JOINT PROXY STATEMENT

INVESCO VAN KAMPEN CLOSED-END FUNDS

1555 Peachtree Street, N.E. Atlanta, GA 30309

JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

July 16, 2010

link1 "INTRODUCTION" INTRODUCTION

This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the respective Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) of each of the Invesco Van Kampen Closed-End Funds listed on Annex A to this Joint Proxy Statement (the “Funds”) of proxies to be voted at a Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Funds, and all adjournments thereof (the “Meeting”), to be held at 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2500, Houston, TX 77046-1173, on July 16, 2010, at 3:00 p.m. The Meeting will be an annual meeting for each Fund. The approximate mailing date of this Joint Proxy Statement and accompanying form of proxy is June 16, 2010.

Participating in the Meeting are holders of common shares of beneficial interest (the “Common Shares”) and, where applicable, the holders of preferred shares of beneficial interest (the “Preferred Shares”) of each of the Funds as set forth in Annex A to this Joint Proxy Statement. The Common Shares and the Preferred Shares of the Funds sometimes are referred to herein collectively as the “Shares.” The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the shareholders of the Funds because the shareholders of the Funds are expected to consider and vote on similar matters. The Board has determined that the use of a joint proxy statement for the Meeting is in the best interest of the shareholders of each of the Funds. In the event that a shareholder of any Fund present at the Meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for an adjournment of the meeting of such Fund to a time immediately after the Meeting so that such Fund’s meeting may be held separately, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of the adjournment.

Annex A lists the abbreviated name and stock symbol by which the Funds sometimes are referred to in this Joint Proxy Statement. Please refer to Annex A for any questions you may have regarding whether your Fund is participating at the Meeting, defined terms relating to the Funds and abbreviated Fund names.

The Board has fixed the close of business on May 28, 2010 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of holders of Shares of each Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting. The number of issued and outstanding Common Shares and Preferred

XBRL Paragraph Pagebreak XBRL Pagebreak Begin

Shares of each Fund as of the Record Date is shown in Annex B to this Joint Proxy Statement.

The following table summarizes the proposals to be presented at the Meeting and the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the proposals.

Proposal/Affected Funds Affected Shareholders
1. Election of Trustees:
(a) With respect to VKI, VCV, VPV and VMV, to elect
— two Class II Trustees, each by holders of
Common Shares of each such Fund Common
— one Class II Trustee by holders of Preferred
Shares of each such Fund Preferred
(b) With respect to VGM, VTJ, VIM, VTN, VOQ VKQ, VMO and VVR,
to elect
— three Class III Trustees, each by holders of
Common Shares of each such Fund Common
— one Class III Trustee by holders of Preferred
Shares of such Fund Preferred
(c) With respect to VTA, VLT and VBF, to elect
— four Class III Trustees, each by holders of
Common Shares of each such Fund Common
(d) With respect to VKL, to elect
— four Class I Trustees, each by holders of
Common Shares of such Fund Common

Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its most recent annual report (and the most recent semiannual report succeeding the annual report, if any) to any shareholder upon request. Any such request should be directed to the respective Fund by calling 1-800-341-2929 Option 2 or by writing to the respective Fund at 11 Greenway Plaza, Houston, TX 77046-1173.

Voting

Shareholders of a Fund on the Record Date are entitled to one vote per Share with respect to any proposal submitted to the shareholders of the Fund, with no Share having cumulative voting rights. The voting requirement for passage of a particular proposal depends on the nature of the proposal.

With respect to Proposal 1(a) through (d), holders of Common Shares and Preferred Shares, where applicable, will vote as separate classes for the respective nominee(s) to be elected by such class of Shares. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the Common Shares of a Fund present at the Meeting in person or by proxy is required to elect each nominee for Trustee of such Fund designated to be elected by the holders of the Common Shares of such Fund. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the Preferred Shares of a Fund present at the Meeting in person or by proxy is required to elect such nominee for Trustee of such Fund designated to be elected by the holders of the

XBRL Paragraph Pagebreak XBRL Pagebreak Begin

END PAGE WIDTH PAGEBREAK

BEGIN PAGE WIDTH XBRL Pagebreak End

Preferred Shares of such Fund. Election by plurality means those persons who receive the highest number of votes cast “FOR” up to the total number of persons to be elected as Trustees at the Meeting shall be elected.

The Board of Trustees of each Fund recommends that you cast your vote FOR ALL of the nominees for the Board of Trustees listed in the Joint Proxy Statement.

