Investment Objective. The Portfolio seeks aboveaverage capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategy. The Portfolioseeks to achieve its objective by investing in aportfolio of stocks that Invesco Capital Markets, Inc.,the Sponsor, believes to have material exposure tothe global water industry. The Sponsor onlyconsidered for the Portfolio stocks that have beenidentified by BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research ashaving "material" -either High or Medium - exposureto the theme outlined in the April 4, 2014 report titled“Blue Revolution - global water primer” (“WaterReport”). From among the stocks included in theWater Report, BofA Merrill Lynch Global Researchanalysts identified the stocks for which they alsomaintained a “Buy” rating at the time of their May 13,2014 report titled “Global Megatrends – QuarterlyPrimer Picks” (“Primer Picks”).

The Sponsor believes that water scarcity is agrowing global concern because of the number ofpeople that have no access to clean drinking water andhave no access to proper sanitation. Four categories ofcompanies were identified by BofA Merrill Lynch GlobalResearch as having exposure to the water theme: 1) Treatment; 2) Management; 3) Infrastructure &Supply; and 4) Water-friendly Energy.

In selecting the Portfolio, the Sponsor focusedprimarily on global water industry stocks identified in thePrimer Picks report as having a “Buy” rating on May 13,2014. However, the Sponsor also considered stocks inthe broader list of Water Report stocks. The Sponsoralso considered factors including a stock’s liquidity andthe exchange upon which a company’s stock trades inmaking the final selections for the Portfolio.

The stocks included in the Water Report and in thePrimer Picks report were determined and composed byBofA Merrill Lynch Global Research without regard tothe Portfolio or its Unitholders. Securities may havereceived from BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research a“Buy” rating, as reflected in the May 13, 2014 PrimerPicks report, based upon factors unrelated to a stock’s

exposure to the water industry, and further, a Securitymay no longer have a “Buy” rating as of the Initial Dateof Deposit. Additionally, you should note that theSecurities were selected on the basis of the criteria setforth above and that the Portfolio may continue topurchase or hold Securities, notwithstanding the factthat BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research may haverevised its rating and/or opinion with respect to anyindividual Security based on the selection processemployed by BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research whenpreparing an original report or any subsequent report. Inparticular, any subsequent publication of a similar typeof list of stocks or an update of any above referencedreport by BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research will notaffect the composition of the Portfolio.

Principal Risks. As with all investments, you canlose money by investing in this Portfolio. The Portfolioalso might not perform as well as you expect. This canhappen for reasons such as these:

• Security prices will fluctuate. The value ofyour investment may fall over time.

• An issuer may be unwilling or unable todeclare dividends in the future, or mayreduce the level of dividends declared.This may result in a reduction in the value ofyour Units.

• The financial condition of an issuer mayworsen or its credit ratings may drop,resulting in a reduction in the value ofyour Units. This may occur at any point intime, including during the initial offering period.

• Stocks of foreign companies in thePortfolio present risks beyond those ofU.S. issuers. These r isks may includemarket and political factors related to thecompany’s foreign market, international tradeconditions, less regulation, smaller or lessliquid markets, increased volatility, differingaccounting practices and changes in the valueof foreign currencies.

• The Portfolio is concentrated in securitiesissued by companies in both the waterutilities and infrastructure sector and theindustrials sector. Negative developments ineither of these sectors will affect the value of yourinvestment more than would be the case in amore diversified investment.

• The Portfolio entails strategy risk.Although the Portfolio’s investment strategy isdesigned to achieve the Portfolio’s investmentobjective, the strategy may not prove to besuccessful. The Portfolio’s strategy selectssecurities that may benefit from an environmentin which water distress has had a substantialglobal impact. However, such an environmentmay not occur during the life of the Portfolio andthe securities purchased may not perform asexpected, possibly reducing the Portfolio’sreturn. There is no assurance that the strategywil l perform as anticipated or enable thePortfolio to achieve its objective.

• We do not actively manage the Portfolio.Except in limited circumstances, the Portfolio willhold, and continue to buy, shares of the samesecurities even if their market value declines.

Fee Table

The amounts below are estimates of the direct and indirectexpenses that you may incur based on a $10 Public Offering Price perUnit. Actual expenses may vary.

Estimated Organization Costs % $___________ ____________ ______

Estimated Annual Expenses Trustee’s fee and operating expenses % $_____Supervisory, bookkeeping

and administrative fees 0.550______ ______

Total % $_____*______ ____________ ______

Example

This example helps you compare the cost of the Portfolio with otherunit trusts and mutual funds. In the example we assume that theexpenses do not change and that the Portfolio’s annual return is 5%. Youractual returns and expenses will vary. This example also assumes thatyou continue to follow the Portfolio strategy and roll your investment,including all distributions, into a new trust each year subject to a reducedrollover sales charge of 1.95%. Based on these assumptions, you wouldpay the following expenses for every $10,000 you invest in the Portfolio:

1 year $3 years5 years10 years

* The estimated annual expenses are based upon the estimated trust sizefor the Portfolio determined as of the initial date of deposit. Becausecertain of the operating expenses are fixed amounts, if the Portfolio doesnot reach the estimated size, or if the value of the Portfolio or number ofoutstanding units decline over the life of the trust, or if the actual amountof the operating expenses exceeds the estimated amounts, the actualamount of the operating expenses per 100 units would exceed theestimated amounts. In some cases, the actual amount of operatingexpenses may substantially differ from the amounts reflected above.

The maximum sales charge is 2.95% of the Public Offering Price perUnit. The initial sales charge is the difference between the total salescharge (maximum of 2.95% of the Public Offering Price) and the sum ofthe remaining deferred sales charge and the total creation anddevelopment fee. The deferred sales charge is fixed at $0.145 per Unit andaccrues daily from _______ 10, ____ through _______ 9, ____. YourPortfolio pays a proportionate amount of this charge on the 10th day ofeach month beginning in the accrual period until paid in full. Thecombination of the initial and deferred sales charges comprises the“transactional sales charge”. The creation and development fee is fixed at$0.05 per Unit and is paid at the earlier of the end of the initial offeringperiod (anticipated to be three months) or six months following the InitialDate of Deposit.

Contracts to acquire Securities were entered into on _______, 2014 andhave a settlement date of _______, 2014 (see “The Portfolio”).

(2) The value of each Security is determined on the bases set forth under “Public Offering--Unit Price” as of the close of theNew York Stock Exchange on the business day before the Initial Date of Deposit. In accordance with FASB AccountingStandards Codification (“ASC”), ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Portfolio’s investments areclassified as Level 1, which refers to security prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identicalsecurities.

(3) Current Dividend Yield for each Security is based on the estimated annual dividends per share and the Security’s valueas of the most recent close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day before the Initial Date ofDeposit.

THE PORTFOLIO

The Portfolio was created under the laws of the Stateof New York pursuant to a Trust Indenture and TrustAgreement (the “Trust Agreement”), dated the date ofthis prospectus (the “Initial Date of Deposit”), amongInvesco Capital Markets, Inc., as Sponsor, InvescoInvestment Advisers LLC, as Supervisor, and The Bankof New York Mellon, as Trustee.

The Portfolio offers investors the opportunity topurchase Units representing proportionate interests in aportfolio of securities. The Portfolio may be an appropriatemedium for investors who desire to participate in aportfolio of securities with greater diversification than theymight be able to acquire individually.

On the Initial Date of Deposit, the Sponsor depositeddelivery statements relating to contracts for thepurchase of the Securities and an irrevocable letter ofcredit in the amount required for these purchases withthe Trustee. In exchange for these contracts the Trusteedelivered to the Sponsor documentation evidencing theownership of Units of the Portfolio. Unless otherwiseterminated as provided in the Trust Agreement, thePortfolio will terminate on the Mandatory TerminationDate and any remaining Securities will be liquidated ordistributed by the Trustee within a reasonable time. Asused in this prospectus the term “Securities” means thesecurities (including contracts to purchase thesesecurities) listed in the “Portfolio” and any additionalsecurities deposited into the Portfolio.

Additional Units of the Portfolio may be issued at anytime by deposit ing in the Portfol io ( i ) addit ionalSecurities, (ii) contracts to purchase Securities togetherwith cash or irrevocable letters of credit or (iii) cash (or aletter of credit or the equivalent) with instructions topurchase additional Securities. As additional Units areissued by the Portfolio, the aggregate value of theSecurities will be increased and the fractional undividedinterest represented by each Unit may be decreased.The Sponsor may continue to make additional depositsinto the Portfolio following the Initial Date of Depositprovided that the additional deposits will be in amountswhich will maintain, as nearly as practicable, the samepercentage relationship among the number of shares of

each Security in the Portfolio that existed immediatelyprior to the subsequent deposit. Investors mayexperience a dilution of their investments and areduction in their anticipated income because offluctuations in the prices of the Securities between thetime of the deposit and the purchase of the Securitiesand because the Portfolio will pay the associatedbrokerage or acquisit ion fees. Due to round lotrequirements in certain foreign securities markets andmarket value fluctuations, your Portfolio may not be ableto invest in each Security on any subsequent date ofdeposit in the same proportion as existed on the InitialDate of Deposit or immediately prior to the subsequentdeposit of Securities. This could increase the potentialfor dilution of investments and variances in anticipatedincome. In addition, during the initial offering of Units itmay not be possible to buy a particular Security due toregulatory or trading restrictions, or corporate actions.While such limitations are in effect, additional Unitswould be created by purchasing each of the Securities inyour Portfolio that are not subject to those limitations.This would also result in the dilution of the investment inany such Security not purchased and potential variancesin anticipated income. Purchases and sales of Securitiesby your Portfolio may impact the value of the Securities.This may especially be the case during the initial offeringof Units, upon Portfolio termination and in the course ofsatisfying large Unit redemptions.

Each Unit of your Portfolio initially offered representsan undivided interest in the Portfolio. At the close of theNew York Stock Exchange on the Init ial Date ofDeposit, the number of Units may be adjusted so thatthe Public Offering Price per Unit equals $10. Thenumber of Units, fractional interest of each Unit in yourPortfolio and the estimated distributions per Unit willincrease or decrease to the extent of any adjustment.To the extent that any Units are redeemed by theTrustee or additional Units are issued as a result ofadditional Securities being deposited by the Sponsor,the fractional undivided interest in your Portfoliorepresented by each unredeemed Unit will increase ordecrease accordingly, although the actual interest inyour Portfolio will remain unchanged. Units will remainoutstanding until redeemed upon tender to the Trustee

by Unitholders, which may include the Sponsor, or untilthe termination of the Trust Agreement.

The Portfolio consists of (a) the Securities (includingcontracts for the purchase thereof) l isted under“Portfolio” as may continue to be held from time to timein the Portfolio, (b) any additional Securities acquiredand held by the Portfolio pursuant to the provisions ofthe Trust Agreement and (c) any cash held in the relatedIncome and Capital Accounts. Neither the Sponsor northe Trustee shall be liable in any way for any contractfailure in any of the Securities.

OBJECTIVE AND SECURITIES SELECTION

The objective of the Portfolio is described on page 2.There is no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve itsobjective.

