Fund as
exempt-interest dividends could be adversely
affected, subjecting the Funds shareholders to increased
federal income tax liabilities.
For federal income tax purposes, distributions of
ordinary taxable income (including any net short-term capital
gain) will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income (and
not eligible for favorable taxation as qualified dividend
income), and capital gain dividends will be taxed at
long-term capital gain rates. In certain circumstances, the Fund
will make payments to holders of Preferred Shares to offset the
tax effects of a taxable distribution.
Generally, to the extent the Funds
distributions are derived from interest on municipal securities
of a particular state (and, in some cases qualifying obligations
of U.S. territories and possessions), its distributions are
exempt from the personal income tax of that state. In some
cases, the Funds shares may (to the extent applicable)
also be exempt from personal property taxes of such state.
However, some states require that the Fund meet certain
thresholds with respect to the portion of its portfolio
consisting of municipal securities of such state in order for
such exemption to apply.
Risks of Using Derivative Instruments. A
derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying
instrument and may have additional risks, including imperfect
correlation between the value of the derivative and the
underlying instrument or instrument being hedged, risks of
default by the other party to certain transactions,
magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market
value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest rates
to which they relate, and risks that the derivatives may not be
liquid. The use of derivatives involves risks that are different
from, and potentially greater than, the risks associated with
other portfolio investments. Derivatives may involve the use of
highly specialized instruments that require investment
techniques and risk analyses different from those associated
with other portfolio investments. Certain derivative
transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage
associated with derivative transactions may cause the Fund to
liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to
do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet earmarking or
segregation requirements, pursuant to applicable SEC rules and
regulations, or may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if
the Fund had not been leveraged. The Fund could suffer losses
related to its derivative positions as a result of unanticipated
market movements, which losses may potentially be unlimited.
Although the Adviser may seek to use derivatives to further the
Funds investment objective, the Fund is not required to
use derivatives and may choose not to do so and there is no
assurance that the use of derivatives will achieve this result.
Counterparty Risk. The Fund will be
subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the
derivative transactions entered into by the Fund. If a
counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its
obligations under a derivative contract due to financial
difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in
obtaining any recovery under the derivative contract in
bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may
obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such
circumstances.
Futures Risk. A decision as to whether,
when and how to use futures involves the exercise of skill and
judgment and even a well-conceived futures transaction may be
unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. In
addition to the derivatives risks discussed above, the prices of
futures can be highly volatile, using futures can lower total
return, and the potential loss from futures can exceed the
Funds initial investment in such contracts.
Swaps Risk. Swap agreements are not
entered into or traded on exchanges and there is no central
clearing or guaranty function for swaps. Therefore, swaps are
subject to credit risk or the risk of default or non-performance
by the counterparty. Swaps could result in losses if interest
rate or credit quality changes are not correctly anticipated by
the Fund or if the reference index, security or investments do
not perform as expected.
Tax Risk. The use of derivatives may
generate taxable income. In addition, the Funds use of
derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation as a
regulated investment company or the Funds intention to pay
dividends that are exempt from federal income taxes. The tax
treatment of derivatives may be adversely affected by changes in
legislation, regulations or other legal authority, subjecting
the Funds shareholders to increased federal income tax
liabilities.
Inverse Floating Rate Obligations
Risk. Like most other fixed-income securities, the
value of inverse floating rate obligations will decrease as
interest rates increase. They are more volatile, however, than
most other fixed-income securities because the coupon rate on an
inverse floating rate obligation typically changes at a multiple
of the change in the relevant index rate. Thus, any rise in the
index rate (as a consequence of an increase in interest rates)
causes a correspondingly greater drop in the coupon rate of an
inverse floating rate obligation while a drop in the index rate
causes a correspondingly greater increase in the coupon of an
inverse floating rate obligation. Some inverse floating rate
obligations may also increase or decrease substantially because
of changes in the rate of prepayments. Inverse floating rate
obligations tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds
in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform
the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or
remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate obligations have
varying degrees of liquidity.
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate
obligations that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the
Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of
leveraged inverse floating rate obligations
generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates
of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged
investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value
of inverse floating rate obligations generally will be larger
than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate
security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions
and maturity, which may cause the Funds net asset value to
be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating
rate obligations.
In certain instances, the short-term floating rate
interests created by a special purpose trust may not be able to
be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering
(or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not
be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the
special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may
be collapsed. In the case of inverse floating rate obligations
created by the Fund, the Fund would then be required to repay
the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of
market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Fund could be
required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous
time to raise cash to meet that obligation.
The use of short-term floating rate obligations may
require the Fund to segregate or earmark cash or liquid assets
to cover its obligations. Securities so segregated or earmarked
will be unavailable for sale by the Fund (unless replaced by
other securities qualifying for segregation requirements), which
may limit the Funds flexibility and may require that the
Fund sell other portfolio investments at a time when it may be
disadvantageous to sell such assets.
