Domestic Equity

The fiscal period proved to be another strong, albeit increasingly volatile, time for US equities. As the fiscal period unfolded in the later months of 2017, several major US stock market indexes repeatedly reached new highs amid improving economic data, strong corporate profits and the prospect of tax reform legislation. Stock market volatility remained exceedingly low—a hallmark of 2017.

At the outset of 2018, US equity markets continued to steadily move higher in January as investors remained enthused about the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law in late December 2017, which significantly cut corporate tax rates. However, in February 2018, volatility returned to the US stock and bond markets. Worries about how rising interest rates might affect economic growth, concerns about a potential trade war and heightened geopolitical tensions, caused the US stock market to pull back and volatility to increase. In addition, in April 2018, the yield on the 10-year US Treasury bond climbed above 3%—a psychologically important level—for the first time since December 2013.1

Despite a disappointing first quarter, US equity markets generally recovered in the second quarter of 2018. Strong US retail sales and low unemployment continued to buoy US equity markets. In the final months of the fiscal period, US equities moved higher, despite several potential headwinds including trade tensions, tariff announcements and contagion concerns over a Turkish currency crisis. Ultimately, the fiscal period ended the same way it began with several US equity indexes reaching new record highs.

Given signs of a strong economy, the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the fiscal period: in December 2017 and in March and June 2018.2 In contrast, the European Central Bank and central banks in several other countries maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies.

International Equity

Global equity markets delivered positive returns for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. That positive performance was despite significant turbulence in late January and early February 2018, when stocks were whipsawed—first by concerns about accelerated US Federal Reserve tightening and then, later in the year, by fears of brewing trade wars. Geopolitical risks and tighter monetary policies overseas were additional headwinds to global equity markets. In spite of these risks, global equities generally rose during the fiscal period.

In Europe, economic growth remained positive amid improving employment, industrial production and consumption trends in many countries. However, European equity markets retrenched in August amid concerns regarding Italy’s budget concerns and contagion fears regarding the Turkish lira. The political environment in Germany improved, with Chancellor Angela Merkel finally securing a coalition government in order to continue her leadership. French President Emmanuel Macron continued his efforts at labor reform, boosting business confidence and business spending. The European Central Bank remained supportive of European equities, maintaining a dovish tone throughout the fiscal period.

Weakness in emerging equity markets during August was broad based. Investors worried about threats to global trade as the US prepared to impose tariffs on an additional $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. While the prospect of a deepening trade dispute pushed Chinese equity markets into negative territory, Latin America was the worst-performing region, with losses in Brazil accentuated by political uncertainties and currency weakness. Economic growth in emerging markets remained relatively strong over the fiscal period. However, volatility increased toward the end of the fiscal period with several markets registering losses.

At the close of the fiscal period, equity valuations in developed and emerging markets appeared relatively full in absolute terms—but overseas equity markets were trading at a material discount to those of the US. In sum, while valuations were not cheap, recent earnings growth and upward earnings revisions improved in many non-US developed markets.

DEF    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Defensive Equity ETF (DEF)

 

Welcome to Invesco! Effective after the close of business on April 6, 2018, Guggenheim Defensive Equity ETF (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into Invesco Defensive Equity ETF (formerly known as PowerShares Defensive Equity Portfolio), a newly created exchange-traded fund in Invesco’s family of ETFs, in a tax-free transaction. The ticker symbol and Index did not change. Performance information set forth below refers to both the performance of the Predecessor Fund and the Fund.

As an index fund, the Invesco Defensive Equity ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of an equity index called the Invesco Defensive Equity Index (the “Defensive Equity Index” or the “Index”). The Index is designed to provide exposure to equity securities of large capitalization U.S. issuers that Invesco Indexing, LLC (“Invesco Indexing” or the “Index Provider”) has selected for inclusion in the Index based on a rules-based screening criteria. Invesco Indexing is affiliated with Invesco Capital Management LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser. The companies eligible for the Index are derived from its starting universe, the S&P 500®, which is a leading benchmark index for U.S. large capitalization stocks. Invesco Indexing selects securities for inclusion in the Index based on its proprietary rules-based methodology and a security’s risk characteristics. The starting universe is screened to eliminate stocks with less favorable risk profiles by measuring certain risk characteristics, such as a stock’s beta (a measure of a given security’s volatility in relation to the volatility of a specific market) and down market volatility (a measurement that represents a security’s volatility during adverse market conditions). The rules-based methodology calculates the likelihood that a company will achieve the performance required to support the company’s stock price by calculating what a company’s stock price implies in terms of current revenue growth expectations and comparing those expectations to the management’s past ability to deliver that revenue growth. Using Invesco Indexing’s rules-based methodology, the Index is designed to mitigate market risk and improve risk adjusted returns relative to the Index’s starting universe. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index. The Fund generally will invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 16.39%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 16.25%. During the same time period, the Index returned 16.98%. During the fiscal year, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund during the period.

During this same time period, the S&P 500® Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 19.66%. The Benchmark Index is

an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 500 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 overall U.S. stock market.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary stock selection and equal weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights stocks based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the consumer staples sector and most underweight in the information technology sector during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being underweight in the consumer discretionary sector as well as fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the information technology sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by health care and financials sectors, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, included AbbVie, Inc., a health care company (no longer held at fiscal year-end), and Intuit, Inc., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 1.04%). No positions detracted from the Fund’s return during this period.

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 current prospectus for more information. The adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay certain Fund expenses through April 6, 2020. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the total gross annual operating expense ratio was indicated as 0.61% and the net annual operating expense ratio was indicated as 0.60%. The Financial Highlights section of the Shareholder Report presents the expense ratios based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report. 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.

Blended-Index and Benchmark Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Blended-Index and Benchmark Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Blended-Index and Benchmark Index 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.

GMFL    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF (GMFL)

 

Welcome to Invesco! Effective after the close of business on April 6, 2018, Guggenheim Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF (formerly known as PowerShares Multi-Factor Large Cap Portfolio), a newly created exchange-traded fund in Invesco’s family of ETFs, in a tax-free transaction. The ticker symbol and Index did not change. Performance information set forth below refers to both the performance of the Predecessor Fund and the Fund.

As an index fund, the Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, the daily performance of the Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap Index (the “Index”). Invesco Indexing, LLC (“Invesco Indexing” or the “Index Provider”), an affiliate of Invesco Capital Management LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser, compiles and maintains the Index, which is composed of approximately 50 equity securities selected from the universe of equity securities that comprise the S&P 500® Index, pursuant to a rules-based methodology. The Index component securities are selected using a Multi-Factor Composite Score, a rules-based methodology, to seek to identify those securities that will enhance returns, reduce risk and improve diversification. The Multi-Factor Composite Score seeks to identify component securities with attractive exposures to several factors or investment characteristics. Generally, these factors include both fundamental factors (i.e., value, growth and quality) and non-fundamental factors (i.e., momentum, short interest, volatility and liquidity). The Multi-Factor Composite Score uses multiple diversifying factors to seek to provide more consistent performance as compared to individual factor strategies that inherently experience cycles of underperformance when a particular factor is out of favor. The selected securities will be rebalanced quarterly to have the same target weighting as every other security in the Index. The equal weighting provides broader exposure to the majority of securities in the Index than typically may be found in a market capitalization weighted index. The Index also seeks to have a similar sector exposure as the S&P 500® Index. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in component securities included in the Index. The Fund generally will invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

The Board of Trustees approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Fund from October 31 to August 31. For the fiscal period from November 1, 2017 to August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 13.04%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 12.66%. During the same time period, the Index returned 13.01%. During the fiscal period, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund during the period.

