GENERAL AGREEMENTS
A.
|
|
ADDITIONAL OFFICES OR EMPLOYEESCONSOLIDATION OR MERGERNOTICE
|
|
1.
|
|
Except as provided in paragraph 2 below, this Bond shall apply to any additional
office(s) established by the Insured during the Bond Period and to all Employees during
the Bond Period, without the need to give notice thereof or pay additional premiums to
the Underwriter for the Bond Period.
|
|
|
2.
|
|
If during the Bond Period an Insured Investment Company shall merge or consolidate
with an institution in which such Insured is the surviving entity, or purchase
substantially all the assets or capital stock of another institution, or acquire or
create a separate investment portfolio, and shall within sixty (60) days notify the
Underwriter thereof, then this Bond shall automatically apply to
|
5
|
|
|
the Property and
Employees resulting from such merger, consolidation, acquisition or creation from the
date thereof; provided, that the Underwriter may make such coverage contingent upon the
payment of an additional premium.
|
B.
|
|
WARRANTY
|
|
|
|
No statement made by or on behalf of the Insured, whether contained in the Application or
otherwise, shall be deemed to be an absolute warranty, but only a warranty that such statement
is true to the best of the knowledge of the person responsible for such statement.
|
|
C.
|
|
COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEYS FEES
|
|
|
|
The Underwriter will indemnify the Insured against court costs and reasonable attorneys fees
incurred and paid by the Insured in defense of any legal proceeding brought against the
Insured seeking recovery for any loss which, if established against the Insured, would
constitute a loss covered under the terms of this Bond; provided, however, that with respect
to Insuring Agreement A this indemnity shall apply only in the event that
|
|
1.
|
|
an Employee admits to having committed or is adjudicated to have committed a
Dishonest or Fraudulent Act or Theft which caused the loss; or
|
|
|
2.
|
|
in the absence of such an admission or adjudication, an arbitrator or arbitrators
acceptable to the Insured and the Underwriter concludes, after a review of an agreed
statement of facts, that an Employee has committed a Dishonest or Fraudulent Act or Theft
which caused the loss.
|
|
|
The Insured shall promptly give notice to the Underwriter of any such legal proceeding and
upon request shall furnish the Underwriter with copies of all pleadings and other papers
therein. At the Underwriters election the Insured shall permit the Underwriter to conduct the
defense of such legal proceeding in the Insureds name, through attorneys of the Underwriters
selection. In such event, the Insured shall give all reasonable information and assistance
which the Underwriter shall deem necessary to the proper defense of such legal proceeding.
|
|
|
|
If the amount of the Insureds liability or alleged liability in any such legal proceeding is
greater than the amount which the Insured would be entitled to recover under this Bond (other
than pursuant to this General Agreement C), or if a Deductible Amount is applicable, or both,
the indemnity liability
of the Underwriter under this General Agreement C is limited to the proportion of court costs
and attorneys fees incurred and paid by the Insured or by the Underwriter that the amount
which the Insured would be entitled to recover under this Bond (other than pursuant to this
General Agreement C) bears to the sum of such amount plus the amount which the Insured is not
entitled to recover. Such indemnity shall be in addition to the Limit of Liability for the
applicable Insuring Agreement.
|
|
D.
|
|
INTERPRETATION
|
|
|
|
This Bond shall be interpreted with due regard to the purpose of fidelity bonding under Rule
17g-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (i.e., to protect innocent third parties from
harm) and to the structure of the investment management industry (in which a loss of Property
resulting from a cause described in any Insuring Agreement ordinarily gives rise to a
potential legal liability on the part of the Insured), such that the term loss as used
herein shall include an Insureds legal liability for direct compensatory damages resulting
directly from a misappropriation, or measurable diminution in value, of Property.

NOTICE
PROOF
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|

This Bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured and the Underwriter shall not be
liable hereunder to anyone other than the Insured. As soon as practicable and not more than
sixty (60) days after discovery, the Insured shall give the Underwriter written notice thereof
and, as soon as practicable and within one year after such discovery, shall also furnish to
the Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full particulars. The Underwriter may extend

extension and shows good cause therefor.
|
|
|
|
See also General Agreement C (Court Costs and Attorneys Fees).
|
|
|
|
The Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss of Securities unless each of the
Securities is identified in such proof of loss by a certificate or bond number or by such
identification means as the Underwriter may require. The Underwriter shall have a reasonable
period after receipt of a proper affirmative proof of loss within which to investigate the
claim, but where the Property is Securities and the loss is clear and undisputed, settlement