Risks of Investing in Lower-Grade
Securities. Securities that are in the lower-grade
categories generally offer higher yields than are offered by
higher-grade securities of similar maturities, but they also
generally involve greater risks, such as greater credit risk,
market risk, volatility and liquidity risk. In addition, the
34 Invesco
Quality Municipal Income Trust
amount of available information about the financial condition of
certain lower-grade issuers may be less extensive than other
issuers, making the Fund more dependent on the Advisers
credit analysis than a fund investing only in higher-grade
securities. To minimize the risks involved in investing in
lower-grade securities, the Fund does not purchase securities
that are in default or rated in categories lower than B- by
S&P or B3 by Moodys or unrated securities of
comparable quality.
Secondary market prices of lower-grade securities
generally are less sensitive than higher-grade securities to
changes in interest rates and are more sensitive to general
adverse economic changes or specific developments with respect
to the particular issuers. A significant increase in interest
rates or a general economic downturn may significantly affect
the ability of municipal issuers of lower-grade securities to
pay interest and to repay principal, or to obtain additional
financing, any of which could severely disrupt the market for
lower-grade municipal securities and adversely affect the market
value of such securities. Such events also could lead to a
higher incidence of default by issuers of lower-grade
securities. In addition, changes in credit risks, interest
rates, the credit markets or periods of general economic
uncertainty can be expected to result in increased volatility in
the price of the lower-grade securities and the net asset value
of the Fund. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether
or not based on rational analysis, may affect the value,
volatility and liquidity of lower-grade securities.
In the event that an issuer of securities held by
the Fund experiences difficulties in the timely payment of
principal and interest and such issuer seeks to restructure the
terms of its borrowings, the Fund may incur additional expenses
and may determine to invest additional assets with respect to
such issuer or the project or projects to which the Funds
securities relate. Further, the Fund may incur additional
expenses to the extent that it is required to seek recovery upon
a default in the payment of interest or the repayment of
principal on its portfolio holdings and the Fund may be unable
to obtain full recovery on such amounts.
Investments in debt obligations that are at risk of
or in default present special tax issues for the Fund. Federal
income tax rules are not entirely clear about issues such as
when the Fund may cease to accrue interest, original issue
discount or market discount, when and to what extent deductions
may be taken for bad debts or worthless securities, how payments
received on obligations in default should be allocated between
principal and interest and whether certain exchanges of debt
obligations in a workout context are taxable. These and other
issues will be addressed by the Fund, in the event it invests in
or holds such securities, in order to seek to ensure that it
distributes sufficient income to preserve its status as a
regulated investment company.
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity relates to the
ability of a fund to sell a security in a timely manner at a
price which reflects the value of that security. The amount of
available information about the financial condition of municipal
securities issuers is generally less extensive than that for
corporate issuers with publicly traded securities, and the
market for municipal securities is generally considered to be
less liquid than the market for corporate debt obligations.
Certain municipal securities in which the Fund may invest, such
as special obligation bonds, lease obligations, participation
certificates and variable rate instruments, may be particularly
less liquid. To the extent the Fund owns or may acquire illiquid
or restricted securities, these securities may involve special
registration requirements, liabilities and costs, and liquidity
and valuation difficulties.
The effects of adverse publicity and investor
perceptions may be more pronounced for securities for which no
established retail market exists as compared with the effects on
securities for which such a market does exist. An economic
downturn or an increase in interest rates could severely disrupt
the market for such securities and adversely affect the value of
outstanding securities or the ability of the issuers to repay
principal and interest. Further, the Fund may have more
difficulty selling such securities in a timely manner and at
their stated value than would be the case for securities for
which an established retail market does exist.
The markets for lower-grade securities may be less
liquid than the markets for higher-grade securities. To the
extent that there is no established retail market for some of
the lower-grade securities in which the Fund may invest, trading
in such securities may be relatively inactive. Prices of
lower-grade securities may decline rapidly in the event a
significant number of holders decide to sell. Changes in
expectations regarding an individual issuer of lower-grade
securities generally could reduce market liquidity for such
securities and make their sale by the Fund at their current
valuation more difficult.
From time to time, the Funds investments may
include securities as to which the Fund, by itself or together
with other funds or accounts managed by the Adviser, holds a
major portion or all of an issue of municipal securities.
Because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for
such investments and, in some cases, there may be contractual
restrictions on resales, the Fund may find it more difficult to
sell such securities at a time when the Adviser believes it is
advisable to do so.
Preferred Shares Risk. The
Funds use of leverage through Preferred Shares may result
in higher volatility of the net asset value of the Common
Shares, and fluctuations in the dividend rates on the Preferred
Shares (which are expected to reflect yields on short-term
municipal securities) may affect the yield to the Common
Shareholders. So long as the Fund is able to realize a higher
net return on its investment portfolio than the then current
dividend rate of the Preferred Shares, the effect of the
leverage provided by the Preferred Shares will be to cause the
Common Shareholders to realize a higher current rate of return
than if the Fund were not so leveraged. On the other hand, to
the extent that the then current dividend rate on the Preferred
Shares approaches the net return on the Funds investment
portfolio, the benefit of leverage to the Common Shareholders
will be reduced, and if the then current dividend rate on the
Preferred Shares were to exceed the net return on the
Funds portfolio, the Funds leveraged capital
structure would result in a lower rate of return to the Common
Shareholders than if the Fund were not so structured.