An unfavorable vote on a proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of such proposal by another Fund if the proposal is approved by the shareholders of the other Fund. An unfavorable vote on a proposal by the shareholders of a Fund will not affect such Fund’s implementation of other proposals that receive a favorable vote. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of Trustees.

All Shares represented by properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Proxies received prior to the Meeting on which no vote is indicated will be voted “FOR” each proposal as to which they are entitled to be voted. Abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., where a nominee, such as a broker, holding shares for beneficial owners responds but does not vote on a proposal because the nominee lacks beneficial owner direction or does not exercise discretionary authority) are not treated as votes “FOR” a proposal. With respect to Proposal 1(a) through (d), abstentions and broker non-votes are disregarded since only votes “FOR” are considered in a plurality voting requirement. A majority of the outstanding Shares of a Fund entitled to vote must be present in person or by proxy to have a quorum for such Fund to conduct business at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be deemed present for quorum purposes.

Shareholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing with the respective Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

The Funds know of no business other than that mentioned in Proposal 1 of the Notice that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented, it is the intention of the persons named on the enclosed proxy to vote proxies in accordance with their best judgment. In the event a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposals with respect to one or more Funds or proposals are not received, proxies (including abstentions and broker non-votes) would be voted in favor of one or more adjournments of the Meeting of the concerned Fund with respect to such proposal to permit further solicitation of proxies, provided they determine that such an adjournment and additional solicitation is reasonable and in the interest of shareholders based on a consideration of all relevant factors, including the nature of the relevant proposal, the percentage of votes then cast, the percentage of negative votes then cast, the nature of the proposed solicitation activities and the nature of the reasons for such further solicitation.

link1 "PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES" PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

Trustees are to be elected by the shareholders at the Meeting in the following manner:

(a) With respect to VKI, VCV, VPV and VMV, three Class II Trustees are to be elected at the Meeting, to serve until the later of each such Fund’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2013 or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Previously, Linda Hutton Heagy had been designated to be elected by holders of Common Shares and Rod Dammeyer had been designated to be elected by holders of Preferred Shares; at the Meeting, each of the above referenced Funds has designated Linda Hutton Heagy to be elected by holders of Preferred Shares of such Funds and Rod Dammeyer to be elected by holders of Common Shares of such Funds, each to serve for a

BEGIN PAGE WIDTH XBRL Pagebreak End

three year term or until a successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Thus, holders of Common Shares, voting as a separate class, will vote with respect to two Class II Trustees (Rod Dammeyer and Wayne W. Whalen) designated to be elected by such class of shares. Holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, will vote with respect to one Class II Trustee (Linda Hutton Heagy) designated to be elected by such class of shares. An affirmative vote of a plurality of the Common Shares of each such Fund and a plurality of the Preferred Shares of each such Fund is required to elect the respective nominees. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the Shares represented by them for the election of the respective nominees listed unless the proxy is marked otherwise.

(b) With respect to VGM, VTJ, VIM, VTN, VOQ, VKQ, VMO and VVR, four Class III Trustees are to be elected at the Meeting, to serve until the later of each such Fund’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2013 or until a successor has been duly elected and qualified. Holders of Common Shares, voting as a separate class, will vote with respect to three Class III Trustees (R. Craig Kennedy, Jack E. Nelson and Colin D. Meadows) designated to be elected by such class of shares. Holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, will vote with respect to one Class III Trustee (Hugo F. Sonnenschein) designated to be elected by such class of shares. An affirmative vote of a plurality of the Common Shares of each such Fund and a plurality of the Preferred Shares of each such Fund is required to elect the respective nominees. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the Shares represented by them for the election of the respective nominees listed unless the proxy is marked otherwise.

(c) With respect to VTA, VLT and VBF, four Class III Trustees are to be elected at the Meeting, to serve until the later of each such Fund’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2013 or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Previously, Hugo F. Sonnenschein had been designated to be elected by holders of Preferred Shares of VLT; at the meeting, VLT has designated Hugo F. Sonnenschein to be elected by holders of Common Shares of VLT since there are currently no outstanding Preferred Shares of VLT to serve for a three year term or until a successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Thus, holders of Common Shares, voting as a separate class, will vote with respect to four Class III Trustees (R. Craig Kennedy, Jack E. Nelson, Colin D. Meadows and Hugo F. Sonnenschein) designated to be elected by such class of shares. An affirmative vote of a plurality of the Common Shares of each such Fund is required to elect the respective nominees. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the Shares represented by them for the election of the nominees listed unless the proxy is marked otherwise.

