The Market Environment

 

Domestic Equity

At the start of the fiscal year, volatility in the equity markets increased. US equity markets rose in August 2022 until the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) chairman Jerome Powell gave hawkish comments at an economic policy symposium held in Jackson Hole, sparking a sharp selloff at month-end. The Fed reiterated that it would continue taking aggressive action to curb inflation, even though such measures could “bring pain to households and businesses,” and the Fed raised the benchmark federal funds rate by another 0.75% in September.1 After a continued decline in September 2022, US equity markets rebounded in October and November, despite mixed data on the economy and corporate earnings. However, the Fed’s message of continued rate hikes until data shows inflation meaningfully declining sent markets lower in December. As energy prices declined, the rate of inflation slowed modestly in the fourth quarter of 2022. Corporate earnings generally met expectations, though companies provided cautious future guidance. With inflation still at multi-decade highs and little evidence of a slowing economy, the Fed raised its target rate by 0.75% in November and by 0.50% in December.1

US equities managed to deliver gains in the first quarter of 2023 despite significant volatility and a banking crisis. A January rally gave way to a February selloff as higher-than-expected inflation, a tight labor market and solid economic growth indicated that the Fed’s monetary policy would remain tight for the foreseeable future, raising the risk of a deeper than expected recession. In March, the failure of two US regional banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, prompted steep losses in the banking sector. The subsequent takeover of Credit Suisse and ongoing fear that bank troubles would spread sent investors to safe-haven assets, sparking a bond rally, particularly among securities at the short end of the yield curve. With instability in the banking sector, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by only 0.25% in February of 2023 and again in March.1 The Fed’s actions to stabilize the banking system in March sent markets higher, so equities were surprisingly resilient despite the turmoil.

The US economy and equity markets remained resilient in the second quarter of 2023, as milder inflation data and better-than-expected corporate earnings supported equities, with most major indexes posting gains for the quarter and with some big tech names providing optimistic future guidance. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 4% as of May 31, 2023, the smallest 12-month increase in nearly two years.2 The labor market maintained momentum in the second quarter with unemployment still at historic lows despite a slight uptick at the end of May. Facing persistently strong employment data, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.25% at its May meeting, but investors got a long-awaited “pause” in rate hikes as the Fed left rates unchanged at its June meeting, sending equity

markets higher. However, the Fed raised rates another 0.25% in July, bringing the rate to its highest level since June 2006.1 After two months of gains, equity markets declined in August as a resilient economy complicated the Fed’s efforts to tame inflation. While inflation has slowed from its peak in June 2022, the highest level since 1981, the CPI rose by 0.2% in July and the 12-month headline inflation rate rose to 3.2% from 3% in June.2 At its annual Jackson Hole symposium in August 2023, Fed chair Jerome Powell remarked that while progress has been made, inflation is still too high, and the Fed intends “to hold policy at a restrictive level until we are confident that inflation is moving sustainably down toward our objective.”

Despite higher rates and increased market volatility, US stocks for the fiscal year had strong returns of 15.94%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index.3

Global Equity

Global equity markets declined at the beginning of the fiscal year weighed down by rising inflation, central bank tightening and a slowing global economy. To tame inflation, several central banks, including the US Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England, continued to raise interest rates. Emerging market equities, hampered by the strong US dollar, underperformed developed market equities. China faced headwinds, which included the country’s zero-COVID-19 policy and a growing property market crisis.

Global equity markets posted gains for the fourth quarter of 2022, after better inflation data sparked a rally in October and November. However, investor sentiment worsened in December after central banks signaled continued interest rate hikes into 2023 as inflation remained above target levels. International stocks outperformed US stocks, led by results in the UK and the rest of Europe. Emerging market equities also posted gains for the fourth quarter, driven by China, which eased its zero-COVID-19 policy and started to reopen.

For the first half of 2023, global equity markets continued to deliver gains amid continued interest rate increases, volatility and a banking crisis. The largest shock came in March 2023 as the failure of two US regional banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, along with the subsequent UBS takeover of Credit Suisse, led to a selloff in US and European financial stocks. Optimism about AI (Artificial Intelligence) boosted technology stocks during the second quarter of 2023. Emerging market equities also posted gains for the first half of 2023 but within the region, China’s equities declined due to weaker-than-expected economic data, real estate developer debt issues and geopolitical concerns.

