Invariance under finite renormalization group (RG) transformations is used to structure the invariant charge in models with one coupling in the 4 lowest orders of perturbation theory. In every order there starts a RG-invariant, which is uniquely continued to higher orders. Whereas in massless models the RG-invariants are power series in logarithms, there is no such requirement in a massive model. Only, when one applies the Callan-Symanzik (CS) equation of the respective theories, the high-energy behavior of the RG-invariants is restricted. In models, where the CS-equation has the same form as the RG-equation, the massless limit is reached smoothly, i.e. the beta-functions are constants in the asymptotic limit and the RG-functions starting the new invariant tend to logarithms. On the other hand in the spontaneously broken models with fermions the CS-equation contains a beta-function of a physical mass. As a consequence the beta-functions depend on the normalization point also in the asymptotic region and a mass independent limit does not exist anymore.