(d) With respect to VKL, four Class I Trustees are to be elected at the Meeting, to serve until the later of such Fund’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2013 or until a successor has been duly elected and qualified. Holders of Common Shares, voting as a separate class, will vote with respect to four Class I Trustees (David C. Arch, Jerry D. Choate, Howard J Kerr and Suzanne H. Woolsey) designated to be elected by such class of shares. An affirmative vote of a plurality of the Common Shares of such Fund is required to elect the respective nominees. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the Shares represented by them for the election of the respective nominees listed unless the proxy is marked otherwise.

As in the past, only one class of Trustees is being submitted to shareholders of each Fund for election at the Meeting. The Declaration of Trust of each Fund provides that the Board of Trustees shall consist of Trustees divided into three classes, the classes to be as nearly equal in number as possible. For each Fund, the Trustees of only one class are elected at each annual meeting so that the regular term of only one class of Trustees will expire annually and any particular Trustee stands for election only once in each three-year period. This type of classification may prevent replacement of a majority of Trustees of a Fund for up to a two-year period. The foregoing is subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, applicable state law based on the state of organization of each Fund, each Fund’s Declaration of Trust and each Fund’s Bylaws.

Board Qualifications, Diversity and Leadership Structure

The management of the Invesco Van Kampen Funds seeks to provide investors with disciplined investment teams, a research-driven culture, careful long-term perspective, and a legacy of experience. Consistent with these goals, the Board overseeing the Invesco Van Kampen Funds seeks to provide shareholders with a highly qualified, highly capable and diverse group of Board members reflecting the diversity of investor interests underlying the Invesco Van Kampen Funds and with a diversity of backgrounds, experience and skills that the Board considers desirable and necessary to its primary goal — protecting and promoting shareholders’ interests. While the Board does not require that its members meet specific qualifications, the Board has historically sought to recruit and continues to value individual Board members that add to the overall diversity of the Board — the objective is to bring varied backgrounds, experience and skills reflective of the wide range of the shareholder base and provide both contrasting and complementary skills relative to the other Board members to best protect and promote shareholders’ interests. Board diversity means bringing together different viewpoints, professional experience, investment experience, education, and other skills. As can be seen in the individual biographies above, the Board brings together a wide variety of business experience (including chairman/chief executive officer-level and director-level experience, including board committee experience, of several different types of organizations); varied public and private investment-related experience; not-for-profit experience; customer service and other back office operations experience; a wide variety of accounting, finance, legal, and marketing experience; academic experience; consulting experience; and government, political and military service experience. All of this experience together results in important leadership and management knowledge, skills and perspective that provide the Board understanding and insight into the operations of the Funds and add range and depth to the Board. As part of its governance oversight, the Board conducts an annual self-effectiveness survey which includes, among other things, evaluating the Board’s (and each committee’s) agendas, meetings and materials, conduct of the meetings, committee structures, interaction with management, strategic planning, etc., and also includes evaluating the Board’s (and each committee’s) size, composition, qualifications (including diversity of characteristics, experience and subject matter expertise) and overall performance. The Board evaluates all of the foregoing and does not believe any single factor or group of factors controls or dominates the qualifications of any individual trustee or the qualifications of the trustees as a group. After considering all factors together, the Board believes that each Trustee is qualified to serve as a Trustee of the Invesco Van Kampen Funds. For more information about the backgrounds, experience, and skills of each Trustee, see the individual biographies above.

The Board’s leadership structure consists of a Chairman of the Board and three standing committees, each described below (and ad hoc committees when necessary), with each committee staffed by Independent Trustees and an Independent Trustee as Committee Chairman. The Chairman of the Board is not the principal executive officer