Similarly, because any decline in the net asset
value of the Funds investments will be borne entirely by
the Common Shareholders, the effect of leverage in a declining
market would result in a greater decrease in net asset value to
the Common Shareholders than if the Fund were not so leveraged.
Any such decrease would likely be reflected in a decline in the
market price for Common Shares. If the Funds current
investment income were not sufficient to meet dividend
requirements on the Preferred Shares, the Fund might have to
liquidate certain of its investments in order to meet required
dividend payments, thereby reducing the net asset value
attributable to the Funds Common Shares.
The amount of Preferred Shares outstanding from time
to time may vary, depending on the Advisers analysis of
conditions in the municipal securities market and interest rate
movements. Management of the amount of outstanding Preferred
Shares places greater reliance on the ability of the Adviser to
predict trends in interest rates than if the Fund did not use
leverage. In the event the Adviser later determines that all or
a portion of such Preferred Shares should be reissued so as to
increase the amount of leverage, no assurance can be given that
the Fund will subsequently be able to reissue Preferred Shares
on terms
and/or with
dividend rates that are beneficial to the Common Shareholders.
Further, redemption and reissuance of the Preferred Shares, and
any related trading of the Funds portfolio securities,
results in increased transaction costs to the Fund and its
Common Shareholders. Because the Common Shareholders bear these
35 Invesco
Quality Municipal Income Trust
expenses, changes to the Funds outstanding leverage and
any losses resulting from related portfolio trading will have a
proportionately larger impact on the Common Shares net
asset value and market price.
In addition, the Fund is not permitted to declare
any cash dividend or other distribution on its Common Shares
unless, at the time of such declaration, the Fund has an asset
coverage of at least 200% (determined after deducting the amount
of such dividend or distribution). This prohibition on the
payment of dividends or other distributions might impair the
ability of the Fund to maintain its qualification as a regulated
investment company for federal income tax purposes. The Fund
intends, however, to the extent possible, to purchase or redeem
Preferred Shares from time to time to maintain an asset coverage
of the Preferred Shares of at least 200%.
If a determination were made by the IRS to treat the
Preferred Shares as debt rather than equity for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Common Shareholders
might be subject to increased federal income tax liabilities.
Unrated Securities Risk. Many
lower-grade securities are not listed for trading on any
national securities exchange, and many issuers of lower-grade
securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their
obligations by any NRSRO. As a result, the Funds portfolio
may consist of a higher portion of unlisted or unrated
securities as compared with an investment company that invests
solely in higher-grade, listed securities. Unrated securities
are usually not as attractive to as many buyers as are rated
securities, a factor which may make unrated securities less
marketable. These factors may limit the ability of the Fund to
sell such securities at their fair value. The Fund may be more
reliant on the Advisers judgment and analysis in
evaluating the creditworthiness of an issuer of unrated
securities.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery
Risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions
are subject to market risk as the value or yield of a security
at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or the
yield generally available on securities when delivery occurs. In
addition, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk because it
relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate
the transaction, and failure by the other party to complete the
transaction may result in the Fund missing the opportunity of
obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous.
Zero Coupon/PIK Bond Risk. Prices on
non-cash-paying instruments may be more sensitive to changes in
the issuers financial condition, fluctuations in interest
rates and market demand/supply imbalances than cash-paying
securities with similar credit ratings, and thus may be more
speculative than are securities that pay interest periodically
in cash. These securities may subject the Fund to greater market
risk than a fund that does not own these types of securities.
Special tax considerations are associated with investing in
non-cash-paying instruments, such as zero coupon or PIK
securities. The Adviser will weigh these concerns against the
expected total returns from such instruments.

With respect to the provision of non-audit services, the pre-approval requirement is waived
pursuant to a de minimis exception if (i) such services were not recognized as non-audit
services by the Registrant at the time of engagement, (ii) the aggregate amount of all such
services provided is no more than 5% of the aggregate audit and non-audit fees paid by the
Registrant, Invesco and Invesco Affiliates to PWC during a fiscal year; and (iii) such
services are promptly brought to the attention of the Registrants Audit Committee and
approved by the Registrants Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. |

|
Including the fees for services not required to be pre-approved by the registrants audit
committee, PWC billed Invesco and Invesco Affiliates aggregate non-audit fees of $0 for the
fiscal year ended February 29, 2012, and $0 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011, for
non-audit services rendered to Invesco and Invesco Affiliates. |
|
|
|
The Audit Committee also has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that
were rendered to Invesco and Invesco Affiliates that were not required to be pre-approved
pursuant to SEC regulations, if any, is compatible with maintaining PWCs independence.
To the extent that such services were provided, the Audit Committee determined that the
provision of such services is compatible with PWC maintaining independence with respect to
the Registrant. |
PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
As adopted by the Audit Committees of
the Invesco Funds (the Funds)
Last Amended May 4, 2010
Statement of Principles
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) (Rules), the Audit Committees of the Funds (the Audit Committees) Board of
Trustees (the Board) are responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work
of independent accountants (an Auditor). As part of this responsibility and to assure that the
Auditors independence is not impaired, the Audit Committees pre-approve the audit and non-audit
services provided to the Funds by each Auditor, as well as all non-audit services provided by the
Auditor to the Funds investment adviser and to affiliates of the adviser that provide ongoing
services to the Funds (Service Affiliates) if the services directly impact the Funds operations
or financial reporting. The SEC Rules also specify the types of services that an Auditor may not
provide to its audit client. The following policies and procedures comply with the requirements
for pre-approval and provide a mechanism by which management of the Funds may request and secure
pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal
business operations.
