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.

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%).

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. The communication services sector detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors, respectively.
Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, included Occidental Petroleum Corp., an energy company (portfolio average weight of 0.28%) and CF Industries Holdings Inc., a materials company (portfolio average weight of 0.28%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included Roku Inc., Class A, a communication services company (portfolio average weight of 0.39%), and Altice USA, Inc., Class A, a communication services company (portfolio average weight of 0.41%).

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).

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.

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)%.

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 0.25% 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.