XBRL Paragraph Pagebreak XBRL Pagebreak Begin

END PAGE WIDTH PAGEBREAK

BEGIN PAGE WIDTH XBRL Pagebreak End

of the Funds. The Chairman of the Board is not an “interested person” (as that term is defined by the 1940 Act) of the Adviser. However, the Chairman of the Board is an “interested person” (as that term is defined by the 1940 Act) of the Funds for the reasons described above in the Trustee biographies. The Board, including the independent trustees, periodically reviews the Board’s leadership structure for the Invesco Van Kampen Funds, including the interested person status of the Chairman, and has concluded the leadership structure is appropriate for the Funds. In considering the chairman position, the Board has considered and/or reviewed (i) the Funds’ organizational documents, (ii) the role of a chairman (including, among other things, setting the agenda and managing information flow, running the meeting and setting the proper tone), (iii) the background, experience and skills of the Chairman (including his independence from the Adviser), (iv) alternative structures (including combined principal executive officer/chairman, selecting one of the Independent Trustees as chairman and/or appointing an independent lead trustee), (v) rule proposals in recent years that would have required all fund complexes to have an independent chairman, (vi) the Chairman’s past and current performance, and (vii) the potential conflicts of interest of the Chairman (and noted their periodic review as part of their annual self-effectiveness survey and as part of an independent annual review by the Funds’ audit committee of fund legal fees related to such potential conflict). In conclusion, the Board and the Independent Trustees have expressed their continuing support of Mr. Whalen as Chairman.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

As noted above, the management of the fund complex seeks to provide investors with disciplined investment teams, a research-driven culture, careful long-term perspective and a legacy of experience. Thus, the goal for each fund is attractive long-term performance consistent with the objectives and investment policies and risks for such fund, which in turn means, among other things, good security selection, reasonable costs and quality shareholder services. An important sub-component of delivering this goal is risk management — understanding, monitoring and controlling the various risks in making investment decisions at the individual security level as well as portfolio management decisions at the overall fund level. The key participants in the risk management process of the Funds are each fund’s portfolio managers, the Adviser’s senior management, the Adviser’s risk management group, the Adviser’s compliance group, the Funds’ chief compliance officer, and the various support functions (i.e. the custodian, the Funds’ accountants (internal and external), and legal counsel). While funds are subject to other risks such as valuation, custodial, accounting, shareholder servicing, etc., a fund’s primary risk is understanding, monitoring and controlling the various risks in making portfolio management decisions consistent with the fund’s objective and policies. The Board’s role is oversight of management’s risk management process. At regular quarterly meetings, the Board reviews Fund performance and factors, including risks, affecting such performance by fund with the Adviser’s senior

XBRL Paragraph Pagebreak XBRL Pagebreak Begin

BEGIN PAGE WIDTH XBRL Pagebreak End

management, and the Board typically meets at least once a year with the portfolio managers of each fund. At regular quarterly meetings, the Board reviews reports showing monitoring done by the Adviser’s risk management group, by the Adviser’s compliance group, the Funds’ chief compliance officer and reports from the Funds’ support functions.

Remuneration of Trustees

The compensation of Trustees and executive officers that are affiliated persons (as defined in 1940 Act) of the Adviser is paid by the respective affiliated entity. The Funds pay the non-affiliated Trustees an annual retainer and meeting fees for services to such funds.

Each Trustee has served as a member of each Fund’s Board of Trustees since the year of such Trustee’s appointment or election as set forth on Annex C to this Proxy Statement.

Additional information regarding compensation and benefits for Trustees is set forth below. As indicated in the notes accompanying the table, the amounts relate to either the respective Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year ended in 2009 or the most recently completed calendar year ended December 31, 2009.

deferred compensation plan is shown in Annex D. Certain Trustees deferred all or a portion of the aggregate compensation payable by each Fund for its most recently completed fiscal year ended in 2009 as shown in Annex E. The deferred compensation plan allowed trustees to defer receipt of compensation so that amounts deferred were retained by the respective Fund and earned a rate of return determined by reference to either the return on the Common Shares of the Fund or the common shares of other funds in the Fund Complex as selected by the respective Trustee. To the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the Fund invested in securities of these funds selected by the Trustees in order to match the deferred compensation obligation. The cumulative deferred compensation (including earnings accrued thereon for each trustee) for each Fund as of the end of its most recently completed fiscal year ended in 2009 is shown in Annex F.

represent the sum of the retirement benefits accrued by the
operating funds in the Fund Complex for each of the trustees for
the funds’ respective fiscal years ended in 2009. Each Fund
had previously adopted a retirement plan. Under the retirement
plan, a non-affiliated Trustee who had been receiving
Trustee’s compensation from a Fund prior to such
non-affiliated Trustee’s retirement, had at least
10 years of service (including years of service prior to
adoption of the retirement plan) for such Fund and retires at or
after attaining the age of 60, was eligible to receive a
retirement benefit each year for ten years following such
Trustee’s retirement from such Fund. Non-affiliated
Trustees retiring prior to the age of 60 or with fewer than
10 years but more than 5 years of service were
entitled to reduced retirement benefits from a Fund. |

retirement. The retirement plan that had previously been in
place is described above. |