The Sponsor does not manage the Portfolio. Youshould note that the Sponsor applied the selection criteriato the Securities for inclusion in the Portfolio prior to theInitial Date of Deposit. After this time, the Securities mayno longer meet the selection criteria. Should a Security nolonger meet the selection criteria, we will generally notremove the Security from the Portfolio.

RISK FACTORS

All investments involve risk. This section describes themain risks that can impact the value of the securities in

Page 12: BofA Merrill Lynch Global Water Picks Portfolio, Series 1 · 2015. 4. 20. · BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research without regard to the Portfolio or its Unitholders. Securities may

your Portfolio. You should understand these risks beforeyou invest. If the value of the securities falls, the value ofyour Units will also fall. We cannot guarantee that yourPortfolio will achieve its objective or that your investmentreturn will be positive over any period.

Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that the value ofthe securities in your Portfolio will fluctuate. This couldcause the value of your Units to fall below your originalpurchase price. Market value fluctuates in response tovarious factors. These can include changes in interestrates, inflation, the financial condition of a security’s issuer,perceptions of the issuer, or ratings on a security of theissuer. Even though your Portfolio is supervised, youshould remember that we do not manage your Portfolio.Your Portfolio will not sell a security solely because themarket value falls as is possible in a managed fund.

Dividend Payment Risk. Dividend payment risk isthe risk that an issuer of a security is unwilling or unableto pay dividends on a security. Stocks representownership interests in the issuers and are not obligationsof the issuers. Common stockholders have a right toreceive dividends only after the company has providedfor payment of its creditors, bondholders and preferredstockholders. Common stocks do not assure dividendpayments. Dividends are paid only when declared by anissuer’s board of directors and the amount of anydividend may vary over time. If dividends received by thePortfolio are insufficient to cover expenses, redemptionsor other Portfolio costs, it may be necessary for thePortfolio to sell Securities to cover such expenses,redemptions or other costs. Any such sales may result incapital gains or losses to you. See “Taxation”.

Strategy Risk. Although the Portfolio’s investmentstrategy is designed to achieve the Portfolio’s investmentobjective, the strategy may not prove to be successful.The Portfolio’s strategy selects securities that may benefitfrom an environment in which water distress has had asubstantial global impact. However, such an environmentmay not occur during the life of the Portfolio and thesecurities purchased may not perform as expected,possibly reducing the Portfolio’s return. There is noassurance that the premise upon which the water themeis based will come to fruition or benefit the stocks in thePortfolio in a manner anticipated by the Sponsor.

Securities Selection. BofAML determined andcomposed the lists of stocks in the Reports withoutregard to the Portfolio or its Unitholders. BofAML has noobligation or liability in connection with the investmentdecisions made by the Sponsor of the Portfolio inconnection with the Portfolio. BofAML may choose forany reason not to recommend any or all of the Securitiesfor another purpose or at a later date. This may affect thevalue of your Units. In addition, BofAML in its generalsecurities business acts as agent or principal inconnection with buying and selling stocks, including theSecurities, and may have bought the Securities for thePortfolio, thereby benefiting. See the “Notes to Portfolio”for specific information concerning BofAML’s investmentbanking and other matters relating to the Securities.

Foreign Stocks. Because the Portfolio investssignificantly in foreign stocks, the Portfolio involvesadditional risks that differ from an investment indomestic stocks. These risks include the risk oflosses due to future pol i t ica l and economicdevelopments, international trade conditions, foreignwithhold ing taxes and restr ict ions on fore igninvestments or exchange of secur i t ies, foreigncurrency fluctuations or restriction on exchange orrepatriation of currencies.

The political, economic and social structures of someforeign countries may be less stable and more volatilethan those in the U.S. Investments in these countries maybe subject to the risks of internal and external conflicts,currency devaluations, foreign ownership limitations andtax increases. It is possible that a government may takeover the assets or operations of a company or imposerestrictions on the exchange or export of currency or otherassets. Some countries also may have different legalsystems that may make it difficult for the Portfolio to voteproxies, exercise investor rights, and pursue legalremedies with respect to its foreign investments.Diplomatic and political developments, including rapid andadverse political changes, social instability, regionalconflicts, terrorism and war, could affect the economies,industries, and securities and currency markets, and thevalue of the Portfolio’s investments, in non-U.S. countries.No one can predict the impact that these factors couldhave on the Portfolio’s securities.

Certain stocks may be held in the form of AmericanDepositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts(“GDRs”), or other similar receipts. ADRs and GDRsrepresent receipts for foreign common stock depositedwith a custodian (which may include the Trustee). TheADRs in the Portfolio, if any, trade in the U.S. in U.S.dollars and are registered with the Securities andExchange Commission (“SEC”). GDRs are receipts,issued by foreign banks or trust companies, or foreignbranches of U.S. banks, that represent an interest inshares of either a foreign or U.S. corporation. Theseinstruments may not necessarily be denominated in thesame currency as the securities into which they may beconverted. ADRs and GDRs generally involve the sametypes of risks as foreign common stock held directly.Some ADRs and GDRs may experience less liquidity thanthe underlying common stocks traded in their homemarket. The Portfolio may invest in sponsored orunsponsored ADRs. Unlike a sponsored ADR where thedepositary has an exclusive relationship with the foreignissuer, an unsponsored ADR may be created by adepositary institution independently and without thecooperation of the foreign issuer. Consequently,information concerning the foreign issuer may be lesscurrent or reliable for an unsponsored ADR and the priceof an unsponsored ADR may be more volatile than if itwas a sponsored ADR. Depositaries of unsponsoredADRs are not required to distribute shareholdercommunications received from the foreign issuer or topass through voting rights to its holders. The holders ofunsponsored ADRs generally bear all the costsassociated with establishing the unsponsored ADR,whereas the foreign issuers typically bear certain costs ina sponsored ADR.

The purchase and sale of the foreign securities mayoccur in foreign securities markets. Certain of the factorsstated above may make it impossible to buy or sell themin a timely manner or may adversely affect the valuereceived on a sale of securities. Custody of certain of thesecurities in the Portfolio may be maintained by a globalcustody and clearing institution which has entered into asub-custodian relationship with the Trustee. In addition,round lot trading requirements exist in certain foreignsecurities markets. These round lot trading requirements

could cause the proportional composit ion anddiversification of the Portfolio’s securities to vary whenthe Portfolio purchases additional securities or sellssecurities to satisfy expenses or Unit redemptions. Thiscould have a material impact on investmentperformance and portfolio composition. Brokeragecommissions and other fees generally are higher forforeign securit ies. Government supervision andregulation of foreign securities markets, currencymarkets, trading systems and brokers may be less thanin the U.S. The procedures and rules governing foreigntransactions and custody (holding of the Portfolio’sassets) also may involve delays in payment, delivery orrecovery of money or investments.

Foreign companies may not be subject to the samedisclosure, accounting, auditing and financial reportingstandards and practices as U.S. companies. Thus,there may be less information publicly available aboutforeign companies than about most U.S. companies.

Certain foreign securities may be less liquid (harder tosell) and more volatile than many U.S. securities. Thismeans the Portfolio may at times be unable to sell foreignsecurities in a timely manner or at favorable prices.

Because securities of foreign issuers not listed on aU.S. securities exchange generally pay dividends andtrade in foreign currencies, the U.S. dollar value of thesesecurities and dividends will vary with fluctuations inforeign exchange rates. Most foreign currencies havefluctuated widely in value against the U.S. dollar forvarious economic and political reasons. To determine thevalue of foreign securities or their dividends, the Trusteewill estimate current exchange rates for the relevantcurrencies based on activity in the various currencyexchange markets. However, these markets can be quitevolatile depending on the activity of the large internationalcommercial banks, various central banks, largemulti-national corporations, speculators and other buyersand sellers of foreign currencies. Since actual foreigncurrency transactions may not be instantly reported, theexchange rates estimated by the Trustee may not reflectthe amount the Portfolio would receive in U.S. dollars,had the Trustee sold any particular currency in themarket. The value of the Securities in terms of U.S.dollars, and therefore the value of your Units, will decline

if the U.S. dollar decreases in value relative to the value ofthe currencies in which the Securities trade.

Industry Risks. Your Portfolio may invest significantlyin certain industries. Any negative impact on the relatedindustry will have a greater impact on the value of Unitsthan on a portfolio diversified over several industries. Youshould understand the risks of these industries beforeyou invest.

Industrials Issuers. The Portfolio invests significantly inindustrials companies. General risks of industrialscompanies include the general state of the economy,intense competition, imposition of import controls,volatility in commodity prices, currency exchange ratefluctuation, consolidation, labor relations, domestic andinternational politics, excess capacity and consumerspending trends. Companies in the industrials sectormay be adversely affected by liability for environmentaldamage and product liability claims. Capital goodscompanies may also be significantly affected by overallcapital spending and leverage levels, economic cycles,technical obsolescence, delays in modernization,limitations on supply of key materials, depletion ofresources, government regulations, governmentcontracts and e-commerce initiatives.

Industrials companies may also be affected by factorsmore specific to their individual industries. Industrialmachinery manufacturers may be subject to declines incommercial and consumer demand and the need formodernization. Aerospace and defense companies maybe influenced by decreased demand for new equipment,aircraft order cancellations, disputes over or ability toobtain or retain government contracts, changes ingovernment budget priorities, changes in aircraft-leasingcontracts and cutbacks in profitable business travel. Thenumber of housing starts, levels of public and non-residential construction including weakening demand fornew office and retail space, and overall constructionspending may adversely affect construction materialsand equipment manufacturers. Stocks of transportationcompanies are cyclical and can be significantly affectedby economic changes, fuel prices and insurance costs.Transportation companies in certain countries may alsobe subject to significant government regulation andoversight, which may negatively impact their businesses.

Utility Issuers. The Portfolio invests significantly inutility companies or in companies related to the utility orenergy industries. Many utility companies, especiallyelectric and gas and other energy related uti l i tycompanies, are subject to various uncertainties,including:

• Risks of increases in fuel and other operatingcosts;

• Restrictions on operations and increasedcosts and delays as a result ofenvironmental, nuclear safety and otherregulations;

• Regulatory restrictions on the ability to passincreasing wholesale costs along to the retailand business customer;

• Coping with the general effects of energyconservation;

• Technological innovations which may renderexisting plants, equipment or productsobsolete;

• The effects of unusual, unexpected orabnormal local weather

• Maturing markets and difficulty in expandingto new markets due to regulatory and otherfactors;

• The potential impact of natural or manmadedisasters;

• Difficulty obtaining adequate returns oninvested capital, even if frequent rateincreases are approved by public servicecommissions;

• The high cost of obtaining financing duringperiods of inflation;

• Difficulties of the capital markets in absorbingutility debt and equity securities;

• Increased competition; and

• International politics.

Any of these factors, or a combination of thesefactors, could affect the supply of or demand for energy,such as electricity or natural gas, or water, or the ability

of the issuers to pay for such energy or water whichcould adversely affect the profitability of the issuers ofthe Securities and the performance of the Portfolio.

