The Invesco Investment Grade Defensive ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Invesco Investment Grade Defensive Index (the “Underlying Index”).
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund (“Shares”). You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.
| Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | |
| Management Fees | 0.13 % |
| | |
| Other Expenses | None |
| | |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.13 |
| | |
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. This example does not include brokerage commissions that investors may pay to buy and sell Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, your costs, based on these assumptions, would be:
|
1 Year
|
3 Years
|
5 Years
|
10 Years
|
| $13 |
$42 |
$73 |
$166 |
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it purchases and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate will cause the Fund to incur additional transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, may affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 75% of the average value of its portfolio.
The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in the securities that comprise the Underlying Index.
Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Underlying Index, which is designed to provide exposure to U.S. investment grade bonds having the highest “quality scores” as determined by the Index Provider using its methodology described below. The Index Provider is affiliated with Invesco Capital Management LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), and Invesco Distributors, Inc., the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”).
In selecting components for inclusion in the Underlying Index, the Index Provider begins with an investment universe of all U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued by U.S. companies. To be eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index, bonds must (i) have an average credit rating that is higher than BBB- (or equivalent), as derived from ratings by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) credit rating agencies; (ii) have at least $600 million in face value outstanding, with only the largest bond from each issuer eligible; (iii) have at least two years, and no more than ten years, until final maturity; and (iv) make coupon payments. Qualifying securities include: fixed rate, bullet bonds, sinking funds, amortizing, puttable, extendable, callable, and step-up bonds with schedules known at issuance. Securities
issued in accordance with Rule 144A (“Rule 144A securities”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), bonds registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), publicly underwritten medium-term notes and Eurodollar bonds are all eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index.
The Index Provider assigns a quality score (“Quality Score”) to each eligible bond, which is calculated based on such bond’s maturity and credit rating. With respect to the maturity factor, each bond is scored based on the number of years remaining to maturity, with bonds having fewer years to maturity receiving higher scores. With respect to the credit rating factor, each rating agency’s rating is converted into a numerical value and a bond’s credit score is calculated as an equally-weighted average of the numerical scores of each agency that has rated the bond. The maturity and credit scores for each bond are standardized across the universe of eligible bonds, and the Quality Score for each bond is computed as an equally-weighted combination of these two factors.
All eligible securities are ranked by Quality Score. Initially, bonds with Quality Scores in the top 40% of eligible securities are selected for inclusion in the Underlying Index. At each monthly rebalance, any new eligible security with a Quality Score in the top 30% of eligible securities is added to the Underlying Index, and current Underlying Index constituents with a Quality Score in the top 50% of eligible securities remain in the Underlying Index, provided that they satisfy all other eligibility criteria. Underlying Index constituents are equally weighted. The Underlying Index is rebalanced each calendar month. At that time, the set of eligible securities is determined, securities are selected for membership in the Underlying Index, and the Underlying Index is reweighted.
As of October 31, 2024, the Underlying Index was comprised of 154 constituents.
The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Underlying Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.
Concentration Policy. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest more than 25% of the value of its net assets) in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries only to the extent that the Underlying Index reflects a concentration in that industry or group of industries. The Fund will not otherwise concentrate its investments in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries. As of August 31, 2024, the Fund had significant exposure to the financials sector. The Fund’s portfolio holdings, and the extent to which it concentrates its investments, are likely to change over time.
The bar chart below shows how the Fund has performed. The table below the bar chart shows the Fund’s average annual total returns (before and after taxes). The bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund’s total returns have varied from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual total returns compared with a broad measure of market performance and additional indices with characteristics relevant to the Fund. The Fund's performance reflects fee waivers, if any, absent which performance would have been lower. Although the information shown in the bar chart and the table gives you some idea of the risks involved in investing in the Fund, the Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily indicative of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Effective August 31, 2024, the Fund changed its broad-based securities market benchmark from the iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index to reflect that the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index can be considered more broadly representative of the overall applicable securities market.
After-tax returns in the above table are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Shares through tax-advantaged arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