The Market Environment–(continued)

 

Market volatility increased in August 2023, with both developed market equities and emerging market equities declining. For the overall fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, developed market equities posted a positive return, outperforming emerging market equities, which ended the period slightly positive.

POWA    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF (POWA)

 

Effective after the close of markets on August 25, 2023, Invesco Defensive Equity ETF changed its name to Invesco Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF (the “Fund”) and the underlying index changed from Invesco Defensive Equity Index (the “Previous Index”) to the Bloomberg Pricing Power Index (the “Index”). At that time, the Fund also changed its ticker symbol from DEF to POWA and changed its investment objective and investment policies.

As an index fund, the Fund is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Index, and through August 25, 2023, the Previous Index. The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in the securities that comprise the Index, and through August 25, 2023, the Previous Index.

Bloomberg Index Services Limited (the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is composed of the securities of U.S. large- and mid-cap companies that, in the view of the Index Provider, are well-positioned to maintain stable profit margins in all market conditions. The Index focuses on companies that have the smallest deviations among their annual gross profit margins over the last five years. Securities eligible for inclusion in the Index are screened, pursuant to the index methodology, for their company’s (i) profitability history, (ii) market cap sector ranking, (iii) debt to market capitalization ratio, and (iv) gross margin stability. The Fund generally will invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 6.29%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 6.36%. During the same time period, the Blended—Invesco Defensive Equity Index (which reflected the returns of the Previous Index from the beginning of the fiscal year through August 25, 2023, and of the Index for the remainder of the fiscal year, referred to herein as the “Custom Index”) returned 6.94%. During the fiscal year, the Fund fully replicated the components of the Custom Index; therefore, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Custom Index primarily due to fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund during the period.

During this same time period, the S&P 500® Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 15.94%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization and based on the average performance of approximately 500 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a broad representation of the overall U.S. stock market.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track its underlying index, which employs a proprietary stock selection and equal weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights stocks based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the industrials, health care and consumer staples sectors and most underweight in the information technology, communication services and energy sectors during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during the period can be attributed to the Fund’s underweight allocation to and security selection in the information technology and communication services sectors.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the industrials sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the financials and consumer discretionary sectors, respectively. The utilities sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the real estate and communication services sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, included O’Reilly Automotive, Inc., a consumer discretionary company (portfolio average weight of 1.08%), and Merck & Co., Inc., a health care company (no longer held at fiscal year-end). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during the period included CVS Health Corp., a health care company (no longer held at fiscal year-end), and Hasbro, Inc., a consumer discretionary (no longer held at fiscal year-end).

Guggenheim Defensive Equity ETF (the “Predecessor Fund”) Inception: December 15, 2006

Performance quoted above represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and shares of the Fund (“Fund Shares”), when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See the current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.40% is expressed as a unitary management fee to cover operating expenses and expenses incurred in connection with managing the portfolio. NAV and Market Price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and Market Price, respectively. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund Shares. See invesco.com/ETFs to find the most recent month-end performance numbers.

Performance results for the indexes stated above are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. The returns of an index do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The indexes do not charge management fees or brokerage expenses, and no such fees or expenses were deducted from the hypothetical performance shown. In addition, the results actual investors might have achieved would have differed from those shown because of differences in the timing, amounts of their investments, and fees and expenses associated with an investment in the Fund.

IUS    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco RAFITM Strategic US ETF (IUS)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco RAFI Strategic US ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Invesco Strategic US Index (the “Index”). The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index.

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (“Invesco Indexing” or the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of equity securities of U.S. companies that tend to have larger, higher quality businesses. Invesco Indexing is affiliated with Invesco Capital Management LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser, and Invesco Distributors, Inc., the Fund’s distributor.

