Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

How we investOur strategy aims to exploit market ineffi ciencies by investing in companies that appear undervalued relative to the market in general. Ultimately, we believe the market will recognize the value in these companies, and we will sell as the stock prices begin to refl ect their intrinsic value. We feel that stock selection, as opposed to making sector bets, may provide a more consistent opportunity for success. In addition, investors can take advantage of pricing anomalies by purchasing undervalued stocks before a recognizable catalyst arises.

The Fund’s investable universe includes all large-cap U.S.-denominated equities. To distill these investments, we fi rst fi lter for companies with suffi cient liquidity. We fi lter the remaining securities on valu-ation metrics depending upon the growth or cyclical nature of their business. The

result of this fi ltering process is a pool of highly liquid securities that we believe are statistically inexpensive relative to the broader market. Companies identifi ed in the fi ltering process are thoroughly ana-lyzed to assess intrinsic value and their ability to achieve fair value.

We will initiate a purchase of a security only if we believe the potential for stock price appreciation outweighs potential downside risk. To be eligible for inclusion in the Fund, a stock must meet the follow-ing criteria:• It is statistically cheap on the basis of

its primary valuation criteria, which depends upon the cyclical or growth nature of its business.

• Rigorous fundamental analysis shows that the company is undervalued and possesses potential fi nancial strength and improved quality of management for future growth.

Portfolio construction is bottom up and stock specifi c, concentrating on individ-ual company fundamental analysis and valuations. Therefore, while we monitor and are aware of our positions relative to the benchmark, it does not play a major role in the construction of the Fund.

We seek to manage risk with portfolio construction, mainly though diversifi ca-tion across most major sectors, and through the assistance of an independent quantitative risk control group. Risk man-agement is continuous. The Fund is regu-larly reviewed to ensure it is optimally constructed on a risk/reward basis. We have the fi nal say on the construction of the Fund, and there is a collegial relation-ship between the risk management team and the Fund team.

Our sell discipline is just as important as the buy decision and is based on the same principles: relative value and funda-mentals. While no sale is automatic, a security is typically sold if it meets one or more of the following criteria:• We believe the target price has been

realized, and we no longer consider the company undervalued.

• We determine that a better value opportunity can be found elsewhere.

• Our research shows that a company is experiencing deteriorating funda-mentals beyond what we feel to be a tolerable level, and the trend is likely to be a long-term issue.

Market conditions and your FundThe fi scal year began with equity markets fueled by the second round of “quantita-tive easing” by the U.S. Federal Reserve, and markets rose through the fi rst quarter of 2011. However, with the spring came increased volatility and signifi cant macroeconomic distortions due to civil unrest in Egypt and Libya, fl ooding in Australia and a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Corporate earnings remained strong with largely positive surprises, but were often overshadowed by investor concerns about continuing high unemployment and soft housing data. Although markets stabilized and were generally in positive territory through the summer, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in August as the U.S. government struggled to raise the nation’s debt ceiling. Despite an eventual agreement between the White House and Congress, credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s announced the fi rst-ever downgrade to long-term U.S. government debt. Uncertainty created by the downgrade combined with the

Performance summaryFor the year ended December 31, 2011, Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Fund’s perfor-mance was mixed among sectors, with stock selection in the health care, consumer discretionary (specifi cally media companies) and telecommunication sectors contrib-uting to relative performance. Alternatively, stock selection and an underweight position in the energy sector detracted the most from the Fund’s performance versus its style-specifi c benchmark.

continuing saga surrounding the debt crisis in the eurozone reignited fears of a global recession. Despite evidence of sustained, but muted, growth, these macroeconomic factors continued to weigh on markets through the end of the reporting period.

Results were mixed among the sectors of the Russell 1000 Value Index, with cyclical sectors such as fi nancials, materials and information technology (IT) posting negative returns, while defensive sectors such as health care and consumer staples fared better, posting double-digit positive returns.

On the positive side, strong stock selection in the health care sector was the largest contributor to Fund performance. Health care provider UnitedHealth Group and pharmaceuti-cals companies Bristol-Myers Squibb and GlaxoSmithKline were top per-formers in this sector on a relative and absolute basis.

Stock selection and a signifi cant over-weight position in the consumer discre-tionary sector also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s main consumer discretionary exposure was in the media companies industry. Viacom and Comcast were top perform-ers during the reporting period, continu-ing the trend from the previous fi scal year.

