Invesco BLDRS Index Funds Trust
September 30, 2022
NOTE 1–Organization
Invesco BLDRS Index Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is a unit investment trust consisting of one investment portfolio, Invesco BLDRS Emerging Markets 50 ADR Index Fund (the “Fund”), organized under the laws of the State of New York and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
The shares of the Fund are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” The Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market.
The market price of each Share may differ to some degree from the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, the 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-kind for securities included in the S&P Emerging 50 ADR Index (USD) (the “Underlying Index”).
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the investment results, before fees and expenses, of publicly traded depositary receipts representing securities of issuers in emerging markets represented by the Underlying Index.
The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee”) has entered into an Agency Agreement with Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Sponsor”) (the “Agency Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agency Agreement, the Sponsor will perform certain functions on behalf of the Trustee: (a) relating to the evaluation of the portfolio securities held by the Fund for the purposes of determining the NAV of the Fund, and (b) relating to rebalancing and adjustments of the Fund’s portfolio.
NOTE 2–Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements.
The 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: |
Portfolio securities are valued at the last trade or official closing price of the exchange on which they trade, which is deemed to be the principal market on which the securities are traded, or if there is no last trade or official closing price on the day of valuation, a security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. If a security is not quoted, if the principal market of the security is other than an exchange, or the Sponsor deems the last trade, official close price or closing bid price inappropriate for valuation purposes, then the security shall be fair valued in good faith by the Sponsor, in a manner consistent with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act and pursuant to the Trust Indenture and Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) and the Agency Agreement based (a) on the last trade or closing price for the security on another market on which the security is traded or if there is no such appropriate closing price, at the closing bid price on such other market, (b) on current bid prices on the principal market or such other markets, (c) if bid prices are not available, on the basis of current bid prices for comparable securities, (d) by the Sponsor appraising the value of the securities in good faith, or (e) any combination thereof. In the event that the Agency Agreement is terminated, the Trustee would be responsible for the valuation steps set forth above in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement.
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 the accrual basis from settlement date. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by the 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 Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to the Fund’s investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement 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 Statement of Operations and the Statement 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 the Fund’s NAV and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income
10 | ||||
|
| |||
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 the Fund and the Sponsor.
C. |
Country Determination - For the purposes of presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the Sponsor may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include whether the 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 and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, 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 - The Fund declares and distributes dividends, if any, from net investment income quarterly. The Fund will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. |
E. |
Federal Income Taxes - The 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 Fund 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. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 Fund files U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the 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 - Under the Trust Agreement, the Fund is responsible for the Trustee’s fee (including fees for extraordinary expenses and other services), transfer agency services fees, governmental fees, any taxes, fees and charges payable by the Trustee with respect to Shares, expenses and costs of any action taken by the Trustee or the Sponsor to protect the Fund and the rights and interests of beneficial owners of Shares, indemnification of the Trustee or the Sponsor, expenses incurred in contacting beneficial owners of Shares, brokerage commissions and other transactional charges and other out-of-pocket expenses of the Fund. |
In addition, the Fund may be charged for expenses related to reimbursement to the Sponsor for annual licensing fees, federal and state annual registration fees and expenses of the Sponsor relating to the printing and distribution of marketing materials. Pursuant to the provisions of an exemptive order, the expenses set forth in this paragraph may be charged to the Fund in an amount equal to the actual costs incurred, but shall not exceed 0.30% per annum of the daily NAV of the Fund.
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 Fund monitors 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 - In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. |
Other Risks |
COVID-19 Risk. The COVID-19 strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability, and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s performance.
Emerging Markets Risk. The risks of foreign investments are usually much greater for emerging markets. Investments in emerging markets may be volatile and considered speculative. Emerging markets include those countries defined as “emerging” or “developing” by the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation or the United Nations. Emerging markets are riskier because they develop unevenly and may never fully develop. They are more likely to experience
11 | ||||
|
| |||
hyperinflation and currency devaluations, currency restrictions, capital controls, and capital seizures, which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors. Emerging markets securities may have decreased publicly available and less reliable information about issuers, and inconsistent and potentially less stringent regulatory, disclosure, recordkeeping, accounting, auditing and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Emerging markets usually are subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertainty regarding the existence of trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than are more developed markets. Securities law in many emerging markets is relatively new and unsettled. Therefore, laws regarding foreign investment in emerging market securities, securities regulation, title to securities, and shareholder rights may change quickly and unpredictably. The ability to bring and enforce actions in emerging market countries may be limited, and shareholder claims may be difficult or impossible to pursue. In addition, the securities markets in many of these countries have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets, and may be subject to unexpected market closures. Because these markets are so small, they may be more likely to suffer sharp and frequent price changes or long term price depression due to adverse publicity, investor perceptions or the transactions of a few large investors. Traditional measures of investment value used in the United States, such as price to earnings ratios, may not apply to certain small markets, making it more difficult to value their securities. From time to time, the United States or other countries may impose sanctions on various persons, issuers, or countries, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund’s investments and make them illiquid. Investments in emerging markets securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information. In addition, lack of relevant data and reliable public information, including financial information, about securities in emerging markets may contribute to incorrect weightings and data and computational errors when the Underlying Index’s index provider selects securities for inclusion in the Underlying Index or rebalances the Underlying Index.
