The Market Environment

 

 

 

Domestic Equity

The fiscal year began with increasing volatility and the US stock market saw a selloff through most of September due to increasing concerns of inflation resulting from a spike in oil prices and supply chain shortages causing rising costs. Despite the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increasing monthly from June through September 2021,1 the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) declined to raise interest rates at its September 2021 Federal Open Market Committee meeting.

Equity markets saw continued volatility in the fourth quarter of 2021 amid record inflation and the emergence of a new COVID-19 variant. Pandemic-related supply chain disruption and labor shortages intensified during the quarter, resulting in broadly higher input costs for companies and consumers alike. Additionally, the price of oil rose to nearly $85 per barrel in October,2 causing higher gas prices for consumers, and pushing energy stocks higher. The CPI reported for November increased 0.8%, resulting in a 6.8% increase over the prior 12 months, the highest since 1982.1 To combat inflation, the Fed announced a faster pace of “tapering” at its December meeting, pledging to end its asset purchase program by March 2022. The Fed also announced the potential for three interest rate increases in 2022. With solid corporate earnings and optimism about the COVID-19 Omicron variant reporting milder symptoms, stocks rallied at the 2021 year-end.

Equity markets declined in the first quarter of 2022 amid volatility sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, rising commodity prices, rampant global inflation and the Fed’s shift toward tighter monetary policy. Russia’s invasion exacerbated inflationary pressures, disrupting already strained supply chains and increasing shortages of oil, gas and raw materials. The price of oil rose sharply, with crude prices reaching their highest price per barrel since 2008.2 The CPI rose by another 7.9% for the 12 months ended February 2022 reaching a 40 year high.1 To combat inflation, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by a one-quarter percentage point in March.

As the war in Ukraine continued and corporate earnings in high-profile names, like Netflix, reported slowing growth and profits, the equity markets sold off for much of April 2022. The downward direction of the equity markets continued for much of the second quarter of 2022 amid record inflation, rising interest rates and an increasing likelihood of a US recession. Driven by higher food and energy prices, the CPI rose by yet another 8.6% for the 12 months ended May 2022 reaching a 40 year high.1 Oil prices peaked near $122 per barrel in early June, resulting in skyrocketing gasoline prices; the national average price reached a record high above $5 per gallon in early June.2 To tame inflation, the Fed raised the benchmark federal funds rate three more times, by 0.50% in May, by 0.75% in June and another 0.75% in July, which were the largest increases in nearly 30 years.3 US

equity markets rose in July and much of August until Fed chairman Jerome Powell’s hawkish comments at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, an economic policy symposium, sparked a sharp selloff at month end. Due to declining energy prices, the CPI rose by 8.5% for the 12 months ending July,1 down slightly from June, but still at multi-decade highs and far above the Fed’s 2% annual inflation target. As a result, the Fed indicated that it would continue taking aggressive action to curb inflation, though such measures could “bring pain to households and businesses.” The remarks deflated investor optimism that the Fed would pause rate hikes in the second half of 2022 and increased the likelihood of a US recession. In this environment, US stocks had negative double-digit returns of (11.23)% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, measured by the S&P 500 Index.4

RSPE    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco ESG S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSPE)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco ESG S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the S&P 500® Equal Weight ESG Leaders Select 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, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P DJI” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the equal weighted performance of securities included in the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index (the “Parent Index”) that also meet the Index Provider’s environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria, while maintaining similar overall industry group weights as the Parent Index.

The Parent Index consists of all of the components of the S&P 500® Index. However, unlike that index, which employs a market capitalization weighted methodology, the Parent Index assigns each component security the same weight. Like the Parent Index, constituents of the Index are equally weighted. Companies that are included in the Parent Index are evaluated for inclusion in the Index based on multiple considerations.

Each constituent is assigned an “S&P DJI ESG score,” which is designed to measure a company’s financially material ESG factors. The analysis of whether a factor is financially material focuses on industry-specific business value drivers that contribute to company performance, utilizing quantitative and qualitative research and industry experience. The analysis incorporates historical correlation data and current industry conditions to identify which long-term economic, social or environmental factors are likely to have the most significant impact on a company’s business value drivers of growth, cost or risk, and ultimately, future financial performance. S&P DJI ESG scores are based on the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (“CSA”), which is a questionnaire-based survey conducted annually that seeks to identify how well-equipped a company is to recognize and respond to emerging sustainability opportunities and challenges in the global market. S&P Global, an affiliate of the Index Provider, issues a CSA request each March to subject companies. The CSA uses custom industries, derived from Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS®”), to analyze companies using industry-specific questionnaires. Companies provide up to 1,000 data points in response to the questionnaires which are used to score each company’s performance in relation to each specific ESG subject. If a company chooses not to actively participate in the assessment, it may be assessed based on publicly available information, including a company’s financial reports, press releases and other public statements, and other information available on the company’s website. Companies are ranked from highest to lowest according to their S&P DJI ESG scores, and the top 40% of constituents within each GICS® industry group generally are included in the Index.