Favorable stock selection in the tele-communication services sector also con-tributed to Fund performance. Notably, Vodafone Group was one of the largest relative contributors in this sector. Not owning holdings such as Sprint Nextel also helped relative Fund performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index.

Unfavorable stock selection and a slight underweight position in the energy sector were the largest detractors from Fund performance. Specifi cally, the Fund had exposure to oil equipment and services companies Halliburton and Weatherford, which were two of the main detractors in this sector. Both holdings were affected by decreasing profi t mar-gins from international drilling efforts that fell through during the economic slowdown in Europe and overseas, causing earnings expectations to be lowered, thereby, negatively affecting the stock price.

Unfavorable stock selection and a meaningful overweight to IT companies also hurt Fund performance relative to the style-specifi c index. Hardware and internet-related stocks, including Cisco Systems and Hewlett-Packard, per-formed poorly over the reporting period.

Cisco Systems’ stock declined on cautious guidance regarding company revenue forecasts and worries of IT spending cuts from both the U.S. government and corporations. Hewlett-Packard’s stock declined on concerns of overpaying for the acquisition of an enterprise software company. The company’s CEO was replaced in September of 2011 by Meg Whitman, the former CEO of eBay.

A material underweight exposure to the utilities sector was a major detractor from Fund performance. Utilities was the best performing sector for the reporting period, as investors sought defensive oriented, dividend yielding stocks during the market turmoil.

Finally, stock selection in the fi nancials sector acted as a detractor from relative Fund performance for the year. Notably, exposure to diversifi ed fi nancials like Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Bank of New York Mellon detracted from both absolute and relative Fund performance as investors fl ed bank stocks beginning in the summer of 2011 on concerns of European debt crisis contagion.

Toward the end of the reporting period, we reduced our exposure to select media, pharmaceuticals and insurance compa-nies due to rising valuations, using the proceeds to increase the Fund’s exposure to select diversifi ed fi nancial, banking, property and casualty insurance and integrated oil companies as they came under pressure.

We believe in our contrarian philosophy and deep value approach of buying extremely undervalued companies, and capitalizing on market volatility and peri-ods of down markets as value is created for new investment opportunities.

As a result, charts now may include benchmarks that did not appear previously, because the funds’ inception pre-dated the benchmarks’ inception. Also, all charts will now be presented using a linear format.

Principal risks of investing in the FundMarket risk. Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the market as a whole. Investments in equity securities generally are affected by changes in the stock markets which fluctuate substan-tially over time, sometimes suddenly and sharply. The ability of the Fund’s investment holdings to generate income depends on the earnings and the continu-ing declaration of dividends by the issu-ers of such securities. The value of a convertible security tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying equity security.

Small- and medium-sized companies risk. During an overall stock market decline, stock prices of small- or medium-sized companies often fluctuate more than stock prices of larger companies or the market averages in general. In addi-tion, such companies typically are subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than are larger companies and may be less liquid than larger-sized companies. In addition, small- and medium-sized companies may have more limited markets, financial resources and product lines, and may lack the depth of management of larger companies.

Value investing. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than the returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock markets.

Foreign risks. The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers, can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in secu-rities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues.

Futures risk. A decision as to whether, when and how to use futures involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even a well-conceived futures transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events.

Options risk. A decision as to whether, when and how to use options involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even a well-conceived option transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. The prices of options can be highly volatile and the use of options can lower total returns.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) risk. Investing in REITs makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses. In addition, REITs depend upon specialized manage-ment skills, may be less diversified, may have lower trading volume, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.

Derivative instruments risk. Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to certain transactions; risks that the trans-actions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid.

The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for fi nancial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2011

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”).The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series managementinvestment company consisting of twenty-eight separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio areaccounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted onexclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurancecompanies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded byshares of each Fund or class.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital growth and income through investments in equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks andsecurities convertible into common and preferred stocks.