During this same time period, the S&P 500® Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 14.57%. The Benchmark Index is

an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 500 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 overall U.S. stock market.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary stock selection and equal weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights stocks based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the utilities sector and most underweight in the health care sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being underweight in the financials sector.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the consumer staples sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer discretionary and financials sectors, respectively. The materials sector was the most significant detracting sector.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Centene Corp., a health care company (portfolio average weight of 2.04%), and Robert Half International, Inc., an industrials company (portfolio average weight of 2.12%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Unum Group, a consumer discretionary company (no longer held at fiscal period-end), and News Corp., Class A, a consumer discretionary company (portfolio average weight of 1.48%).

OVLC    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF (OVLC)

 

Welcome to Invesco! Effective after the close of business on April 6, 2018, Guggenheim U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into Invesco U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF (formerly known as PowerShares U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility Portfolio), a newly created exchange-traded fund in Invesco’s family of ETFs, in a tax-free transaction. The ticker symbol and Index did not change. Performance information set forth below refers to both the performance of the Predecessor Fund and the Fund.

As an index fund, the Invesco U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of an equity index called the Invesco U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility Index (the “Index”). The Index is designed to deliver exposure to equity securities of large capitalization U.S. issuers and respond to changes in market conditions by attempting to obtain higher returns when the “reward to risk” (as measured by the Index methodology described below) is high, while minimizing volatility during other market conditions. Index constituents must be constituents of the S&P 500® Index, the leading benchmark index for U.S. large capitalization stocks. Invesco Indexing, LLC (“Invesco Indexing” or the “Index Provider”), an affiliate of Invesco Capital Management LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser, selects securities from the constituents of the S&P 500® Index for inclusion in the Index using a proprietary rules-based methodology that calculates the reward to risk of each security in the investable universe. The reward to risk of a security is calculated based on the following factors: (i) volatility; (ii) correlation; (iii) change in volatility; and (iv) change in correlation. The Index also utilizes the security’s historical returns, and the relationship of each of the above four factors to those returns, in calculating the reward to risk for each security. The Index thus attempts to reflect lower volatility relative to the broader U.S. equity market in typical market conditions, but attempts to reflect higher volatility in certain situations where, per the above methodology, the reward to risk is estimated to be higher. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index. The Fund generally will invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 17.91%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 16.38%. During the same time period, the Index returned 16.79%. During the fiscal year, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund during the period.

During this same time period, the S&P 500® Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 19.66%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on

the average performance of approximately 500 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 stocks of the overall U.S. stock market.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary stock selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights stocks based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the real estate sector and most underweight in the information technology sector during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being underweight in the information technology sector as well as fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the information technology sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer discretionary and financial sectors, respectively. The utilities sector was the single detracting sector.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, included Apple, Inc., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 2.93%), and Amazon.com, Inc., a consumer discretionary company (portfolio average weight of 1.37%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included PG&E Corp., a utilities company (portfolio average weight of 0.73%), and Twitter, Inc., an information technology company (portfolio average weight of 0.18%).

Predecessor Fund Inception: May 10, 2016

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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.30% 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.

Index and Benchmark Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index and Benchmark Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark Index 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.

Notes Regarding Indexes and Fund Performance History:

 

-

Effective after the close of business on April 6, 2018, the Predecessor Fund was reorganized into the Fund. Fund returns shown are blended returns of the Predecessor Fund and the Fund.

 

-

Average Annualized and Cumulative Inception returns for the Fund, Index and Benchmark Index are based on the inception date of the Predecessor Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements

Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust

August 31, 2018

 

Note 1—Organization

Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust (the “Trust”), formerly PowerShares Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust, was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on October 30, 2015 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). This report includes the following portfolios:

 

Full Name

  

Predecessor Fund (as defined below)

  

Short Name

Invesco Defensive Equity ETF    Guggenheim Defensive Equity ETF    “Defensive Equity ETF”
Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF    Guggenheim Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF    “Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF”
Invesco U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF    Guggenheim U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF    “U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF”

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc.

Effective June 4, 2018, the Funds’ names changed as part of an overall rebranding strategy whereby the PowerShares name was changed to the Invesco brand. This resulted in all references to the PowerShares name being changed to Invesco.

Each Fund acquired all or substantially all of the assets and all of the stated liabilities included in the financial statements of the corresponding fund of the Trust listed below (each “Predecessor Fund”) after the close of business on April 6, 2018 (each “Reorganization”).

Predecessor Fund’s Trust

Defensive Equity ETF    Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust
Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF    Rydex ETF Trust
U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF    Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust 2

Each Fund adopted the performance and financial information of its corresponding Predecessor Fund. Information presented prior to the close of business on April 6, 2018 is that of the Predecessor Fund.

Effective August 31, 2018, Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF’s fiscal year-end changed from October 31 to August 31.

The market price of each Share may differ to some degree from a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each of the Funds is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

Underlying Index

Defensive Equity ETF    Invesco Defensive Equity Index
Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF    Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap Index
U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF    Invesco U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility Index

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies:

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is generally valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded or, lacking any sales or official

 

 

  23  

 


 

 

closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded, or at the final settlement price set by such exchange. Swaps and options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source. For purposes of determining NAV per Share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investment companies are valued using such company’s NAV per share, unless the shares are exchange-traded, in which case they are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts’) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”), formerly Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC, determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value exchange-traded equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans, and unlisted equity securities.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of

 

 

  24  

 


 

 

valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk. Only Authorized Participants (“APs”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with each Fund. Each Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as APs, and such APs have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders. Consequently, there is no assurance that those APs will establish or maintain an active trading market for the Shares. This risk may be heightened to the extent that securities underlying each Fund are traded outside a collateralized settlement system. In that case, APs may be required to post collateral on certain trades on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of APs may be able to do. In addition, to the extent that APs exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to each Fund and no other AP is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, this may result in a significantly diminished trading market for Shares, which may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and to face trading halts and/or delisting.

Equity Risk. Each Fund is subject to the risk that the value of the equity securities and equity-based derivatives, if any, in each Fund’s portfolio will decline due to volatility in the equity market caused by general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding particular industries represented in the equity market, or factors relating to specific companies to which each Fund has investment exposure.

Correlation and Tracking Error Risk. A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its Underlying Index, and there can be no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with its Underlying Index either on a single trading day or for a longer time period. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and the components of the Underlying Index, rounding of share prices, changes to the composition of the Underlying Index, regulatory policies, a high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking error and correlation risk. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective and cause a Fund’s performance to be less than you expect.