Board of the Funds and the Boards of many of other funds

including deferred compensation plans and retirement plans,
across all of those Boards and their respective underlying
funds. Other than the new member added to the Board on
June 1, 2010, the other members of the Board of the Funds
did not change, however, the Boards of most of the other funds
formerly advised by Van Kampen Asset Management did change and
in connection with these changes, among other things, the Fund
terminated its deferred compensation plan and retirement plan
and paid out the amounts deferred and/or accrued on the Funds’ books through the date of such
termination and additional amounts not accrued to date in the
amount of the net present value of the benefits the Board
members would have received had they served until their normal
retirement date on all such funds plus an amount equal to taxes
on such payment. Such additional amounts payable to any Board
members were not borne by the Funds’ shareholders. |

Board Committees and Meetings

Each Fund’s Board of Trustees has three standing committees (an audit committee, a brokerage and services committee and a governance committee). Each committee is comprised solely of “Independent Trustees”, which is defined for purposes herein as trustees who: (1) are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined by the 1940 Act and (2) are “independent” of the respective Fund as defined by the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Chicago Stock Exchange listing standards.

Each Board’s audit committee consists of Messrs. Choate, Dammeyer and Kennedy. In addition to being Independent Trustees as defined above, each of these Trustees also meets the additional independence requirements for audit committee members as defined by the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Chicago Stock Exchange listing standards. The audit committee makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees concerning the selection of each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, reviews with such independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of each Fund’s annual audit and considers any comments which the independent registered public accounting firm may have regarding each Fund’s financial statements, accounting records or internal controls. Each Board of Trustees has adopted a formal written charter for the audit committee which sets forth the audit committee’s responsibilities. The audit committee charter for each of the Funds is available at www.invesco.com. The audit committee has reviewed and discussed the financial statements of each Fund with management as well as with the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund, and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed under the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61. The audit committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required under Independence Standard Board Standard No. 1 and has discussed with the independent registered public accountants their independence. Based on this review, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Trustees of each Fund that each Fund’s audited financial statements be included in each Fund’s annual report to shareholders for the most recent fiscal year for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Each member of the Fund’s audit committee is deemed an audit committee financial expert.

Each Board’s brokerage and services committee consists of Mesdames Heagy and Woolsey and Mr. Sonnenschein. The brokerage and services committee reviews each Fund’s allocation of brokerage transactions and soft-dollar practices and reviews the transfer agency and shareholder servicing arrangements.

Each Board’s governance committee consists of Messrs. Arch, Kerr and Nelson. In addition to being Independent Trustees as defined above, each of these Trustees also

meets the additional independence requirements for nominating committee members as defined by the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Chicago Stock Exchange listing standards. The governance committee identifies individuals qualified to serve as Independent Trustees on the Board and on committees of the Board, advises the Board with respect to Board composition, procedures and committees, develops and recommends to the Board a set of corporate governance principles applicable to the respective Fund, monitors corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board, and acts as the administrative committee with respect to Board policies and procedures, committee policies and procedures and codes of ethics. The governance committee charter for each of the Funds, which includes each Fund’s nominating policies, is available at www.invesco.com. The Independent Trustees of the respective Fund select and nominate any other nominee Independent Trustees for the respective Fund. While the Independent Trustees of the respective Fund expect to be able to continue to identify from their own resources an ample number of qualified candidates for the Board of Trustees as they deem appropriate, they will consider nominations from shareholders to the Board. Nominations from shareholders should be in writing and sent to the Independent Trustees as described below.