to recover hereunder on account of any judgment against the Insured in or settlement of any

|
|
|
|
Notice hereunder shall be given to Manager, Professional Liability Claims, ICI Mutual
Insurance Company, 1401 H St. NW, Washington, DC 20005.
|
SECTION 5. DISCOVERY
|
|

the Insured
|
12
|
(1)
|
|
becomes aware of facts, or
|
|
|
(2)
|
|
receives notice of an actual or potential claim by a third party which alleges that
the Insured is liable under circumstances,
|
|
|
which would cause a reasonable person to assume that loss covered by this Bond has been or is
likely to be incurred even though the exact amount or details of loss may not be known.
|
SECTION 6. VALUATION OF PROPERTY
|
|
For the purpose of determining the amount of any loss hereunder, the value of any Property
shall be the market value of such Property at the close of business on the first business day
before the discovery of such loss; except that
|
|
(1)
|
|
the value of any Property replaced by the Insured prior to the payment of a claim
therefor shall be the actual market value of such Property at the time of replacement,
but not in excess of the market value of such Property on the first business day before
the discovery of the loss of such Property;
|
|
|
(2)
|
|
the value of Securities which must be produced to exercise subscription,
conversion, redemption or deposit privileges shall be the market value of such privileges
immediately preceding the expiration thereof if the loss of such Securities is not
discovered until after such expiration, but if there is no quoted or other ascertainable
market price for such Property or privileges referred to in clauses (1) and (2), their
value shall be fixed by agreement between the parties or by arbitration before an
arbitrator or arbitrators acceptable to the parties; and
|
|
|
(3)
|
|
the value of books of accounts or other records used by the Insured in the conduct
of its business shall be limited to the actual cost of blank books, blank pages or other
materials if the books or records are reproduced plus the cost of labor for the
transcription or copying of data furnished by the Insured for reproduction.
|
SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES
|
|
The maximum liability of the Underwriter hereunder for lost Securities shall be the payment
for, or replacement of, such Securities having an aggregate value not to exceed the applicable
Limit of Liability. If the Underwriter shall make payment to the Insured for any loss of
Securities, the Insured shall assign to the Underwriter all of the Insureds right, title and
interest in and to such Securities. In lieu of such payment, the Underwriter may, at its
option, replace such lost Securities, and in such case the Insured shall cooperate to effect
such replacement. To effect the replacement of lost Securities, the Underwriter may issue or
arrange for the issuance of a lost instrument bond. If the value of such Securities does not
exceed the applicable Deductible Amount (at the time of the discovery of the loss), the
Insured will pay the usual premium charged for the lost instrument bond and will indemnify the
issuer of such bond against all loss and expense that it may sustain because of the issuance
of such bond.
|
|
|
|
If the value of such Securities exceeds the applicable Deductible Amount (at the time of
discovery of the loss), the Insured will pay a proportion of the usual premium charged for the
lost instrument bond, equal to the percentage that the applicable Deductible Amount bears to
the value of such Securities upon discovery of the loss, and will indemnify the issuer of such
bond against all loss and expense that is not recovered from the Underwriter under the terms
and conditions of this Bond, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability.
|
SECTION 8. SALVAGE
|
|
If any recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on account of any loss
within the applicable Limit of Liability hereunder, the Underwriter shall be entitled to the
full amount of such recovery to reimburse the Underwriter for all amounts paid hereunder with
respect to such loss. If any
|
13
|
|
recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on
account of any loss in excess of the applicable Limit of Liability hereunder plus the
Deductible Amount applicable to such loss from any source other than suretyship, insurance,
reinsurance, security or indemnity taken by or for the benefit of the Underwriter, the amount
of such recovery, net of the actual costs and expenses of recovery, shall be applied to
reimburse the Insured in full for the portion of such loss in excess of such Limit of
Liability, and the remainder, if any, shall be paid first to reimburse the Underwriter for all
amounts paid hereunder with respect to such loss and then to the Insured to the extent of the
portion of such loss within the Deductible Amount. The Insured shall execute all documents
which the Underwriter deems necessary or desirable to secure to the Underwriter the rights
provided for herein.
|
SECTION 9. NON-REDUCTION AND NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY
|
|
Prior to its termination, this Bond shall continue in force up to the Limit of Liability for
each Insuring Agreement for each Single Loss, notwithstanding any previous loss (other than
such Single Loss) for which the Underwriter may have paid or be liable to pay hereunder;
PROVIDED, however, that regardless of the number of years this Bond shall continue in force
and the number of premiums which shall be payable or paid, the liability of the Underwriter
under this Bond with respect to any Single Loss shall be limited to the applicable Limit of
Liability irrespective of the total amount of such Single Loss and shall not be cumulative in
amounts from year to year or from period to period.
|
SECTION 10. MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF UNDERWRITER; OTHER BONDS OR POLICIES
|
|
The maximum liability of the Underwriter for any Single Loss covered by any Insuring Agreement
under this Bond shall be the Limit of Liability applicable to such Insuring Agreement, subject
to the applicable Deductible Amount and the other provisions of this Bond. Recovery for any
Single Loss
may not be made under more than one Insuring Agreement. If any Single Loss covered under this
Bond is recoverable or recovered in whole or in part because of an unexpired discovery period
under any other bonds or policies issued by the Underwriter to the Insured or to any
predecessor in interest of the Insured, the maximum liability of the Underwriter shall be the
greater of either (1) the applicable Limit of Liability under this Bond, or (2) the maximum
liability of the Underwriter under such other bonds or policies.
|
SECTION 11. OTHER INSURANCE
|
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any loss covered by this Bond shall also
be covered by other insurance or suretyship for the benefit of the Insured, the Underwriter