The Index Provider selects components for inclusion in the Index from an investment universe of domestic equity securities with at least one year of trading history. Each eligible equity security is assigned a business-size score (“Business-Size Score”) based on the equally-weighted average of the following four factors of company size over the prior five years (or, if shorter, the life of the security): sales, operating cash flow, total return of capital (dividends and share repurchases) and book value. For real estate securities (real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and common stocks of companies in the real estate sector), operating cash flow is replaced by funds from operations and book value is replaced by total assets. Each eligible security is then assigned a quality score (“Quality Score”) based on the equally-weighted average of the following two quality factors of its company’s business: efficiency (calculated as the ratio of sales-to-assets in the prior year) and growth (calculated as the percentage change in the ratio of sales-to-assets over the prior five years (or, if shorter, the life of the security)). Each eligible security is ranked in descending order by its Business-Size Score. Those securities within the top 90% in cumulative Business-Size Score are eligible for inclusion in the Index and, of those, the 80% with the highest Quality Scores are included in the Index. Securities in the Index are weighted proportionally to their float-adjusted Business-Size Scores. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a broad representation of the overall U.S. stock market.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 14.34%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 14.46%. During the same time period, the Index returned 14.67%. During the fiscal year, the Fund fully replicated the components of the Index; therefore, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to the fees and expenses that the Fund incurred during the period.

During this same time period, the Russell 1000® Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 15.40%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization and based on the average performance of approximately 1,000 securities.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary stock selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights stocks based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the energy and communication services sectors and most underweight in the information technology and financials sectors during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during the period can be attributed to the Fund’s underweight allocation to and security selection in the information technology sector.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the information technology sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the communication services and industrials sectors, respectively. The utilities sector was the only sector to detract from the Fund’s return during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, included Meta Platforms, Inc., Class A, a communication services company (portfolio average weight of 1.91%), and Apple, Inc., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 5.14%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during the period included CVS Health Corp., a health care company (portfolio average weight of 1.02%), and Lumen Technologies, Inc., a communication services company (portfolio average weight of 0.09%).

Liquidity Risk Management Program

 

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Funds. The Board of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Capital Management LLC (“Invesco”), the Funds’ investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco and its affiliates.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Funds’ liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Funds’ liquidity risk: (1) each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Funds during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (3) each Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements; (4) the relationship between the Funds’ portfolio liquidity and the way in which, and the prices and spreads at which, Fund shares trade, including the efficiency of the arbitrage function and the level of active participation by market participants, including authorized participants; and (5) the effect of the composition of baskets on the overall liquidity of each Fund’s portfolio. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of each Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. Each Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid,” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, a Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of such Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of such Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 24, 2023, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (the “Program Reporting Period”). The Report discussed notable events affecting liquidity over the Program Reporting Period, including the impact of the Russia-Ukraine War, and resulting sanctions, inflation concerns and the overall market. The Report noted that there were no material changes to the Program during the Program Reporting Period.

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

 

   

The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;

 

   

Each Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;

 

   

Each Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;

 

   

The Funds did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and

 

   

The Funds primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore have not adopted an HLIM.

Notes to Financial Statements

Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust

August 31, 2023

NOTE 1–Organization

Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). This report includes the following portfolios:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

Invesco Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF (POWA)*    “Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF”
Invesco RAFITM Strategic US ETF (IUS)    “RAFITM Strategic US ETF”

 

*

Effective after the close of markets on August 25, 2023, the Fund’s name changed from Invesco Defensive Equity ETF to Invesco Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF.

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc. RAFITM Strategic US ETF’s Shares are listed and traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

The market price of each Share may differ to some degree from a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units by authorized participants (“APs”), the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

NOTE 2–Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial

statements.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services–Investment Companies.

A.

Security Valuation - Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies:

A security listed or traded on an exchange is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded or, lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.

Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day NAV per share.

Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.

Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots, and their value may be adjusted accordingly.

 

   24   

 

 

 

 


 

Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts’) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith in accordance with Board-approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American depositary receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, the potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

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

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

The price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, a Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.

B.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from REITs is recorded based on the income included in the distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT classifications, including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of

 

   25   

 

 

 

 


 

capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

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

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

Country Determination - For the purposes of presentation in the Schedules of Investments, the Adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include whether each Fund’s Underlying Index has made a country determination and may include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders annually and records such dividends on the ex-dividend date. RAFITM Strategic US ETF declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records such dividends on the ex-dividend date. In addition, the Funds intend to distribute any capital gains to shareholders as capital gain dividends at least annually. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal year or period-end.