Non-Diversification Risk. Each Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer’s securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of the Shares than would occur in a diversified fund.

Industry Concentration Risk. Each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or sector. To the extent that the each Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, the each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, the each Fund faces more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. Such industry-based risks, any of which may adversely affect the companies in which the each Fund invests, may include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic conditions or cyclical market patterns that could negatively affect supply and demand in a particular industry; competition for resources, adverse labor relations, political or world events; obsolescence of technologies; and increased competition or new product introductions that may affect the profitability or viability of companies in an industry. In addition, at times, such industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole.

Issuer-Specific Changes Risk. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

Passive Investment Risk. Each Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Therefore, each Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market than a fund that is actively managed.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. Each Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities to reflect the rebalancing of the Underlying Index. A high portfolio turnover rate (such as 100% or more) could result in high brokerage costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account.

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, each Fund does not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of its Underlying Index. Therefore, each Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

C. Country Determination

For the purposes of presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the Adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include whether each Fund’s Underlying Index has made a country determination and may include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in

 

 

  25  

 


 

 

which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D. Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions. In a repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security and the seller simultaneously agrees to repurchase the security on a specified future date at an agreed-upon price. The repurchase price reflects an agreed-upon interest rate during the time the Fund’s money is invested in the security. Because the security constitutes collateral for the repurchase obligation, a repurchase agreement can be considered a collateralized loan. The Funds follow certain procedures designed to minimize the risks inherent in such agreements. These procedures include effecting repurchase transactions only with large, well-capitalized and well-established financial institutions whose condition will be continually monitored. In addition, the value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a selling financial institution, the Funds will seek to liquidate such collateral. However, the exercising of the Funds right to liquidate such collateral could involve certain costs or delays and, to the extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the obligation to repurchase were less than the repurchase price, the Funds could suffer a loss. It is the current policy of the Funds not to invest in repurchase agreements that do not mature within seven days if any such investment, together with any other illiquid assets held by the Funds, amounts to more than 15% of each Fund’s net assets. The investments of the Funds in repurchase agreements, at times, may be substantial when, in the view of the Adviser, liquidity or other considerations so warrant.

E. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable taxes withheld by foreign countries. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis. Dividend income from REITs is recorded based on the income included in the distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT classifications, including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

The Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to each Fund’s investments. As such, the Funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statements of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of each Fund’s NAV and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between each Fund and the Adviser.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders annually and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. In addition, the Funds intend to distribute any capital gains to shareholders as capital gain dividends at least annually. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal year or period-end.

G. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

 

 

  26  

 


 

 

The Funds file tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

H. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.

Each Fund (except Defensive Equity ETF) has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of each Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (as set forth in the investment advisory agreement).

Defensive Equity ETF is responsible for all of its expenses, including the investment advisory fees, costs of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with executions of portfolio transactions, licensing fees related to its Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust’s Board members who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or the Adviser (the “Independent Trustees”), any Trustee who is not an affiliate of the Adviser or Distributor (or any of their affiliates) and who is otherwise an “interested person” of the Trust under the 1940 Act (an “Unaffiliated Trustee”), expenses incurred in connection with the Board members’ services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for the Independent Trustees and any Unaffiliated Trustee, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses.

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

I. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statement in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

Note 3—Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements with the Adviser on behalf of each Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of each Fund’s investments, managing each Fund’s business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, Defensive Equity ETF accrues daily and pays monthly to the Adviser an annual fee equal to 0.50% of its average daily net assets.

Effective on the Reorganization, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of Defensive Equity ETF (excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, sub-licensing fees, offering costs, taxes, acquired fund fees and expense, if applicable, and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year through at least April 6, 2020, and neither the Adviser nor Defensive Equity ETF can discontinue the agreement prior to its expiration.

Prior to the Reorganization, GFIA limited expenses for the Defensive Equity ETF to the same expense cap.

Pursuant to another Investment Advisory Agreement, each Fund listed below accrues daily and pays monthly to the Advisor, as compensation for its services, an annual unitary management fee equal to a percentage of its average daily net assets as follows:

 

Fund    % of Average
Daily Net Assets
 
Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF      0.25
U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF      0.30

Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds listed in the table above, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (as set forth in the investment advisory agreement).

Prior to the Reorganization, the Predecessor Funds were managed by Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors LLC (“GFIA”) and each Predecessor Fund paid GFIA an investment advisory fee calculated at the same annualized rate as disclosed above for each respective

 

 

  27  

 


 

 

Fund. Under this agreement, GFIA was not required to pay the expenses of the Independent Trustees for the Guggenheim Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF.

Effective as of the Reorganization, the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF’s and U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF’s unitary management fee to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each Fund (excluding interest expense, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, if applicable, taxes and litigation expenses and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding such Fund’s unitary management fee through at least April 6, 2020.

Additionally, through at least August 31, 2020, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of each Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). There is no guarantee that the Adviser will extend the waiver of these fees past that date.

For the period September 1, 2017 to April 6, 2018, GFIA waived fees and/or paid Fund expenses for the Guggenheim Defensive Equity ETF and for the period after the close of business on April 6, 2018 to August 31, 2018, the Adviser waived fees in the following amounts:

 

Fund

   Period after the close of business
April 6, 2018 to August 31,  2018
     Period September 1, 2017
to April 6, 2018
 
Defensive Equity ETF    $ 56      $ 2,433  

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF and U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF did not waive fees and/or have any expenses paid by the Adviser.

The fees waived and/or expenses borne by the Adviser for Defensive Equity ETF are subject to recapture by the Adviser up to three years from the date the fees were waived or the expenses were incurred, but no recapture payment will be made by the Fund if it would result in the Fund exceeding (i) the Expense Cap or (ii) the expense cap in effect at the time the fees and/or expenses subject to recapture were waived and/or borne by the Adviser. Amounts waived by GFIA prior to the Reorganization are not subject to recapture.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, there were no amounts available for potential recapture by the Adviser under the Expense Agreement.

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Funds are not charged any fees pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser. Prior to the Reorganization, the Board of Trustees for each Predecessor Fund adopted a distribution and service plan pursuant to rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. No 12b-1 fees were paid by the Predecessor Funds under this plan.

The Adviser has entered into licensing agreements on behalf of each Fund with the Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Licensor”).

Each Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the Licensor. These trademarks have been licensed to the Adviser for use by the Funds. Each Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to the Trust’s sub-licensing agreement with the Adviser. Prior to the Reorganization, each Underlying Index name trademark had been licensed to GFIA for use by the corresponding Predecessor Fund. The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensor, and the Licensor makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of the Funds.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, GFIA engaged external service providers to perform these services for each Predecessor Fund.

Note 4—Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 —

Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 —

Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

 

  28  

 


 

 

 

  Level 3 —

Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of August 31, 2018, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the fiscal year or period ended August 31, 2018, there were no transfers between valuation levels.