shall be liable hereunder only for the portion of such loss in excess of the amount
recoverable under such other insurance or suretyship, but not exceeding the applicable Limit
of Liability of this Bond.
|
SECTION 12. DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT
|
|
The Underwriter shall not be liable under any Insuring Agreement unless the amount of the loss
covered thereunder, after deducting the net amount of all reimbursement and/or recovery
received by the Insured with respect to such loss (other than from any other bond, suretyship
or insurance policy or as an advance by the Underwriter hereunder) shall exceed the applicable
Deductible Amount; in such case the Underwriter shall be liable only for such excess, subject
to the applicable Limit of Liability and the other terms of this Bond.
|
|
|
No Deductible Amount shall apply to any loss covered under Insuring Agreement A sustained by
any Investment Company named as an Insured.
|
14
SECTION 13. TERMINATION
|
|
The Underwriter may terminate this Bond as to any Insured or all Insureds only by written
notice to such Insured or Insureds and, if this Bond is terminated as to any Investment
Company, to each such Investment Company terminated thereby and to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Washington, D.C., in all cases not less than sixty (60) days prior to the
effective date of termination specified in such notice.
|
|
|
The Insured may terminate this Bond only by written notice to the Underwriter not less than
sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of the termination specified in such notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the Insured terminates this Bond as to any Investment
Company, the effective date of termination shall be not less than sixty (60) days from the
date the Underwriter provides written notice of the termination to each such Investment
Company terminated thereby and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C.
|
|
|
This Bond will terminate as to any Insured that is a Non-Fund immediately and without notice
upon (1) the takeover of such Insureds business by any State or Federal official or agency,
or by any receiver or liquidator, or (2) the filing of a petition under any State or Federal
statute relative to bankruptcy or reorganization of the Insured, or assignment for the benefit
of creditors of the Insured.
|
|
|
Premiums are earned until the effective date of termination. The Underwriter shall refund the
unearned premium computed at short rates in accordance with the Underwriters standard short
rate cancellation tables if this Bond is terminated by the Insured or pro rata if this Bond is
terminated by the Underwriter.
|
|
|
Upon the detection by any Insured that an Employee has committed any Dishonest or Fraudulent
Act(s) or Theft, the Insured shall immediately remove such Employee from a position that may
enable such Employee to cause the Insured to suffer a loss by any subsequent Dishonest or
Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft. The Insured, within two (2) business days of such detection, shall
notify the Underwriter with full and complete particulars of the detected Dishonest or
Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft.
|
|
|
For purposes of this section, detection occurs when any partner, officer, or supervisory
employee of any Insured, who is not in collusion with such Employee, becomes aware that the
Employee has committed any Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft.
|
|
|
This Bond shall terminate as to any Employee by written notice from the Underwriter to each
Insured and, if such Employee is an Employee of an Insured Investment Company, to the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in all cases not less than sixty (60) days prior to the
effective date of termination specified in such notice.
|
SECTION 14. RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION
|
|
At any time prior to the effective date of termination of this Bond as to any Insured, such
Insured may, by written notice to the Underwriter, elect to purchase the right under this Bond
to an additional period of twelve (12) months within which to discover loss sustained by such
Insured prior to the effective date of such termination and shall pay an additional premium
therefor as the Underwriter may require.
|
|
|
Such additional discovery period shall terminate immediately and without notice upon the
takeover of such Insureds business by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any
receiver or liquidator. Promptly after such termination the Underwriter shall refund to the
Insured any unearned premium.
|
|
|
The right to purchase such additional discovery period may not be exercised by any State or
Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, acting or appointed to take over
the Insureds business.
|
15
SECTION 15. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES
|
|
The Underwriter shall not be liable for loss in connection with the central handling of
securities within the systems established and maintained by any Depository (Systems), unless
the amount of such loss exceeds the amount recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy
or participants fund insuring the Depository against such loss (the Depositorys Recovery);
in such case the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the Insureds share of such
excess loss, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability, the Deductible Amount and the other
terms of this Bond.
|
|
|
For determining the Insureds share of such excess loss, (1) the Insured shall be deemed to
have an interest in any certificate representing any security included within the Systems
equivalent to the interest the Insured then has in all certificates representing the same
security included within the Systems; (2) the Depository shall have reasonably and fairly
apportioned the Depositorys Recovery among all those having an interest as recorded by
appropriate entries in the books and records of the Depository in Property involved in such
loss, so that each such interest shall share in the Depositorys Recovery in the ratio that
the value of each such interest bears to the total value of all such interests; and (3) the
Insureds share of such excess loss shall be the amount of the Insureds interest in such
Property in excess of the amount(s) so apportioned to the Insured by the Depository.
|
|
|
This Bond does not afford coverage in favor of any Depository or Exchange or any nominee in
whose name is registered any security included within the Systems.
|
SECTION 16. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED
|
|
If more than one entity is named as the Insured:
|
|
A.
|
|
the total liability of the Underwriter hereunder for each Single Loss shall not
exceed the Limit of Liability which would be applicable if there were only one named
Insured, regardless of the number of Insured entities which sustain loss as a result of
such Single Loss,
|
|
|
B.
|
|