E.

Federal Income Taxes - Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses - Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of each Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses, including proxy expenses (except for such proxies related to: (i) changes to the Investment Advisory Agreement, (ii) the election of any Board member who is an “interested person” of the Trust or the Adviser (an “Interested Trustee”), or (iii) any other matters that directly benefit the Adviser).

Prior to August 28, 2023, Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF was responsible for all of its expenses, including the investment advisory fees, costs of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with executions of portfolio transactions, sub-licensing fees related to its Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust’s Board members who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or the Adviser (the “Independent Trustees”), expenses incurred in connection with the Board members’ services, including travel

 

   26   

 

 

 

 


 

expenses and legal fees of counsel for the Independent Trustees, and other extraordinary expenses, including proxy expenses (except for such proxies related to: (i) changes to the Investment Advisory Agreement, (ii) the election of an Interested Trustee, or (iii) any other matters that directly benefit the Adviser).

Expenses of the Trust that are excluded from a Fund’s unitary management fee and are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are excluded from a Fund’s unitary management fee and are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

G.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications - Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between such trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Securities Lending - Each Fund may participate in securities lending and may loan portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% (105% for international securities) of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “affiliated money market funds”) and is shown as such on the Schedules of Investments. Each Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the policy of these Funds to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, each Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to each Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or each Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to each Fund the securities loaned and each Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. Each Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to each Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. Each Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. For Funds that participated in securities lending, dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for each Fund participating in the securities lending program. The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent a Fund utilizes Invesco as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, each Fund had affiliated securities lending transactions with Invesco. Fees paid to Invesco for securities lending agent services, which are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations, were incurred by each Fund as listed below:

J.

Other Risks

AP Concentration Risk. Only APs may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with each Fund. Each Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as APs, and such APs have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders. Consequently, there is no assurance that APs will establish or maintain an active trading market for the Shares. This risk may be heightened to the extent that securities held by each Fund are traded outside a collateralized settlement system. In that case, APs may be required to post collateral on certain trades on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of APs may be able to do. In addition, to the extent that APs exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to each Fund and no other AP is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, this may result in a significantly diminished trading market for Fund Shares, and Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to a Fund’s NAV and to face trading halts and/or delisting. Investments in non-U.S. securities, which may have lower trading volumes or could experience extended market closures or trading halts, may increase the risk that APs may not be able to effectively create or redeem Creation Units or the risk that the Shares may be halted and/or delisted.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of equity securities, including common stocks, may fall due to both changes in general economic conditions that impact the market as a whole, as well as factors that directly relate to a specific company or its industry. Such general economic conditions include changes in interest rates, periods of market turbulence or instability, or general and prolonged periods of economic decline and cyclical change. It is possible that a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the common stocks that each Fund holds. In addition, equity risk includes the risk that investor sentiment toward one or more industries will become negative, resulting in those investors exiting their investments in those industries, which could cause a reduction in the value of companies in those industries more broadly. The value of a company’s common stock may fall solely because of factors, such as an increase in production costs that negatively impact other companies in the same region, industry or sector of the market. A company’s common stock also may decline significantly in price over a short period of time due to factors specific to that company, including decisions made by its management or lower demand for the company’s products or services. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report or the failure to make anticipated dividend payments, may depress the value of common stock.

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, each Fund does not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of its Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming. Additionally, each Fund rebalances its portfolio in accordance with its Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will result in corresponding changes to each Fund’s rebalance schedule.

Industry Concentration Risk. In following its methodology, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers operating in a single industry or industry group. To the extent that each Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or industry group, the corresponding Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or industry group, each Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or industry groups. Such industry-based risks, any of which may adversely affect the companies in which each Fund invests, may include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic conditions or cyclical market patterns that could negatively affect supply and demand in a particular industry; competition for resources, adverse labor relations, political or world events; obsolescence of technologies; and increased competition or new product introductions that may affect the profitability or viability of companies in an industry. In addition, at times, such industry or industry group may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole.

Market Risk. Securities in each Underlying Index are subject to market fluctuations. You should anticipate that the value of the Shares will decline, more or less, in correlation with any decline in value of the securities in an Underlying Index.

