Fund Details
Invesco Income A Overview
Invesco Income A (AGOVX) is an actively managed Taxable Bond Securitized Bond - Diversified fund. Invesco launched the fund in 1987.
The investment seeks current income, and secondarily, capital appreciation. The fund invests primarily in fixed-income securities and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. A significant portion of these securities consists of privately-issued mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities such as commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). The fund invests in below-investment grade securities.

Invesco Income A has 209 securities in its portfolio. The top 10 holdings constitute 40.6% of the fund’s assets. The fund meets the SEC requirement of being classified as a diversified fund.

Assets Under Management
The fund has $223 million in total assets, which is below the $547 million average for the Securitized Bond - Diversified category. Normally, lower assets under management translates to higher average expense ratios, and greater total assets are desired. However, for some investment categories, such as small-cap investing, it may be difficult for the manager to fully employ the desired active strategy if assets grow too large or too quickly.
AGOVX Performance and Fees
The expense ratio measures how much of a fund’s assets are used for administrative expenses and operating expenses, including adviser fees and fees for the transfer agent and custodial services. The Invesco Income A expense ratio is high compared to funds in the Securitized Bond - Diversified category. Invesco Income A has an expense ratio of 1.01%, which is 2% higher than its category average, making the fund expense ratio grade a D. While it is difficult to predict returns, it is known that high annual expense ratios reduce your rate of return, and excessive fees are difficult to overcome. Active management normally comes with higher expense ratios than passive index management. Certain investment categories such as small company and foreign also normally have higher expense ratios. It is best to compare fund expense ratios against the category averages for meaningful assessments.
High portfolio turnover can translate to higher expenses and lower aftertax returns. Invesco Income A has a portfolio turnover rate of 219%, indicating that holds its assets around 0.0 years. By way of comparison, the average portfolio turnover is 361% for the Securitized Bond - Diversified category.
Recently, in the month of July 2026, Invesco Income A returned -1.0%, which earned it a grade of D, as the Securitized Bond - Diversified category had an average return of -0.7%. The letter grades of A, B, C, D and F are based upon relative rankings within the investment category. A grade of A, for example, would indicate that the return is in the highest 20% for that time period compared to all funds in that category.
Invesco Income A has a trailing yield of 5.08%, which is below the 5.10% category average. The fund normally distributes its income monthly and its capital gains annually.
It’s natural to seek the best-performing investments, but you must consider the relationship between risk and return and the impact of costs and taxes on your realized returns.
