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

QQMG    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQMG)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Nasdaq-100® ESG Index (the “Index”). The Fund generally will invest at least 90% of its total assets in the securities that comprise the Index.

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Nasdaq, Inc. (“Nasdaq” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of companies included in the Nasdaq-100® Index (the “Parent Index”) that also meet the Index Provider’s environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria. The Parent Index includes securities of 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC based on market capitalization. Security types generally eligible for inclusion in the Parent Index are common stocks and tracking stocks of companies located in the United States, as well as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) that represent securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Parent Index reflects companies from all major sectors, except for companies that are classified as “financials” according to the Industry Classification Benchmark. Companies organized as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are not eligible for inclusion in the Parent Index. Companies that are included in the Parent Index are evaluated for inclusion in the Index on the basis of the Index Provider’s ESG criteria, which considers a company’s (i) business activities, (ii) business controversy levels and ESG risk ratings, and (iii) adherence to the principles of the United Nations Global Compact.

The Index employs negative screens to exclude securities of companies with business activities that do not meet the eligibility criteria for the Index. Such screens rely on information from Sustainalytics, a globally-recognized independent provider of ESG research, ratings, and data. Companies’ business activities are distinguished between categories with absolute prohibitions (which do not allow any involvement by a company in a certain business activity) and categories that permit a de minimis amount of a certain business activity (generally, permitting a company to derive less than 5% of its revenues from, or to own less than 10% of another company that engages in, such activity). The Index Provider also utilizes information from Sustainalytics to determine issuers’ business controversy levels and ESG Risk Rating Score. The ESG Risk Rating Score is designed to measure the magnitude of a company’s unmanaged ESG risk. Companies are assigned risk scores ranging from 0 (indicating that ESG risks have been fully managed) to 100 (indicating the highest level of unmanaged ESG risk), and the Index Provider excludes companies with an ESG risk rating of 40 or higher from the Index. Sustainalytics also monitors companies for controversies pertaining to ESG and assesses incidents in terms of their level of impact on the environment and society and the related risk to the company itself. Such events are scored on a scale from 1 (low impact) to 5 (severe impact), depending on the reputational risk to the company and potential

impact on stakeholders. The Index Provider excludes companies with a controversy rating higher than 4 from the Index. Additionally, eligible issuers must be deemed compliant with the principles of the UN Global Compact, which is an arrangement by which companies voluntarily and publicly commit to a set of principles drawn from key UN Conventions and Declarations. The Index is calculated under a “modified ESG Risk Rating Score-adjusted market capitalization-weighted” methodology, where constituents’ weightings are calculated and adjusted based on a formula that considers such constituents’ ESG Risk Rating Score and market capitalization. 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 30.78%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 30.88%. During the same time period, the Index returned 31.07%. 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 Nasdaq Composite® Total Return Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 19.85%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization and based on the average performance of approximately 3,400 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparisons are a useful measure for investors as broad representations of the overall U.S. stock market.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the majority of the Fund’s outperformance during the period can be attributed to the Fund’s overweight allocation to and security selection within 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 health care sectors, respectively. The financials sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during the period, followed by the utilities sector.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, included NVIDIA Corp., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 6.43%) and Microsoft Corp., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 13.31%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during the period included Tesla, Inc., a consumer discretionary company (portfolio average weight of 2.46%) and PayPal Holdings, Inc., a financials company (portfolio average weight of 0.95%).

QQJG    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco ESG NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF (QQJG)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco ESG NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Nasdaq Next Generation 100 ESG Index® (the “Index”). The Fund generally will invest at least 90% of its total assets in the securities that comprise the Index.