In addition, the Index employs negative screens to exclude securities of companies with business activities that do not meet the eligibility criteria for the Index, regardless of a company’s S&P DJI ESG score. Companies classified as part of the GICS® Oil & Gas Storage & Transportation Sub-Industry Code are excluded from the eligible universe. Additional screens rely on information from Sustainalytics, a globally-recognized independent provider of ESG research, ratings, and data. The Index uses this information to screen for companies with certain business activities above the S&P DJI Level of Involvement Threshold or the S&P DJI Significant Ownership Threshold. These thresholds generally exclude from the Index companies that derive 0-25% or more of its revenues from, or that own 10% or more of another company that engages in, the following activities: Arctic oil & gas exploration; alcoholic beverages; assault weapons; cannabis production or distribution; controversial weapons; genetically modified plants and seeds; gambling; military contracting; nuclear power; oil and gas exploration, production, generation, refinement, transportation or storage; oil sands extraction; palm oil production and distribution; pesticides; riot control weapons; shale energy extraction; small arms; thermal coal; and tobacco.

The Index Provider also utilizes information from Arabesque S-RayTM to exclude poor performers in relation to the principles of the United Nations Global Compact (“UNGC”). The UNGC is an arrangement by which companies voluntarily and publicly commit to a set of principles drawn from key United Nations (“UN”) Conventions and Declarations. The principles of the UNGC represent a set of values that the UN believes responsible businesses should incorporate into their operations in order to meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption. Arabesque S-RayTM is a global sustainability data provider that combines company-reported information and other data to analyze and score companies based on UNGC principles. Companies are ranked according to these Global Compact (“GC”) scores, and all companies with scores at or below the bottom 5% of the GC score universe are excluded from the Index.

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (November 17, 2021, the first day of trading on the exchange) through August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (13.57)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (13.61)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (13.46)%. 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 expenses that the Fund incurred during the period, partially offset by income received from the securities lending program in which the Fund participates.

During this same time period, the S&P 500® Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned (14.62)%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on

Invesco ESG S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSPE) (continued)

 

the average performance of approximately 500 equity securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a broad representation of the U.S. equity market.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index in part because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs ESG stock selection criteria and an equal weighted methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index weights stocks based primarily on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the industrials sector and most underweight in the information technology sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2022. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund’s underweight allocation to and the security selection within the communication services sector and the Fund’s overweight allocation to and security selection within the materials sector.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2022, the consumer staples sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the utilities sector. The consumer discretionary sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s performance during this period, followed by the information technology and financials sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2022, included CF Industries Holdings, Inc., a materials company (portfolio average weight of 0.63%), and Mosaic Co., a materials company (portfolio average weight of 0.59%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included PVH Corp., a consumer discretionary company (portfolio average weight of 0.51%) and Stanley, Black & Decker, Inc., an industrials company (portfolio average weight of 0.50%).

Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and shares of the Fund (“Fund Shares”), when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently, returns would have been lower. See the current prospectus for more information.

According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.20% is expressed as a unitary management fee to cover operating expenses and expenses incurred in connection with managing the portfolio. NAV and Market Price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and Market Price, respectively. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund Shares. See invesco.com/ETFs to find the most recent month-end performance numbers.

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

USEQ    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco Russell 1000 Enhanced Equal Weight ETF (USEQ)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco Russell 1000 Enhanced Equal Weight ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Russell 1000® Enhanced Value Equal Weight 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, FTSE Russell (“Russell” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is comprised of securities in the Russell 1000® Index (the “Russell 1000” or “Benchmark Index”) that exhibit upward price momentum and good relative valuation. The Index is a subset of the Russell 1000, which is designed to measure the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity market and consists of the stocks of the largest 1,000 U.S. companies by market capitalization.