Agreement J as follows:
Loss (including loss of Property) resulting directly from Computer Fraud;
provided
, that
the Insured has adopted in writing and generally maintains and follows during the Bond Period all

and
|
|
(3)
|
|
causes (x) Property to be transferred, paid or delivered;
or
(y) an account of the Insured, or of its customer, to be added, deleted, debited or
credited;
or
(z) an unauthorized or fictitious account to be debited or
credited.
|
|
c.

possession, custody and control.
|
|
|

Unauthorized Third Party means any person or entity that, at the time of the
Computer Fraud, is not an Authorized User.
|
|
|
f.
|
|

i.e.
, a series of characters)
that is assigned to a person or entity by the Insured.
|
|
2.
|
|
Exclusions
. It is further understood and agreed that this Insuring Agreement J
shall not cover:
|
|
a.
|
|
Any loss covered under Insuring Agreement A, Fidelity, of this Bond;
and
|
|
|
b.
|
|
Any loss resulting directly or indirectly from Theft or misappropriation of
confidential or proprietary information, material or data (including but not limited to
trade secrets, computer programs or customer information);
and
|
|
|
c.
|
|
Any loss resulting from the intentional failure to adhere to one or more
Computer Security Procedures;
and
|
|
|
d.
|
|
Any loss resulting from a Computer Fraud committed by or in collusion with:
|
|
(1)
|
|
any Authorized User (whether a natural person or an entity);
or
|
|
|
(2)
|
|
in the case of any Authorized User which is an entity, (a) any
director, officer, partner, employee or agent of such Authorized User, or
(b) any entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with such Authorized User (Related Entity), or (c) any director, officer,
partner, employee or agent of such Related Entity;
or
|
|
|
(3)
|
|
in the case of any Authorized User who is a natural person, (a)
any entity for which such Authorized User is a director, officer, partner,
employee or agent (Employer Entity), or (b) any director, officer,
partner, employee or agent of such Employer Entity, or (c) any entity which
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such
Employer Entity (Employer-Related Entity), or (d) any director, officer,
partner, employee or agent of such Employer-Related Entity;
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
e.
|
|
Any loss resulting from physical damage to or destruction of any Covered
Computer System, or any part thereof, or any data, data elements or media associated
therewith;
and
|
|
|
f.
|
|
Any loss resulting from Computer Fraud committed by means of wireless access to
any Covered Computer System, or any part thereof, or any data, data elements or media
associated therewith;
and
|

