FAQ

Get timely answers to important questions regarding this product.

The income produced by municipal bonds is typically exempt from income taxes at the federal level. Municipal bonds may also be exempt from state and local taxes based on where the investor resides.

Our high conviction approach to investing aims to deliver a highly competitive yield by exploiting anomalies that exist in the high yield municipal market.  The Invesco Municipal Bond team employs a bottom-up, research-oriented approach to generate income-driven total return. Our experienced credit research staff works to uncover value in non-rated bonds, which may offer the potential for higher yield and total return.  

Municipalities have two main reasons for issuing bonds without a credit rating. First, some issues are of higher quality but the rating is foregone because the size or placement of the issue makes it uneconomical to pay for the rating. Second, many non-rated bonds would not meet the rating criteria of the rating agencies, or, if rated, would fall below investment grade (below triple-B).

The following share classes are offered for this fund: Class A, Class C, Class R5, Class R6, Class Y.
