Objective
The Invesco Stable Value Portfolio invests 100% of its assets in the Invesco Stable Value separate account. The Invesco Stable Value separate account invests in investment contracts (also referred to as "wrap contracts") and seeks to produce a stable return while avoiding negative returns. In most market environments, it should provide investors with a higher return than a money market fund while striving to maintain liquidity for Account Owner-initiated transactions and safety of principal.
Style
Short Term Maturity, High Quality
The portfolio invests in investment contracts (also referred to as "wrap contracts") that seek to provide stable returns in most market environments.
- Preservation of principal. Seeks to preserve principal using a unique "building block" approach to portfolio construction that provides diversification across high-quality fixed income sectors and subsectors.
- High-quality partners. Typically consists of five to seven individually negotiated wrap contracts issued by high-quality banks and insurance companies, which are designed to provide a consistent rate of return, while preserving capital.
- Flexible structure. Portfolio's structure allows it to adjust positions in an effort to reduce risk or enhance returns in response to changing market conditions.
Diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of loss.

About risk
Risks of the Underlying Holding
There are risks that a wrap contract issuer may default which could result in loss of principal. Cost incurred to buy wrap contracts reduces Portfolio performance. New wrap contracts may have less favorable terms or higher costs. Poor market value performance may lead to constrained Portfolio investments and reduce performance. Termination of a wrap contract could result in loss of book value coverage.
Wrap contract crediting rates may be affected, positively or negatively, if a large number of participants request redemptions from the Portfolio or add new contributions to the Portfolio. The Portfolios credited rate will generally lag market interest rates.
Fixed-income investments are subject to credit risk of the issuer and the effects of changing interest rates. Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise and vice versa. An issuer may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
The Portfolio is subject to certain other risks. Please see the current Program Description for more information regarding the risks associated with an investment in the Portfolio.