Proposed services either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case
services by the Audit Committees (general pre-approval) or require the specific pre-approval of
the Audit Committees (specific pre-approval). As set forth in these policies and procedures,
unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval
by the Audit Committees. Additionally, any fees exceeding 110% of estimated pre-approved fee
levels provided at the time the service was pre-approved will also require specific approval by the
Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will also consider the impact of
additional fees on the Auditors independence when determining whether to approve any additional
fees for previously pre-approved services.
The Audit Committees will annually review and generally pre-approve the services that may be
provided by each Auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee generally
on an annual basis. The term of any general pre-approval runs from the date of such pre-approval
through September 30th of the following year, unless the Audit Committees consider a
different period and state otherwise. The Audit Committees will add to or subtract from the list
of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
The purpose of these policies and procedures is to set forth the guidelines to assist the Audit
Committees in fulfilling their responsibilities.
Delegation
The Audit Committees may from time to time delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of
its members who are Independent Trustees. All decisions to pre-approve a service by a delegated
member shall be reported to the Audit Committees at the next quarterly meeting.
Audit Services
The annual audit services engagement terms will be subject to specific pre-approval of the
Audit Committees. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures
such as tax provision work that is required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able
to form an opinion on the Funds financial statements. The Audit Committees will obtain, review
and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditors
qualifications and independence.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement, the Audit Committees may grant either general
or specific pre-approval of other audit services, which are those services that only the
independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include services such as
issuing consents for the inclusion of audited financial statements with SEC registration
statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in
connection with securities offerings.
Non-Audit Services
The Audit Committees may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any non-audit
services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committees believe that the provision
of the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor, is consistent with the SECs Rules
on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committees general principles and
policies as set forth herein.
Audit-Related Services
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the
performance of the audit or review of the Funds financial statements or that are traditionally
performed by the independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting
consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as
Audit services; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial
reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; and agreed-upon procedures related to mergers,
compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities.
Tax Services
Tax services include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds federal tax
returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters
such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit
Committees will scrutinize carefully the retention of the Auditor in connection with a transaction
initially recommended by the Auditor, the major business purpose of which may be tax avoidance or
the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related
regulations. The Audit Committees will consult with the Funds Treasurer (or his or her designee)
and may consult with outside counsel or advisors as necessary to ensure the consistency of Tax
services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy.
No Auditor shall represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or
federal court of claims.
Under rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and approved by the SEC, in
connection with seeking Audit Committees pre-approval of permissible Tax services, the Auditor
shall:
|
1. |
|
Describe in writing to the Audit Committees, which writing may be in the form of the
proposed engagement letter: |
|
a. |
|
The scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and
any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement
between the Auditor and the Fund, relating to the service; and |
|
|
b. |
|
Any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral
agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor and any
person (other than the Fund) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or
recommending of a transaction covered by the service; |
|
2. |
|
Discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the
independence of the Auditor; and |
|
3. |
|
Document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committees. |
All Other Auditor Services
The Audit Committees may pre-approve non-audit services classified as All other services that are
not categorically prohibited by the SEC, as listed in Exhibit 1 to this policy.
Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Established Amounts
Pre-approval of estimated fees or established amounts for services to be provided by the
Auditor under general or specific pre-approval policies will be set periodically by the Audit
Committees. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum estimated pre-approved fees or
established amounts for pre-approved audit and non-audit services will be reported to the Audit
Committees at the quarterly Audit Committees meeting and will require specific approval by the
Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will always factor
in the overall
relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any
such services and in determining whether to approve any additional fees exceeding 110% of the
maximum pre-approved fees or established amounts for previously pre-approved services.
Procedures
Generally on an annual basis, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco) will submit to the Audit
Committees for general pre-approval, a list of non-audit services that the Funds or Service
Affiliates of the Funds may request from the Auditor. The list will describe the non-audit
services in reasonable detail and will include an estimated range of fees and such other
information as the Audit Committee may request.
Each request for services to be provided by the Auditor under the general pre-approval of the Audit
Committees will be submitted to the Funds Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include a
detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Treasurer or his or her designee will
ensure that such services are included within the list of services that have received the general
pre-approval of the Audit Committees. The Audit Committees will be informed at the next quarterly
scheduled Audit Committees meeting of any such services for which the Auditor rendered an invoice
and whether such services and fees had been pre-approved and if so, by what means.
Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committees shall be
submitted to the Audit Committees jointly by the Funds Treasurer or his or her designee and the
Auditor, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, such request is consistent with
the policies and procedures and the SEC Rules.
Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit
Committees will describe in writing: (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the
engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement
between the Auditor and the audit client, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation
arrangement or other agreement between the Auditor and any person (other than the audit client)
with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service.
