Enhancements to Invesco Trimark's Dialogue Portfolios; Derivatives to be used
primarily for currency-hedging purposes

TORONTO, May 21 /CNW/ - Invesco Trimark today announces that starting on or about August 11, 2010, the Dialogue Portfolios will commence using derivatives primarily for currency-hedging purposes. Initially, the Dialogue Portfolios will hedge approximately half of the currency exposure from securities of their underlying funds denominated in foreign currencies. This enhancement will seek to provide investors with reduced exposure on the hedged portion of the Portfolio to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations relative to the Canadian dollar, with the potential for greater risk-adjusted returns.

The currency hedging will be sub-advised by Invesco Asset Management Ltd, a subsidiary of Invesco. This team currently provides hedging for the Invesco Trimark Retirement Payout Portfolios, three Invesco Trimark currency-neutral Private Pools and the currency-hedged Series H of certain Invesco Trimark funds.

"This enhancement to the Portfolios represents just one of the many ways Invesco Trimark is able to draw on the expertise of Invesco's global investment management capabilities to benefit Canadian investors," said Jamie Kingston, SVP Product Management and Development. "Financial advisors from across Canada have expressed to us their desire to mitigate foreign currency risk for their clients, particularly in fund-of-fund solutions. We're listening."

Each Portfolio will continue to be managed with a fund-of-fund approach and remain within the broad asset allocations as disclosed in the Simplified Prospectus. The following portfolios will receive these enhancements:

    
    Invesco Trimark Dialogue Income Portfolio
    Invesco Trimark Dialogue Income with Growth Portfolio
    Invesco Trimark Dialogue Growth with Income Portfolio
    Invesco Trimark Dialogue Growth Portfolio
    Invesco Trimark Dialogue Long-Term Growth Portfolio