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Nasdaq, Inc. (“Nasdaq” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of companies included in the Nasdaq Next Generation 100 Index® (the “Parent Index”) that also meet the Index Provider’s environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria. The Parent Index is comprised of securities of the next generation of Nasdaq-listed non-financial companies; that is, the largest 100 Nasdaq-listed companies outside of the Nasdaq-100 Index® (the “Nasdaq-100”) based on market capitalization. To be eligible for inclusion in the Parent Index, a security must meet the existing eligibility criteria of the Nasdaq-100, an index that measures the performance of 100 of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial companies by market capitalization on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Securities meeting the Nasdaq-100 eligibility criteria are ranked by market capitalization, with the largest 100 securities not currently in the Nasdaq-100 selected for inclusion in the Parent Index. Security types generally eligible for inclusion in the Parent Index are common stocks and tracking stocks of companies located in the United States, as well as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) that represent securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Parent Index reflects companies from all major sectors, except for companies that are classified as “financials” according to the Industry Classification Benchmark. Companies organized as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are not eligible for inclusion in the Parent Index. Companies that are included in the Parent Index are evaluated for inclusion in the Index on the basis of the Index Provider’s ESG criteria, which considers a company’s (i) business activities, business controversy levels and ESG risk ratings, and (iii) adherence to the principles of the United Nations Global Compact.

The Index Provider also utilizes information from Sustainalytics to determine issuers’ business controversy levels and ESG Risk Rating Score. The ESG Risk Rating Score is designed to measure the magnitude of a company’s unmanaged ESG risk. Companies are assigned risk scores ranging from 0 (indicating that ESG risks have been fully

managed) to 100 (indicating the highest level of unmanaged ESG risk), and the Index Provider excludes companies with an ESG risk rating of 40 or higher from the Index. Sustainalytics also monitors companies for controversies pertaining to ESG and assesses incidents in terms of their level of impact on the environment and society and the related risk to the company itself.

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 7.10%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 7.16%. During the same time period, the Index returned 7.35%. 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 Nasdaq Composite® Total Return Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 19.85%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization and based on the average performance of approximately 3,400 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparisons are a useful measure for investors as broad representations of the overall U.S. stock market.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the majority of the Fund’s underperformance during the period can be attributed to security selection within the information technology and communication services sectors, respectively.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the information technology sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors, respectively. The communication services sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during the period, followed by the financials sector.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, included Coca-Cola Europacific Partners PLC, a consumer staples company (portfolio

   Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM)

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Nasdaq, Inc. (“Nasdaq” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which includes securities of 100 of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC based on market capitalization. Security types generally eligible for inclusion in the Index are common stocks and tracking stocks, as well as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) that represent securities of non-U.S. issuers. Companies organized as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are not eligible for inclusion in the Index.

The Index reflects companies from all major sectors, except for companies that are classified as “financials” according to the Industry Classification Benchmark. The Index weights its component securities using a “modified market capitalization- weighted” methodology, which is a hybrid between equal weighting and conventional capitalization weighting. Under this methodology, no component security may exceed 24% of the weight of the Index. 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 27.11%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 27.26%. During the same time period, the Index returned 27.44%. 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 Nasdaq Composite® Total Return Index returned 19.85% and the Russell 3000® Index returned 14.76% (each, a “Benchmark Index” and, collectively the “Benchmark Indices”). The Benchmark Indices are unmanaged indices weighted by market capitalization and based on the average performance of approximately 3,400 securities and 3,000 securities, respectively. These Benchmark Indices were selected for their recognition in the marketplace, and their performance comparisons are a useful measure for investors as broad representations of the overall U.S. stock market.

Relative to the Nasdaq Composite® Total Return Index, the majority of the Fund’s outperformance during the period can be attributed to the Fund’s overweight allocation to and security selection within the information technology sector as well as to the Fund’s underweight allocation to and security selection within the health care sector.

Relative to the Russell 3000® Index, the majority of the Fund’s outperformance during the period can be attributed to the Fund’s overweight allocation to and security selection within 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 health care sectors, respectively. The financials sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during the period, followed by the utilities sector.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, included NVIDIA Corp., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 4.41%) and Microsoft Corp., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 11.54%).

QQQS    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco NASDAQ Future Gen 200 ETF (QQQS)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco NASDAQ Future Gen 200 ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the NASDAQ Innovators Completion Cap IndexTM (the “Index”). The Fund generally will invest at least 90% of its total assets in the securities that comprise the Index.