Capital loss carryforwards are calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforwards actually available for the Funds to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following table presents available capital loss carryforwards for each Fund as of August 31, 2018:

Capital loss carryforwards as of the date listed above are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

Note 6—Securities Lending

During the fiscal year or period ended August 31, 2018, each Fund participated in securities lending. Each Fund loaned portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% (105% for international securities) of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is generally invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedules of Investments. Each Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the policy of these Funds to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day,

 

 

  29  

 


 

 

following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, each Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to each Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to each Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. Each Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to each Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. Each Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Note 7—Investment Transactions

For the fiscal year or period ended August 31, 2018, the cost of securities purchased and proceeds from sales of securities, (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations, money market funds and in-kind transactions, if any), were as follows:

 

     Purchases      Sales  
Defensive Equity ETF    $ 247,159,220      $ 246,025,413  
Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF*      1,853,899        1,846,428  
U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF      1,743,398        1,718,003  

 

*

For the period November 1, 2017 to August 31, 2018.

For the fiscal year or period ended August 31, 2018, in-kind transactions associated with creations and redemptions were as follows:

Note 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of in-kind transactions and expired capital loss carryforwards, amounts were reclassified between undistributed net investment income, undistributed net realized gain (loss) and shares of beneficial interest.

Note 9—Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by each Fund to pay remuneration to the Independent Trustees, any Unaffiliated Trustee, and an Officer of the Trust. The Adviser, as a result of the unitary management fee, pays for such compensation for each Fund (except Defensive Equity ETF). The Trustee who is an “interested person” of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ Fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, each Independent Trustee or Unaffiliated Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select Invesco Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the Plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 10—Capital

Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in creation unit size aggregations of 50,000 shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with the Trust’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Certain transaction fees may be charged by the Funds for creations and redemptions, which are treated as increases in capital.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 11—Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee and Unaffiliated Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between such trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust and Shareholders of Invesco Defensive Equity ETF, Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF and Invesco U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF

 

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Invesco Defensive Equity ETF, Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF and Invesco U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF (three of the funds constituting Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2018, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the year ended August 31, 2018 (or for Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF, for the period November 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018) (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of August 31, 2018, and the results of each of their operations, changes in each of their net assets, and each of the financial highlights for the year ended August 31, 2018 (or for Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF, for the period November 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial statements of Invesco Defensive Equity ETF (Predecessor Fund Guggenheim Defensive Equity ETF) and Invesco U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF (Predecessor Fund Guggenheim U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF) as of and for the year ended August 31, 2017 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to August 31, 2017 (not presented herein, other than the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 30, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights. The financial statements and financial highlights of Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF (Predecessor Fund Guggenheim Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF) as of and for the period June 20, 2017 (commencement of investment operations) through October 31, 2017 (not presented herein, other than the statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report date December 21, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

Chicago, Illinois

We have served as the auditor of one or more of the investment companies in the Invesco group of investment companies since at least 1995. We have not been able to determine the specific year we began serving as auditor.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Trustees appointed, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Funds for the Funds’ current fiscal year. PwC serves as the independent registered public accounting firm for other Invesco ETFs.

Prior to April 6, 2018, each of the Predecessor Funds was a separate series of an unaffiliated investment company that was audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). The Board of Trustees selected a new independent auditor for the Funds’ current fiscal year.

Effective April 9, 2018, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Predecessor Funds. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Predecessor Funds for the past two years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Predecessor Funds’ two most recent fiscal years and through April 9, 2018, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of Invesco Defensive Equity ETF, you incur advisory fees and other Fund expenses. As a shareholder of the Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF and Invesco U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder of the Invesco Multi-Factor Large Cap ETF and Invesco U.S. Large Cap Optimized Volatility ETF, may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended August 31, 2018.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by a Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

At a meeting held on December 19, 2017, the Board of Trustees of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust (the “Trust”), including the Independent Trustees, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust for the funds listed above (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).

The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, (ii) the proposed unitary advisory fee for each Fund and comparisons to amounts paid by other comparable registered investment companies (iii) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows, (iv) whether the fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, and (v) any benefits to be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund.

The Trustees noted that each Fund was created in connection with the purchase by Invesco Ltd. of the exchange-traded funds business of Guggenheim Capital LLC (the “Transaction”) and that each Fund was structured substantially similar to a corresponding Guggenheim ETF, including the unitary advisory fee, that would be reorganized into the Fund in connection with the Transaction.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions to be performed by the Adviser for each Fund, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support that would be provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds, and they considered the quality of services provided by the Adviser to other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Trustees also reviewed information related to the Adviser’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures, as well as reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying indexes and the performance of other ETFs for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser.

The Trustees also considered the services to be provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds’ administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function for the other ETFs and that was expected to be provided for each Fund.

The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the resources that would be added in connection with the Transaction to maintain and enhance the services provided to the Funds and all other PowerShares ETFs.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to each Fund under the Agreement were expected to be appropriate and reasonable.

 

 

    Effective

June 4, 2018, the Trust and the PowerShares Funds became Invesco ETFs and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC became Invesco Capital Management LLC.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund’s proposed advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) databases on the median net expense ratios of comparable passive ETFs, open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end (non-ETF) actively managed funds peers. The Trustees also considered fee and expense data on Adviser-identified selected peers for certain Funds. The Trustees noted that the proposed annual advisory fee to be charged to each Fund was a unitary fee, and that the Adviser has agreed to pay all other expenses

of each Fund except for the fee payment under the Agreement, payments under the Fund’s 12b-1 plan, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The Trustees noted each Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee as compared to the median net expense ratio of its peer groups and select peer group, as applicable, as shown below:

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

The Trustees noted that the net expense ratios for all of the Funds were lower than the median net expense ratios of their open-end actively-managed peer funds. The Trustees considered each Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee in light of the administrative, operational and management oversight services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee to be charged to each Fund is reasonable and appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees considered that the Adviser did not provide a profitability analysis for the Adviser in managing each Fund because the Funds had not yet commenced operations. However, the Trustees noted other information the Board received at its April 2017 meeting on the Adviser’s overall profitability from its relationship with other ETFs for which it serves as investment adviser.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of each Fund would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but that a unitary advisory fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for each Fund. The Trustees considered whether the proposed advisory fee rate for each Fund is reasonable in relation to the proposed services and product strategy of each Fund, and they concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

Fall-Out Benefits. The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it would derive from its relationships with each Fund, and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements. The Trustees considered that an affiliate of the Adviser, Invesco Indexing LLC, would serve as the index provider for each Fund and would be paid a licensing fee.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement for

PowerShares Defensive Equity Portfolio

At a meeting held on December 19, 2017, the Board of Trustees of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust (the “Trust”), including the Independent Trustees, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust for Power Shares Defensive Equity Portfolio (the “Fund”).

The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, (ii) the proposed advisory fee and net expense ratio for the Fund and comparisons to amounts paid by other comparable registered investment companies, (iii) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows, (iv) whether the fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, and (v) any benefits to be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Fund was created in connection with the purchase by Invesco Ltd. of the exchange-traded funds business of Guggenheim Capital LLC (the “Transaction”) and that the Fund was structured substantially similar to a corresponding Guggenheim ETF, including the advisory fee and net expense ratio, that would be reorganized into the Fund (a “Reorganization”) in connection with the Transaction.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions to be performed by the Adviser for the Fund, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support that would be provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and they considered the quality of services provided by the Adviser to other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Trustees also reviewed information related to the Adviser’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures, as well as reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying indexes and the performance of other ETFs for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser.