The Index Provider selects constituent securities for the Index by applying a three-step screening process (based on a security’s earnings, valuation and momentum) to all securities in the Russell 1000. First, the Index Provider excludes securities with zero or negative earnings over the past 12 months. Second, the Index Provider screens for value stocks. Those securities with value scores in the bottom 10% are excluded. Third, the Index Provider screens for securities with greater positive price “momentum.” Stocks are ranked from highest to lowest by momentum measure over the last twelve months, excluding the most recent month, within each of 11 industries (as defined using the Industry Classification Benchmark) and stocks with momentum measures ranking in the bottom 10% of each industry are excluded. The remaining securities are included in the Index. Constituent securities in the Index are equally weighted. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (9.44)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (9.47)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (9.16)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period.

During this same time period, the Benchmark Index returned (12.96)%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 1,000 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a broad representation of the large-cap segment of the overall U.S. stock market.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index in part because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs an equal weighted methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index weights stocks based on market capitalization. Further, the Index is a subset of the Benchmark Index, consisting of securities within the Benchmark Index that exhibit low beta characteristics.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the industrials sector and most underweight in the information technology sector during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during the year can be primarily attributed to the underweight allocation to and security selection in the communication services and information technology sectors.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the energy sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the utilities and consumer staples sectors, respectively. The consumer discretionary sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the industrials and health care sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 included CF Industries Holdings, Inc., a materials company (portfolio average weight of 0.20%) and ConocoPhillips, an energy company (portfolio average weight of 0.18%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included Wayfair, Inc., Class A, a consumer discretionary company (no longer held at fiscal year-end), and DISH Network Corp., Class A, a communication services company (portfolio average weight of 0.13%).

EQAL    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco Russell 1000 Equal Weight ETF (EQAL)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco Russell 1000 Equal Weight ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Russell 1000® Equal Weight 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, FTSE Russell (“Russell” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index which is designed to measure the performance of approximately 1,000 equally-weighted securities. The Index is comprised of all of the securities in the Russell 1000® Index (the “Russell 1000” or “Benchmark Index”), which is designed to measure the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity market and consists of the stocks of the largest 1,000 U.S. companies by market capitalization. The Index is constructed by applying a three-step process. First, the Index Provider assigns each component security of the Russell 1000 to an industry based on the Industry Classification Benchmark (the “ICB”) classification system. The ICB classification system is composed of 11 economic industries: basic materials, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, real estate, technology, telecommunications and utilities. Second, once the component securities are assigned to an industry, the Index Provider allocates an equal weight to each industry and then assigns an equal weight to each constituent security within each industry. Third, the Index Provider then applies a “capacity screen” to the Index to eliminate securities of companies with limited “free float” (i.e., companies with a limited amount of shares publicly available in the market). The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (8.86)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (8.96)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (8.89)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period, which were partially offset by revenue generated from the securities lending program in which the Fund participates.

During this same time period, the Benchmark Index returned (12.96)%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 1,000 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a broad representation of the large-cap segment of the overall U.S. stock market.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index in part because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs an

equal weighted methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index weights stocks based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the materials sector and most underweight in the information technology sector during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during the year can be attributed to the Fund’s overweight allocation to the energy and materials sectors.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the energy sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the utilities sector.

Performance quoted above represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and shares of the Fund (“Fund Shares”), when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See the current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.20% is expressed as a unitary management fee to cover operating expenses and expenses incurred in connection with managing the portfolio. NAV and Market Price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and Market Price, respectively. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund

distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund Shares. See invesco.com/ETFs to find the most recent month-end performance numbers.

Performance results for the indexes stated above are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. The returns of an index do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The indexes do not charge management fees or brokerage expenses, and no such fees or expenses were deducted from the hypothetical performance shown.

USLB    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco Russell 1000 Low Beta Equal Weight ETF (USLB)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco Russell 1000 Low Beta Equal Weight ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Russell 1000® Low Beta Equal Weight 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, FTSE Russell (“Russell” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index which is comprised of securities in the Russell 1000® Index (the “Russell 1000” or “Benchmark Index”) that exhibit low beta characteristics. The Index is a subset of the Russell 1000, which is designed to measure the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity market and consists of the stocks of the largest 1,000 U.S. companies by market capitalization.

