Invesco Global Equity Income Fund
A core global fund with a focus on dividends and capital growth
Important Information
-
- The Fund invests primarily in global equities.
- Investors should note the currency exchange risk, equities risk, volatility risk, and general investment risk.
- Financial derivative instruments (FDI) may be used for efficient portfolio management purposes or to hedge or reduce the overall risk of investments. Risks associated with FDI include counterparty/credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, volatility risk and over-the-counter transaction risk. The leverage element/component of a FDI can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested in the FDI by the Fund. Exposure to FDI may lead to a high risk of significant loss by the Fund.
- For certain share class(es), the Fund may at discretion pay dividend out of the capital and/or effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any such distributions may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share in respect of such share class after the monthly distribution date. (Note 1)
- In addition, investors of Monthly Distribution-1 share class that are currency hedged (MD-1 hedged) should be aware of the uncertainty of relative interest rates. The net asset value of the MD-1 hedged may fluctuate and may significantly differ from other share class due to fluctuation of the interest rate differential between the currency in which the MD-1 hedged is denominated and the base currency of the Fund and may result in a greater erosion of capital than other non-hedged share class. (Note 2)
- The value of the Fund can be volatile and could go down substantially.
- Investors should not base their investment decision on this material alone.

A combination of income and growth
In the past year, there was a negative correlation between dividend yield and total return.* Therefore, pure focus on high dividend paying stocks could have a negative impact on total returns.
We believe that investing in both companies that have a history of growing dividends and companies that have a lower yield but can reinvest at attractive rates of return could potentially lead to higher total returns.

A balanced portfolio with no significant style or factor bias
Dividend funds typically overweight dividend sectors such as communication services, financials, and utilities. The dividend-first approach creates a bias towards value.
Our fund adopts a balanced approach of taking both yields and growth potential into consideration.