The Trustees also considered the services to be provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Fund’s administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function for the other ETFs and that was expected to be provided for the Fund.

The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the resources that would be added in connection with the Transaction to maintain and enhance the services provided to the Fund and all other PowerShares ETFs.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund under the Agreement were expected to be appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on the Fund’s proposed advisory fee and net expense ratio, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) databases on the net advisory fees and net expense ratios of comparable passive ETFs and open-end (non-ETF) actively managed fund peers. The Trustees noted that the fee data provided by the Adviser included only eight open-end (non-ETF) actively managed fund peers. The Trustees also considered fee and expense data on Adviser-identified selected peers. The Trustees noted that the proposed annual advisory fee to be charged to the Fund is 0.50% of the average daily net assets for the Fund.

The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its contractual advisory fee and/or reimburse Fund expenses (an “Expense Cap”) to the extent necessary to prevent the annual operating expenses of the Fund from exceeding 0.60% of its average daily net assets, excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, offering costs, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, if applicable, and extraordinary expenses, through the later of two years from the closing date of the Reorganization or December 31, 2020.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s proposed contractual advisory fee was below the median net advisory fees of its passive ETF (12 peers) and open-end (non-ETF) actively managed (8 peers) peer groups but above the median of the Fund’s select (3 peers) peer

 

 

    Effective

June 4, 2018, the Trust and the PowerShares Funds became the Invesco ETFs and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC became Invesco Capital Management LLC.

group. The Trustees also noted that the net expense ratio for the Fund was below the median net expense ratios of the Fund’s passive ETF and open-end (non-ETF) actively managed peer groups but above the median of the Fund’s select peer group.

The Trustees considered the Fund’s proposed contractual advisory fee in light of the administrative, operational and management oversight services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board concluded that the contractual advisory fee to be charged to the Fund and expense ratio of the Fund (giving effect to the Fund’s Expense Cap) were reasonable and appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser.

In conjunction with their review of the contractual advisory fee, the Trustees considered that the Adviser did not provide a profitability analysis for the Adviser in managing the Fund because the Fund had not yet commenced operations. However, the Trustees noted other information the Board received at its April 2017 meeting on the Adviser’s overall profitability from its relationship with other ETFs for which it serves as investment adviser.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees also noted that the Excess Expense Agreement with the Trust provides that the Adviser is entitled to be reimbursed by the Fund for fees waived or expenses absorbed pursuant to the Expense Cap for a period of three years from the date the fee or expense was incurred, provided that no reimbursement would be made that would result in the Fund exceeding its Expense Cap. The Trustees considered whether the proposed advisory fee rate for the Fund is reasonable in relation to the proposed services and product strategy of the Fund, and they concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

Fall-Out Benefits. The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it would derive from its relationship with the Fund, and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements. The Trustees considered that an affiliate of the Adviser, Invesco Indexing LLC, would serve as the index provider for the Fund and would be paid a licensing fee.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Agreement for the Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

The Market Environment

 

 

 

Fixed Income

Throughout the fiscal period, US economic data remained positive; economic growth in the second quarter of 2018 was particularly strong. The US economy continued to add jobs, pushing the unemployment rate to 3.9% at the close of the fiscal period, while inflation remained subdued.1 Against this backdrop, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised the federal funds target rate from a range of 1.00% to 1.25% at the start of the fiscal period to a range of 1.75% to 2.00% at the close of the fiscal period. This was accomplished with three 0.25% rate hikes in December 2017, and in March and June 2018.2 Working against these positive developments, however, were global macroeconomic headwinds in the form of geopolitical trade tension, sub-optimal inflation, and the lingering unknown of Brexit—the decision by UK voters to leave the European Union. These headwinds could limit future Fed rate hikes in the near-term. The Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank maintained their negative interest rates in a continued attempt to stimulate growth and inflation by encouraging investors to spend rather than save. These actions continued to drive overseas investments into higher yielding segments of the fixed income markets.

The 10-year US Treasury yield continued to move upward at the start of the fiscal period and spiked in early 2018 due to the continued strength in the global economy, the rising risks of inflation and the high probability of additional Fed rate hikes throughout the fiscal period. Due to these factors, the 10-year US Treasury note declined steadily throughout the first quarter of 2018, resulting in higher government yields and a brief move above 3.00% before normalizing near the end of the fiscal period.3 The 10-year US Treasury yield ended the fiscal period at 2.86%, 74 basis points higher than at the beginning of the fiscal period.3 (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

The broader bond market, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, fell 1.05% for the fiscal period. Poor performance was largely attributable to the broad increase in US Treasury yields, a widening of credit spreads and reduced overseas bond purchase demand during the fiscal period. All four primary sectors of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index—government-related, corporate, securitized and treasury—posted negative returns for the fiscal period.

IHYD    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Corporate Income Defensive ETF (IHYD)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco Corporate Income Defensive ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Invesco High Yield Defensive Index (the “Index”). The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index.

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index, which is designed to provide exposure to U.S. corporate bonds having the highest “quality scores” within an eligible universe of U.S. high yield bonds (commonly known as “junk bonds”) and bonds with the lowest credit rating considered investment grade, all as determined by the Index Provider using its methodology described below.

In selecting components for inclusion in the 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 Index, bonds must (i) be rated higher than B- and lower than or equal to BBB- (or equivalent) by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) credit rating agencies; (ii) have at least $400 million 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 (“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 Index. The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (July 25, 2018) through August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 1.04%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.88%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.89%. During the fiscal period, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to a positive impact as a result of the Fund’s sampling methodology, partially offset by fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund during the period.

During this same time period, the iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 1.10%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 1000 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 High Yield fixed-coupon, step-up, sinking funds, medium term notes, callable and puttable bonds.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bonds selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the oil & gas industry and most underweight in the media industry during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being underweight in the media industry as well as fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the oil & gas industry contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the telecommunication services and utilities industries, respectively. In addition to the media industry, healthcare and wireless telecommunications were other detracting industries.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Marble II Pte. Ltd., 5.30% coupon, due 06/20/2022, a software company (portfolio average weight of 0.63%), and Avon International Operations, Inc., 7.875% coupon, due 08/15/2022, a cosmetics/personal care company (portfolio average weight of 0.66%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included QEP Resources, Inc., 5.25% coupon, due 05/01/2023, an oil & gas company (portfolio average weight of 0.63%) and ZF North America Capital, Inc., 4.75% coupon, due 04/29/2025, an auto parts & equipment company (portfolio average weight of 0.57%).

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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.23% 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.

Index and Benchmark Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index and Benchmark Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark Index 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.

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (July 25, 2018) through August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.91%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.75%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.79%. During the fiscal period, 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, as well as trading costs associated with portfolio rebalances during the period.