Utility companies are subject to extensive regulationat the federal level in the United States, and many areregulated at the state level as well. The value of utilitycompany stocks may decline because governmentalregulation affecting the utilities industry can change. Thisregulation may prevent or delay the utility company frompassing along cost increases to its customers, whichcould hinder the utility company’s ability to meet itsobligations to its suppliers and could lead to the takingof measures, including the acceleration of obligations orthe institution of involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, byits creditors against such utility company. Furthermore,regulatory authorities, which may be subject to politicaland other pressures, may not grant future rateincreases, or may impose accounting or operationalpolicies, any of which could adversely affect acompany’s profitability and its stock price.

Certain utility companies have experienced full orpartial deregulation in recent years. These util itycompanies are frequently more similar to industrialcompanies in that they are subject to greatercompetition and have been permitted by regulators todiversify outside of their original geographic regions andtheir traditional lines of business. These opportunitiesmay permit certain utility companies to earn more thantheir tradit ional regulated rates of return. Somecompanies, however, may be forced to defend their corebusiness and may be less profitable. While regulatedproviders tend to have regulated returns, non-regulatedproviders’ returns are not regulated and generally aremore volatile. These developments have reducedstability of cash flows in those states with non-regulatedproviders and could impact the short-term earningspotential of some in this industry. These trends have alsomade shares of some utility companies less sensitive tointerest rate changes but more sensitive to changes inrevenue and earnings and caused them to reduce theratio of their earnings they pay out as dividends.

Certain utilities companies face risks associated withthe operation of nuclear facilities for electric generation,including, among other considerations, litigation, the

problems associated with the use of radioactive materialsand the effects of natural or man-made disasters. Ingeneral, certain utility companies may face additionalregulation and litigation regarding their power plantoperations, increased costs from new or greaterregulation of these operations, and expenses related tothe purchase of emissions control equipment.

Water Utility & Infrastructure Issuers. The Portfolioinvests significantly in water utility and infrastructurestocks, including industrials companies. General problemsof such issuers include the imposition of rate caps,increased competition due to deregulation, the difficulty inobtaining an adequate return on invested capital or infinancing large construction programs, the limitations onoperations and increased costs and delays attributable toenvironmental considerations, and the capital market’sability to absorb utility debt. In addition, taxes, governmentregulation, international politics, price and supplyfluctuations, volatile interest rates and water conservationmay cause difficulties for water utilities. All of such issuershave been experiencing certain of these problems invarying degrees.

Alternative Energy Issuer Risk. The Portfolio investssignificantly in alternative energy companies. You shouldunderstand the risks of this industry before you invest.

The alternative energy industry can be significantlyaffected by obsolescence of existing technology, shortproduct cycles, falling prices and profits, competitionfrom new market entrants and general economicconditions. Further, the alternative energy industry canbe significantly affected by intense competition andlegislat ion result ing in more str ict governmentregulations and enforcement policies, and can besubject to risks associated with hazardous materials.The alternative energy industry can be significantlyaffected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply anddemand of alternative energy fuels, energyconservation, the success of exploration projects andtax and other government regulations. The industry alsocan be significantly affected by the supply of anddemand for specific products or services, the supply ofand demand for oil and gas, the price of oil and gas,production spending, government regulation, worldevents and economic conditions.

Shares in the companies involved in this industryhave been significantly more volatile than shares ofcompanies operating in other more establ ishedindustries, and may be subject to sharp price declines.Certain valuation methods currently used to valuecompanies involved in the alternative power and powertechnology sectors, particularly those companies thathave not yet traded profitably, have not been inwidespread use for a significant period of time. As aresult, the use of these valuation methods may serve toincrease further the volatility of certain alternative powerand power technology company share prices. Thisindustry sector is relat ively nascent and under-researched in comparison to more established andmature sectors, and should therefore be regarded ashaving greater investment risk.

Changes in U.S., European and other governments’pol icies towards alternative power and powertechnology also may have an adverse effect on thePortfolio’s performance.

The Portfolio may invest in the shares of companieswith a limited operating history, some of which may neverhave traded profitably. Investment in young companieswith a short operating history is generally riskier thaninvestment in companies with a longer operating history.The price of crude oil, natural gas, electricity producedfrom traditional hydropower and that generated fromnuclear power and possibly other as yet undiscoveredenergy sources could potentially have a negative impacton the competitiveness of renewable energies.

Many energy companies are subject to variousuncertainties, including:

• risks of increases in fuel and other operatingcosts;

• restrictions on operations and increased costsand delays as a result of environmental, nuclearsafety and other regulations;

• regulatory restrictions on the ability to passincreasing wholesale costs along to the retail andbusiness customer;

• coping with the general effects of energyconservation;

• technological innovations which may renderexisting plants, equipment or products obsolete;

• the effects of local weather, maturing marketsand difficulty in expanding to new markets due toregulatory and other factors;

• the potential impact of natural or man-madedisasters;

• difficulty obtaining adequate returns on investedcapital, even if frequent rate increases areapproved by public service commissions;

• the high cost of obtaining financing duringperiods of inflation;

• difficulties of the capital markets in absorbingutility debt and equity securities; and

• increased competition.

Any of these factors, or a combination of thesefactors, could affect the supply of or demand forelectricity, natural gas, water or other energy, which couldadversely affect the profitability of alternative energyissuers and the performance of the your Portfolio.

Small Capitalization Companies. Investing instocks of smal l capital izat ion (or “smal l-cap”)companies may involve greater risk than investing instocks of medium and large capitalization companies,since they can be subject to more abrupt or erraticprice movements. Many small-cap companies willhave had their securities publicly traded, if at all, foronly a short period of time and will not have had theopportunity to establish a reliable trading patternthrough economic cycles. The price volatility of small-cap companies is relatively higher than larger, olderand more mature companies. This greater pricevolatility of small-cap companies may result from thefact that there may be less market liquidity, lessinformation publicly available or fewer investors whomonitor the activities of these companies. In addition,the market prices of these securities may exhibit moresensitivity to changes in industry or general economicconditions. Some small-cap companies will not havebeen in existence long enough to experienceeconomic cycles or to demonstrate whether they aresufficiently well managed to survive downturns or

inflationary periods. Further, a variety of factors mayaffect the success of a company's business beyondthe abi l i ty of i ts management to prepare orcompensate for them, including domestic andinternational political developments, government tradeand fiscal policies, patterns of trade and war or othermilitary conflict which may affect industries or marketsor the economy generally.

Legislation/Litigation. From time to time, variouslegislative initiatives are proposed in the United Statesand abroad which may have a negative impact oncertain of the companies represented in the Portfolio oron the tax treatment of your Portfolio or of yourinvestment in the Portfolio. In addition, l it igationregarding any of the issuers of the Securities or of theindustries represented by these issuers may negativelyimpact the share prices of these Securities. No one canpredict what impact any pending or threatened litigationwill have on the share prices of the Securities.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that thevalue of a security will fall if trading in the security islimited or absent. No one can guarantee that a liquidtrading market will exist for any security.

No FDIC Guarantee. An investment in your Portfoliois not a deposit of any bank and is not insured orguaranteed by the Federal Deposit InsuranceCorporation or any other government agency.

PUBLIC OFFERING

General. Units are offered at the Public OfferingPrice which consists of the net asset value per Unit plusorganization costs plus the sales charge. The net assetvalue per Unit is the value of the securities, cash andother assets in your Portfolio reduced by the liabilities ofthe Portfolio divided by the total Units outstanding. Themaximum sales charge equals 2.95% of the PublicOffering Price per Unit (3.04% of the aggregate offeringprice of the Securities) at the time of purchase.

You pay the initial sales charge at the time you buyUnits. The initial sales charge is the difference between thetotal sales charge percentage (maximum of 2.95% of thePublic Offering Price per Unit) and the sum of theremaining fixed dollar deferred sales charge and the total

fixed dollar creation and development fee. The initial salescharge will be approximately 1.00% of the Public OfferingPrice per Unit depending on the Public Offering Price perUnit. The deferred sales charge is fixed at $0.145 per Unit.Your Portfolio pays the deferred sales charge ininstallments as described in the “Fee Table.” If anydeferred sales charge payment date is not a business day,we will charge the payment on the next business day. Ifyou purchase Units after the initial deferred sales chargepayment, you will only pay that portion of the paymentsnot yet collected. If you redeem or sell your Units prior tocollection of the total deferred sales charge, you will payany remaining deferred sales charge upon redemption orsale of your Units. The initial and deferred sales chargesare referred to as the “transactional sales charge.” Thetransactional sales charge does not include the creationand development fee which compensates the Sponsor forcreating and developing your Portfolio and is describedunder “Expenses.” The creation and development fee isfixed at $0.05 per Unit. Your Portfolio pays the creationand development fee as of the close of the initial offeringperiod as described in the “Fee Table.” If you redeem orsell your Units prior to collection of the creation anddevelopment fee, you will not pay the creation anddevelopment fee upon redemption or sale of your Units.Because the deferred sales charge and creation anddevelopment fee are fixed dollar amounts per Unit, theactual charges will exceed the percentages shown in the“Fee Table” if the Public Offering Price per Unit falls below$10 and will be less than the percentages shown in the“Fee Table” if the Public Offering Price per Unit exceeds$10. In no event will the maximum total sales chargeexceed 2.95% of the Public Offering Price per Unit.

Since the deferred sales charge and creation anddevelopment fee are fixed dollar amounts per Unit,your Portfolio must charge these amounts per Unitregardless of any decrease in net asset value.However, if the Public Offering Price per Unit falls tothe extent that the maximum sales charge percentageresults in a dol lar amount that is less than thecombined fixed dollar amounts of the deferred salescharge and creation and development fee, your initialsales charge will be a credit equal to the amount bywhich these fixed dollar charges exceed your sales

charge at the time you buy Units. In such a situation,the value of securities per Unit would exceed thePublic Offering Price per Unit by the amount of theinitial sales charge credit and the value of thosesecurities will fluctuate, which could result in a benefitor detriment to Unitholders that purchase Units at thatprice. The initial sales charge credit is paid by theSponsor and is not paid by the Portfolio. The “FeeTable” shows the sales charge calculation at a $10Public Offering Price per Unit and the fol lowingexamples illustrate the sales charge at prices belowand above $10. If the Public Offering Price per Unit fellto $6, the maximum sales charge would be $0.1770(2.95% of the Public Offering Price per Unit), whichconsists of an initial sales charge of -$0.0180, adeferred sales charge of $0.145 and a creation anddevelopment fee of $0.05. If the Public Offering Priceper Unit rose to $14, the maximum sales chargewould be $0.4130 (2.95% of the Public Offering Priceper Unit), consisting of an initial sales charge of$0.2180, a deferred sales charge of $0.145 and thecreation and development fee of $0.05.

The actual sales charge that may be paid by aninvestor may differ slightly from the sales chargesshown herein due to rounding that occurs in thecalculation of the Public Offering Price and in thenumber of Units purchased.

The minimum purchase is 100 Units (25 Units forretirement accounts) but may vary by selling firm.Certain broker-dealers or selling firms may charge anorder handling fee for processing Unit purchases.