Shareholder Information

As of May 28, 2010, to the knowledge of the Funds, no shareholder owned beneficially more than 5% of a class of a Fund’s outstanding Shares except as set forth on Annex J. As of May 28, 2010, certain Trustees and executive officers owned, directly or beneficially, the number of Common Shares of each Fund as set forth in Annex G. Except as indicated on Annex G, as of May 28, 2010, the Trustees and executive officers of the Funds individually and as a group owned less than 1% of the outstanding Shares of each Fund. Trustees and executive officers who do not own any Common Shares of the Funds or Funds which are not owned by any Trustee or executive officers have been omitted from the table in Annex G. As of May 28, 2010, no Trustees or executive officers owned any Preferred Shares of the Funds. As of May 28, 2010, each Trustee beneficially owned equity securities of the Funds and other funds in the Fund Complex overseen by the Trustees in the dollar range amounts as specified in Annex H.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 30(f) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, require each of the Funds’ Trustees, officers, investment adviser, affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Fund’s equity securities to file forms with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange, as applicable, reporting their affiliation with the Fund and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of Fund Shares. These persons and entities are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Fund with copies of all such forms they file. Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund, each Fund believes that during its last fiscal year, its Trustees, officers, the Adviser and affiliated persons of the Adviser complied with the applicable filing requirements except as follows: Form 4 Filings relating to common shares of each of VKQ, VMO, VLT, VBF, and VKL on behalf of Craig Kennedy, a Trustee of the Funds, inadvertently was not filed in a timely manner; Form 4 Filings relating to common shares of VVR and VBF on behalf of Hugo F. Sonnenschein, a Trustee of the Funds, inadvertently was not filed in a timely manner; and a Form 4 Filing relating to common shares of VVR on behalf of Linda Hutton Heagy, a Trustee of the Funds, inadvertently was not filed in a timely manner.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees of each Fund, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of any Fund (as defined by the 1940 Act), have appointed, effective June 1, 2010, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund for each Fund’s fiscal year following May 31, 2010. Each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to May 31, 2010 was Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T” or the “Prior Auditor”). The audit committee of each Fund recommended and approved the decision to change each Fund’s independent

registered public accounting firm and such decision was approved by each Fund’s Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of any Fund (as defined by the 1940 Act) in connection with the change in control of the Fund’s investment adviser, and Invesco Advisers becoming investment adviser to each Fund (“Change in Control”). The Change in Control resulted in the Prior Auditor being prohibited from being engaged by the Funds as independent registered public accountants for the Funds’ fiscal years ended after May 31, 2010 because of certain business relationships between the accountants and certain affiliates of the Funds’ new investment adviser, Invesco Advisers, or its affiliated companies that are not permitted under the auditor independence requirements in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. The Funds’ Board of Trustees believes that there are operational efficiencies in having one auditor for all Invesco Funds.

Concurrent with the effective date of the Change in Control, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund.

The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of each Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report for any Fund.

Audit and Other Fees

Each Fund and certain “covered entities” were billed the amounts listed on Annex I by D&T during such Fund’s most recent two fiscal years.

The audit committee of each Board has considered whether the provision of non-audit services performed by D&T to the Funds and “covered entities” is compatible with maintaining D&T’s independence in performing audit services. The audit committee also is required to pre-approve services to “covered entities” to the extent that the services are determined to have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the Funds and 100% of such services were pre-approved by the audit committee pursuant to the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. The Board’s pre-approval policies and procedures are included as part of the Board’s audit committee charter, which is available at www.invesco.com.

It is not expected that representatives of D&T or PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP will attend the Meeting. In the event representatives of D&T or PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP do attend the Meeting, they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to answer appropriate questions.

Expenses

The expenses of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed form of proxy, the accompanying Notice and this Proxy Statement, and all other costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Funds. These expenses will be allocated among each of the Funds in a fair and equitable manner. The Funds will also reimburse banks, brokers and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the shares of the Funds. In order to obtain the necessary quorum at the Meeting, additional solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, facsimile or personal interview by representatives of the Funds, the Adviser or its affiliates, by the transfer agents of the Funds and by dealers or their representatives. The Funds may also retain Computershare Fund Services, a professional proxy solicitation firm, to assist in additional proxy solicitation. The estimated cost of solicitation by Computershare Fund Services is approximately $3,000 per Fund.

Shareholder Proposals

To be considered for presentation at a shareholders’ meeting, rules promulgated by the SEC generally require that, among other things, a shareholder’s proposal must be received at the offices of the relevant Fund a reasonable time before a solicitation is made. Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the year 2011 annual meeting of shareholders for a Fund pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must be received by the Fund at the Fund’s principal executive offices by March 18, 2011. In order for proposals made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act to be considered “timely” within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, such proposals must be received by the Fund at the Fund’s principal executive offices not later than May 2, 2011. Timely submission of a proposal does not necessarily mean that such proposal will be included. Any shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal for consideration at a meeting of such shareholder’s Fund should send such proposal to the respective Fund at the principal executive offices of the Fund at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, GA 30309, Attn: President and General Counsel.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Meeting to be held on July 16, 2010.

This Joint Proxy Statement is available on the Internet at: https://www.proxy-direct.com/inv21514

General

Management of each Fund does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that others will present any other items of business at the Meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the Meeting for a vote, the proxies will be voted upon such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons acting under the proxies.