During this same time period, the iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 1.10%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 1000

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 High Yield fixed-coupon, step-up, sinking funds, medium term notes, callable and puttable bonds.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the oil & gas industry and most underweight in the media industry during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being underweight in the technology industry as well as fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the retail industry contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the electronic and energy equipment industries, respectively. In addition to the technology industry, media and oil & gas industries were among other detracting sectors.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Hertz Corp., 5.50% coupon, due 10/24/2024, a commercial services company (portfolio average weight of 0.47%), and Match Group, Inc., 5.00% coupon, due 12/15/2027, an internet company (portfolio average weight of 0.46%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Diebold Nixdorf, Inc., 8.50% coupon, due 04/15/2024, a technology company (no longer held at fiscal period-end), and Ultra Resources, Inc., 6.875% coupon, due 04/15/2022, an oil & gas company (portfolio average weight of 0.36%).

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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.23% 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.

Index and Benchmark Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index and Benchmark Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark Index 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.

IEMD    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Defensive ETF (IEMD)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Defensive ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Defensive Index (the “Index”). The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index.

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index, which is designed to provide exposure to emerging markets debt securities having the highest “quality scores” (within the eligible universe of emerging market debt securities) as determined by the Index Provider using its methodology described below.

In selecting components for inclusion in the Index, the Index Provider begins with an investment universe of all U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued by sovereign governments, and agencies thereof, of countries that the Index Provider considers to be “emerging market countries.” To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, bonds must (i) be rated higher than B- (or equivalent) by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) credit rating agencies; (ii) have at least $500 million outstanding, with only the largest five bonds 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”) or Regulation S (“Reg S securities”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and bonds registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) are all eligible for inclusion in the Index. The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (July 25, 2018) through August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (0.06)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (0.06)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (0.06)%. During the fiscal period, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, matched the return of the Index primarily due to a positive impact of the Fund’s sampling methodology offset by fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund during the period.

During this same time period, the JP Morgan Emerging Market Bond Global Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned (1.76)%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 670 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. dollar-denominated bond market in emerging market countries.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the country of China and most underweight in the country of Argentina during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s overperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the over allocation to the country of China and the under allocation to the country of Argentina.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the country of Argentina contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the country of Turkey and the country of Ecuador, respectively. The country of Russia detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the country of Peru and the country of Philippines, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Asian Development Bank, 2.00% coupon, due 02/16/2022, a financials company (portfolio average weight of 1.27%) and Asian Development Bank, 2.25% coupon, due 01/20/2021, a financials company (portfolio average weight of 1.29%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Hazine Mustesarligi Varlik Kiralama, 4.251% coupon, due 06/08/2021, a REIT company (portfolio average weight of 1.50%) and Federative Republic of Brazil, 4.875% coupon, due 01/22/2021, a sovereign bond (no longer held at fiscal period-end).

As an index fund, the Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Value ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Value Index (the “Index”). The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index.

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index, which is designed to provide exposure to higher value, emerging markets debt securities. Higher value bonds are characterized as those with higher yields that may provide greater returns in certain markets. In addition, the Index seeks to incorporate securities with the highest “quality scores” (within the eligible universe of emerging market debt securities) as determined by the Index Provider using its methodology described below.

In selecting components for inclusion in the Index, the Index Provider begins with an investment universe of all U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued by sovereign governments, and agencies thereof, of countries that the Index Provider considers to be “emerging market countries.” To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, bonds must (i) be rated higher than B- (or equivalent) by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc.

The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (July 25, 2018) through August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned (1.75)%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned (1.68)%. During the same time period, the Index returned (1.90)%. During the fiscal period, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to a positive impact as a result of the Fund’s sampling methodology, partially offset by fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund during the period.

During this same time period, the JP Morgan Emerging Market Bond Global Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned (1.76)%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market

capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 670 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. dollar-denominated bond market in emerging market countries.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the country of Indonesia and most underweight in the country of India during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to over allocation to the country of Turkey and under allocation to the country of Malaysia.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the country of Argentina contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the country of Ecuador and the country of Venezuela, respectively. The country of Turkey detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the country of Brazil and the country of Russia, respectively.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Republic of Poland, 3.25% coupon, due 04/06/2026, a sovereign bond (portfolio average weight of 1.59%) and PT Saka Energi Indonesia, 4.45% coupon, due 05/05/24, an energy company (no longer held at fiscal period-end). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Republic of Turkey, 6.00% coupon, due 03/25/2027, a sovereign bond (portfolio average weight of 1.44%) and Republic of Turkey, 7.375% coupon, due 02/05/2025, a sovereign bond (portfolio average weight of 1.30%).

   Invesco Investment Grade Defensive ETF (IIGD)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco Investment Grade Defensive ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Invesco Investment Grade Defensive Index (the “Index”). The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index.

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index, which is designed to provide exposure to U.S. investment grade bonds having the highest “quality scores” (within the eligible universe of U.S. investment grade bonds) as determined by the Index Provider using its methodology described below.

In selecting components for inclusion in the 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 Index, bonds must (i) be rated higher than BBB- (or equivalent) by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) credit rating agencies; (ii) have at least $600 million 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; (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 (“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 Index. The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (July 25, 2018) through August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.83%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.71%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.70%. During the fiscal period, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to a positive impact as the result of the Fund’s sampling methodology, partially offset by fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund during the period.

During this same time period, the iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 0.57%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 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 broad-based U.S. corporate bond market.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the capital goods industry and most underweight in the banking industry during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being overweight in the capital goods and insurance industries.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the banking industry contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer non-cyclical sector and capital goods industry, respectively. No sectors or industries detracted from the Fund’s performance during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Ventas Realty, L.P., a real estate company (no longer held at fiscal period-end), and Burlington North Santa Fe LLC, a transportation company (portfolio average weight of 1.66%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included PSEG Power, LLC, a utilities company (no longer held at fiscal period-end), and Southern California Edison, Co., an electric 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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.13% 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.

Index and Benchmark Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index and Benchmark Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark Index 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.

IIGV    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Investment Grade Value ETF (IIGV)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco Investment Grade Value ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Invesco Investment Grade Value Index (the “Index”). The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index.

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index, which is designed to provide exposure to higher value, U.S. investment grade bonds. Higher value bonds are characterized as those with higher yields that may provide greater returns in certain markets. In addition, the Index seeks to incorporate securities with the highest “quality scores” (within the eligible universe of U.S. investment grade bonds) as determined by the Index Provider using its methodology described below.

In selecting components for inclusion in the 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 Index, bonds must (i) be rated higher than BBB- (or equivalent) by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) credit rating agencies; (ii) have at least $600 million 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; (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 (“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 Index. The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (July 25, 2018) through August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.78%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.82%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.87%. During the fiscal period, 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, as well as trading costs associated with portfolio rebalances during the period.