Reducing Your Sales Charge. The Sponsoroffers a variety of ways for you to reduce the salescharge that you pay. It is your financial professional’sresponsibility to alert the Sponsor of any discountwhen you purchase Units. Before you purchase Unitsyou must also inform your financial professional ofyour qualification for any discount or of any combinedpurchases to be eligible for a reduced sales charge.As further described in this section, purchasesexecuted on the same day by a single person at thesame broker-dealer may be combined for salescharge discount calculation purposes. Secondarymarket purchases are excluded for purposes of sales

charge discount calculations. Since the deferred salescharges and creation and development fee are fixeddollar amounts per Unit, your Portfolio must chargethese amounts per Unit regardless of any discounts.However, if you are eligible to receive a discount suchthat your total sales charge is less than the fixeddollar amounts of the deferred sales charges andcreation and development fee, you will receive acredit equal to the difference between your total salescharge and these fixed dollar charges at the time youbuy Units.

Large Quantity Purchases. You can reduce yoursales charge by increasing the size of your investment.Based upon the aggregate dollar amount of Unitspurchased by a Unitholder in the initial offering period,the following table shows both the corresponding salescharge and the concession or agency commissionallowed to broker-dealers and other selling agents onsuch transaction.

Except as described below, these quantity discountlevels apply only to purchases of a single Portfolio madeby the same person on a single day from a singlebroker-dealer. We apply these sales charges as apercent of the Public Offering Price per Unit at the timeof purchase. The breakpoints will be adjusted to takeinto consideration purchase orders stated in dollarswhich cannot be completely fulf i l led due to therequirement that only whole Units will be issued.Additional information regarding the broker-dealerconcession or agency commission is presented in the“Unit Distribution” section.

For purposes of achieving these levels, you maycombine certain purchases made on the same day

through a single broker-dealer or selling agent, asfurther described below. You must inform your broker-dealer of any combined purchases before yourpurchase to be eligible for a reduced sales charge. Forpurposes of achieving the quantity discount levels in theabove table, Units of the Portfolio may be combinedwith (i) purchases of units of any other Invesco-sponsored unit investment trusts during each trust’sinitial offering period, (ii) purchases of units made asdescribed under the “Fee Accounts” paragraph in thissection, and (iii) purchases of units eligible for the salescharge discounts described under the “Rollovers andExchanges” paragraph in this section. In addition, Unitspurchased in the name of your spouse (or theequivalent if recognized under local law) or children(including step-children) under 21 living in the samehousehold as you will be deemed to be additionalpurchases by you for the purposes of calculating theapplicable quantity discount level. The reduced salescharge levels will also be applicable to a trustee or otherfiduciary purchasing Units for a single trust, estate(including multiple trusts created under a single estate)or fiduciary account.

Fee Accounts. Investors may purchase Units throughregistered investment advisers, certified financialplanners and registered broker-dealers who in eachcase either charge periodic fees for brokerage services,f inancial planning, investment advisory or assetmanagement services, or provide such services inconnection with the establishment of an investmentaccount for which a comprehensive “wrap fee” charge(“Wrap Fee”) is imposed (“Fee Accounts”). If Units of thePortfolio are purchased for a Fee Account and thePortfolio is subject to a Wrap Fee (i.e., the Portfolio is“Wrap Fee Eligible”), then the purchase will not besubject to the transactional sales charge but will besubject to the creation and development fee of $0.05per Unit that is retained by the Sponsor. Please refer tothe section called “Fee Accounts” for additionalinformation on these purchases. The Sponsor reservesthe right to limit or deny purchases of Units described inthis paragraph by investors or selling firms whosefrequent trading activity is determined to be detrimentalto the Portfolio. As described above in “Large Quantity

Purchases”, Units purchased for a Fee Account may becombined with certain other purchases for purposes ofachieving the quantity discount levels presented in thetable above under “Large Quantity Purchases”,however, such Wrap Fee Eligible Units are not eligiblefor any sales charge discounts in addition to that whichis described in this paragraph and under the “FeeAccounts” section found below.

Rollovers and Exchanges. During the initial offeringperiod of the Portfolio, unitholders of any Invesco-sponsored unit investment trust and unitholders ofunaffiliated unit investment trusts may utilize theirredemption or termination proceeds from such trusts topurchase Units of the Portfolio, or units of any otherInvesco-sponsored unit investment trust in its initialoffering period, at a reduced sales charge. For suchaggregated purchases of less than $1,000,000, Unitsmay be purchased at the Public Offering Price per Unitless 1.00%. For such aggregated purchases of$1,000,000 or more, either made solely withredemption or termination proceeds from other unitinvestment trusts or in combination with otherpurchases as described above under “Large QuantityPurchases”, Units will be eligible for the applicablequantity discount level presented in the table thatappears in that subsection. For aggregated purchasesdescribed above in the “Large Quantity Purchases”subsection that consist of any units other than Units ofthe Portfolio, please refer to the prospectus of theapplicable Invesco-sponsored unit investment trust forinformation regarding the specified sales chargereductions on those units. In order to be eligible for thesales charge discounts applicable to Unit purchasesmade with redemption or termination proceeds fromother unit investment trusts, the trade date of eachrollover or redemption, or each other trust’s terminationdate resulting in the receipt of such proceeds used topurchase Units of the Portfolio must all be derived fromtransactions that occurred within 30 calendar days priorto your Unit purchase. In addition, the discounts willonly be available for investors that utilize the samebroker-dealer (or a different broker-dealer withappropriate notification) for both the Unit purchase andthe transaction resulting in the receipt of the termination

or redemption proceeds used for the Unit purchase.You may be required to provide appropriatedocumentation or other information to your broker-dealer to evidence your eligibility for these reducedsales charge discounts. An exchange does not avoid ataxable event on the redemption or termination of aninterest in a trust.

Employees. Employees, officers and directors(including their spouses (or the equivalent if recognizedunder local law) and children or step-children under 21living in the same household, parents or step-parentsand trustees, custodians or fiduciaries for the benefit ofsuch persons) of Invesco Capital Markets, Inc. and itsaffiliates, and dealers and their affiliates may purchaseUnits at the Public Offering Price less the applicabledealer concession. All employee discounts are subjectto the pol icies of the related sel l ing f irm. Onlyemployees, officers and directors of companies thatallow their employees to participate in this employeediscount program are eligible for the discounts.

Distribution Reinvestments. We do not charge anysales charge when you reinvest distributions from yourPortfolio into additional Units of your Portfolio. Since thedeferred sales charges and creation and development feeare fixed dollar amounts per unit, your Portfolio mustcharge these amounts per unit regardless of this discount.If you elect to reinvest distributions, the Sponsor will credityou with additional Units with a dollar value sufficient tocover the amount of any remaining deferred sales chargeand creation and development fee that will be collectedon such Units at the time of reinvestment. The dollar valueof these Units will fluctuate over time.

Unit Price. The Public Offering Price of Units willvary from the amounts stated under “EssentialInformation” in accordance with fluctuations in theprices of the underlying Securities in the Portfolio. Theinitial price of the Securities upon deposit by theSponsor was determined by the Trustee. The Trusteewill generally determine the value of the Securities asof the Evaluation Time on each business day and willadjust the Public Offering Price of Units accordingly.The Evaluation Time is the close of the New YorkStock Exchange on each business day. The term“business day”, as used herein and under “Rights of

Unitholders--Redemption of Units”, means any day onwhich the New York Stock Exchange is open forregular trading. The Public Offering Price per Unit willbe effect ive for al l orders received pr ior to theEvaluat ion T ime on each business day. Ordersreceived by the Sponsor prior to the Evaluation Timeand orders received by author ized f inancia lprofessionals prior to the Evaluation Time that areproperly transmitted to the Sponsor by the timedesignated by the Sponsor, are priced based on thedate of receipt. Orders received by the Sponsor afterthe Evaluat ion T ime, and orders received byauthorized financial professionals after the EvaluationTime or orders received by such persons that are nottransmitted to the Sponsor unt i l after the t imedesignated by the Sponsor, are priced based on thedate of the next determined Public Offering Price perUnit provided they are received timely by the Sponsoron such date. It is the responsibility of authorizedfinancial professionals to transmit orders received bythem to the Sponsor so they will be received in atimely manner.

The value of portfolio securities is based on thesecurities’ market price when available. When amarket pr ice is not readi ly avai lable, includingcircumstances under which the Trustee determinesthat a security’s market price is not accurate, aport fo l io secur i ty is valued at i ts fa i r value, asdetermined under procedures established by theTrustee or an independent pricing service used by theTrustee. In these cases, the Portfolio’s net asset valuewill reflect certain portfolio securities’ fair value ratherthan their market price.

Units are available for purchase in connection withcertain types of tax-sheltered retirement plans, includingIndividual Retirement Accounts for individuals, SimplifiedEmployee Pension Plans for employees, qualified plansfor self-employed individuals, and qualified corporatepension and profit sharing plans for employees. Theminimum purchase for these accounts is reduced to 25Units but may vary by selling firm. The purchase ofUnits may be limited by the plans’ provisions and doesnot itself establish such plans.

FEE ACCOUNTS

As described above, Units may be available forpurchase by investors in Fee Accounts where thePortfolio is Wrap Fee Eligible. You should consult yourfinancial professional to determine whether you canbenefit from these accounts.

Initial sales charge 0.00%Deferred sales charge 0.00______

Transactional sales charge 0.00%____________Creation and development fee 0.50%______

Total sales charge 0.50%____________

You should consult the “Public Offering--Reducing YourSales Charge” section for specific information on this andother sales charge discounts. That section governs thecalculation of all sales charge discounts. The Sponsorreserves the right to limit or deny purchases of Units inFee Accounts by investors or selling firms whose frequenttrading activity is determined to be detrimental to thePortfolio. To purchase Units in these Fee Accounts, yourfinancial professional must purchase Units designatedwith one of the Wrap Fee CUSIP numbers set forth under“Essential Information,” either Wrap Fee Cash for cashdistributions or Wrap Fee Reinvest for the reinvestment ofdistributions in additional Units, if available. See “Rights ofUnitholders--Reinvestment Option.”

RIGHTS OF UNITHOLDERS

Distributions. Dividends and interest, net of expenses,and any net proceeds from the sale of Securities receivedby the Portfolio will generally be distributed to Unitholderson each Distribution Date to Unitholders of record on thepreceding Record Date. These dates appear under“Essential Information”. In addition, the Portfolio willgenerally make required distributions at the end of eachyear because it is structured as a “regulated investmentcompany” for federal tax purposes. Unitholders will alsoreceive a final distribution of income when the Portfolioterminates. A person becomes a Unitholder of record onthe date of settlement (generally three business days afterUnits are ordered). Unitholders may elect to receivedistributions in cash or to have distributions reinvestedinto additional Units. See “Rights of Unitholders--Reinvestment Option”.