Any loss not directly and proximately caused by Computer Fraud (including,
without limitation, disruption of business and extra expense);
and
|
|
|
h.

authorized access to a Covered Computer System or otherwise has threatened to disrupt
the business of the Insured.
|
For purposes of this Insuring Agreement, Single Loss, as defined in Section 1.X of this Bond,
shall also include all loss caused by Computer Fraud(s) committed by one person, or in which one
person is implicated, whether or not that person is specifically identified. A series of losses
involving unidentified individuals, but arising from the same method of operation, may be deemed by
the Underwriter to involve the same individual and in that event shall be treated as a Single Loss.
It is further understood and agreed that nothing in this Rider shall affect the exclusion set forth
in Section 2.O of this Bond.
Coverage under this Insuring Agreement shall terminate upon termination of this Bond. Coverage
under this Insuring Agreement may also be terminated without terminating this Bond as an entirety:
|
(a)
|
|
by written notice from the Underwriter not less than sixty (60) days prior to
the effective date of termination specified in such notice; or
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
immediately by written notice from the Insured to the Underwriter.
|
Except as above stated, nothing herein shall be held to alter, waive or extend any of the terms of
this Bond.

Most property and casualty insurers, including ICI Mutual Insurance Company, a Risk Retention Group
(ICI Mutual), are subject to the requirements of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the
Act). The Act establishes a Federal insurance backstop under which ICI Mutual and these other
insurers will be partially reimbursed for future
insured losses
resulting from certified
acts of
terrorism.
(Each of these
bolded terms
is defined by the Act.) The Act also places certain
disclosure and other obligations on ICI Mutual and these other insurers.
Pursuant to the Act, any future losses to ICI Mutual caused by certified
acts of terrorism
will
be partially reimbursed by the United States government under a formula established by the Act.
Under this formula, the United States government will reimburse ICI Mutual for 85% of ICI Mutuals
insured losses
in excess of a statutorily established deductible until total insured losses of
all participating insurers reach $100 billion. If total insured losses of all property and
casualty insurers reach $100 billion during any applicable period, the Act provides that the
insurers will not be liable under their policies for their portions of such losses that exceed such
amount. Amounts otherwise payable under this bond may be reduced as a result.
This bond has no express exclusion for
acts of terrorism.
However, coverage under this bond
remains subject to all applicable terms, conditions and limitations of the bond (including
exclusions) that are permissible under the Act. The portion of the premium that is attributable to
any coverage potentially available under the bond for
acts of terrorism
is one percent (1%).