The Auditor will discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the
Auditors independence and will document the substance of the discussion.
Non-audit services pursuant to the de minimis exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly
brought to the attention of the Audit Committees for approval, including documentation that each of
the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the SEC Rules, has been satisfied.
On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will prepare a summary of all the services provided to any
entity in the investment company complex as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X in
sufficient detail as to the nature of the engagement and the fees associated with those services.
The Audit Committees have designated the Funds Treasurer to monitor the performance of all
services provided by the Auditor and to ensure such services are in compliance with these policies
and procedures. The Funds Treasurer will report to the Audit Committees on a periodic basis as to
the results of such monitoring. Both the Funds Treasurer and management of Invesco will
immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committees any breach of these policies and
procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds Treasurer or senior management of Invesco.

The following policies and procedures apply to all institutional accounts, clients and
funds managed by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco). These policies and procedures do not apply to
any of the retail funds managed by Invesco. See Section I.2 for the proxy policies and procedures
applicable to Invescos retail funds.
A. POLICY STATEMENT
Invesco has responsibility for making investment decisions that are in the best interests of its
clients. As part of the investment management services it provides to clients, Invesco may be
authorized by clients to vote proxies appurtenant to the shares for which the clients are
beneficial owners.
Invesco believes that it has a duty to manage clients assets in the best economic interests of its
clients and that the ability to vote proxies is a client asset.
Invesco reserves the right to amend its proxy policies and procedures from time to time without
prior notice to its clients.
Voting of Proxies
Invesco will vote client proxies relating to equity securities in accordance with the procedures
set forth below unless a non-ERISA client retains in writing the right to vote, the named fiduciary
(e.g., the plan sponsor) of an ERISA client retains in writing the right to direct the plan trustee
or a third party to vote proxies, or Invesco determines that any benefit the client might gain from
voting a proxy
would be outweighed by the costs associated therewith. In addition, due to the
distinct nature of proxy voting for interests in fixed income assets and stable value wrap
agreements, the proxies for such fixed income assets and stable value wrap
agreements will be voted in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Proxy Voting for Fixed
Income Assets and Stable Value Wrap Agreements section below.
Best Economic Interests of Clients
In voting proxies, Invesco will take into consideration those factors that may affect the value of
the security and will vote proxies in a manner in which, in its opinion, is in the best economic
interests of clients. Invesco endeavors to resolve any conflicts of interest exclusively in the
best economic interests of clients.
B. OPERATING PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBLE PARTIES
RiskMetrics Services
Invesco has contracted with RiskMetrics Group (RiskMetrics, formerly known as ISS), an
independent third party service provider, to vote Invescos clients proxies according to
RiskMetrics proxy voting recommendations determined by RiskMetrics pursuant to its then-current US
Proxy Voting Guidelines, a summary of which can be found at http://www.riskmetrics.com and which
are deemed to be incorporated herein. In addition, RiskMetrics will provide proxy analyses, vote
recommendations, vote execution and record-keeping services for clients for which Invesco has proxy
voting responsibility. On an annual basis, the Proxy Committee will review information obtained
from RiskMetrics to ascertain whether RiskMetrics (i) has the capacity and competency to adequately
analyze proxy issues, and (ii) can make such recommendations in an impartial manner and in the best
economic interests of Invescos clients. This may include a review of RiskMetrics Policies,
Procedures and Practices Regarding Potential Conflicts of Interest and obtaining information about
the work RiskMetrics does for corporate issuers and the payments RiskMetrics receives from such
issuers.
Custodians forward to RiskMetrics proxy materials for clients who rely on Invesco to vote proxies.
RiskMetrics is responsible for exercising the voting rights in accordance with the RiskMetrics
proxy voting guidelines. If Invesco receives proxy materials in connection with a clients account
where the client has, in writing, communicated to Invesco that the client, plan fiduciary or other
third party has reserved the right to vote proxies, Invesco will forward to the party appointed by
client any proxy materials it receives with respect to the account. In order to avoid voting
proxies in circumstances where Invesco, or any of its affiliates have or may have any conflict of
interest, real or perceived, Invesco has engaged RiskMetrics to provide the proxy analyses, vote
recommendations and voting of proxies.
In the event that (i) RiskMetrics recuses itself on a proxy voting matter and makes no
recommendation or (ii) Invesco decides to override the RiskMetrics vote recommendation, the Proxy
Committee will review the issue and direct RiskMetrics how to vote the proxies as described below.
Proxy Voting for Fixed Income Assets and Stable Value Wrap Agreements
Some of Invescos fixed income clients hold interests in preferred stock of companies and some of
Invescos stable value clients are parties to wrap agreements. From time to time, companies that
have issued preferred stock or that are parties to wrap agreements request that Invescos clients
vote proxies on particular matters. RiskMetrics does not currently provide proxy analysis or vote
recommendations with respect to such proxy votes. Therefore, when a particular matter arises in
this category, the investment team responsible for the particular mandate will review the matter
and make a recommendation to the Proxy Manager as to how to vote the associated proxy. The Proxy
Manager will complete the proxy ballots and send the ballots to the persons or entities identified
in the ballots.