Dividends and interest received by the Portfolio arecredited to the Income Account of the Portfolio. Otherreceipts (e.g., capital gains, proceeds from the sale ofSecurities, etc.) are credited to the Capital Account.Proceeds received on the sale of any Securities, to theextent not used to meet redemptions of Units or paydeferred sales charges, fees or expenses, will bedistributed to Unitholders. Proceeds received from thedisposition of any Securities after a Record Date andprior to the following Distribution Date will be held in theCapital Account and not distributed until the nextDistribution Date. Any distribution to Unitholdersconsists of each Unitholder’s pro rata share of theavailable cash in the Income and Capital Accounts as ofthe related Record Date.

Estimated Distributions. The estimated initialdistribution and estimated net annual income per Unitmay be shown under “Essent ia l Informat ion.”Generally, the estimate of the income the Portfolio mayreceive is based on the most recent ordinary quarterlydividends declared by an issuer, the most recentinterim and final dividends declared for certain foreignissuers, or scheduled income payments (in all casesaccounting for any applicable foreign withholdingtaxes). In certain cases, estimated net annual incomemay also be based upon several recently declared

Page 24: BofA Merrill Lynch Global Water Picks Portfolio, Series 1 · 2015. 4. 20. · BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research without regard to the Portfolio or its Unitholders. Securities may

dividends of an issuer. However, common stocks donot assure dividend payments and therefore theamount of future dividend income to your Portfolio isuncertain. The actual net annual distributions maydecrease over time because a portion of the Securitiesincluded in the Portfolio will be sold to pay for theorganization costs, deferred sales charge and creationand development fee. Securities may also be sold topay regular fees and expenses during the Portfolio’slife. Dividend and income conventions for certaincompanies and/or certain countries differ from thosetypically used in the United States and in certaininstances, dividends/income paid or declared overseveral years or other per iods may be used toestimate annual distributions. The actual net annualincome distributions you receive will vary from theestimated amount due to changes in the Portfolio’sfees and expenses, in actual income received by thePortfolio, currency fluctuations and with changes inthe Portfolio such as the acquisition, call, maturity orsale of Securities. Due to these and various otherfactors, actual income received by the Portfolio willmost likely differ from the most recent dividends orscheduled income payments.

Reinvestment Option. Unitholders may havedistributions automatically reinvested in additional Unitswithout a sales charge (to the extent Units may belawfully offered for sale in the state in which theUnitholder resides). The CUSIP numbers for either“Cash” distributions or “Reinvest” for the reinvestmentof distr ibut ions are set forth under “EssentialInformation”. Brokers and dealers can use the DividendReinvestment Service through Depository TrustCompany (“DTC”) or purchase a Reinvest (or Wrap FeeReinvest in the case of Wrap Fee Eligible Units held inFee Accounts) CUSIP, if available. To participate in thisreinvestment option, a Unitholder must file with theTrustee a written notice of election, together with anyother documentation that the Trustee may then require,at least five days prior to the related Record Date. AUnitholder’s election will apply to all Units owned by theUnitholder and will remain in effect until changed by theUnitholder. The reinvestment option is not offeredduring the 30 calendar days prior to termination. If

Units are unavai lable for reinvestment or thisreinvestment option is no longer available, distributionswill be paid in cash. Distributions will be taxable toUnitholders if paid in cash or automatically reinvested inadditional Units. See “Taxation”.

A participant may elect to terminate his or herreinvestment plan and receive future distributions incash by notifying the Trustee in writing no later thanfive days before a Distribution Date. The Sponsor shallhave the r ight to suspend or terminate thereinvestment plan at any time. The reinvestment planis subject to availability or limitation by each broker-dealer or selling firm. Broker-dealers may suspend orterminate the offering of a reinvestment plan at anytime. Please contact your financial professional foradditional information.

Redemption of Units. All or a portion of your Unitsmay be tendered to The Bank of New York Mellon, theTrustee, for redemption at Unit Investment TrustDivision, 111 Sanders Creek Parkway, East Syracuse,New York 13057, on any day the New York StockExchange is open. No redemption fee will be chargedby the Sponsor or the Trustee, but you are responsiblefor applicable governmental charges, if any. Unitsredeemed by the Trustee will be canceled. You mayredeem all or a portion of your Units by sending arequest for redemption to your bank or broker-dealerthrough which you hold your Units. No later than threebusiness days fol lowing satisfactory tender, theUnitholder will be entitled to receive in cash an amountfor each Unit equal to the Redemption Price per Unitnext computed on the date of tender. The “date oftender” is deemed to be the date on which Units arereceived by the Trustee, except that with respect toUnits received by the Trustee after the Evaluation Timeor on a day which is not a business day, the date oftender is deemed to be the next business day.Redemption requests received by the Trustee after theEvaluation Time, and redemption requests received byauthorized financial professionals after the EvaluationTime or redemption requests received by such personsthat are not transmitted to the Trustee until after thetime designated by the Trustee, are priced based on thedate of the next determined redemption price provided

they are received timely by the Trustee on such date. Itis the responsibility of authorized financial professionalsto transmit redemption requests received by them tothe Trustee so they will be received in a timely manner.Certain broker-dealers or selling firms may charge anorder handling fee for processing redemption requests.Units redeemed directly through the Trustee are notsubject to such fees.

The Trustee may sell Securities to satisfy Unitredemptions. To the extent that Securities are sold,the size of the Portfolio will be, and the diversity of thePortfolio may be, reduced. Sales may be required at atime when Securities would not otherwise be sold andmay result in lower prices than might otherwise berealized. The price received upon redemption may bemore or less than the amount paid by the Unitholderdepending on the value of the Securities at the timeof redemption.

The Redemption Price per Unit and the secondarymarket repurchase price per Unit are equal to the pro ratashare of each Unit in the Portfolio determined on the basisof (i) the cash on hand in the Portfolio, (ii) the value of theSecurities in the Portfolio and (iii) dividends or otherincome distributions receivable on the Securities in thePortfolio trading ex-dividend as of the date ofcomputation, less (a) amounts representing taxes or othergovernmental charges payable out of the Portfolio, (b) theaccrued expenses of the Portfolio (including costsassociated with liquidating securities after the end of theinitial offering period) and (c) any unpaid deferred salescharge payments. During the initial offering period, theredemption price and the secondary market repurchaseprice are not reduced by the estimated organization costsor the creation and development fee. For these purposes,the Trustee will determine the value of the Securities asdescribed under “Public Offering--Unit Price”.

The right of redemption may be suspended andpayment postponed for any period during which the NewYork Stock Exchange is closed, other than for customaryweekend and holiday closings, or any period during whichthe SEC determines that trading on that Exchange isrestricted or an emergency exists, as a result of whichdisposal or evaluation of the Securities is not reasonablypracticable, or for other periods as the SEC may permit.

Exchange Option. When you redeem Units of yourPortfolio or when your Portfolio terminates, you may beable to exchange your Units for units of other Invescounit trusts at a reduced sales charge. You shouldcontact your financial professional for more informationabout trusts currently available for exchanges. Beforeyou exchange Units, you should read the prospectus ofthe new trust carefully and understand the risks andfees. You should then discuss this option with yourfinancial professional to determine whether yourinvestment goals have changed, whether current trustssuit you and to discuss tax consequences. Anexchange is a taxable event to you. We maydiscontinue this option at any time.

Rollover. We may offer a subsequent series of thePortfolio, for a Rollover when the Portfolio terminates.

On the Mandatory Termination Date you will have theoption to (1) participate in a Rollover and have yourUnits reinvested into a subsequent trust series or (2) receive a cash distribution.

If you elect to participate in a cash Rollover, yourUnits will be redeemed on the Mandatory TerminationDate. As the redemption proceeds become available,the proceeds (including dividends) will be invested in anew trust series at the public offering price for the newtrust. The Trustee will attempt to sell Securities to satisfythe redemption as quickly as practicable on theMandatory Termination Date. We do not anticipate thatthe sale period will be longer than one day, however,certain factors could affect the ability to sell theSecurities and could impact the length of the saleperiod. The liquidity of any Security depends on thedaily trading volume of the Security and the amountavailable for redemption and reinvestment on any day.

We may make subsequent trust series available forsale at various times during the year. Of course, wecannot guarantee that a subsequent trust or sufficientunits will be available or that any subsequent trusts willoffer the same investment strategy or objective as thecurrent Portfolio. We cannot guarantee that a Rollover willavoid any negative market price consequences resultingfrom trading large volumes of securities. Market pricetrends may make it advantageous to sell or buy securities

more quickly or more slowly than permitted by thePortfolio procedures. We may, in our sole discretion,modify a Rollover or stop creating units of a trust at anytime regardless of whether all proceeds of Unitholdershave been reinvested in a Rollover. If we decide not tooffer a subsequent series, Unitholders will be notifiedprior to the Mandatory Termination Date. Cash which hasnot been reinvested in a Rollover will be distributed toUnitholders shortly after the Mandatory Termination Date.Rollover participants may receive taxable dividends orrealize taxable capital gains which are reinvested inconnection with a Rollover but may not be entitled to adeduction for capital losses due to the “wash sale” taxrules. Due to the reinvestment in a subsequent trust, nocash will be distributed to pay any taxes. See “Taxation”.

Units. Ownership of Units is evidenced in book-entryform only and will not be evidenced by certificates. Unitspurchased or held through your bank or broker-dealer willbe recorded in book-entry form and credited to theaccount of your bank or broker-dealer at DTC. Units aretransferable by contacting your bank or broker-dealerthrough which you hold your Units. Transfer, and therequirements therefore, wil l be governed by theapplicable procedures of DTC and your agreement withthe DTC participant in whose name your Units areregistered on the transfer records of DTC.

Reports Provided. Unitholders will receive astatement of dividends and other amounts received bythe Portfolio for each distribution. Within a reasonabletime after the end of each year, each person who was aUnitholder during that year will receive a statementdescribing dividends and capital received, actualPortfolio distributions, Portfolio expenses, a list of theSecurities and other Portfolio information. Unitholdersmay obtain evaluations of the Securities upon requestto the Trustee. If you have questions regarding youraccount or your Portfolio, please contact your financialadvisor or the Trustee. The Sponsor does not haveaccess to individual account information.

PORTFOLIO ADMINISTRATION

Portfolio Administration. The Portfolio is not amanaged fund and, except as provided in the TrustAgreement, Securities generally will not be sold or

replaced. The Sponsor may, however, direct thatSecurities be sold in certain limited circumstances toprotect the Portfol io based on advice from theSupervisor. These situations may include events suchas the issuer having defaulted on payment of any of itsoutstanding obligations or the price of a Security hasdeclined to such an extent or other credit factors existso that in the opinion of the Supervisor retention of theSecurity would be detrimental to the Portfolio. If a publictender offer has been made for a Security or a mergeror acquisition has been announced affecting a Security,the Trustee may either sell the Security or accept anoffer if the Supervisor determines that the sale orexchange is in the best interest of Unitholders. TheTrustee will distribute any cash proceeds to Unitholders.In addition, the Trustee may sell Securities to redeemUnits or pay Portfolio expenses or deferred salescharges. If securities or property are acquired by thePortfolio, the Sponsor may direct the Trustee to sell thesecurities or property and distribute the proceeds toUnitholders or to accept the securities or property fordeposit in the Portfolio. Should any contract for thepurchase of any of the Securities fail, the Sponsor will(unless substantially all of the moneys held in thePortfolio to cover the purchase are reinvested insubstitute Securities in accordance with the TrustAgreement) refund the cash and sales chargeattributable to the failed contract to all Unitholders on orbefore the next Distribution Date.