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Nasdaq, Inc. (“Nasdaq” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is comprised of securities of approximately 200 Nasdaq-listed, non-financial companies outside of the Nasdaq-100 Index® and Nasdaq Next Generation 100 Index® that have the most valuable portfolios of patents relative to their total market values, as estimated by a third-party data provider.

Securities are selected for inclusion in the Index based on the estimated value of their issuers’ patent portfolios, as determined by IPR Strategies, an independent data provider. IPR Strategies seeks to determine the potential value of an issuer by quantifying such issuer’s intangible assets, such as its intellectual property and research and development activities, as represented by patents held by such issuer. To value a company’s patent portfolio, IPR Strategies utilizes a proprietary valuation model that takes into account patent data collected from multiple sources, including patent offices and corporate filings, as well as a variety of other economic data, including actual values from previously traded patents. The model then determines a “patent value estimate,” which represents the estimated dollar value of the portfolio of patents held by an issuer.

To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a security must be a member of the Nasdaq Composite (a broad-based, capitalization-weighted index of all stocks listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC) and must, among other criteria at the time of screening, have (i) traded for at least three calendar months, (ii) a minimum full market capitalization of $100 million, and (iii) a minimum average daily trading volume of $1 million. The Index excludes securities of issuers included in the Nasdaq-100 Index® (an index that measures the performance of 100 of the largest Nasdaq-listed non-financial companies by market capitalization) and the Nasdaq Next Generation 100 Index® (an index that measures the performance of the 100 largest Nasdaq-listed companies outside of the Nasdaq-100 Index® based on market capitalization). Securities eligible for inclusion in the Index may be of any capitalization (subject to the minimum $100 million threshold noted above), including small- and mid-cap companies. The Index may include companies from all major sectors, except for companies that are classified as “financials” according to the Industry Classification Benchmark.

All eligible issuers are ranked by the ratio of the company’s patent value estimate (as determined by IPR Strategies) to its market capitalization, and the securities of the 200 issuers with the largest ratios (i.e., those with larger patent portfolio values relative

to their market capitalization) are included in the Index. The Index is an equally weighted index. “Equal weighting” means that the Index assigns each component security the same weight.

Security types generally eligible for inclusion in the Index include common stocks and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) that represent securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Fund generally will invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (October 13, 2022, the first day of trading on the exchange) through August 31, 2023, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 4.01%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 4.09%. During the same time period, the Index returned 4.10%. During the fiscal period, 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 operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period, which were partially offset by proceeds from the securities lending program in which the Fund participates.

During this same time period, the Nasdaq Composite® Total Return Index returned 32.87% and the Russell 2000® Index returned 11.44% (each, a “Benchmark Index” and, collectively the “Benchmark Indices”). The Benchmark Indices are unmanaged indices weighted by market capitalization and based on the average performance of approximately 3,400 securities and 2,000 securities, respectively. These Benchmark Indices were selected for their recognition in the marketplace, and their performance comparisons are a useful measure for investors as broad representations of the overall U.S. stock market.

Relative to the Nasdaq Composite® Total Return Index, the majority of the Fund’s underperformance during the period can be attributed to the overweight allocation to and security selection within the health care sector and to security selection within the information technology sector.

Relative to the Russell 2000® Index, the majority of the Fund’s underperformance during the period can be attributed to the overweight allocation to and security selection within the health care sector.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2023, the information technology sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the industrials and energy sectors, respectively. The materials sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during the period, followed by the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2023, included ImmunoGen, Inc., a health care company (portfolio average

QQQJ    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF (QQQJ)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the NASDAQ Next Generation 100 Index® (the “Index”). The Fund generally will invest at least 90% of its total assets in the securities that comprise the Index.

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Nasdaq, Inc. (“Nasdaq” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is comprised of securities of the next generation of Nasdaq-listed non-financial companies; that is, the largest 100 Nasdaq-listed companies outside of the NASDAQ-100 Index® (the “NASDAQ-100”) based on market capitalization.

