Important information:• The Fund invests primarily in debt securities whose issuers, guarantors and/or domiciled countries could or would directly or indirectly benefit from China’s Belt
and Road vision of increasing land and sea paths to connect Asia, Europe, Middle East and Africa and their adjacent seas for closer economic co-operation.• Investors should note the general investment risk, risk of misalignment between the Fund’s investment theme and the Belt and Road vision, risks of investing in
companies related to the Belt and Road Initiative, emerging markets, liquidity risk, sovereign debt risk, portfolio turnover risk, Eurozone risk, hedged unit classes risk, RMB class(es) related risk, counterparty risk, and currency and foreign exchange risk.
• Debt Securities is subject to (a) interest rate risk; (b) credit risk (including default risk, credit rating risk, credit rating downgrading risk and liquidity risk); (c) risks relating to below investment grade and unrated securities; and (d) valuation risk.
• Financial derivative instruments may be used for hedging. The use of derivatives may become ineffective and the Fund may suffer significant losses.• For Monthly Distribution-1 unit class (MD1), (a) the Fund Manager may at discretion pay distributions 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 unit in respect of such unit class after the distribution date; (b) Investments in MD1 are not an alternative to a savings account or fixed-interest paying investment, investors may not be able to get back the original investment amount; and (c) The fixed amount of distributions per month is subject to risk of exchange rate fluctuations. (Note 1)
• In addition, investors of MD-1 that are currency hedged (MD1 hedged) should be aware of the uncertainty of relative interest rates. The net asset value of the MD1 hedged may fluctuate and may significantly differ from other unit class due to fluctuation of the interest rate differential between the currency in which the MD1 hedged is denominated and the base currency of the Fund and may result in a greater erosion of capital than other non-hedged unit 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.

Belt & Road : a sustainable and powerful initiative
What is the “Belt and Road” initiative?The “Belt and Road” initiative is a systemic initiative and significant development strategy launched by the Chinese government to promote the land and sea connectivity along Asia, Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“the Belt and Road Region”), establishing and strengthening economic partnerships and cooperation along these regions1.
“ The Belt and Road initiative is set to reinvigorate the seamless flow of capital, good and services between Asia and the rest of the world”

Five major investment themes of the “Belt and Road” initiative2
Improving financial strength
Rising consumption sectors
Modernizing economic corridors
Expanding infrastructure network
Improving energy, commodities, agriculture and basic materials production

Why “Belt and Road” bonds? • Large market size: over US$1 trillion international bonds issued along “Belt and Road”3 enable active managers a rich universe
to capture potential excess return.• Strong financial commitments by Chinese institutions: Belt and Road has already fetched more than US$600 billion from major
Chinese institutions4. We expect China to invest US$150-200 billion annually in the B&R countries for the foreseeable future. • Attractive total return potential: economic improvement tends to benefit both government and corporate bond issuers along
“Belt and Road”, leading investors to find higher interest income and capital gains from selective bonds.• First mover advantage: early investors have priority to capture investment opportunities arising from this significant initiative.
Invesco Belt and Road Bond Fund : diversified exposure to potential income and growth
Attractive yield opportunities • The Fund will primarily invest in sovereign bonds, quasi-sovereign bonds, investment grade and high yield corporate bonds
denominated in major currencies such as USD, EUR, GBP and CNH from Asia, Africa, Middle East and Europe5 (Chart 1). • Allocate between investment grade debt securities and high yield bonds.

Total return investment style• Dynamic interest rate hedging aims to minimize the negative impacts of rising interest rates.• Benchmark unconstrained.• Active country allocations (Chart 2).
3
Capital growth potential • Selection of bonds whose issuers could benefit from the “Belt and Road” initiative.• To ensure successful new bond issuances, issuers are usually willing to pay new issue premiums (in general, they issue
bonds with higher yields compared to bonds with similar maturities, credit ratings and industries in the secondary market). The new issue premiums may lead to capital gain potential.