Proxy Committee
The Proxy Committee shall have seven (7) members, which shall include representatives from
portfolio management, operations, and legal/compliance or other functional departments as deemed
appropriate and who are knowledgeable regarding the proxy process. A majority of the members of
the Proxy Committee shall constitute a quorum and the Proxy Committee shall act by a majority vote
of those members in attendance at a meeting called for the purpose of determining how to vote a
particular proxy. The Proxy Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings that shall be kept with
the proxy voting records of Invesco. The Proxy Committee will appoint a Proxy Manager to manage
the proxy voting process, which includes the voting of proxies and the maintenance of appropriate
records.
The Proxy Manager shall call for a meeting of the Proxy Committee (1) when override submissions are
made; and (2) in instances when RiskMetrics has recused itself or has not provided a vote
recommendation with respect to an equity security. At such meeting, the Proxy Committee shall
determine how proxies are to be voted in accordance with the factors set forth in the section
entitled Best Economic Interests of Clients, above.
The Proxy Committee also is responsible for monitoring adherence to these procedures and engaging
in the annual review described in the section entitled RiskMetrics Services, above.
Recusal by RiskMetrics or Failure of RiskMetrics to Make a Recommendation
When RiskMetrics does not make a recommendation on a proxy voting issue or recuses itself due to a
conflict of interest, the Proxy Committee will review the issue and determine whether Invesco has a
material conflict of interest as determined pursuant to the policies and procedures outlined in the
Conflicts of Interest section below. If Invesco determines it does not have a material conflict
of interest, Invesco will direct RiskMetrics how to vote the proxies. If Invesco determines it
does have a material conflict of interest, the Proxy Committee will follow the policies and
procedures set forth in such section.
Override of RiskMetrics Recommendation
There may be occasions where Invesco investment personnel, senior officers or a member of the Proxy
Committee seek to override a RiskMetrics recommendation if they believe that a RiskMetrics
recommendation is not in accordance with the best economic interests of clients. In the event that
an individual listed above in this section disagrees with a RiskMetrics recommendation on a
particular voting issue, the individual shall document in writing the reasons that he/she believes
that the RiskMetrics recommendation is not in accordance with clients best economic interests and
submit such written documentation to the Proxy Manager for consideration by the Proxy Committee
along with the certification attached as Appendix A hereto. Upon review of the documentation and
consultation with the individual and others as the Proxy Committee deems appropriate, the Proxy
Committee may make a determination to override the RiskMetrics voting recommendation if the
Committee determines that it is in the best economic interests of clients and the Committee has
addressed any conflict of interest.
Proxy Committee Meetings
When a Proxy Committee Meeting is called, whether because of a RiskMetrics recusal or request for
override of a RiskMetrics recommendation, the Proxy Committee shall request from the Chief
Compliance Officer as to whether any Invesco person has reported a conflict of interest.
The Proxy Committee shall review the report from the Chief Compliance Officer to determine whether
a real or perceived conflict of interest exists, and the minutes of the Proxy Committee shall:
|
(1) |
|
describe any real or perceived conflict of interest, |
|
|
(2) |
|
determine whether such real or perceived conflict of interest is material, |
|
|
(3) |
|
discuss any procedure used to address such conflict of interest, |
|
|
(4) |
|
report any contacts from outside parties (other than routine communications
from proxy solicitors), and |
|
|
(5) |
|
include confirmation that the recommendation as to how the proxies are to be
voted is in the best economic interests of clients and was made without regard to any
conflict of interest. |
Based on the above review and determinations, the Proxy Committee will direct RiskMetrics how to
vote the proxies as provided herein.
Certain Proxy Votes May Not Be Cast
In some cases, Invesco may determine that it is not in the best economic interests of clients to
vote proxies. For example, proxy voting in certain countries outside
the United States requires share blocking. Shareholders who wish to vote their proxies must
deposit their shares 7 to 21 days before the date of the meeting with a designated depositary.
During the blocked period, shares to be voted at the meeting cannot be sold until the meeting has
taken place and the shares have been returned to the Custodian/Sub-Custodian bank. In addition,
voting certain international securities may involve unusual costs to clients, some of which may be
related to requirements of having a representative in person attend the proxy meeting. In other
cases, it may not be possible to vote certain proxies despite good faith efforts to do so, for
instance when inadequate notice of the matter is provided. In the instance of loan securities,
voting of proxies typically requires termination of the loan, so it is not usually in the best
economic interests of clients to vote proxies on loaned securities. Invesco typically will not,
but reserves the right to, vote where share blocking restrictions, unusual costs or other barriers
to efficient voting apply. Invesco will not vote if it determines that the cost of voting exceeds
the expected benefit to the client. The Proxy Manager shall record the reason for any proxy not
being voted, which record shall be kept with the proxy voting records of Invesco.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Procedures to Address Conflicts of Interest and Improper Influence
In order to avoid voting proxies in circumstances where Invesco or any of its affiliates have or
may have any conflict of interest, real or perceived, Invesco has contracted with RiskMetrics to
provide proxy analyses, vote recommendations and voting of proxies. Unless noted otherwise by
RiskMetrics, each vote recommendation provided by RiskMetrics to Invesco shall include a
representation from RiskMetrics that RiskMetrics has no conflict of interest with respect to the
vote. In instances where RiskMetrics has recused itself or makes no recommendation on a particular
matter, or if an override submission is requested, the Proxy Committee shall determine how to vote
the proxy and instruct the Proxy Manager accordingly, in which case the conflict of interest
provisions discussed below shall apply.