The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variableannuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.A. Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of thecustomary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, thesecurity may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished byindependent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued.Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the meanbetween the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by anindependent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contractsgenerally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset valueper share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or officialclosing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund

Page 10: Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund · 2020. 5. 2. · Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund Annual Report to Shareholders • December 31, 2011 The Fund provides a complete list

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service.Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such asinstitution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate,maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securitiesinvolve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close ofthe NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the marketquotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. Ifbetween the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant andmake the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the securitywill be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also bebased on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in theprincipal market where a foreign security trade is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree ofcertainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factorsmay be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sectorindices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange ratechanges, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relativelylow market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources.The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, includingCorporate Loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under thesupervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers andinformation providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, generaleconomic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in thefinancial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losseson sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date.Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Anyproceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) forinvestments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or areduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) frominvestment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses)on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, theyreduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported inthe Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investmentincome reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.C. Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the

investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include thelaws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or moreof its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may beevaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guaranteesand enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be theUnited States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D. Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurancecompanies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.

E. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify asa regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject tofederal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision forfederal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxingauthorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F. Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are chargedto the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Statesof America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of thefinancial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related totaxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions thatmay occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified againstcertain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters intocontracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under thesearrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss asa result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investmentadvisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

Average Daily Net Assets Rate

First $500 million 0.60%

Over $500 million 0.55%

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco AssetManagement Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management,Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any suchAffiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to suchSub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit totalannual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.62% and Series IIshares to 0.87% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses arenot taken into account, and could cause total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above:(1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that theFund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend orcontinue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $3,452,557.Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of

the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money marketfunds.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costsincurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid toinsurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurancecompanies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existingparticipants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2011, Invesco was paid $403,421 for accounting and fund administrative services andreimbursed $4,344,823 for services provided by insurance companies.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed topay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course ofproviding such services. For the year ended December 31, 2011, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transferagent fees.

The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust hasadopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDIcompensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily netassets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and ownSeries II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2011, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations asdistribution fees.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, Invesco Ltd., IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants atthe measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund

Page 12: Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund · 2020. 5. 2. · Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund Annual Report to Shareholders • December 31, 2011 The Fund provides a complete list

to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs(Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tieredinto one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a

security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, defaultrates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example,when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputsreflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments andwould be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2011. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be anindication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in thefinancial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total

Equity Securities $1,785,482,519 $14,479,098 $— $1,799,961,617

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by theBoard of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund orportfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/orcommon officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price.Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $4,487,703 and securities sales of $3,290,556,which resulted in net realized gains of $1,332,073.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees havethe option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund suchdeferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shallbe deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement toTrustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement planand receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits.Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,481 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel tothe Independent Trustees. A partner of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.

The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Tocompensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodianbank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank andInvesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:

2011

Undistributed ordinary income $ 28,656,730

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — investments (190,634,742)

Temporary book/tax differences (73,220)

Capital loss carryforward (483,113,406)

Shares of beneficial interest 2,435,550,019

Total net assets $1,790,385,381

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losseson investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporarybook/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount ofcapital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) eliminated theeight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capitallosses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all netcapital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their character as either short-term orlong-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limitedunder the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited toutilizing 481,267,851 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

The Fund utilized $72,219,646 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fundhas a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2011, which expires as follows:

Expiration Short-Term

Capital Loss Carryforward*

December 31, 2016 $142,015,578

December 31, 2017 341,097,828

$483,113,406

* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that unrealized gains as of May 2,2011, the date of reorganization of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund into the Fund are realized on securities held in each fund at such date of reorganization, the capital losscarryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the dates of the reorganization.

NOTE 8—Investment Securities

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and soldby the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2011 was $452,447,329 and $445,575,544, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes theadjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis

Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities $ 130,625,724

Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities (321,260,466)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities $(190,634,742)

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,990,596,359.

NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of Convertible Preferred transactions and Fair Fund Payments, on December 31, 2011, undistributed netinvestment income was increased by $245,580 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $245,580. Further, as a result of tax deferrals acquiredin the reorganization of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund into the Fund, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $3,899, undistributed netrealized gain was decreased by $6,326,412 and shares of beneficial interest increased by $6,330,311. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets of theFund.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements ofoperations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco VanKampen V.I. Comstock Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred toas the “Fund”) at December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financialhighlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’smanagement; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of thesefinancial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards requirethat we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Anaudit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accountingprinciples used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that ouraudits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonablebasis for our opinion. The financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independentauditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); and other Fund expenses. Thisexample is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investingin other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2011through December 31, 2011.

The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variableproduct; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amountyou invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value dividedby $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate theexpenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and anassumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. Youmay use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparingongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.2 Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