Equity Risk. An investment in the Fund should be made with an understanding of the risks inherent in an investment in equity securities, including the risk that the financial condition of issuers may become impaired or that the general condition of the stock market may deteriorate (either of which may cause a decrease in the value of the securities held by the Fund and thus in the value of Shares). Equity securities, and therefore depositary receipts, are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. These investor perceptions are based on various unpredictable factors including: expectations regarding government; economic, monetary and fiscal policies; inflation and interest rates; economic expansion or contraction; and global or regional political, economic and banking crises.
Foreign Market Risk. The underlying securities of the depositary receipts in the Fund’s portfolio trade on foreign exchanges at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading, the value of the depositary receipts representing those underlying securities may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading, regardless of whether there is an active U.S. market for fund shares.
Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess of its Underlying Index. Therefore, the 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.
Non-Correlation Risk. The Fund’s return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its 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 Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs or liquidity constraints.
Non-Diversified Fund Risk. The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer’s securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of the Shares than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.
NOTE 3–Agreements with the Trustee, Licensor and Sponsor
The Fund accrues daily and pays monthly the expenses of their operations, including Trustee fees, reimbursements to the Sponsor for expenses relating to the marketing of the Fund and fees to S&P Opco, LLC (the “Licensor”) for a license to use the Underlying Index as a basis for determining the composition and weighting of securities held by the Fund. Effective January 1, 2022, the Sponsor pays an annual licensing fee to the Licensor equal to 0.0475% of the average net assets of the Fund, and is reimbursed by the Fund for such payment. Prior to January 1, 2022, the Fund paid an annual licensing fee to the Licensor equal to 6/100th of one percent (0.06%) of its average net assets subject to the waiver provisions discussed below.
In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trustee maintains the Fund’s accounting records, acts as custodian and transfer agent to the Fund, and provides administrative services, including filing of all required regulatory reports. The Trustee is also responsible for determining the composition of the portfolios of securities, which must be delivered in exchange for the issuance
12 | ||||
|
| |||
of Creation Units of the Fund, and for adjusting the composition of the Fund’s portfolio from time to time to conform to changes in the compositions and/or weighting structure of the Underlying Index.
For these services, the Trustee receives a fee at the following annual rates:
Net Assets |
Fee as Percentage of Net Assets | |
$0-$499,999,999* | 0.10% per annum | |
$500,000,000-$2,499,999,999* | 0.08% per annum | |
$2,500,000,000 and above* | 0.06% per annum |
* |
The fee indicated applies to that portion of the net assets of the Fund that falls in the size category indicated and is computed each business day on the basis of the net assets of the Fund on such day. |
Marketing expenses for the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, represent expenses incurred by the Sponsor, if any, on behalf of the Fund and charged to the Fund, subject to the reimbursement provisions below. Marketing expenses are paid by the Sponsor on behalf of the Fund for invoices received directly by the Sponsor during the year.
In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and the Agency Agreement, the Trustee will pay, from its own assets, the Sponsor to perform the following services for the Fund: adjust the composition of the portfolio, calculate and adjust, if necessary, the weighting of each security in the portfolio, dispose of or exchange securities after it has been determined that such securities will be removed from the Underlying Index and direct securities transactions to brokers or dealers, which may include affiliates of the Trustee, but will not include affiliates of the Sponsor.
The Sponsor had undertaken that on each day during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, and until determined otherwise, the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund as calculated by the Trustee would not be permitted to exceed an amount which is 30/100 of one percent (0.30%) per annum of the daily NAV of the Fund. Prior to January 1, 2022, to the extent during such period that ordinary operating expenses of the Fund exceeded such 0.30% amount, the Licensor first waived licensing fees applicable to the Fund and, if such waiver was insufficient, the Sponsor thereafter reimbursed the Fund for or assumed such excess ordinary operating expenses. The Licensor and Sponsor may be repaid by the Fund for licensing fees so waived prior to January 1, 2022 or expenses so reimbursed or assumed, respectively, in each case to the extent that subsequently during the fiscal year expenses fall below the 0.30% per annum level on any given day.
