The Invesco Discovery Fund outperformed its Russell 2000 Growth benchmark in Q1 2026, returning 6.39% versus -2.81% for the index. Performance was driven primarily by stock selection, with strength in information technology and industrials offsetting weakness in financials. The fund's constructive outlook was temporarily disrupted by Middle East conflict creating supply shocks to oil and commodities, spurring bearish recalibration of growth and inflation expectations. Management prioritized risk management pending conflict resolution but maintains focus on premier growth compounders. Key contributors included Lumentum, Tower Semiconductor, and Advanced Energy Industries, all benefiting from AI-driven demand for semiconductor equipment and optical connectivity. The fund added positions in Knight-Swift, Onto Innovation, and Viavi while selling Lumentum, StepStone, and Rocket Lab due to market cap constraints or sector concerns. With 91 holdings and concentrated exposure to technology and industrials, the fund continues targeting companies positioned to benefit from technology innovation disrupting the global economy.
The fund focuses on premier growth compounders benefiting from technology-driven innovation that continues to disrupt large portions of the global economy, particularly in AI infrastructure and semiconductor equipment.
The managers anticipate a resilient economy, solid corporate profit progress, active M&A activity and high-profile IPOs once the Middle East conflict resolves. They remain focused on capturing opportunities in premier growth compounders driven by technology innovation.

| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| KNX | Knight-Swift is the largest truckload carrier in the US with over 20,000 trucks. We believe the company is well positioned to benefit from tight capacity in the truckload industry and external growth opportunities in the long term. |
| ONTO | Onto Innovation provides process control, inspection and metrology tools for semiconductor manufacturing. We initiated a position because the semiconductor equipment industry has been experiencing strong demand due to robust AI spending. |
| VIAV | Viavi provides test, measurement, monitoring and assurance solutions using optical networks. We replaced the fund's position in Lumentum with Viavi, which we believe will benefit from the same trends. |
| LITE | Lumentum is a leading provider of advanced optical connectivity solutions used in cloud and AI-driven data center networks. We sold the position because its market cap increased beyond the fund's typical investment range. Lumentum provides advanced optical connectivity solutions. The stock benefited from a strong earnings report and rising AI-related demand for high-speed optical connectivity. |
| STEP | StepStone is a private markets investment firm. The stock price underperformed due to concerns about the private credit industry. Although the company is a solutions provider mainly exposed to private equity and secondaries rather than credit, the stock still underperformed as investors appeared to move away from the overall alternative asset manager group. Given this increased controversy, we sold the position. |
| RKLB | Rocket Lab launches small satellites and builds space systems. We sold the position because its market cap increased beyond the fund's typical investment range. |
| TSEM | Tower Semiconductor is a foundry of analog semiconductor solutions. During the quarter, the company announced an increase in fabrication facility capacity and management's long-term guidance indicated strong momentum for multi-year revenue growth. |
| AEIS | Advanced Energy Industries designs precision power and measurement solutions. The stock price appreciated as the semiconductor equipment industry experienced strong demand due to robust AI spending. |
| WGS | GeneDx provides genetic testing and diagnostics for inherited diseases. Management reported solid financial results during the quarter, but the stock underperformed due to concerns about slowing growth and difficult revenue comparisons in 2026. We still expect the genetic testing business to deliver strong volume growth and improved reimbursement levels. |
| IRTC | iRhythm develops wearable cardiac monitors and data-driven heart rhythm diagnostics. Management reported solid financial results during the quarter but unfortunately disclosed a new issue with the US Food and Drug Administration that will likely take time to resolve. We have reduced the fund's position size. |
