SUPPLEMENT DATED SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 TO THE CURRENT
SUMMARY AND STATUTORY PROSPECTUSES AND STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR:
Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund
(the "Fund")
Important Notice Regarding Change in Fund Name and Investment Policy
The purpose of this supplement is to provide you notice of changes to the current Prospectuses and Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") of the above referenced Fund. You should read this supplement in conjunction with the Summary Prospectus, Statutory Prospectus and SAI and retain it for future reference.
At a meeting held on September 9-11, 2024, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the "Trust") approved changes to the name and principal investment strategies of the Fund. In connection with the changes approved by the Board, the Fund will adopt a non-fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in investments suggested by the Fund's name, as set out below. The Fund's investment objective to seek capital appreciation will not change and the changes discussed herein will not materially impact the way the Fund is managed.
Effective on or about December 20, 2024, the Fund's Summary and Statutory Prospectuses and SAI will be revised to reflect the following:
1. The Fund will be renamed "Invesco Discovery Large Cap Fund."
2. The following information will replace in its entirety the section under the heading "Fund Summary- Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund":
The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of "growth companies." Growth companies are companies that the portfolio managers expect to have above-average growth rates. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of "large-cap" issuers, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund defines a large-capitalization issuer to be one that has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of market capitalizations of the issuers included in the Russell 1000 Growth Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month. This range is subject to change at any time due to market activity or changes in the composition of that index. A company's "market capitalization" is the value of its outstanding stock.
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. companies but may also purchase securities of issuers in any country, including developed countries and emerging markets. The Fund has no limits on the amount of its assets that can be invested in foreign securities.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers look for companies with high growth potential using a "bottom-up" stock selection process. The "bottom-up" approach focuses on fundamental analysis of individual issuers before considering the impact of overall economic, market or industry trends. This approach includes analysis of a company's financial statements and management structure and consideration of the company's operations, product development, and its industry position. The portfolio managers currently focus on what they believe to be high-growth companies that are characterized by industry leadership, market share growth, high caliber management teams, sustainable competitive advantages, and strong growth themes or new innovative products or services. The portfolio managers monitor individual issuers for changes in the factors above, which may trigger a decision to sell a security, but does not require a decision to do so. The factors considered by the portfolio managers may vary in particular cases and may change over time.
The Fund is non-diversified, which means it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in a small group of issuers or any one issuer than a diversified fund can.
3. The following information will replace in its entirety the section under the heading "Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings - Objective(s) and Strategies":
The Fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund's investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.

The Fund invests primarily in U.S. companies but may also purchase securities of issuers in any country, including developed countries and emerging markets.

Foreign securities are those of issuers that are organized under the laws of a foreign country or that have a substantial portion of their operations or assets in a foreign country or countries, or that derive a substantial portion of their revenue or profits from businesses, investments or sales outside of the United States, or whose "country of risk" is a foreign country as determined by a third party service provider.
While the Fund mainly invests in common stock, it may also invest in other equity securities, such as preferred stock, rights, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.

If the Fund's portfolio managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund's performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