PERIOD FOR WHICH PREMIUMS HAVE BEEN PAID
The premiums for the above-referenced bond have been paid through July 31, 2013.
JOINT INSURANCE AGREEMENT
THIS JOINT INSURANCE AGREEMENT, dated as of June 30, 2011 as amended as of June 30, 2012, is
by and among (i) the open-end funds (the Open-End Funds), which Open-End Funds represent series
portfolios of the Delaware statutory trusts (Trusts), listed on Schedule A, (ii) each of the
closed-end funds (including the Delaware statutory trusts that have been formed in connection with
the redomestication of the Closed-end Funds) (the Closed-End Funds) listed on Schedule A, (iii)
each of the Cayman Funds (Cayman Funds) listed on Schedule A and Invesco Van Kampen Exchange Fund
(the Exchange Fund and together with the Cayman Funds, the Other Funds and together with and
the Open-End Funds and the Closed-End Funds, the Funds) and (iv) each of the entities (Invesco
Entities) listed on Schedule A, which Invesco Entities are also named as insureds under the ICI
Mutual Insurance Company Investment Blanket Bond.
BACKGROUND
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into with the following background:
A. Section 17(g) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act) authorizes the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) to require that the officers and employees of registered management
investment companies be bonded against larceny and embezzlement, and the SEC has promulgated Rule
17g-1 requiring such coverage in specified minimum amounts.
B. The Funds have obtained and maintain the bonds and policies of insurance providing coverage
against larceny and embezzlement by their officers and the employees of certain of the Invesco
Entities (the Joint Bonds).
C. The Board of Trustees/Directors of each Fund, by vote of a majority of its members and a
majority of those members of the Board of each Fund who are not interested persons as defined by
Section 2 (a) (19) of the Act, has given due
Page 1 of 14
consideration to all factors relevant to the amount, type, form, coverage and apportionment of
recoveries and premiums on the Joint Bonds and has approved the form, term and amount of the Joint
Bonds, the portion of the premiums payable by each Fund, and the manner in which recovery on the
Joint Bonds (Joint Bond Proceeds), if any, shall be shared by and among the parties hereto as
hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by and among the parties hereto as follows:
1.
ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS
a. In the event a single party suffers a loss or losses covered under the Joint Bonds, the
party suffering such loss or losses shall be entitled to be indemnified up to the full amount of
the Joint Bond Proceeds.
b. If more than one party is damaged in a single loss for which Joint Bond Proceeds are
received, each such party shall receive that portion of the Joint Bond Proceeds which represents
the loss sustained by that party, unless the recovery is inadequate to indemnify fully each such
party. If the recovery is inadequate to indemnify fully each such party sustaining a loss, the
Joint Bond Proceeds shall be allocated among such parties as set forth in (1) through (3) of this
provision 1.b below. Any party not fully indemnified for its insurable losses as a result of this
allocation is hereafter referred to as an Unindemnified Party.
(1) Each Trust or Fund sustaining a loss shall be allocated an amount
equal to the lesser of its actual loss or the minimum amount of bond
coverage allocated to such party specified on Schedule B hereto. To the
extent any Cayman Fund sustains a loss, such Cayman Fund shall be
allocated an amount equal to the lesser of its actual loss or the minimum
amount of bond
Page 2 of 14
coverage allocated to the Open-end Fund that owns such Cayman Fund
specified on Schedule B hereto.
(2) Each Invesco Entity sustaining a loss shall be allocated an amount
equal to the lesser of its actual loss or its proportionate share of the
minimum amount of the aggregate bond coverage allocable to the Invesco
Entities, as set forth Schedule B hereto.
(3) The remaining portion of the Joint Bond Proceeds, if any, shall be
allocated to each Unindemnified Party in the same proportion as such
partys allocation of minimum bond coverage on Schedule B hereto bears to
the aggregate of the minimum bond coverage amounts set forth on Schedule B
for all Unindemnified Parties, provided that no party shall receive Joint
Bond Proceeds in excess of its actual insurable losses.
2.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
a. Each party hereto has agreed that the premiums payable with respect to the Joint Bonds
(Premiums) shall be shared (the Sharing Arrangement) between the Funds and the Invesco
Entities, with the Funds paying, in the aggregate, seventy percent (70%) thereof (Fund Premiums)
and the Invesco Entities paying, in the aggregate, thirty percent (30%) thereof (Invesco
Premiums).
b. After giving effect to the Sharing Arrangement, Fund Premiums shall be further allocated
among each of the Funds by calculating, on an annual basis (and, in the event any increased or
additional premium is required to be paid during the year, as of the date such increased or
additional premium is due), each Funds proportionate share thereof, based on dividing each Funds
total net assets by the
Page 3 of 14
aggregate net assets of all of the Funds; provided that the Fund Premiums for the Cayman Funds
shall be allocated to the Open-End Fund that includes the respective Cayman Funds assets in such
Open-End Funds total net assets.
3.
BOND COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS AND CHANGES
a. Each party hereto has determined that the minimum amount of fidelity bond coverage deemed
appropriate to be maintained by it is as set forth opposite its name in Schedule B. Each of the
Trusts, on behalf of the Open-End Funds and the Cayman Funds, and each of the Closed-End Funds and
the Exchange Fund has determined that the minimum amount of coverage required of it under Rule
17g-1 (d) (1) as of the date hereof is the amount reflected opposite its name in Schedule B. Each
of the Trusts, Closed-End Funds and Exchange Fund further agrees that its Treasurer will promptly
take such steps as may be necessary, from time to time, to increase its minimum coverage as set
forth in Schedule B (and, if necessary, the face amount of the Joint Bonds) so that its minimum
coverage as therein set forth shall at no time be less than the minimum coverage required of it
under Rule 17g-l (d)(1).
b. The parties hereto may, from time to time hereafter, agree to modify Schedule B to reflect
changes in coverage both among the Funds and the Invesco Entities, so long as the amount of the
change does not result in any Funds minimum coverage becoming less than the minimum coverage
required of it under Rule 17g-1(d)(1). All references in this Agreement to Schedule B shall be
to such Schedule as amended as of the relevant date on which premiums are to be allocated or losses
are sustained.
4.
ADDITION OF NEW FUNDS AND SERIES
The parties to this Agreement contemplate that additional trusts, funds or other related
entities permitted by Rule 17g-1 (Additional Entities) may be added
Page 4 of 14
from time to time after the date of this Agreement. In the event an Additional Entity is
organized, such Additional Entity may be included as an additional party to this Agreement if the
Board of Trustees of each of the Trusts (including the Additional Entity Trust if it is being
added) approve such addition and establish a revised minimum allocation of bond coverage. The
inclusion of an additional Trust as a party to this Agreement shall be evidenced by such Trusts
execution of the Addendum to this Agreement and all references herein to the Trust shall include
any such Additional Entity Trusts.
5.
TERM OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement supersedes and replaces the joint insurance agreement dated as of June 1, 2010,
and shall apply to the present fidelity bond coverage and any renewals or replacements thereof and
shall continue thereafter until terminated by any party hereto upon the giving of not less than
sixty days written notice to the other parties.
6.
DISPUTES
Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration in the City of
Houston, Texas under the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the decision rendered
therein shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.
7.
GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Texas, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable provisions of the Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC.
Page 5 of 14
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, have caused this
Agreement to be executed by a duly authorized officer or representative on the date first written
above.