Additionally, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, economic crises or other events could result in increased premiums or discounts to each Fund’s NAV.

Non-Correlation Risk. Each Fund’s return may not match the return of its corresponding Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its corresponding Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its corresponding Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund’s portfolio and its corresponding Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs or liquidity constraints.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF may engage in frequent trading of its portfolio securities in connection with the rebalancing or adjustment of its Underlying Index. A portfolio turnover rate of 200%, for example, is equivalent to the Fund buying and selling all of its securities two times during the course of a year. A high portfolio turnover rate (such as 100% or more) could result in high brokerage costs for the Fund. While a high portfolio turnover rate can result in an increase in taxable capital gains distributions to the Fund’s shareholders, the Fund will seek to utilize the in-kind creation and redemption mechanism to minimize the realization of capital gains to the extent possible.

REIT Risk. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that trade like stocks and invest substantially all of their assets in real estate and may qualify for special tax considerations. REITs are subject to certain risks inherent in the direct ownership of real estate,

 

   28   

 

 

 

 


 

including without limitation, a possible lack of mortgage funds and associated interest rate risks, overbuilding, property vacancies, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, losses due to environmental damages and changes in neighborhood values and appeal to purchasers. Further, failure of a company to qualify as a REIT under federal tax law may have adverse consequences to the REIT’s shareholders. In addition, REITs may have expenses, including advisory and administration expenses, and REIT shareholders will incur a proportionate share of the underlying expenses.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Company Risk. Investing in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Often small- and mid-capitalization companies and the industries in which they focus are still evolving and, as a result, they may be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

NOTE 3–Investment Advisory Agreements and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser on behalf of each Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of each Fund’s investments, managing each Fund’s business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, each Fund accrues daily and pays monthly to the Adviser an annual unitary management fee. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses, including proxy expenses (except for such proxies related to: (i) changes to the Investment Advisory Agreement, (ii) the election of any Board member who is an “interested person” of the Trust, or (iii) any other matters that directly benefit the Adviser). The unitary management fee is paid by each Fund to the Adviser at the following annual rates:

 

     Unitary Management Fees
(as a % of average daily net  assets)
Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF*    0.40%
RAFITM Strategic US ETF    0.19%

 

*

Effective on August 28, 2023, the Fund’s annual advisory fee was reduced and changed to a unitary management fee.

Prior to August 28, 2023, pursuant to another Investment Advisory Agreement, Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF accrued daily and paid monthly to the Adviser an annual fee equal to 0.50% of its average daily net assets. Prior to August 28, 2023, the Adviser had agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF (excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, if applicable, and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year (the “Expense Cap”).

Through at least August 31, 2025, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive the management fee payable by each Fund in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 100% of the net advisory fees earned by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser that are attributable to the Fund’s investments in money market funds that are managed by affiliates of the Adviser and other funds (including ETFs) managed by the Adviser or affiliates of the Adviser or (ii) the management fee available to be waived. This waiver does not apply to a Fund’s investment of cash collateral received for securities lending. There is no guarantee that the Adviser will extend the waiver of these fees past that date. This agreement is not subject to recapture by the Adviser.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Adviser waived fees and/or paid Fund expenses for each Fund in the following amounts:

 

Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF    $ 171  
RAFITM Strategic US ETF      75  

The fees waived and/or expenses borne by the Adviser for Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF pursuant to the Expense Cap were subject to recapture by the Adviser up to three years from the date the fees were waived or the expenses were incurred, but no recapture payment would be made by the Fund if it would result in the Fund exceeding (i) the Expense Cap or (ii) the expense cap in effect at the time the fees and/or expenses subject to recapture were waived and/or borne by the Adviser. Claims for any unreimbursed fees were terminated in connection with the implementation of Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF’s unitary management fee effective on August 28, 2023.