During this same time period, the iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 0.57%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 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 broad-based U.S. corporate bond market.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the insurance industry and most underweight in the banking industry during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being overweight in the insurance industry as well as overweight basic industry.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the information technology sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer non-cyclical sector and insurance industry, respectively. No sectors or industries detracted from the Fund’s performance during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Pacific Gas & Electric, Co., an electric company (portfolio average weight of 1.19%), and PPG Industries, Inc., a chemicals company (portfolio average weight of 1.60%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Ford Motor Co., an auto manufacturers company (portfolio average weight of 1.55%), and Brighthouse Financial, Inc., an insurance company (portfolio average weight of 1.44%).

IMFC    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Multi-Factor Core Fixed Income ETF (IMFC)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco Multi-Factor Core Fixed Income ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Invesco Multi-Factor Core Index (the “Index”). The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index.

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index, which is designed to provide multi-factor exposure to fixed income securities.

The Index is an index of indexes, comprised of component securities of the following indexes (each, a “Sub-Index”), with corresponding fixed, target weightings in the Index: (i) Invesco U.S. Fixed Rate 30-Year MBS Index (40% weight); (ii) Invesco Investment Grade Defensive Index (25% weight); (iii) Invesco U.S. Treasury 1-3 Years Index (20% weight); (iv) Invesco U.S. Treasury 10-30 Years Index (10% weight); and (v) Invesco Investment Grade Value Index (5% weight). The Index will typically include between 400-1,000 securities. The securities in the Index are weighted in accordance with the methodology of each Sub-Index. The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (July 25, 2018) through August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.74%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.62%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.61%. During the fiscal period, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to a positive impact as a result of the Fund’s sampling methodology, partially offset by fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund during the period.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 0.62%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 10,000 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 investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in securitized products and most underweight in U.S. Treasuries during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The performance

of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, securitized products contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the industrial and financial institutions sectors, respectively. U.S. Treasuries, government-related securities and bond issuers within the utilities sector detracted from the Fund’s return.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included a Freddie Mac Gold 30yr Giant, 3.50% coupon, due 04/01/2047, a mortgage-backed securities pass-through (portfolio average weight of 1.22%), and a Freddie Mac Gold 30yr Giant, 3.50% coupon, due 09/01/2047, a mortgage-backed securities pass-through (portfolio average weight of 1.11%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Metropolitan Life Global Funding I, 2.50% coupon, due 12/03/2020, a life insurance company (portfolio average weight of 0.69%), and Freddie Mac Gold 30yr Giant, 5.00% coupon, due 08/08/2044, a mortgage-backed securities pass-through (portfolio average weight of 0.35%).

As an index fund, the Invesco Multi-Factor Core Plus Fixed Income ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Invesco Multi-Factor Core Plus Index (the “Index”). The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index.

Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index, which is designed to provide multi-factor exposure to fixed income securities.

The Index is an index of indexes, comprised of component securities of the following indexes (each, a “Sub-Index”), with corresponding fixed, target weightings in the Index: (i) Invesco High Yield Defensive Index (30% weight); (ii) Invesco Investment Grade Defensive Index (20% weight); (iii) Invesco U.S. Fixed Rate 30-Year MBS Index (20% weight); (iv) Invesco Investment Grade Value Index (10% weight); (v) Invesco U.S. Treasury 10-30 Years Index (10% weight); (vi) Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Defensive Index (5% weight); and (vii) Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Value Index (5% weight). The Index will typically include between 500-1,000 securities. The securities in the Index are weighted in accordance with the methodology of each Sub-Index. The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (July 25, 2018) through August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.53%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.53%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.63%. During the fiscal period, 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 in addition to a negative impact as a result of the Fund’s sampling methodology, as well as trading costs associated with portfolio rebalances during the period.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 0.62%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 10,000 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 investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the industrials sector and most underweight in U.S. Treasuries during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being overweight in government-related securities as well as fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the industrials sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return. Government-related securities and U.S. Treasuries detracted from the Fund’s return.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Marble II PTE, Ltd., 5.30% coupon, due 06/20/2022, a software company (portfolio average weight of 0.39%), and US Treasury Bond, 4.75% coupon, due 02/15/2041 (portfolio average weight of 0.52%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Turkiye Halk Bankasi AS, 5.00% coupon, due 07/13/2021, a bank company (portfolio average weight of 0.24%), and Turkiye Vakiflar Bankasi T.A.O, 6.00% coupon, due 11/01/2022, a bank company (portfolio average weight of 0.24%).

Fund Inception: July 25, 2018

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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.16% 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.

Index and Benchmark Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index and Benchmark Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark Index 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.

Notes Regarding Indexes and Fund Performance History:

 

-

Cumulative Inception returns for the Fund, Index and Benchmark Index are based on the inception date of the Fund.

Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust

August 31, 2018

 

Note 1. Organization

Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust (the “Trust”), formerly PowerShares Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust, was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on October 30, 2015 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). This report includes the following portfolios:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

Invesco Corporate Income Defensive ETF (IHYD)*    “Corporate Income Defensive ETF”
Invesco Corporate Income Value ETF (IHYV)*    “Corporate Income Value ETF”
Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Defensive ETF (IEMD)*    “Emerging Markets Debt Defensive ETF”
Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Value ETF (IEMV)*    “Emerging Markets Debt Value ETF”
Invesco Investment Grade Defensive ETF (IIGD)*    “Investment Grade Defensive ETF”

Invesco Multi-Factor Core Fixed Income ETF (IMFC)*    “Multi-Factor Core Fixed Income ETF”
Invesco Multi-Factor Core Plus Fixed Income ETF (IMFP)*    “Multi-Factor Core Plus Fixed Income ETF”

 

*

Commenced operations on July 23, 2018.

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc.

The market price of each Share may differ to some degree from a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of its respective Index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

Corporate Income Defensive ETF    Invesco High Yield Defensive Index
Corporate Income Value ETF    Invesco High Yield Value Index

Investment Grade Defensive ETF    Invesco Investment Grade Defensive Index
Investment Grade Value ETF    Invesco Investment Grade Value Index
Multi-Factor Core Fixed Income ETF    Invesco Multi-Factor Core Index
Multi-Factor Core Plus Fixed Income ETF    Invesco Multi-Factor Core Plus Index

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies:

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is generally valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded or, lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices

 

 

  82  

 


 

 

from the exchange on which they are principally traded, or at the final settlement price set by such exchange. Swaps and options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source. For purposes of determining NAV per Share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investment companies are valued using such company’s NAV per share, unless the shares are exchange-traded, in which case they are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts’) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”), formerly Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC, determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, a Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value exchange-traded equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans, and unlisted equity securities.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess of their Underlying Indexes. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk. Only Authorized Participants (“APs”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with each Fund. Each Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as APs, and such APs have no obligation to submit

 

 

  83  

 


 

 

creation or redemption orders. Consequently, there is no assurance that those APs will establish or maintain an active trading market for the Shares. This risk may be heightened to the extent that securities underlying each Fund are traded outside a collateralized settlement system. In that case, APs may be required to post collateral on certain trades on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of APs may be able to do. In addition, to the extent that APs exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to each Fund and no other AP is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, this may result in a significantly diminished trading market for Fund Shares, which may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and to face trading halts and/or delisting. This risk may be heightened for each Fund because it invests in non-U.S. securities, which may have lower trading volumes.

