Three AIM Funds Receive 2008 Lipper Awards

Business Wire, April 10, 2008

HOUSTON -- Invesco Aim announced today that three of its funds were recognized for performance excellence at the 2008 Lipper Funds Awards ceremony held last night in New York City.

* AIM European Small Company (A Shares) and AIM Floating Rate Fund (A Shares) were recognized for their consistent performance over the three-year period ending in 2007. This was the second consecutive year AIM European Small Company Fund was recognized for its performance over the trailing three-year period.

* AIM European Growth Fund (A Shares) received honors for its consistent performance for the 10-year period ending in 2007.

"We're very proud to be acknowledged for the longer-term performance of our funds," said Phil Taylor, Senior Managing Director of Invesco's North American retail asset management business, including Invesco Aim. "Our goal is to build and protect the wealth of investors, and these awards continue to be recognition of our long-term success."

AIM European Small Company Fund (A Shares) was ranked No. 1 of 90 European Region funds for three years and No. 9 of 83 for five years ending 12/31/07. The fund's inception date was 8/31/00. Had fees not been waived and/or expenses reimbursed in the past, the rankings could have been lower. Using the investment team's time-tested Earnings, Quality and Valuation (EQV) approach, this fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in reasonably priced, quality small-cap European companies demonstrating consistent and improving earnings growth - growth not yet reflected in the price of the stock. The Fund is managed by Jason Holzer (lead) and Borge Endresen (assisted by the Europe/Canadian team).

AIM Floating Rate Fund (A Shares) was ranked No. 1 of 40 Loan Participation Funds for three years and No. 2 of 21 for five years ending 12/31/07. Had fees not been waived and/or expenses reimbursed in the past, the rankings could have been lower. The fund seeks to provide a high level of current income, and secondarily, preservation of principal by investing at least 80% of its assets in senior secured floating rate loans and other leveraged bank loan-related securities. The fund is managed by Thomas Ewald (lead) and Gregory Stoeckle.

AIM European Growth Fund (A Shares), also using the EQV investment approach, was ranked No. 1 of 36 European Region Funds for 10 years, No. 42 of 83 for five years and No. 57 of 90 for three years ending 12/31/07. The fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in reasonably priced, quality European companies of all market capitalizations with strong fundamentals and/or accelerating earnings growth. The fund is managed by Clas Olsson (lead-large caps) and Jason Holzer (lead-small and mid caps), Matthew Dennis, Borge Endresen and Richard Nield (assisted by the Europe/Canada team).

The Lipper Fund Awards program highlights funds that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance, relative to peers. The awards are given to funds in 21 countries in Asia, Europe and the United States. Lipper designates award-winning funds in most individual classifications for the three-, five- and 10-year periods.

Lipper Fund Awards are based on Lipper's Consistent Return calculation. Lipper scores for Consistent Return reflect funds' historical risk-adjusted returns relative to funds in the same Lipper classification and include each fund's expenses and reinvested distributions, but exclude sales charges. Classification averages are calculated with all eligible share classes for each eligible classification. The highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return (Effective Return) value within each eligible classification determines the fund classification winner over three, five or 10 years.

Lipper Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Reuters, is a leading global provider of mutual fund information and analysis to fund companies, financial intermediaries and media organizations.