The Index Provider selects constituent securities for the Index by calculating the beta score for each security in the Russell 1000. Beta is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity (i.e., volatility); it reflects the rate of change in a security’s price that results from overall market movements. To calculate the beta score, the Index Provider analyzes the security’s monthly returns over the past eighteen months to see the extent to which they correlate to overall market movements. Stocks with less than 18 months of history are not eligible for inclusion. Securities with a beta score of less than that of the overall U.S. equity market average (that is, securities whose price changes exhibit less volatility than the average amount of volatility in the market) are eligible for inclusion in the Index. The Index Provider then applies an earnings screen, which eliminates securities that have failed to generate earnings over the trailing 12 months. Constituent securities in the Index are equally weighted. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (7.60)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (7.73)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (7.49)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period, which were partially offset by revenue generated from the securities lending program in which the Fund participates.

During this same time period, the Benchmark Index returned (12.96)%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 1,000 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a broad representation of the large-cap segment of the overall U.S. stock market.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index in part because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs an equal weighted methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index weights stocks based on market capitalization. Further, the Index is a subset of the Benchmark Index, consisting of securities within the Benchmark Index that exhibit low beta characteristics.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the industrials and utilities sectors and most underweight in the information technology and communication services sectors during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during the period can be attributed to the Fund’s underweight allocation to and security selection in the communication services and information technology sectors as well as its security selection in the financials sector.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the energy sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the utilities and consumer staples sectors. The health care sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included Coterra Energy Inc., an energy company (portfolio average weight of 0.26%), and Arista Networks, Inc., an information technology company (no longer held at fiscal year-end). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included Zoom Video Communications, Inc., Class A, an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 0.16%), and Illumina, Inc., a health care company (no longer held at fiscal year-end).

SPVU    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco S&P 500® Enhanced Value ETF (SPVU)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco S&P 500® Enhanced Value ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the S&P 500® Enhanced Value 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, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P DJI” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of the top 100 stocks in the S&P 500® Index (the “Parent Index”) that have the highest “value score,” which the Index Provider calculates based on fundamental ratios of a company’s stock.

In selecting constituent securities for the Index, the Index Provider first calculates the value score of each stock in the Parent Index by evaluating each stock’s: (i) book value-to-price ratio, calculated using the company’s latest book value per share divided by its price; (ii) earnings-to-price ratio, calculated using the company’s trailing 12-month earnings per share divided by its price; and (iii) sales-to-price ratio, calculated using the company’s trailing 12-month sales per share divided by its price. The Index Provider then calculates the value score of each security based on a composite of those three factors and selects the top 100 stocks with the highest value score for inclusion in the Index. The Index uses a modified market capitalization-weighted strategy, weighting securities by multiplying their market capitalization and their value score. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (1.72)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (1.85)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (1.75)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period. During the same time period, the Parent Index returned (11.23)%.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the health care sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the energy and utilities sectors, respectively. The financials sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the communication services and information technology sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included Marathon Petroleum Corp., an energy company (portfolio average weight of 2.17%), and Ford Motor Co., a consumer discretionary company (portfolio average weight of 2.28%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included Citigroup, Inc., a financials company (portfolio average weight of 2.95%), and Bank

of America Corp., a financials company (portfolio average weight of 4.40%).

   Invesco S&P 500® ex-Rate Sensitive Low Volatility ETF (XRLV)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco S&P 500® ex-Rate Sensitive Low Volatility ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the S&P 500® Low Volatility Rate Response 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, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P DJI” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the volatility-driven weighted performance of the 100 constituents of the S&P 500® Index (the “Parent Index”) that exhibit the lowest volatility and low sensitivity to changes in the 10-year U.S. Treasury rates (interest rate risk). The Index selects stocks from the Parent Index that exhibit low volatility characteristics, after removing stocks that historically have performed poorly in rising interest rate environments. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down asset price fluctuations (increases or decreases in a stock’s price) over time. The Index Provider determines a stock’s interest rate sensitivity by performing a regression of the stock’s returns over a five-year period (60 monthly stock returns) to changes in the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate over that same period. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (1.90)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (2.04)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (1.79)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period. During the same time period, the Parent Index returned (11.23)%.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the utilities sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer staples sector. The industrials sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the health care and financials sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included Archer Daniels Midland Co., a consumer staples company (no longer held at fiscal year-end), and McKesson Corp., a health care company (portfolio average weight of 0.50%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included 3M Co., an industrials company (portfolio average weight of 0.98%), and Xylem Inc., an industrials company (no longer held at fiscal year-end).