The Sponsor may direct the reinvestment ofproceeds of the sale of Securities if the sale is the directresult of serious adverse credit factors which, in theopinion of the Sponsor, would make retention of theSecurities detrimental to the Portfolio. In such a case,the Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, direct thereinvestment of sale proceeds in any other securitiesthat meet the criteria for inclusion in the Portfolio on theInitial Date of Deposit. The Sponsor may also instructthe Trustee to take action necessary to ensure that thePortfolio continues to satisfy the qualifications of aregulated investment company and to avoid impositionof tax on undistributed income of the Portfolio.

When your Portfolio sells Securities, the compositionand diversity of the Securities in the Portfolio may be

altered. In order to obtain the best price for the Portfolio,it may be necessary for the Supervisor to specifyminimum amounts (generally 100 shares) in whichblocks of Securit ies are to be sold. In effectingpurchases and sales of portfolio securities, the Sponsormay direct that orders be placed with and brokeragecommissions be paid to brokers, including brokerswhich may be affiliated with the Portfolio, the Sponsoror dealers participating in the offering of Units.

Pursuant to an exemptive order, your Portfolio maybe permitted to sell Securities to a new trust when itterminates if those Securities are included in the newtrust. The exemption may enable your Portfolio toeliminate commission costs on these transactions. Theprice for those securities will be the closing sale price onthe sale date on the exchange where the Securities areprincipally traded, as certified by the Sponsor.

Amendment of the Trust Agreement. The Trusteeand the Sponsor may amend the Trust Agreement withoutthe consent of Unitholders to correct any provision whichmay be defective or to make other provisions that will notmaterially adversely affect Unitholders (as determined ingood faith by the Sponsor and the Trustee). The TrustAgreement may not be amended to increase the numberof Units or permit acquisition of securities in addition to orsubstitution for the Securities (except as provided in theTrust Agreement). The Trustee will notify Unitholders of anyamendment.

Termination. The Portfolio will terminate on theMandatory Termination Date specified under “EssentialInformation” or upon the sale or other disposition of thelast Security held in the Portfolio. The Portfolio may beterminated at any time with consent of Unitholdersrepresenting two-thirds of the outstanding Units or by theTrustee when the value of the Portfolio is less than$500,000 ($3,000,000 if the value of the Portfolio hasexceeded $15,000,000) (the “Minimum TerminationValue”). The Portfolio will be liquidated by the Trustee inthe event that a sufficient number of Units of the Portfolionot yet sold are tendered for redemption by the Sponsor,so that the net worth of the Portfolio would be reduced toless than 40% of the value of the Securities at the timethey were deposited in the Portfolio. If the Portfolio isliquidated because of the redemption of unsold Units by

the Sponsor, the Sponsor will refund to each purchaser ofUnits the entire sales charge paid by such purchaser. TheTrustee may begin to sell Securities in connection with thePortfolio termination nine business days before, and nolater than, the Mandatory Termination Date. Unitholderswill receive a final cash distribution within a reasonabletime after the Mandatory Termination Date. Al ldistributions will be net of the Portfolio’s expenses andcosts.

But there is no assurance that thedistributions made by your Portfolio will eliminate alltaxes for every year at the level of your Portfolio.

Distributions. Portfolio distributions are generallytaxable to you. After the end of each year, you will receivea tax statement reporting your Portfolio’s distributions,

Page 29: BofA Merrill Lynch Global Water Picks Portfolio, Series 1 · 2015. 4. 20. · BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research without regard to the Portfolio or its Unitholders. Securities may

A-20

including the amounts of ordinary income distributionsand capital gains dividends. Ordinary income distributionsare generally taxed at your tax rate for ordinary income,however, as further discussed below, certain ordinaryincome distributions received from your Portfolio may betaxed, under current law, at the capital gains tax rates.Certain ordinary income dividends on Units that areattributable to qualifying dividends received by yourPortfolio from certain corporations may be reported by thePortfolio as being eligible for the dividends receiveddeduction for corporate Unitholders provided certainholding period requirements are met. Income from thePortfolio may also be subject to a 3.8% Medicare taximposed generally on net investment income if youradjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholdamounts, which are $250,000 in the case of marriedcouples filing joint returns and $200,000 in the case ofsingle individuals. In addition, your Portfolio may makedistributions that represent a return of capital for taxpurposes to the extent of the Unitholder’s basis in theUnits, and any additional amounts in excess of basiswould be taxed as a capital gain. Generally, you will treatall capital gains dividends as long-term capital gainsregardless of how long you have owned your Units. Thetax status of your distributions from your Portfolio is notaffected by whether you reinvest your distributions inadditional Units or receive them in cash. The income fromyour Portfolio that you must take into account for federalincome tax purposes is not reduced by amounts used topay a deferred sales charge, if any. The tax laws mayrequire you to treat certain distributions made to you inJanuary as if you had received them on December 31 ofthe previous year.

A distribution paid by your Portfolio reduces thePortfolio’s net asset value per Unit on the date paid bythe amount of the distr ibut ion. Accordingly, adistribution paid shortly after a purchase of Units by aUnitholder would represent, in substance, a partialreturn of capital, however, it would be subject toincome taxes.

Sale or Redemption of Units. If you sell or redeemyour Units, you will generally recognize a taxable gain orloss. To determine the amount of this gain or loss, youmust subtract your adjusted tax basis in your Units from

the amount you receive in the transaction. Your initial taxbasis in your Units is generally equal to the cost of yourUnits, generally including sales charges. In some cases,however, you may have to adjust your tax basis after youpurchase your Units.

Capital Gains and Losses and CertainOrdinary Income Dividends. If you are an individual,the maximum marginal federal tax rate for net capitalgain under current law is generally 28%. Taxpayerswhose marginal ordinary income bracket is below 25%are generally not subject to tax on their net capital gains.

Net capital gain equals net long-term capital gain minusnet short-term capital loss for the taxable year. Capitalgain or loss is long-term if the holding period for the assetis more than one year and is short-term if the holdingperiod for the asset is one year or less. You must excludethe date you purchase your Units to determine yourholding period. However, if you receive a capital gaindividend from your Portfolio and sell your Units at a lossafter holding it for six months or less, the loss will berecharacterized as long-term capital loss to the extent ofthe capital gain dividend received. The tax rates for capitalgains realized from assets held for one year or less aregenerally the same as for ordinary income. The InternalRevenue Code of 1986, as amended, treats certaincapital gains as ordinary income in special situations.

In certain circumstances, ordinary income dividendsreceived by an individual Unitholder from a regulatedinvestment company such as the Portfolio may be taxedat the same rates that apply to net capital gain (asdiscussed above), provided certain holding periodrequirements are satisfied and provided the dividendsare attributable to qualified dividend income received bythe Portfolio itself. The Portfolio will provide notice to itsUnitholders of the amount of any distribution which maybe taken into account as qualified dividend incomewhich is eligible for the capital gains tax rates.

Rollovers and Exchanges. If you elect to haveyour proceeds from your Portfolio rolled over into afuture trust, it is considered a sale for federal income taxpurposes and any gain on the sale will be treated as acapital gain, and, in general, any loss will be treated as acapital loss. However, any loss realized on a sale or

exchange will be disallowed to the extent that Unitsdisposed of are replaced ( including throughreinvestment of dividends) within a period of 61 daysbeginning 30 days before and ending 30 days afterdisposition of Units or to the extent that the Unitholder,during such period, acquires or enters into an option orcontract to acquire, substantially identical stock orsecurities. In such a case, the basis of the Unitsacquired will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss.

Deductibility of Portfolio Expenses. Expensesincurred and deducted by your Portfolio will generally notbe treated as income taxable to you. In some cases,however, you may be required to treat your portion ofthese Portfolio expenses as income. In these cases youmay be able to take a deduction for these expenses.However, certain miscellaneous itemized deductions,such as investment expenses, may be deducted byindividuals only to the extent that all of these deductionsexceed 2% of the individual’s adjusted gross income.Such deductions may be subject to limitation fortaxpayers whose income exceeds certain levels.

Foreign Investors. If you are a foreign investor (i.e.,an investor other than a U.S. citizen or resident or aU.S. corporation, partnership, estate or trust), generally,subject to applicable tax treaties, distributions to youfrom the Portfolio will be characterized as dividends forfederal income tax purposes (other than dividendswhich the Portfolio reports as capital gain dividends)and will be subject to U.S. income taxes, includingwithholding taxes, subject to certain exceptionsdescribed below. You may be eligible under certainincome tax treaties for a reduction in withholding rates.However distributions received by a foreign investorfrom the Portfolio that are properly reported by the trustas capital gain dividends may not be subject to U.S.federal income taxes, including withholding taxes,provided that the Portfolio makes certain elections andcertain other conditions are met.

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act(“FATCA”). A 30% withholding tax on your Portfolio’sdistributions, including capital gains distributions, and ongross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Unitsgenerally applies if paid to a foreign entity unless: (i) if theforeign entity is a “foreign financial institution” as defined

under FATCA, the foreign entity undertakes certain duediligence, reporting, withholding, and certificationobligations, (ii) if the foreign entity is not a “foreign financialinstitution,” it identifies certain of its U.S. investors or (iii)the foreign entity is otherwise excepted under FATCA.Withholding under FATCA is required: (i) with respect tocertain distributions from your Portfolio beginning on July1, 2014; and (ii) with respect to certain capital gainsdistributions and gross proceeds from a sale ordisposition of Units that occur on or after January 1,2017. If withholding is required under FATCA on apayment related to your Units, investors that otherwisewould not be subject to withholding (or that otherwisewould be entitled to a reduced rate of withholding) onsuch payment generally will be required to seek a refundor credit from the IRS to obtain the benefit of suchexemption or reduction. Your Portfolio will not pay anyadditional amounts in respect of amounts withheld underFATCA. You should consult your tax advisor regarding theeffect of FATCA based on your individual circumstances.

Foreign Tax Credit. If the Portfolio invests in anyforeign securities, the tax statement that you receive mayinclude an item showing foreign taxes the Portfolio paidto other countries. In this case, dividends taxed to youwill include your share of the taxes the Portfolio paid toother countries. You may be able to deduct or receive atax credit for your share of these taxes if the Portfoliomeets certain requirements for passing through suchdeductions or credits to you.

Backup Withholding. By law, your Portfolio mustwithhold as backup withholding a percentage (currently28%) of your taxable distributions and redemptionproceeds if you do not provide your correct socialsecurity or taxpayer identification number and certifythat you are not subject to backup withholding, or if theIRS instructs your Portfolio to do so.

Investors should consult their advisors concerningthe federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences ofinvesting in the Portfolio.