To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a security must meet the existing eligibility criteria of the NASDAQ-100, an index that measures the performance of 100 of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial companies by market capitalization on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Securities meeting the NASDAQ-100 eligibility criteria are ranked by market capitalization, with approximately the largest 100 securities not currently in the NASDAQ-100 selected for inclusion in the Index.

Security types generally eligible for inclusion in the Index are common stocks and tracking stocks, as well as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) that represent securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Index may include companies from all major sectors, except for companies that are classified as “financials” according to the Industry Classification Benchmark. The Index may include Nasdaq-listed securities of both U.S. and foreign companies, including foreign companies located in emerging market countries. Companies organized as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are not eligible for inclusion in the Index.

The Index weights its component securities using a “modified market capitalization-weighted” methodology, which is a hybrid between equal weighting and conventional capitalization weighting. Under this methodology, no issuer may exceed 4% of the weight of the Index. 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 6.57%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 6.70%. During the same time period, the Index returned 6.83%. 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 Nasdaq Composite® Total Return Index returned 19.85% and the Russell 3000® Index returned 14.76% (each, a “Benchmark Index” and, collectively the “Benchmark Indices”). The Benchmark Indices are unmanaged

indices weighted by market capitalization and based on the average performance of approximately 3,400 securities and 3,000 securities, respectively. These Benchmark Indices were selected for their recognition in the marketplace, and their performance comparisons are a useful measure for investors as broad representations of the overall U.S. stock market.

Relative to the Nasdaq Composite® Total Return Index, the majority of the Fund’s underperformance during the period can be attributed to security selection within the information technology and communication services sectors, respectively.

Relative to the Russell 3000® Index, the majority of the Fund’s underperformance during the period can be attributed to security selection within the information technology and communication services sectors, respectively.

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

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, included Horizon Therapeutics PLC, a health care company (portfolio average weight of 1.68%) and ON Semiconductor Corp., an information technology company (no longer held at fiscal year-end). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during the period included ZoomInfo Technologies, Inc., Class A, a communication services company (portfolio average weight of 0.89%) and SolarEdge Technologies, Inc., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 1.17%).

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.

Invesco Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

August 31, 2023

NOTE 1–Organization

Invesco Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business 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 ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQMG)    “ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF”
Invesco ESG NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF (QQJG)    “ESG NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF”
Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM)    “NASDAQ 100 ETF”
Invesco NASDAQ Future Gen 200 ETF (QQQS)    “NASDAQ Future Gen 200 ETF”
Invesco NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF (QQQJ)    “NASDAQ Next Gen 100 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.” Each Fund’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

 

   42   

 

 

 

 


 

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. 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

 

   43   

 

 

 

 


 

 

withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.

C.

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 - Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records such dividends on the ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on the ex-dividend date. 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-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 the Funds, including the costs 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).

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 Board member who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or the Adviser (each, an “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.

Foreign Currency Translations - Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. Each Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on

 

   45   

 

 

 

 


 

 

investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statements of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period-end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Each Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which a Fund invests.

K.

Other Risks

ADR Risk. The Funds may invest in American depositary receipts (“ADRs”). ADRs are certificates that evidence ownership of shares of a foreign issuer and are alternatives to purchasing the underlying foreign securities directly in their national markets and currencies. ADRs may be subject to certain of the risks associated with direct investments in the securities of foreign companies, such as currency, political, economic and market risks, because their values depend on the performance of the non-dollar denominated underlying foreign securities. Moreover, ADRs may not track the price of the underlying foreign securities on which they are based, and their value may change materially at times when U.S. markets are not open for trading.

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.

ESG Risk. Because the underlying indexes of ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF and ESG NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF evaluate ESG factors to assess and exclude certain investments for non-financial reasons, such Funds may forego some market opportunities available to funds that do not use these factors. The securities of companies that score favorably under a Fund’s ESG scoring methodology may underperform similar companies that do not score as well or may underperform the stock market as a whole. As a result, ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF and ESG NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF may underperform funds that do not screen or score companies based on ESG factors or funds that use a different ESG methodology. Information used by a Fund’s underlying index to evaluate such factors may not be readily available, complete or accurate, which could negatively impact the index’s ability to apply its methodology, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund’s performance. In addition, the assessment of an issuer, based on the issuer’s level of involvement in a particular industry or the issuer’s ESG score, may differ from that of other funds or an investor. As a result, the issuers deemed eligible for inclusion in a Fund’s portfolio may not reflect the beliefs or values of any particular investor and may not be deemed to exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics if different metrics were used to evaluate them.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. Foreign securities may have relatively low market liquidity, greater market volatility, decreased publicly available information and less reliable financial information about issuers and inconsistent and potentially less stringent accounting, auditing and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice, including recordkeeping standards, comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Foreign securities are also subject to the risks of expropriation,