In effecting the policy of voting proxies in the best economic interests of clients, there may be
occasions where the voting of such proxies may present a real or perceived conflict of interest
between Invesco, as the investment manager, and Invescos clients. For each director, officer and
employee of Invesco (Invesco person), the interests of Invescos clients must come first, ahead
of the interest of Invesco and any Invesco person, including Invescos affiliates. Accordingly, no
Invesco person may put personal benefit, whether tangible or intangible, before the interests of
clients of Invesco or otherwise take advantage of the relationship with Invescos clients.
Personal benefit includes any intended benefit for oneself or any other individual, company,
group or organization of any kind whatsoever, except a benefit for a client of Invesco, as
appropriate. It is imperative that each Invesco person avoid any situation that might compromise,
or call into question, the exercise of fully independent judgment that is in the interests of
Invescos clients.
Occasions may arise where a person or organization involved in the proxy voting process may have a
conflict of interest. A conflict of interest may exist if Invesco has a business relationship with
(or is actively soliciting business from) either the company soliciting the proxy or a third party
that has a material interest in the outcome of a proxy vote or that is actively lobbying for a
particular outcome of a proxy vote. Additional examples of situations where a conflict may exist
include:
|
|
|
Business Relationships where Invesco manages money for a company or an
employee group, manages pension assets or is actively soliciting any such business, or
leases office space from a company; |
|
|
|
|
Personal Relationships where an Invesco person has a personal
relationship with other proponents of proxy proposals, participants in proxy contests,
corporate directors, or candidates for directorships; and |
|
|
|
|
Familial Relationships where an Invesco person has a known familial
relationship relating to a company (e.g. a spouse or other relative who serves as a
director of a public company or is employed by the company). |
In the event that the Proxy Committee determines that Invesco (or an affiliate) has a material
conflict of interest, the Proxy Committee will not take into consideration the relationship giving
rise to the conflict of interest and shall, in its sole discretion, either (a) decide to vote the
proxies pursuant to RiskMetrics general proxy voting guidelines, (b) engage an independent third
party to provide a vote recommendation, or (c) contact Invescos client(s) for direction as to how
to vote the proxies.
In the event an Invesco person has a conflict of interest and has knowledge of such conflict of
interest, it is the responsibility of such Invesco person to disclose the conflict to the Chief
Compliance Officer. When a Proxy Committee meeting is called, the Chief Compliance Officer will
report to the Proxy Committee all real or potential conflicts of interest for the Proxy Committee
to review and determine whether such conflict is material. If the Proxy Committee determines that
such conflict is material and involves a person involved in the proxy voting process, the Proxy
Committee may require such person to recuse himself or herself from participating in the
discussions regarding the proxy vote item and from casting a vote regarding how Invesco should vote
such proxy. An Invesco person will not be considered to have a material conflict of interest if
the Invesco person did not know of the conflict of interest and did not attempt to influence the
outcome of a proxy vote.
In order to ensure compliance with these procedures, the Proxy Manager and each member of the Proxy
Committee shall certify annually as to their compliance with this policy. In addition, any Invesco
person who submits a RiskMetrics override recommendation to the Proxy Committee shall certify as to
their compliance with this policy concurrently with the submission of their override
recommendation. A form of such certification is attached as Appendix A.
In addition, members of the Proxy Committee must notify Invescos Chief Compliance Officer, with
impunity and without fear of retribution or retaliation, of any direct, indirect or perceived
improper influence exerted by any Invesco person or by an affiliated companys representatives with
regard to how Invesco should vote proxies. The Chief Compliance Officer will investigate the
allegations and will report his or her findings to the Invesco Risk Management Committee. In the
event that it is determined that improper influence was exerted, the Risk Management Committee will
determine the appropriate action to take, which actions may include, but are not limited to, (1)
notifying the affiliated companys Chief Executive Officer, its Management Committee or Board of
Directors, (2) taking remedial action, if necessary, to correct the result of any improper
influence where clients have been harmed, or (3) notifying the appropriate regulatory agencies of
the improper influence and cooperating fully with these regulatory agencies as required. In all
cases, the Proxy Committee shall not take into consideration the improper influence in determining
how to vote proxies and will vote proxies solely in the best economic interests of clients.
C. RECORDKEEPING
Records are maintained in accordance with Invescos Recordkeeping Policy.
Proxy Voting Records
The proxy voting statements and records will be maintained by the Proxy Manager on-site (or
accessible via an electronic storage site of RiskMetrics) for the first two (2) years. Copies of
the proxy voting statements and records will be maintained for an additional five (5) years by
Invesco (or will be accessible via an electronic storage site of RiskMetrics). Clients may obtain
information about how Invesco voted proxies on their behalf by contacting their client services
representative. Alternatively, clients may make a written request for proxy voting information to:
Proxy Manager, 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309.