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of approximately 100 constituents of the S&P 500® Index (the “Parent Index”) that have the highest sensitivity to market returns, or “beta,” over the past 12 months as determined by the Index Provider. Beta is a measure of relative risk and is the rate of change of a security’s price. The Index weights each constituent security in proportion to its beta, with the highest beta securities receiving the greatest weights in the Index. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (12.84)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (12.92)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (12.69)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period. During the same time period, the Parent Index returned (11.23)%.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the energy sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the materials and real estate sectors, respectively. The information technology sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer discretionary and financials sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included Enphase Energy, Inc., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 1.39%), and Devon Energy Corp., an energy company (no longer held at fiscal year-end). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included PENN Entertainment, Inc., a consumer discretionary company (portfolio average weight of 1.19%), and Align Technology Inc., a health care company (portfolio average weight of 0.97%).

SPHD    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco S&P 500® High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (SPHD)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco S&P 500® High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the S&P 500® Low Volatility High Dividend 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, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of the 50 least volatile high yielding constituents of the S&P 500® Index (the “Parent Index”) in the past year. The Index Provider identifies the 75 securities in the Parent Index with the highest dividend yields over the past 12 months, with no one sector within the Parent Index allowed to contribute more than 10 securities. From those 75 securities, the Index Provider selects for inclusion in the Index the 50 securities with the lowest realized volatility over the past 12 months. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down asset price fluctuations (increases or decreases in a stock’s price) over time. The Index weights each constituent security by its dividend yield, with higher dividend-yielding securities receiving proportionally greater weights. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 3.15%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 3.02%. During the same time period, the Index returned 3.33%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period. During the same time period, the Parent Index returned (11.23)%.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the energy sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the utilities and health care sectors, respectively. The materials sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the real estate and communications services sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included Chevron Co., an energy company (portfolio average weight of 2.78%), and Williams Companies, Inc., an energy company (portfolio average weight of 3.29%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included 3M Co., an industrials company (portfolio average weight of 1.46%), and Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., a consumer staples company (portfolio average weight of 1.77%).

As an index fund, the Invesco S&P 500 Minimum Variance ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the S&P 500® Minimum Volatility 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, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P DJI” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of a subset of constituent securities of the S&P 500® Index (the “Parent Index”) using a managed volatility equity strategy that seeks to achieve lower total volatility than the Parent Index, while maintaining other similar characteristics of the Parent Index. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down asset price fluctuations (increases or decreases in a stock’s price) over time. Unlike the Parent Index, which is a traditional market capitalization-weighted index (meaning that companies with larger market capitalizations receive proportionally greater weight in the index, without regard to the volatility of those stocks), the Index weights its constituents using an optimization-driven weighting scheme that is designed to minimize overall forecasted volatility (i.e., reduce the magnitude of price fluctuations), subject to stock level, sector level and factor exposure constraints. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (5.14)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (5.08)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (4.97)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period. During the same time period, the Parent Index returned (11.23)%.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the consumer staples sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the utilities and financials sectors, respectively. The information technology sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer discretionary and communications services sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc., a health care company (portfolio average weight of 1.89%), and Progressive Corp., a financials company (portfolio average weight of 2.16%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included Adobe Inc., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 1.66%), and Medtronic PLC, a health care company (portfolio average weight of 1.72%).

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P DJI” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of approximately 100 stocks in the S&P 500® Index (the “Parent Index”) that have the highest “momentum score.” In general, momentum is the tendency of an investment to exhibit persistence in its relative performance; a “momentum style” of investing emphasizes investing in securities that have had better recent performance compared to other securities. The momentum score for each security included in the Index is based on price movements and volatility of the security as compared to other eligible securities within the Parent Index.

In selecting constituent securities for the Index, the Index Provider first calculates the momentum score of each stock in the Parent Index by evaluating the percentage change in the stock’s price over the last 12 months, excluding the most recent month, and applying an adjustment based on the security’s volatility over that period. (Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down asset price fluctuations (increases or decreases in a stock’s price) over time.) The Index Provider then selects approximately 100 stocks with the highest momentum score for inclusion in the Index using a modified market capitalization-weighted strategy, as the Index Provider weights securities by multiplying their market capitalization and their momentum score, subject to security and sector restraints. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (13.43)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (13.60)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (13.49)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period. During the same time period, the Parent Index returned (11.23)%.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the energy sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the materials sector. The information technology sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the health care and communication services sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included Exxon Mobil

Corp., an energy company (portfolio average weight of 2.30%), and Freeport-McMoRan, Inc., a materials company (no longer held at fiscal year-end). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included NVIDIA Corp., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 2.29%) and Moderna, Inc., a health care company (no longer held at fiscal year-end).