 

   46   

 

 

 

 


 

 

nationalization, political instability or other adverse political or economic developments and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries. Investments in foreign securities also may be subject to dividend withholding or confiscatory taxes, currency blockage and/or transfer restrictions and higher transactional costs. If a Fund invests in securities denominated in foreign currencies, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of other currencies may adversely affect investments in foreign securities and may negatively impact the Fund’s returns. From time to time, certain companies in which the Funds invest may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. Government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. Government identified as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively affect the company’s performance. Additionally, one or more of these companies could suffer damage to its reputation if the market identifies it as a company that invests or deals with countries that the U.S. Government identifies as state sponsors of terrorism or subjects to sanctions.

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.

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.

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.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Because each Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than can a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on a Fund’s performance.

NOTE 3–Investment Advisory Agreement 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 the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ 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

 

   47   

 

 

 

 


 

 

election of an Interested Trustee, 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)
ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF    0.20%
ESG NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF    0.20%
NASDAQ 100 ETF    0.15%
NASDAQ Future Gen 200 ETF    0.20%
NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF    0.15%

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.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Adviser waived fees for each Fund in the following amounts:

 

ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF    $ 6  
ESG NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF      1  
NASDAQ 100 ETF      1,711  
NASDAQ Future Gen 200 ETF*      2  
NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF      258  

* For the period October 11, 2022 (commencement of investment operations) through August 31, 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.

The Adviser has entered into licensing agreements on behalf of each Fund with Nasdaq, Inc. (the, “Licensor”).

Each Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the 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 Licensor, and the Licensor makes 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:

 

ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF    $ 23  
ESG NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF      242  
NASDAQ 100 ETF      4,567  
NASDAQ Future Gen 200 ETF*      15,148  
NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF      66,799  

 

*

For the period October 11, 2022 (commencement of investment operations) through August 31, 2023.

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.

 

   48   

 

 

 

 


 

 

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. 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. 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 the 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.

NOTE 10—Subsequent Event

On December 16, 2023, NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF changed its classification from “non-diversified” to “diversified” and therefore is now required to meet certain diversification requirements under the 1940 Act.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of each of the funds listed in the table below (five of the funds constituting Invesco Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2023, the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the table below, 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 and the changes in each of their net assets for each of the periods indicated in the table below, 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, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 Fund Trust II, 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.

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.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts–(continued)

 

Investment Advisory Agreement

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the fees paid by the Funds 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 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 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 and their underlying indexes for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-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 and correlation 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 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 for each Fund, other than the one-year and since-inception periods for Invesco VRDO Tax-Free ETF, was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement. The Trustees reviewed the reasons provided by the Adviser for Invesco VRDO Tax-Free ETF’s correlation to its underlying index. The Trustees noted that, for each applicable period, the tracking error for all Funds 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, and its oversight of the Sub-Advisers for Invesco Senior Loan ETF and Invesco Treasury Collateral ETF. 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 Funds 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 each Fund’s net expense ratio and unitary advisory fee. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund, as set forth below, is a unitary advisory fee and that the Adviser compensates the Sub-Advisers (as applicable) from its unitary advisory fee and pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including, for Invesco Senior Loan ETF, interest expenses associated with any draws on its line of credit), acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses, costs incurred in connection with proxies (except certain proxies) and other extraordinary expenses:

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts–(continued)

 

The Trustees compared each Fund’s net expense ratio to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) 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 Trustees noted that a portion of each Fund’s operating expenses was attributable to a sub-license fee payable out of the unitary advisory fee charged to that Fund.