JOINT INSURANCE AGREEMENT
THIS JOINT INSURANCE AGREEMENT, dated as of July 31, 2012, is by and among (i) the open-end
funds (the Open-End Funds), which Open-End Funds represent series portfolios of the Delaware
statutory trusts (Trusts), listed on Schedule A, (ii) each of the closed-end funds (the
Closed-End Funds) listed on Schedule A, (iii) each of the closed-end funds that are Delaware
statutory trusts (the DSTs) listed on Schedule A effective on the date of the closing of a
redomestication whereby the corresponding Closed-End Fund will transfer all its assets and
liabilities to the corresponding DST (each a Closing Date), (iv) each of the Cayman Funds
(Cayman Funds) listed on Schedule A and Invesco Van Kampen Exchange Fund (the Exchange Fund and
together with the Cayman Funds, the Other Funds and together with the Open-End Funds, the
Closed-End Funds and the DSTs, the Funds) and (v) each of the entities (Invesco Entities)
listed on Schedule A, which Invesco Entities are also named as insureds under the ICI Mutual
Insurance Company Investment Blanket Bond.
BACKGROUND
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into with the following background:
A. Section 17(g) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act) authorizes the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) to require that the officers and employees of registered management
investment companies be bonded against larceny and embezzlement, and the SEC has promulgated Rule
17g-1 requiring such coverage in specified minimum amounts.
B. The Funds have obtained and maintain the bonds and policies of insurance providing coverage
against larceny and embezzlement by their officers and the employees of certain of the Invesco
Entities (the Joint Bonds).
C. The Board of Trustees/Directors of each Fund, by vote of a majority of its members and a
majority of those members of the Board of each Fund who are not interested persons as defined by
Section 2 (a) (19) of the Act, has given due consideration to all factors relevant to the amount,
type, form, coverage and apportionment of recoveries and premiums on the Joint Bonds and has
approved the form, term and amount of the Joint Bonds, the portion of the premiums payable by each
Fund, and the manner in which recovery on the Joint Bonds (Joint Bond Proceeds), if any, shall be
shared by and among the parties hereto as hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by and among the parties hereto as follows:
1.
ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS
a. In the event a single party suffers a loss or losses covered under the Joint Bonds, the
party suffering such loss or losses shall be entitled to be indemnified up to the full amount of
the Joint Bond Proceeds.
b. If more than one party is damaged in a single loss for which Joint Bond Proceeds are
received, each such party shall receive that portion of the Joint Bond Proceeds which represents
the loss sustained by that party, unless the recovery is inadequate to indemnify fully each such
party. If the recovery is inadequate to indemnify fully each such party sustaining a loss, the
Joint Bond Proceeds shall be allocated among such parties as set forth in (1) through (3) of this
provision 1.b below. Any party not fully indemnified for its insurable losses as a result of this
allocation is hereafter referred to as an Unindemnified Party.
(1) Each Trust or Fund sustaining a loss shall be allocated an amount
equal to the lesser of its actual loss or the minimum amount of bond
coverage allocated to such party specified on
Page 2 of 15
Schedule B hereto. Each DST shall succeed to the amount allocated to its
corresponding Closed-End Fund effective on the Closing Date. To the
extent any Cayman Fund sustains a loss, such Cayman Fund shall be
allocated an amount equal to the lesser of its actual loss or the minimum
amount of bond coverage allocated to the Open-End Fund that owns such
Cayman Fund specified on Schedule B hereto.
(2) Each Invesco Entity sustaining a loss shall be allocated an amount
equal to the lesser of its actual loss or its proportionate share of the
minimum amount of the aggregate bond coverage allocable to the Invesco
Entities, as set forth Schedule B hereto.
(3) The remaining portion of the Joint Bond Proceeds, if any, shall be
allocated to each Unindemnified Party in the same proportion as such
partys allocation of minimum bond coverage on Schedule B hereto bears to
the aggregate of the minimum bond coverage amounts set forth on Schedule B
for all Unindemnified Parties, provided that no party shall receive Joint