RISK FACTORSPrice Volatility. Because the Portfolio invests in

stocks of foreign companies, you should understandthe risks of investing in stocks before purchasing Units.These risks include the risk that the financial conditionof the company or the general condition of the stockmarket may worsen and the value of the stocks (andtherefore Units) wi l l fal l . Stocks are especial lysusceptible to general stock market movements. Thevalue of stocks often r ises or fal ls rapidly andunpredictably as market confidence and perceptions ofcompanies change. These perceptions are based onfactors including expectations regarding governmenteconomic policies, inflation, interest rates, economicexpansion or contraction, polit ical cl imates andeconomic or banking crises. The value of Units willfluctuate with the value of the stocks in the Portfolio andmay be more or less than the price you originally paidfor your Units. As with any investment, we cannotguarantee that the performance of the Portfolio will bepositive over any period of time. Because the Portfoliois unmanaged, the Trustee will not sell stocks inresponse to market fluctuations as is common inmanaged investments.

Dividends. Stocks represent ownership interests ina company and are not obligations of the company.Common stockholders have a right to receive paymentsfrom the company that is subordinate to the rights ofcreditors, bondholders or preferred stockholders of thecompany. This means that common stockholders havea right to receive dividends only if a company’s board ofdirectors declares a dividend and the company hasprovided for payment of all of its creditors, bondholdersand preferred stockholders. If a company issuesadditional debt securities or preferred stock, the ownersof these securit ies wil l have a claim against thecompany’s assets before common stockholders if thecompany declares bankruptcy or liquidates its assetseven though the common stock was issued first. As aresult, the company may be less willing or able todeclare or pay dividends on its common stock.

Foreign Stocks. Because your Portfolio invests inforeign stocks, the Portfolio involves additional risks thatdiffer from an investment in domestic stocks.

Investments in foreign securities may involve a greaterdegree of risk than those in domestic securities. Thereis generally less publicly available information aboutforeign companies in the form of reports and ratingssimilar to those that are published about issuers in theUnited States. Also, foreign issuers are generally notsubject to uniform accounting, auditing and financialreporting requirements comparable to those applicableto United States issuers. With respect to certain foreigncountries, there is the possibility of adverse changes ininvestment or exchange control regulat ions,expropriation, nationalization or confiscatory taxation,limitations on the removal of funds or other assets ofthe Portfolio, political or social instability, or diplomaticdevelopments which could affect United Statesinvestments in those countries. Moreover, industrialforeign economies may differ favorably or unfavorablyfrom the United States’ economy in terms of growth ofgross national product, rate of inf lat ion, capitalreinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance ofpayments position. Foreign securities markets aregenerally not as developed or efficient as those in theUnited States. While growing in volume, they usuallyhave substantially less volume than the New York StockExchange, and securities of some foreign issuers areless l iquid and more volat i le than securit ies ofcomparable United States issuers. Fixed commissionson foreign exchanges are general ly higher thannegotiated commissions on United States exchanges.There is generally less government supervision andregulation of securities exchanges, brokers and listedissuers than in the United States.

Foreign Currencies. Your Portfolio also involvesthe risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between theU.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affectthe value of the stocks. For example, if a foreign stockrose 10% in price but the U.S. dollar gained 5% againstthe related foreign currency, a U.S. investor’s returnwould be reduced to about 5%. This is because theforeign currency would “buy” fewer dol lars or,conversely, a dollar would buy more of the foreigncurrency. Many foreign currencies have fluctuatedwidely against the U.S. dollar for a variety of reasonssuch as supply and demand of the currency, investor

Page 39: BofA Merrill Lynch Global Water Picks Portfolio, Series 1 · 2015. 4. 20. · BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research without regard to the Portfolio or its Unitholders. Securities may

perceptions of world or country economies, politicalinstability, currency speculation by institutional investors,changes in government policies, buying and selling ofcurrencies by central banks of countries, trade balancesand changes in interest rates. The Portfolio’s foreigncurrency transactions will be conducted with foreignexchange dealers acting as principals on a spot (i.e.,cash) buying basis. These dealers realize a profit basedon the difference between the price at which they buythe currency (bid price) and the price at which they sellthe currency (offer price). The Trustee will estimate thecurrency exchange rates based on current activity in therelated currency exchange markets, however, due tothe volatility of the markets and other factors, theestimated rates may not be indicative of the rate thePortfolio might obtain had the Trustee sold the currencyin the market at that time.

Utility Issuers. Your Portfolio invests significantlyin utility and related companies. An investment in Unitsof your Port fo l io should be made with anunderstanding of the characteristics of the public utilityindustry and the risks which such an investment mayentail. General problems of the public utility industryinclude the difficulty in obtaining an adequate returnon invested capital despite frequent increases in rateswhich have been granted by the publ ic servicecommissions having jurisdiction, the diff iculty infinancing large construction programs during aninflationary period, the restrictions on operations andincreased cost and delays attr ibutable toenvironmental, nuclear safety and other regulatoryconsiderations, the difficulty of the capital marketsabsorbing uti l i ty debt and equity securit ies, thedifficulty in obtaining fuel for electric generation atreasonable prices, regulatory restrictions on the abilityto pass increasing wholesale costs along to the retailand business customer, and the effects of energyconservation. There is no assurance that publicservice commissions will grant rate increases in thefuture or that any such increases will be timely oradequate to cover operating and other expenses anddebt service requirements. All of the public utilitieswhich are issuers of the Secur i t ies have beenexperiencing many of these problems in varying

degrees. Furthermore, utility stocks are particularlysusceptible to interest rate risk, generally exhibiting aninverse relationship to interest rates. As a result,electric utility stock prices may be adversely affectedas interest rates rise. Similarly, the success of certaincompanies is tied to a relatively small concentration ofproducts or technologies with intense competitionbetween companies. There can be no assurance thatthese customers will place additional orders, or that anissuer of Securit ies wil l obtain orders of similarmagnitude as past orders from other customers.Accordingly, a decline in demand for products ortechnologies or from such customers could have amaterial adverse impact on issuers of the Securities.

Utilities are generally subject to extensive regulation bystate utility commissions which, for example, establishthe rates which may be charged and the appropriate rateof return on an approved asset base, which must beapproved by the state commissions. Certain utilities havehad difficulty from time to time in persuading regulators,who are subject to political pressures, to grant rateincreases necessary to maintain an adequate return oninvestment. Any unexpected limitations could negativelyaffect the profitability of utilities whose budgets areplanned far in advance. In addition, gas pipeline anddistribution companies have had difficulties in adjusting toshort and surplus energy supplies, enforcing or beingrequired to comply with long-term contracts and avoidinglitigation with their customers, on the one hand, orsuppliers, on the other. Furthermore, regulatoryauthorities, which may be subject to political and otherpressures, may not grant future rate increases, or mayimpose accounting or operational policies, any of whichcould adversely affect a company’s profitability and itsstock price. Certain utility companies have experiencedfull or partial deregulation in recent years. These utilitycompanies are frequently more similar to industrialcompanies in that they are subject to greater competitionand have been permitted by regulators to diversifyoutside of their original geographic regions and theirtraditional lines of business. These opportunities maypermit certain utility companies to earn more than theirtraditional regulated rates of return. Some companies,

Page 40: BofA Merrill Lynch Global Water Picks Portfolio, Series 1 · 2015. 4. 20. · BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research without regard to the Portfolio or its Unitholders. Securities may

however, may be forced to defend their core businessand may be less profitable.

Certain of the issuers of the Securities may own oroperate nuclear generating facilities. Governmentalauthorities may from time to time review existing, andimpose addit ional, requirements governing thelicensing, construction and operation of nuclear powerplants. Nuclear generating projects in the electric utilityindustry have experienced substantial cost increases,construction delays and licensing difficulties. Thesehave been caused by various factors, including inflation,high financing costs, required design changes andrework, allegedly faulty construction, objections bygroups and governmental officials, limits on the ability toobtain f inancing, reduced forecasts of energyrequirements and economic conditions. This experienceindicates that the risk of significant cost increases,delays and licensing difficulties remain present untilcompletion and achievement of commercial operationof any nuclear project. Also, nuclear generating units inservice have experienced unplanned outages orextensions of scheduled outages due to equipmentproblems or new regulatory requirements sometimesfollowed by a significant delay in obtaining regulatoryapproval to return to service. A major accident at anuclear plant anywhere could cause the imposition oflimits or prohibitions on the operation, construction orlicensing of nuclear units.

In view of the uncertainties discussed above, therecan be no assurance that any utility company’s share ofthe full cost of nuclear units under construction ultimatelywill be recovered in rates or the extent to which acompany could earn an adequate return on itsinvestment in such units. The likelihood of a significantlyadverse event occurring in any of the areas of concerndescribed above varies, as does the potential severity ofany adverse impact. It should be recognized, however,that one or more of such adverse events could occur andindividually or collectively could have a material adverseimpact on a company’s financial condition, the results ofits operations, its ability to make interest and principalpayments on its outstanding debt or to pay dividends.

Other general problems of the electric, gas and waterutility industries (including state and local joint action

power agencies) include r ising costs of rai ltransportation to transport fossil fuels, the uncertainty oftransmission service costs for both interstate andintrastate transactions, changes in tax laws whichadversely affect a utility’s ability to operate profitably,increased competit ion in service costs, recentreductions in estimates of future demand for electricityand gas in certain areas of the country, restrictions onoperations and increased cost and delays attributableto environmental considerations, uncertain availabilityand increased cost of capital, unavailability of fuel forelectric generation at reasonable prices, including thesteady rise in fuel costs and the costs associated withconversion to alternate fuel sources such as coal,availability and cost of natural gas for resale, technicaland cost factors and other problems associated withconstruction, licensing, regulation and operation ofnuclear facilities for electric generation, including,among other considerations, the problems associatedwith the use of radioactive materials and the disposal ofradioactive wastes, and the effects of energy andenvironmental conservation efforts. Each of theproblems referred to could adversely affect the ability ofthe issuers of any Securit ies to make dividendpayments and the value of such Securit ies onredemption of your Units.

Water Utility & Infrastructure Issuers. YourPortfolio invests signif icantly in water uti l ity andinfrastructure stocks. General problems of such issuersinclude the imposit ion of rate caps, increasedcompetition due to deregulation, the difficulty inobtaining an adequate return on invested capital or infinancing large construction programs, the limitations onoperations and increased costs and delays attributableto environmental considerations, and the capitalmarket’s ability to absorb utility debt. In addition, taxes,government regulation, international politics, price andsupply fluctuations, volatile interest rates and waterconservation may cause difficulties for water utilities. Allof such issuers have been experiencing certain of theseproblems in varying degrees.

Today, the water industry represents the third largestindustry in the world behind oil and electricity. The waterindustry is comprised of many companies that provide

4

Page 41: BofA Merrill Lynch Global Water Picks Portfolio, Series 1 · 2015. 4. 20. · BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research without regard to the Portfolio or its Unitholders. Securities may

products and services geared toward the collection,conveyance, treatment and monitoring/analysis of waterand wastewater for multiple purposes. Water is by far themost stable of all commodities due to the constantdemand and uninterrupted supply. In the developingworld, dirty water is a major health problem. In developedcountries, demand is ever-increasing while waterinfrastructure is falling apart. The fact is, clean and cheapwater is no longer something we can take for granted.