ETF’s, Invesco Taxable Municipal Bond ETF’s and Invesco VRDO Tax-Free ETF’s advisory fees and total expenses and the Lipper peer data. The Adviser explained its view that the advisory fees and total expenses for these Funds are competitive and generally in line with other comparable funds in the marketplace, particularly in light of the level and nature of services provided and the investment management style of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s statements regarding its pricing philosophy and the differing pricing philosophy of certain of the peers.

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 certain of the Funds. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s explanation of the differences between the services 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 each Fund’s unitary advisory fee was 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 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. 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 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 also 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., an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as each Fund’s distributor and is paid a distribution fee 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. For Invesco PureBetaSM FTSE Developed ex-North America ETF, Invesco PureBetaSM FTSE Emerging Markets ETF, Invesco PureBetaSM MSCI USA Small Cap ETF and Invesco PureBetaSM US Aggregate Bond ETF, the Board noted that it had previously approved the liquidation and termination of each Fund effective on or about June 30, 2023 and considered that the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for such Funds would facilitate the orderly liquidation of the Funds.

Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement

As noted above, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for each of Invesco Senior Loan ETF and Invesco Treasury Collateral ETF at a meeting held on April 18,

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts–(continued)

 

2023. The review process followed by the Board is described in detail above. In connection with the review of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the factors described below, among others.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided or to be provided to Invesco Senior Loan ETF and Invesco Treasury Collateral ETF under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the qualifications and background of each Sub-Adviser, the services provided or to be provided by each Sub-Adviser, the investment approach of the Sub-Adviser whose investment personnel manage Invesco Senior Loan ETF’s and Invesco Treasury Collateral ETF’s assets, and the experience and skills of the investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided or to be provided by the Sub-Advisers to Invesco Senior Loan ETF and Invesco Treasury Collateral ETF under the Sub-Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers on the sub-advisory fee rate under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the sub-advisory fee charged by the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is consistent with the compensation structure used throughout Invesco when Invesco’s affiliates provide sub-advisory services for funds managed by other Invesco affiliates. The Trustees considered how the sub-advisory fees relate to the overall advisory fee for each of Invesco Senior Loan ETF and Invesco Treasury Collateral ETF and noted that the Adviser compensates the Sub-Advisers from its fee.

The Trustees also reviewed the financial statements provided by Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., in connection with the March 24 and April 18, 2023 Board meetings, and Invesco Advisers, Inc., in connection with the April 18, 2023 meeting, and noted the net income generated by each firm. The Trustees noted that the Adviser compensates the Sub-Advisers from its fee and that the Adviser provided profitability information with respect to Invesco Senior Loan ETF and Invesco Treasury Collateral ETF.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. As part of their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement for Invesco Senior Loan ETF and Invesco Treasury Collateral ETF, the Trustees considered 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 Board considered whether the sub-advisory fee rate for Invesco Senior Loan ETF and Invesco Treasury Collateral ETF was reasonable in relation to the asset size of the Funds and concluded that the flat sub-advisory fee rate was reasonable and appropriate.

Fall-out Benefits. The Trustees noted that Invesco Advisers, Inc. receives management fees from affiliated money market funds into which the Funds’ and other Invesco ETFs’ excess cash and securities lending collateral may be invested, and that the Adviser waives its fees with respect to each Fund in an amount equal to the fees received by Invesco Advisers, Inc. on the Fund’s excess cash invested in the affiliated money market funds. The Trustees also noted the fees received by Invesco Advisers, Inc. in its capacity as securities lending agent for the Invesco ETFs. The Trustees noted that the Sub-Advisers had not identified any further benefits that they received from their relationships with Invesco Senior Loan ETF and Invesco Treasury Collateral ETF, and that the Sub-Advisers generally do not use or generate soft-dollars with respect to the Funds. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee with respect to each Fund was reasonable, taking into account any ancillary benefits received by the Sub-Advisers.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for Invesco Senior Loan ETF and Invesco Treasury Collateral ETF. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.