QVML    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco S&P 500 QVM Multi-factor ETF (QVML)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco S&P 500 QVM Multi-factor ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the S&P 500® Quality, Value & Momentum Top 90% Multi-factor 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, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P DJI” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of 90% of the stocks within the S&P 500® Index (the “Parent Index”), after excluding those with the lowest quality, value and momentum multi-factor score. The Index is composed of securities with multi-factor scores representing the top 90% of the Parent Index, as determined by the Index Provider.

To construct the Index, each security in the Parent Index is assigned three separate “style scores” for each of the three factors (i.e., quality, value and momentum), based on the characteristics of the issuer. The Quality score of each stock is based on the following three fundamental measures: (i) return on equity, (ii) accruals ratio, and (iii) financial leverage ratio (the Quality score of companies in the Financials or Real Estate sectors according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) is based only on the return on equity and financial leverage ratio measures). The Value score of each stock is based on the following three fundamental measures: (i) book value-to-price ratio, (ii) earnings- to-price ratio, and (iii) sales-to-price ratio. The Momentum score of each stock is based on the risk-adjusted price performance during the specified prior measurement period. Next, a combined “multi-factor” score is generated for each stock in the Parent Index by calculating the average of the underlying quality, value and momentum scores. Securities whose multi-factor score ranks within the top 90% of securities in the Parent Index (i.e., the 450 securities with the highest multi-factor scores) are generally selected for inclusion in the Index. Securities in the Index are weighted based on their float-adjusted market capitalization. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (9.36)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (9.47)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (9.35)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period. During the same time period, the Parent Index returned (11.23)%.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the energy sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the utilities and consumer staples sectors, respectively. The communications services sector detracted most significantly from

the Fund’s return, followed by the information technology and financials sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included Tesla Inc., a consumer discretionary company (portfolio average weight of 1.67%), and Exxon Mobil Corp., an energy company (portfolio average weight of 0.96%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included Meta Platforms Inc., Class A, a communication services company (portfolio average weight of 1.81%) and Alphabet Inc., Class C, a communication services company (portfolio average weight of 4.53%).

XMLV    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco S&P MidCap Low Volatility ETF (XMLV)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco S&P MidCap Low Volatility ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the S&P MidCap 400® Low Volatility 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, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of a subset of approximately 80 securities in the S&P MidCap 400® Index (the “Parent Index”) that have the lowest realized volatility over the past 12 months. The Parent Index reflects the mid-capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down asset price fluctuations (increases or decreases in a stock’s price) over time. The Index weights its component securities based upon the inverse of each security’s volatility, with the least volatile securities receiving the greatest weights. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (3.27)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (3.38)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (3.12)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred. During the same time period, the Parent Index returned (10.37)%.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the utilities sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer staples and materials sectors, respectively. The financials sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the industrials and real estate sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included Carlisle Cos. Inc., an industrials company (portfolio average weight of 1.30%), and National Fuel Gas Co., a utilities company (portfolio average weight of 1.35%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included Mercury General Corp., a financials company (portfolio average weight of 1.26%), and Masimo Corp., a health care company (no longer held at fiscal year-end).

As an index fund, the Invesco S&P SmallCap 600 QVM Multi-factor ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the S&P SmallCap 600® Quality, Value & Momentum Top 90% Multi- Factor 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, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P DJI” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of 90% of the stocks within the S&P SmallCap 600® Index (the “Parent Index”), after excluding those with the lowest quality, value and momentum. The Index is composed of securities with multi-factor scores representing the top 90% of the Parent Index, as determined by the Index Provider.