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Funds are not charged any fees pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

 

   29   

 

 

 

 


 

The Adviser has entered into a licensing agreement on behalf of each Fund with the following entities (each, a “Licensor”):

 

Fund

  

Licensor

Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF    Bloomberg Index Services Limited
RAFITM Strategic US ETF    Invesco Indexing LLC

Each Underlying Index name trademark is owned by its respective Licensor. These trademarks have been licensed to the Adviser for use by the Funds. Each Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to the Trust’s sub-licensing agreement with the Adviser. The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensors, and the Licensors make no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of the Funds.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby BNYM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the following Funds incurred brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc. (“ICMI”), an affiliate of the Adviser and Distributor, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Funds, as listed below:

 

Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF    $ 58,747  
RAFITM Strategic US ETF      5,696  

Portfolio transactions with ICMI that have not settled at period-end, if any, are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the receivable caption Investments sold - affiliated broker and/or payable caption Investments purchased - affiliated broker.

NOTE 4–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 Level 1 –   Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
 Level 2 –   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
 Level 3 –   Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Adviser’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2023, for RAFITM Strategic US ETF. As of August 31, 2023, all of the securities in Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedules of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 8–Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

The Adviser, as a result of each Fund’s unitary management fee, pays remuneration to the Independent Trustees and an Officer of the Trust on behalf of the Funds. Prior to August 28, 2023, Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF accrued amounts to pay for such remuneration. These fees accrued by Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF are included in Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees. The Interested Trustee does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, each Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of their compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select Invesco ETFs. The Deferral Fees payable to a Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to a Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the Plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

NOTE 9–Capital

Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units consisting of a specified number of Shares as set forth in each Fund’s prospectus. Only APs are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are principally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of a Fund on the transaction date. However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the AP or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with the Trust’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an AP, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the AP to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the AP’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Certain transaction fees may be charged by the Funds for creations and redemptions, which are treated as increases in capital.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust and Shareholders of Invesco Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF and Invesco RAFITM Strategic US ETF

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Invesco Bloomberg Pricing Power ETF and Invesco RAFITM Strategic US ETF (two of the funds constituting Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of August 31, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2023, and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of a Fund of the Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses, including proxy expenses (except for such proxies related to: (i) changes to the Investment Advisory Agreement, (ii) the election of an Interested Trustee, or (iii) any other matters that directly benefit the Adviser). The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2023 through August 31, 2023.

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any

transaction costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in

comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1)

Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six-month period ended August 31, 2023. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 184/365. Expense ratios for the most recent six-month period may differ from expense ratios based on the annualized data in the Financial Highlights.

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided or to be provided, (ii) the investment performance of each Fund, as applicable, and the Adviser, (iii) the fees paid or to be paid by the Funds and comparisons to amounts paid by other comparable registered investment companies, (iv) the costs of services provided or to be provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, as applicable, (v) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as a Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders and (vi) any further benefits realized by the Adviser or its affiliates from the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed or to be performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser’s execution and/or oversight of execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds.

The Trustees reviewed information on the performance of the Funds (except Invesco Racial and Gender Diversity ETF which had not yet commenced operations as of December 31, 2022) and their underlying indexes for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods ended December 31, 2022, as applicable, including reports for each of those periods on the correlation and tracking error between each Fund’s performance and the performance of its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s analysis of the tracking error between certain Funds and their underlying indexes. In reviewing the tracking error reports, the Trustees considered information provided by Invesco’s independent performance and risk management group with respect to general expected tracking error ranges. The Trustees also considered that certain Funds were created in connection with the purchases by Invesco of the exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) businesses of Guggenheim Capital LLC (“Guggenheim”) on April 6, 2018 or May 18, 2018 and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Oppenheimer”) on May 24, 2019 (each, a “Transaction”), and that each such Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the applicable Transaction is that of its predecessor Guggenheim ETF or Oppenheimer ETF. The Trustees noted that, for each applicable period, the correlation and tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement. The Board concluded that each Fund’s correlation to its underlying index and the tracking error for each Fund were within an acceptable range given that Fund’s particular circumstances.

