Invesco provides Canadian investors with unprecedented access

Introducing Invesco Intactive Portfolios

TORONTO, Sept. 16 /CNW/ - Invesco Trimark today introduces an investment solution designed to provide investors with access to many benefits, including one of the most precious commodities of all: peace of mind. In light of today's widespread economic uncertainties, investors need to feel confident that their portfolio is built to withstand constantly changing environments and volatile markets.

As announced on August 11, Invesco Trimark Dialogue Portfolios and Invesco Trimark Retirement Payout Portfolios have been redesigned and renamed Invesco Intactive Accumulation Portfolios and Invesco Intactive Target Date Portfolios, respectively. Together they form Invesco Intactive Portfolios, a full suite of better built portfolios designed to help investors build, protect and enjoy their wealth.

"Being part of Invesco enables us to bring a sophisticated product like Invesco Intactive Portfolios to the Canadian marketplace," said Jamie Kingston, Senior Vice President of Product Management and Development at Invesco Trimark, a subsidiary of Invesco. With over US$550 billion* in assets under management, Invesco is one of the world's largest independent investment managers. "By bringing together specialized investment capabilities from around the world of Invesco in a single investment solution, we can effectively address the evolving needs of investors."

Invesco Intactive™ provides access to:

• Portfolios diversified for different economic environments, seeking to provide better protection against inflationary and recessionary markets and to capitalize on opportunities in non-inflationary markets
• Strategic asset allocation to build better portfolios through complementary investment styles, asset classes and geography
• Tactical asset allocation on a portion of Invesco Intactive Accumulation Portfolios
• Currency hedging^† to reduce the risks of investing beyond Canada
• A true combination of professionally managed mutual funds and index-based strategies, including PowerShares^® Funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The result is simply a better built portfolio at a low cost to investors

^† Invesco Intactive Accumulation Portfolios hedge approximately half of the foreign currency exposure. Invesco Intactive Target Date Portfolios seek to hedge substantially all foreign currency exposure.

The Invesco Intactive Accumulation Portfolios and Invesco Intactive Target Date Portfolios are Invesco Trimark mutual funds that invest in a portfolio of underlying Invesco Trimark mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. A Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its net assets in gold, silver, derivatives with an underlying interest in gold or silver, and exchange-traded funds that invest, directly or indirectly, in gold or silver. The Portfolios are seeking relief from the Canadian securities regulatory authorities to increase this limit to 20%. Tactical asset allocation strategies are used on a portion of the Invesco Intactive Accumulation Portfolios. Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses may all be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
