FAQ

Get timely answers to important questions regarding this product.

High yield municipal bonds typically pay higher yields than investment grade municipal bonds to compensate investors for higher credit and liquidity risks.

Municipal bonds are attractive in taxable accounts because the income they produce is exempt from federal income taxes and may also be exempt from state and local taxes. Adding municipal bonds may also provide diversification for fixed income portfolios.

Our approach to investing aims to deliver a highly competitive yield while diversifying both sector and individual security risks. The Invesco Municipal Bond Fund 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.