The Trustees considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds’ administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts–(continued)

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided or to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were or were expected to be appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund’s net expense ratio and unitary advisory fee. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged or to be charged to each Fund, as set forth below, is a unitary advisory fee and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses, costs incurred in connection with proxies (except certain proxies) and other extraordinary expenses:

 

   

0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for each of Invesco BulletShares 2023 Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2024 Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2025 Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2026 Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2027 Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2028 Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2029 Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2030 Corporate Bond ETF and Invesco BulletShares 2031 Corporate Bond ETF;

 

   

0.13% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Invesco Investment Grade Defensive ETF;

 

   

0.18% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for each of Invesco BulletShares 2023 Municipal Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2024 Municipal Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2025 Municipal Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2026 Municipal Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2027 Municipal Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2028 Municipal Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2029 Municipal Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2030 Municipal Bond ETF and Invesco BulletShares 2031 Municipal Bond ETF;

 

   

0.19% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Invesco RAFITM Strategic US ETF;

 

   

0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Invesco Racial and Gender Diversity ETF;

 

   

0.29% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Invesco Russell 1000® Dynamic Multifactor ETF;

 

   

0.34% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Invesco International Developed Dynamic Multifactor ETF;

 

   

0.39% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Invesco Russell 2000® Dynamic Multifactor ETF; and

 

   

0.42% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for each of Invesco BulletShares 2023 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2024 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2025 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2026 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2027 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco BulletShares 2028 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Invesco BulletShares 2029 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF.

The Trustees compared each Fund’s net expense ratio to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the net expense ratios of comparable ETFs, open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end (non-ETF) actively-managed funds, as applicable. The Trustees noted that the net expense ratios for certain Funds were equal to or lower than the median net expense ratios of their ETF and open-end index peer funds, as applicable, as illustrated in the table below. The Trustees also noted that the net expense ratios for all of the Funds were lower than the median net expense ratios of their open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The information provided by the Adviser indicated that certain Funds did not have any open-end index fund peers. Those Funds have been designated in this column with an “N/A” for not available.

The Trustees noted information, including fee information, provided by the Adviser regarding other investment products to which it provides investment advisory services, including products that have investment strategies comparable to that of Invesco Russell 1000® Dynamic Multifactor ETF. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s explanation of the differences between the services provided or to be provided to the Funds and to the other investment products it advises, noting the Adviser’s statement that the management and oversight of the Funds requires substantially more labor and expense.

Based on all of the information provided, the Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged or to be charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided or to be provided, the nature of the index, the distinguishing factors of the Fund and the administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fees, the Trustees considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser regarding its overall profitability, as well as the estimated profitability to the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees did not consider the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement or the estimated profitability of the Adviser in managing Invesco Racial and Gender Diversity ETF because the Fund had not yet commenced operations as of December 31, 2022. With respect to the Adviser’s profitability information, the Trustees considered that there is no recognized standard or uniform methodology for determining profitability for this purpose. Furthermore, the Trustees noted that there are limitations inherent in allocating costs and calculating profitability for an organization such as the Adviser’s. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the overall and estimated profitability to the Adviser was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size and unitary advisory fee. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the

Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts–(continued)

Adviser, but a unitary advisory fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has reduced advisory fees for the Invesco ETFs numerous times since 2011, including through permanent advisory fee reductions and various advisory fee waivers. The Board considered whether the unitary advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund and concluded that the unitary advisory fee rates were reasonable and appropriate.

Fall-out Benefits. The Trustees considered that the Adviser identified no additional benefits it receives from its relationship with the Funds, and noted that the Adviser is not a party to any soft-dollar, commission recapture or directed brokerage arrangements with respect to the Funds. The Trustees considered benefits received by affiliates of the Adviser that may be directly or indirectly attributed to the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds, including brokerage fees, advisory fees from affiliated money market cash management vehicles and fees as the Funds’ securities lending agent. The Trustees also considered that Invesco Distributors, Inc. and Invesco Indexing LLC, affiliates of the Adviser, serve as each Fund’s distributor and index provider and are paid a distribution fee and licensing fee, respectively, by the Adviser. The Board concluded that each Fund’s unitary advisory fee was reasonable, taking into account any ancillary benefits received by affiliates of the Adviser.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts

At a meeting held on April 18, 2023, the Board of Trustees of the Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust (the “Trust”), including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust for Invesco Defensive Equity ETF (the “Fund”).

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser, (iii) the fees and expenses paid by the Fund and comparisons to amounts paid by other comparable registered investment companies, (iv) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (v) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders and (vi) any further benefits realized by the Adviser or its affiliates from the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Fund, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser’s execution and/or oversight of execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund.