Invescos portfolio managers develop investment models which are used in connection with the
management of certain Invesco Funds as well as other mutual funds for which Invesco or an affiliate
acts as sub-adviser, other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered mutual funds, and
other accounts managed for organizations and individuals. The Investments chart reflects the
portfolio managers investments in the Funds that they manage. Accounts are grouped into three
categories: (i) investments made directly in the Fund, (ii) investments made in an Invesco pooled
investment vehicle with the same or similar objectives and strategies as the Fund, and (iii) any
investments made in any Invesco Fund or Invesco pooled investment vehicle. The Assets Managed
chart reflects information regarding accounts other than the Funds for which each portfolio manager
has day-to-day management responsibilities. Accounts are grouped into three categories: (i) other
registered investment companies, (ii) other pooled investment vehicles and (iii) other accounts.
To the extent that any of these accounts pay advisory fees that are based on account performance
(performance-based fees), information on those accounts is specifically broken out. In addition,
any assets denominated in foreign currencies have been converted into U.S. Dollars using the
exchange rates as of the applicable date.

Potential Conflicts of Interest
Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day
management responsibilities with respect to more than one Fund or other account. More
specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple Funds and/or other accounts may be presented
with one or more of the following potential conflicts:
Ø |
|
The management of multiple Funds and/or other accounts may result
in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the
management of each Fund and/or other account. The Adviser and
each Sub-Adviser seek to manage such competing interests for the
time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio
managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most other
accounts managed by a portfolio manager are managed using the same
investment models that are used in connection with the management
of the Funds. |
|
Ø |
|
If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity
which may be suitable for more than one Fund or other account, a
Fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity
due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all
eligible Funds and other accounts. To deal with these situations,
the Adviser, each Sub-Adviser and the Funds have adopted
procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across multiple
accounts. |
|
Ø |
|
The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser determine which broker to use to
execute each order for securities transactions for the Funds,
consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the
transaction. However, for certain other accounts (such as mutual
funds for which Invesco or an affiliate acts as sub-adviser, other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered
mutual funds, and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals), the Adviser and
each Sub-Adviser may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may
be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, trades for a Fund
in a particular security may be placed separately from, rather than aggregated with, such other
accounts. Having separate transactions with respect to a security may temporarily affect the
market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the possible
detriment of the Fund or other account(s) involved. |
|
Ø |
|
Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where the Adviser or
Sub-Adviser has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the
management of one Fund or account but not all Funds and accounts for which a portfolio manager
has day-to-day management responsibilities. |
The Adviser, each Sub-Adviser, and the Funds have adopted certain compliance procedures which
are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such
procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.
Description of Compensation Structure
For the Adviser and each affiliated Sub-Adviser
The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser seek to maintain a compensation program that is competitively
positioned to attract and retain high-caliber investment professionals. Portfolio managers receive
a base salary, an incentive bonus opportunity and an equity compensation opportunity. Portfolio
manager compensation is reviewed and may be modified each year as appropriate to reflect changes in
the market, as well as to adjust the factors used to determine bonuses to promote competitive Fund
performance. The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser evaluate competitive market compensation by reviewing
compensation survey results conducted by an independent third party of investment industry
compensation. Each portfolio managers compensation consists of the following three elements:
Base Salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary. In setting the base salary, the
Adviser and each Sub-Advisers intention is to be competitive in light of the particular portfolio
managers experience and responsibilities.
Annual Bonus. The portfolio managers are eligible, along with other employees of the Adviser
and each Sub-Adviser, to participate in a discretionary year-end bonus pool. The Compensation
Committee of Invesco Ltd. reviews and approves the amount of the bonus pool available for the
Adviser and each of the Sub-Advisers investment centers. The Compensation Committee considers
investment performance and financial results in its review. In addition, while having no direct
impact on individual bonuses, assets under management are considered when determining the starting
bonus funding levels. Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus which is
based on quantitative (i.e. investment performance) and non-quantitative factors (which may
include, but are not limited to, individual performance, risk management and teamwork).
Each portfolio managers compensation is linked to the pre-tax investment performance of the
Funds/accounts managed by the portfolio manager as described in Table 1 below.

Portfolio Managers for Invesco Pacific
Growth Funds compensation is based on the one-, three- and five-year
performance against the appropriate Micropol benchmark. |
High investment performance (against applicable peer group and/or benchmarks) would deliver
compensation generally associated with top pay in the industry (determined by reference to the
third-party provided compensation survey information) and poor investment performance (versus
applicable peer group) would result in low bonus compared to the applicable peer group or no bonus
at all. These decisions are reviewed and approved collectively by senior leadership which has
responsibility for executing the compensation approach across the organization.
Equity-Based Compensation. Portfolio managers may be granted an annual deferral award that
allows them to select receipt of shares of certain Invesco Funds with a vesting period as well as
common shares and/or restricted shares of Invesco Ltd. stock from pools determined from time to
time by the Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd.s Board of Directors. Awards of equity-based
compensation typically vest over time, so as to create incentives to retain key talent.
Portfolio managers also participate in benefit plans and programs available generally to all
employees.