In selecting constituent securities for the Index, each security in the Parent Index is assigned three separate “style scores” for each of the three factors (i.e., quality, value and momentum), based on the characteristics of the issuer. The Quality score of each stock is based on the following three fundamental measures: (i) return on equity, (ii) accruals ratio, and (iii) financial leverage ratio (the Quality score of companies in the Financials or Real Estate sectors according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) is based only on the return on equity and financial leverage ratio measures). The Value score of each stock is based on the following three fundamental measures: (i) book value-to-price ratio, (ii) earnings- to-price ratio, and (iii) sales-to-price ratio. The Momentum score of each stock is based on the risk-adjusted price performance during the specified prior measurement period. Next, a combined “multi-factor” score is generated for each stock in the Parent Index by calculating the average of the underlying quality, value and momentum scores. Securities whose multi-factor score ranks within the top 90% of securities in the Parent Index (i.e., the 540 securities with the highest multi-factor scores) are generally selected for inclusion in the Index. Securities in the Index are weighted based on their float-adjusted market capitalization. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (10.17)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (10.33)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (10.20)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred. During the same time period, the Parent Index returned (12.12)%.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the energy sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the utilities sector. The consumer discretionary sector detracted most

significantly from the Fund’s return during the period, followed by the health care and real estate sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included Lantheus Holdings Inc., a health care company (portfolio average weight of 0.34%), and Matador Resources Co., an energy company (no longer held at fiscal year-end). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included Innovative Industrial Properties Inc., a real estate company (portfolio average weight 0.24%) and 3D Systems Corp., an information technology company (portfolio average weight 0.25%).

Performance quoted above represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and shares of the Fund (“Fund Shares”), when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See the current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.15% is expressed as a unitary management fee to cover operating expenses and expenses incurred in connection with managing the portfolio.

XSHD    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco S&P SmallCap High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (XSHD)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco S&P SmallCap High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the S&P SmallCap 600® Low Volatility High Dividend 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, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P DJI” or the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of approximately 60 securities in the S&P SmallCap 600® Index (the “Parent Index”) that historically have provided high dividend yields while exhibiting lower volatility. The Index selects constituents from the Parent Index, which reflects the small-capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market.

The Index Provider selects from the Parent Index the 90 securities with the highest dividend yields over the past 12 months, with no one sector within the Parent Index allowed to contribute more than 10 securities. From those securities, the Index Provider selects for inclusion in the Index the 60 securities with the lowest realized volatility over the past 12 months. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down asset price fluctuations (increases or decreases in a stock’s price) over time. The Index weights each constituent security by its dividend yield, with the highest dividend-yielding securities receiving the largest weights. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (13.19)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (13.36)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (13.10)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period. During the same time period, the Parent Index returned (12.12)%.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the utilities sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer staples sector. The financials sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during the period, followed by the real estate and materials sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included LTC Properties, Inc., a real estate company (portfolio average weight 2.77%), and South Jersey Industries, Inc., a utilities company (no longer held at fiscal year-end). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included Industrial Logistics Properties Trust, a real estate company (portfolio average weight 2.11%) and Brandywine Realty Trust, a real estate company (portfolio average weight 2.44%).

XSHQ    Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
   Invesco S&P SmallCap Quality ETF (XSHQ)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco S&P SmallCap Quality ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the S&P SmallCap 600® Quality 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, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles, maintains and calculates the Index, which is designed to measure the performance of approximately 120 securities in the S&P SmallCap 600® Index (the “Parent Index”) that are of the highest quality, as determined by the Index Provider. The Index Provider selects constituents from the Parent Index, which reflects the small-capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market.

Each security in the Parent Index receives a “quality score,” which is based on an average of the following three fundamental measures of a company: (1) return-on-equity (calculated as the company’s trailing 12-month earnings per share divided by the company’s latest book value per share); (2) accruals ratio (computed using the change of the company’s net operating assets over the last year divided by the company’s average net operating assets over the last two years); and (3) financial leverage ratio (calculated as the company’s latest total debt divided by the company’s book value). The Index Provider selects the 120 stocks with the highest quality scores for inclusion in the Index. The Index weights each component security by the total of its quality score multiplied by its market capitalization, subject to security and sector constraints and optimization procedure. Stocks with higher scores receive relatively greater weights. The Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (10.12)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (10.13)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (9.88)%. 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 fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred during the period. During the same time period, the Parent Index returned (12.12)%.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the health care sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the materials and energy sectors, respectively. The consumer discretionary sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during the period, followed by the industrials and consumer staples sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included Rogers Corp., an information technology company (no longer held at fiscal year-end) and Corcept Therapeutics Inc., a health care company

(portfolio average weight of 0.53%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included 3D Systems Corp., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 0.72%), and Meritage Homes Corp., a consumer discretionary company (no longer held at fiscal year-end).

Liquidity Risk Management Program

 

In compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), the Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (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 15, 2022, 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, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (the “Program Reporting Period”). The Report discussed notable events affecting liquidity over the Program Reporting Period, including the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Funds 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.