Invesco Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Sponsor, is the distributor for the Fund. The Sponsor, not the Fund, pays the Distributor a flat annual fee of $20,000 for the Fund for its distribution services and the Fund does not reimburse the Sponsor for such fees.
NOTE 4–Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 - | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. | |
Level 2 - | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. | |
Level 3 - | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect a fund’s own 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. |
As of September 30, 2022, all of the securities in the Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of
Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 5–Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020:
September 30, 2022 | September 30, 2021 | September 30, 2020 | ||||
Ordinary income* | $6,766,608 | $2,490,710 | $1,767,460 |
* |
Includes short-term capital gain distributions, if any. |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Fiscal Year-End:
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 1,288,480 | ||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – investments | (29,858,751 | ) | ||
Temporary book/tax differences | (1,876,629 | ) | ||
Capital loss carryforward | (115,457,535 | ) | ||
Post-October capital losses deferrals* | (24,990,067 | ) | ||
Shares of beneficial interest | 288,579,369 | |||
|
|
|||
Total net assets | $ | 117,684,867 | ||
|
|
* |
The Funds will elect to defer net capital losses incurred after October 31 (“Post-October Capital Losses”) within the taxable year that are deemed to arise on the first business day of each Fund’s next taxable year. |
Capital loss carryforwards are calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforwards actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The following table presents available capital loss carryforwards for the Fund as of September 30, 2022:
No expiration | ||||||||||||
Short-Term | Long-Term | Total* | ||||||||||
$ | 12,901,192 | $ | 102,556,343 | $ | 115,457,535 |
* |
Capital loss carryforwards are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 6–Investment Transactions
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the aggregate cost of securities purchased and proceeds from sales of securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations, money market funds and in-kind transactions, if any) were $42,121,129 and $42,112,234, respectively.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, in-kind transactions associated with creations and redemptions were $4,655,707 and $27,657,230, respectively.
Gains (losses) on in-kind transactions are generally not considered taxable gains (losses) for federal income tax purposes.
At September 30, 2022, the aggregate cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end:
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | $ | 8,757,948 | ||
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | (38,616,699 | ) | ||
|
|
|||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | (29,858,751 | ) | |
|
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $146,973,136.
NOTE 7–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of in-kind transactions, return of capital distributions received and expired capital loss carryforwards on September 30, 2022, amounts were reclassified between undistributed net investment income, undistributed net realized gain (loss) and Shares of beneficial interest. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets of the Fund. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the reclassifications were as follows:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | $ | 536,898 | ||
Undistributed Net Realized Gain (Loss) | (6,233,513 | ) | ||
Shares of Beneficial Interest | 5,696,615 |
14 | ||||
|
| |||
NOTE 8–Capital
Shares are issued and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares. Such transactions are only permitted on an in-kind basis, with a separate cash payment that is equivalent to the undistributed net investment income of the shares and a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV of the shares on the transaction date. The transaction fee in connection with creation or redemption of Creation Units through the continuous net settlement system of National Securities Clearing Corporation (the “Clearing Process”) is $10 per security “name” in the portfolio deposit or redemption payment, rounded up to the nearest $500 per participating party per day, regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased or redeemed on such day by the participating party. The total fee that can be charged in connection with the creation or redemption of Creation Units outside the Clearing Process is four times the normal transaction cost of $500 ($2,000) per participating party per day.
Transaction fees are received by the Trustee and used to offset its expenses of processing orders. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Trustee earned $6,500, $12,000, and $14,000, respectively, in transaction fees.
The Trustee, in its sole discretion, may voluntarily reduce or waive its fee, or modify the transaction fee schedule, subject to certain limitations. There were no such reductions or waivers for the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 or 2020.

I. Information Regarding Closing Prices vs. NAV Frequency Distribution for Invesco BLDRS Emerging Markets 50 ADR Index Fund
The tables that follow present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for one share of the Fund and the Fund’s net asset value. NAV is the price at which the Fund issues and redeems shares. The “Closing Market Price” of a share in the Fund is determined and published by The NASDAQ Stock Market (the “Exchange”), as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. The Fund’s Closing Market Price may be below, at, or above its NAV. The NAV will fluctuate with changes in the market value of its portfolio holdings.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Closing Market Price of the Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that the Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that the Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
The following information shows the frequency distributions of premiums and discounts for the Fund for the period October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2022.
Each line in the table shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future performance.

Supplemental Information–(continued)
(Unaudited)
Closing Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at market closing price and NAV, respectively. Since Fund shares typically do not trade in the secondary market until after several days after Fund inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in fund shares, the NAV is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate closing market returns.
Unlike the Fund, the Underlying Index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. Fund expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund shares. Fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.