The Trustees reviewed information on the performance of the Fund and its underlying index for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception (December 15, 2006) periods ended December 31, 2022, including reports for the one-year, three-year and since inception periods on the correlation and tracking error between the Fund’s performance and the performance of its underlying index. In reviewing the tracking error report, the Trustees considered information provided by Invesco’s independent performance and risk management group with respect to the Fund’s general expected tracking error range. The Trustees also considered that the Fund was created in connection with the purchase by Invesco of the exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) business of Guggenheim Capital LLC (“Guggenheim”) (the “Transaction”) and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction on April 6, 2018 is that of its predecessor Guggenheim ETF. The Trustees noted that, for each period, the correlation and tracking error for the Fund were within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement. The Board concluded that the Fund was correlated to its underlying index and that the tracking error for the Fund was within an acceptable range given the Fund’s circumstances.

The Trustees considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Fund’s administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on the Fund’s contractual advisory fee, net advisory fee and gross and net expense ratios. The Trustees noted that the annual contractual advisory fee charged to the Fund is 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and that the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its contractual advisory fee and/or pay expenses (the “Expense Cap”) to the extent necessary to prevent the annual operating expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, if applicable, and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year through at least August 31, 2025.

The Trustees compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and net expense ratio to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the net advisory fees and net expense ratios of comparable ETFs, open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end (non-ETF) actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee was higher than the median net advisory fees of its ETF peer funds and open-end index peer funds, but was lower than the median net advisory fee of its open-end actively-managed peer funds. The Trustees also noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio was higher than the median net expense ratios of its ETF peer funds and open-end index peer funds, but was lower than the median net expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees noted information, including fee information, provided by the Adviser regarding other investment products to which it provides investment advisory services, noting that the Adviser indicated that none of the other investment products have investment strategies comparable to that of the Fund. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s explanation of the differences

Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts–(continued)

between the services provided to the Fund and to the other investment products it advises, noting the Adviser’s statement that the management and oversight of the Fund requires substantially more labor and expense.

Based on all of the information provided, the Board determined that the contractual advisory fee and net expense ratio of the Fund were reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided, the nature of the index, the distinguishing factors of the Fund and the administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser.

In conjunction with their review of fees, the Trustees considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund, as well as the fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser for the Fund. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser regarding its overall profitability, as well as the estimated profitability to the Adviser from its relationship to the Fund. With respect to the Adviser’s profitability information, the Trustees considered that there is no recognized standard or uniform methodology for determining profitability for this purpose. Furthermore, the Trustees noted that there are limitations inherent in allocating costs and calculating profitability for an organization such as the Advisers. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the overall and estimated profitability to the Adviser was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders. The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s asset size, advisory fee, expense ratio and the Expense Cap agreed to by the Adviser. The Trustees noted that the Expense Cap agreement with the Trust provides that the Adviser is entitled to be reimbursed by the Fund for fees waived or expenses absorbed pursuant to the Expense Cap for a period of three years from the date the fee or expense was incurred, provided that no reimbursement would be made that would result in the Fund exceeding its Expense Cap then in effect or in effect at the time the fees and/or expenses subject to reimbursement were waived and/or borne by the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has reduced advisory fees for the Invesco ETFs numerous times since 2011, including through permanent advisory fee reductions and various advisory fee waivers. The Board considered whether the advisory fee rate for the Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of the Fund and concluded that the flat advisory fee rate was reasonable and appropriate.

Fall-out Benefits. The Trustees considered that the Adviser identified no additional benefits it receives from its relationship with the Fund, and noted that the Adviser is not a party to any soft-dollar, commission recapture, or directed brokerage arrangements with respect to the Fund. The Trustees considered benefits received by affiliates of the Adviser that may be directly or indirectly attributed to the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund, including brokerage fees, advisory fees from affiliated money market cash management vehicles and fees as the Fund’s securities lending agent. The Trustees also considered that Invesco Distributors, Inc. and Invesco Indexing LLC, affiliates of the Adviser, serve as the Fund’s distributor and index provider and are paid a distribution fee and licensing fee, respectively, by the Adviser. The Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable, taking into account any ancillary benefits received by affiliates of the Adviser.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.