The ever-increasing population and demands fromindustrial output continue to strain the aging waterinfrastructure. This has placed pressure ongovernments to rehabilitate their water infrastructuresystems and raise the standards for quality andenforcement. Consider the following: In the UnitedStates, as much as $1 trillion is needed over the next20 years to upgrade and replace the nation’s aging anddeter iorat ing water infrastructure. There areapproximately 54,000 community water systems in theUnited States serving roughly 300 million people. Themajor i ty of the populat ion is being served bygovernment-owned water systems. The bulk of thesesystems tend to be small (serving less than 3,300customers) and typically do not have the capitalresources to meet the challenge of maintaining thesystem as well as making necessary improvements.The current environment may provide an opportunityfor privately owned utilities, which together currentlyserve only a small percentage of the population, toacquire these smaller systems for prices that provide avery high return on invested capital and allow forsignificant economies of scale.

Liquidity. Whether or not the stocks in the Portfolioare listed on a stock exchange, the stocks may delistfrom the exchange or principal ly trade in anover-the-counter market. As a result, the existence of aliquid trading market could depend on whether dealerswill make a market in the stocks. We cannot guaranteethat dealers will maintain a market or that any marketwill be liquid. The value of the stocks could fall if tradingmarkets are limited or absent.

Additional Units. The Sponsor may create additionalUnits of the Portfolio by depositing into the Portfolioadditional stocks or cash with instructions to purchase

additional stocks. A deposit could result in a dilution ofyour investment and anticipated income because offluctuations in the price of the stocks between the time ofthe deposit and the purchase of the stocks and becausethe Portfolio will pay brokerage or acquisition fees.

Voting. Only the Trustee may sell or vote the stocksin the Portfolio. While you may sell or redeem yourUnits, you may not sell or vote the stocks in yourPortfolio. The Sponsor will instruct the Trustee how tovote the stocks. The Trustee will vote the stocks in thesame general proportion as shares held by othershareholders if the Sponsor fails to provide instructions.

The federal income tax summary below and in theprospectus is based in part on the advice of counsel tothe Portfolio. The Internal Revenue Service coulddisagree with any conclusions set forth in thesediscussions. In addition, our counsel was not asked toreview, and has not reached a conclusion with respectto the federal income tax treatment of the assets to beheld by the Portfolio.

The Portfolio intends to elect and to qualify annuallyas a regulated investment company under the InternalRevenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) andto comply with applicable distribution requirements sothat it will not pay federal income tax on income andcapital gains distributed to its Unitholders.

To qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income taxtreatment generally accorded to regulated investmentcompanies, the Portfolio must, among other things, (a) derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its grossincome from dividends, interest, payments with respectto securities loans and gains from the sale or otherdisposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies orother income derived with respect to its business ofinvesting in such stock, securities or currencies, and netincome from qualified publicly traded partnerships; (b) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of eachquarter of the taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the marketvalue of the Portfolio’s assets is represented by cashand cash items (including receivables), U.S. governmentsecurities, the securities of other regulated investmentcompanies and other securities, with such othersecurities of any one issuer generally limited for thepurposes of this calculation to an amount not greaterthan 5% of the value of the Portfolio’s total assets andnot greater than 10% of the outstanding votingsecurities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% ofthe value of its total assets is invested in the securities(other than U.S. government securities or the securitiesof other regulated investment companies) of any oneissuer, or two or more issuers which the Portfoliocontrols (by owning 20% or more of the issuer’soutstanding voting securities) and which are engaged inthe same, similar or related trades or businesses, or thesecurities of qualified publicly traded partnerships; and(c) distribute at least 90% of its investment company

taxable income (which includes, among other items,dividends, interest and net short-term capital gains inexcess of net long-term capital losses but excludes netcapital gain, i f any) and at least 90% of its nettax-exempt interest income, if any, each taxable year.

As a regulated investment company, the Portfoliogenerally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxon its investment company taxable income (as that termis defined in the Code, but without regard to thededuction for dividends paid) and net capital gain (theexcess of net long-term capital gain over net short-termcapital loss), if any, that it distributes to Unitholders. ThePortfolio intends to distribute to its Unitholders, at leastannually, substantially all of its investment companytaxable income and net capital gain. If the Portfolioretains any net capital gain or investment companytaxable income, it will generally be subject to federalincome tax at regular corporate rates on the amountretained. In addition, amounts not distributed on atimely basis in accordance with a calendar yeardistribution requirement are subject to a nondeductible4% excise tax unless, generally, the Portfolio distributesduring each calendar year an amount equal to the sumof (1) at least 98% of its ordinary income (not taking intoaccount any capital gains or losses) for the calendaryear, (2) at least 98.2% of its capital gains in excess ofits capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses)for the one-year period ending October 31 of thecalendar year, and (3) any ordinary income and capitalgains for previous years that were not distributed ortaxed during those years. To prevent application of theexcise tax, the Portfolio intends to make its distributionsin accordance with the calendar year distributionrequirement. Further, if the Portfolio retains any netcapital gain, the Portfolio may designate the retainedamount as undistributed capital gains in a notice toUnitholders who, if subject to federal income tax onlong-term capital gains (i) will be required to include inincome for federal income tax purposes, as long-termcapital gain, their share of such undistributed amount,and (ii) will be entitled to credit their proportionate shareof the tax paid by the Portfolio against their federalincome tax liabilities, if any, and to claim refunds to theextent the credit exceeds such liabilities. A distribution

will be treated as paid on December 31 of the currentcalendar year if it is declared by the Portfolio in October,November or December with a record date in such amonth and paid by the Portfolio during January of thefollowing calendar year. These distributions will betaxable to Unitholders in the calendar year in which thedistributions are declared, rather than the calendar yearin which the distributions are received.

If the Portfolio failed to qualify as a regulatedinvestment company or failed to satisfy the 90%distribution requirement in any taxable year, the Portfoliowould be taxed as an ordinary corporation on itstaxable income (even if such income were distributed toits Unitholders) and all distributions out of earnings andprofits would be taxable to Unitholders as ordinarydividend income. There is no assurance that thedistributions from your Portfolio will be sufficient toeliminate all taxes in all years. A Portfolio may maketaxable distributions to you even during periods inwhich the share price has declined.

Your Portfolio may be required to withhold as backupwithholding federal income tax at the backupwithholding rate on all taxable distributions payable toyou i f you fai l to provide your correct taxpayeridentification number or to make required certifications,or if the IRS indicates that you are subject to backupwithholding. Backup withholding is not an additionaltax. Any amounts withheld may be credited againstyour federal income tax liability if you provide therequired information or certification.

If your Portfolio is treated as holding directly orindirectly 10 percent or more of the combined votingpower of the stock of a foreign corporation, and all U.S.shareholders collectively own more than 50 percent ofthe vote or value of the stock of such corporation, theforeign corporation may be treated as a “controlledforeign corporation” (a “CFC”) for U.S. federal incometax purposes. In such circumstances, your Portfolio willbe required to include certain types of passive incomeand certain other types of income relating to insurance,sales and services with related parties and oil relatedincome in the Portfolio’s taxable income whether or notsuch income is distributed.

If your Portfolio holds an equity interest in any “passiveforeign investment companies” (“PFICs”), which aregenerally certain foreign corporations that receive at least75% of their annual gross income from passive sources(such as interest, dividends, certain rents and royalties orcapital gains) or that hold at least 50% of their assets ininvestments producing such passive income, the Portfoliocould be subject to U.S. federal income tax and additionalinterest charges on gains and certain distributions withrespect to those equity interests, even if all the income orgain is timely distributed to its Unitholders. Your Portfoliowill not be able to pass through to its Unitholders anycredit or deduction for such taxes. Your Portfolio may beable to make an election that could ameliorate theseadverse tax consequences. In this case, your Portfoliowould recognize as ordinary income any increase in thevalue of such PFIC shares, and as ordinary loss anydecrease in such value to the extent it did not exceedprior increases included in income. Under this election,your Portfolio might be required to recognize in a yearincome in excess of its distributions from PFICs and itsproceeds from dispositions of PFIC stock during that year,and such income would nevertheless be subject to thedistribution requirement and would be taken into accountfor purposes of the 4% excise tax (described above).Dividends paid by PFICs will not be treated as qualifieddividend income.

PORTFOLIO TERMINATIONThe Portfolio may be liquidated at any time by

consent of Unitholders representing 66 2/3% of theUnits of such Portfolio then outstanding or by theTrustee when the value of the Securities owned by thePortfolio, as shown by any evaluation, is less than$500,000 ($3,000,000 if the value of the Portfolio hasexceeded $15,000,000). The Portfolio will be liquidatedby the Trustee in the event that a sufficient number ofUnits of such Portfolio not yet sold are tendered forredemption by the Sponsor, so that the net worth ofsuch Portfolio would be reduced to less than 40% of thevalue of the Securities at the time they were deposited insuch Portfolio. If the Portfolio is liquidated because of theredemption of unsold Units by the Sponsor, the Sponsorwill refund to each purchaser of Units the entire salescharge paid by such purchaser. The Trust Agreement will

terminate upon the sale or other disposition of the lastSecurity held thereunder, but in no event will it continuebeyond the Mandatory Termination Date.

Commencing during the period beginning ninebusiness days prior to, and no later than, the MandatoryTermination Date, Securities will begin to be sold inconnection with the termination of the Portfolio. TheSponsor will determine the manner, timing and executionof the sales of the Securities. The Sponsor shall direct theliquidation of the Securities in such manner as toeffectuate orderly sales and a minimal market impact. Inthe event the Sponsor does not so direct, the Securitiesshall be sold within a reasonable period and in suchmanner as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, shalldetermine. Unitholders will receive a cash distribution fromthe sale of the remaining Securities within a reasonabletime following the Mandatory Termination Date. TheTrustee will deduct from the funds of the Portfolio anyaccrued costs, expenses, advances or indemnitiesprovided by the Trust Agreement, including estimatedcompensation of the Trustee, costs of liquidation and anyamounts required as a reserve to provide for payment ofany applicable taxes or other governmental charges. Anysale of Securities in the Portfolio upon termination mayresult in a lower amount than might otherwise be realizedif such sale were not required at such time. The Trusteewill then distribute to each Unitholder of the Portfolio hispro rata share of the balance of the Income and CapitalAccounts of such Portfolio.

The Sponsor may, but is not obligated to, offer forsale units of a subsequent series of the Portfoliopursuant to the Rollover Option. There is, however, noassurance that units of any new series of the Portfoliowill be offered for sale at that time, or if offered, thatthere will be sufficient units available for sale to meet therequests of any or all Unitholders.

Within 60 days of the final distribution Unitholders willbe furnished a final distribution statement of the amountdistributable. At such time as the Trustee in its solediscretion will determine that any amounts held inreserve are no longer necessary, it will make distributionthereof to Unitholders in the same manner.