Bond Proceeds in excess of its actual insurable losses.
2.
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
a. Each party hereto has agreed that the premiums payable with respect to the Joint Bonds
(Premiums) shall be shared (the Sharing Arrangement) between the Funds and the Invesco
Entities, with the Funds paying, in the aggregate, seventy percent (70%) thereof (Fund Premiums)
and the Invesco Entities paying, in the aggregate, thirty percent (30%) thereof (Invesco
Premiums).
Page 3 of 15
b. After giving effect to the Sharing Arrangement, Fund Premiums shall be further allocated
among each of the Funds by calculating, on an annual basis (and, in the event any increased or
additional premium is required to be paid during the year, as of the date such increased or
additional premium is due), each Funds proportionate share thereof, based on dividing each Funds
total net assets by the aggregate net assets of all of the Funds; provided that the Fund Premiums
for the Cayman Funds shall be allocated to the Open-End Fund that includes the respective Cayman
Funds assets in such Open-End Funds total net assets and the Fund Premiums for the DSTs shall be
allocated to the corresponding Closed-End Funds.
3.
BOND COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS AND CHANGES
a. Each party hereto has determined that the minimum amount of fidelity bond coverage deemed
appropriate to be maintained by it is as set forth opposite its name in Schedule B. Each of the
Trusts, on behalf of the Open-End Funds and the Cayman Funds, and each of the Closed-End Funds and
the Exchange Fund has determined that the minimum amount of coverage required of it under Rule
17g-1 (d) (1) as of the date hereof is the amount reflected opposite its name in Schedule B. Each
of the Trusts, Closed-End Funds and Exchange Fund further agrees that its Treasurer will promptly
take such steps as may be necessary, from time to time, to increase its minimum coverage as set
forth in Schedule B (and, if necessary, the face amount of the Joint Bonds) so that its minimum
coverage as therein set forth shall at no time be less than the minimum coverage required of it
under Rule 17g-l(d)(1).
b. The parties hereto may, from time to time hereafter, agree to modify Schedule B to reflect
changes in coverage both among the Funds and the Invesco Entities, so long as the amount of the
change does not result in any Funds minimum coverage becoming less than the minimum coverage
required of it under
Page 4 of 15
Rule 17g-1(d)(1). All references in this Agreement to Schedule B shall be to such Schedule
as amended as of the relevant date on which premiums are to be allocated or losses are sustained.
4.
ADDITION OF NEW FUNDS AND SERIES
The parties to this Agreement contemplate that additional trusts, funds or other related
entities permitted by Rule 17g-1 (Additional Entities) may be added from time to time after the
date of this Agreement. In the event an Additional Entity is organized, such Additional Entity may
be included as an additional party to this Agreement if the Board of Trustees of each of the Trusts
(including the Additional Entity Trust if it is being added) approve such addition and establish a
revised minimum allocation of bond coverage. The inclusion of an additional Trust as a party to
this Agreement shall be evidenced by such Trusts execution of the Addendum to this Agreement and
all references herein to the Trust shall include any such Additional Entity Trusts.
5.
TERM OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement supersedes and replaces the joint insurance agreement dated as of June 30,
2011, as extended, and shall apply to the present fidelity bond coverage and any renewals or
replacements thereof and shall continue thereafter until terminated by any party hereto upon the
giving of not less than sixty days written notice to the other parties.
6.
DISPUTES
Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be submitted to arbitration in the City of
Houston, Texas under the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the decision rendered
therein shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.
Page 5 of 15
7.
GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Texas, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable provisions of the Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC.
Page 6 of 15
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, have caused this
Agreement to be executed by a duly authorized officer or representative on the date first written
above.