Changing Fixed-Income Market Conditions Risk. The current historically low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near, at or below zero. The “tapering” in 2015 of the FRB’s quantitative easing program, combined with the FRB’s raising of the target range for the Federal Funds Rate (and possible continued fluctuations in equivalent foreign rates) may expose fixed-income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed-income investments, particularly those with longer maturities, although it is difficult to predict the impact of this rate increase and any future rate increases on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed-income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed-income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Funds’ transaction costs.

Fixed-Income Securities Risk. Fixed-income securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a fixed-income security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up. Fixed-income securities with longer maturities typically are more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than securities with shorter maturities. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable and/or unwilling to make timely interest payments and/or repay the principal on its debt. Debt instruments are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which may be reflected in credit ratings. There is a possibility that the credit rating of a fixed-income security may be downgraded after purchase, which may adversely affect the value of the security.

Call Risk. If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of callable securities with high interest coupons will “call” (or prepay) their bonds before their maturity date. If an issuer exercised such a call during a period of declining interest rates, a Fund may have to replace such called security with a lower yielding security. If that were to happen, such Fund’s net investment income could fall.

Industry Concentration Risk. Each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or sector. To the extent that each Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, each Fund faces more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. Such industry-based risks, any of which may adversely affect the companies in which each Fund invests, may include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic conditions or cyclical market patterns that could negatively affect supply and demand in a particular industry; competition for resources, adverse labor relations, political or world events; obsolescence of technologies; and increased competition or new product introductions that may affect the profitability or viability of companies in an industry. In addition, at times, such industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole.

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

Non-Correlation Risk. Each Fund’s return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. To the extent that a Fund issues and redeems Creation Units principally for cash, it will incur higher costs in buying and selling securities than if it issued and redeemed Creation Units principally in-kind. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

Sampling Risk. Each Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach will result in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in its respective Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development with respect to an issuer of securities that a Fund holds could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if a Fund held all of the securities in its Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in a Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater.

Cash Transaction Risk. Most ETFs generally make in-kind redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. However, unlike most ETFs, each Fund currently intends to effect creations and redemptions principally for

 

 

  84  

 


 

 

cash, rather than principally in-kind, due to the nature of each Fund’s investments. As such, each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. Therefore, each Fund may recognize a capital gain on these sales that might not have been incurred if the Fund had made a redemption in-kind. This may decrease the tax efficiency of the Fund compared to ETFs that utilize an in-kind redemption process and there may be a substantial difference in the after-tax rate of the return between the Fund and conventional ETFs.

Foreign Investment Risk. For Emerging Markets Debt Defensive ETF, Emerging Markets Debt Value ETF and Multi-Factor Core Plus Fixed Income ETF, investments in the securities of non-U.S issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. Foreign securities may have relatively low market liquidity, greater market volatility, decreased publicly available information and less reliable financial information about issuers. Foreign securities also are subject to the risks of expropriation, nationalization, political instability, local taxation, potential currency transfer restrictions or other adverse political or economic developments and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries. These risks may be exacerbated in emerging market countries. If a Fund invests in securities denominated in foreign currencies, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of other currencies may adversely affect investments in foreign securities and may negatively impact the Fund’s returns. Such risks may be exacerbated in emerging markets, where securities laws are relatively new and unsettled.

Valuation Risk. For Emerging Markets Debt Defensive ETF, Emerging Markets Debt Value ETF and Multi-Factor Core Plus Fixed Income ETF, financial information related to securities of non-U.S. issuers may be less reliable than information related to securities of U.S. issuers, which may make it difficult to obtain a current price for a non-U.S. security held by a Fund. In certain circumstances, market quotations may not be readily available for some Fund securities, and those securities may be fair valued. The value established for a security through fair valuation may be different from what would be produced if the security had been valued using market quotations. Fund securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that a Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that a Fund would incur a loss because a security is sold at a discount to its established value.

Global Bonds Risk. Emerging Markets Debt Defensive ETF, Emerging Markets Debt Value ETF and Multi-Factor Core Plus Fixed Income ETF invest in global bonds. Global bonds are subject to the same risks as other debt issues, notably credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Generally, investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability. Foreign issuers often are subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping than are U.S. securities and, therefore, not all material information regarding these issuers will be available. Securities exchanges or foreign governments may adopt rules or regulations that may negatively impact a Fund’s ability to invest in foreign securities or may prevent the Fund from repatriating its investments. In addition, a Fund may not receive shareholder communications or be permitted to vote the securities that it holds, as the issuers may be under no legal obligation to distribute them.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund

 

 

  85  

 


 

 

may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

The Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to each Fund’s investments. As such, the Funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statements of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of each Fund’s NAV and, accordingly, they reduce each Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between each Fund and the Adviser.

E. Country Determination

For the purposes of presentation in the Schedules of Investments, the Adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include whether each Fund’s Underlying Index has made a country determination and may include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

F. Expenses

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

Expenses of the Trust that are excluded from a Fund’s unitary management fee and are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are excluded from each Fund’s unitary management fee and that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

G. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders monthly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal year-end.

H. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

I. Foreign Currency Translations

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

 

 

  86  

 


 

 

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

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

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser on behalf of each Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services.

As compensation for its services, each Fund accrues daily and pays monthly to the Adviser an annual unitary management fee. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The unitary management fee is paid by each Fund to the Adviser at the following rates:

 

     % of Average Daily
Net Assets
 
Corporate Income Defensive ETF      0.23
Corporate Income Value ETF      0.23
Emerging Markets Debt Defensive ETF      0.29
Emerging Markets Debt Value ETF      0.29
Investment Grade Defensive ETF      0.13
Investment Grade Value ETF      0.13
Multi-Factor Core Fixed Income ETF      0.12
Multi-Factor Core Plus Fixed Income ETF      0.16

Further, through August 31, 2020, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of each Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). The Adviser cannot discontinue this waiver prior to its expiration.

For the period July 23, 2018 to August 31, 2018, the Adviser waived fees for each Fund in the following amounts:

 

Corporate Income Defensive ETF    $ 24  
Corporate Income Value ETF      10  
Emerging Markets Debt Defensive ETF      1  
Emerging Markets Debt Value ETF      7  
Investment Grade Defensive ETF      34  
Investment Grade Value ETF      19  
Multi-Factor Core Fixed Income ETF      173  
Multi-Factor Core Plus Fixed Income ETF      593  

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Funds are not charged any fees pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Adviser has entered into licensing agreements on behalf of each Fund with Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Licensor”).

Each Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the Licensor. These trademarks have been licensed to the Adviser for use by the Funds. Each Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to the Trust’s sub-licensing agreement with the Adviser. The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensor, and the Licensor makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of the Funds.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund.

Note 4. Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by each Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. For the period July 23, 2018 to August 31, 2018, the following Funds engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed below:

 

     Securities Purchases      Securities Sales      Net Realized Gain (Loss)  
Corporate Income Defensive ETF    $ 40,200      $      $  
Corporate Income Value ETF             40,200        200  
Investment Grade Defensive ETF      99,040                
Investment Grade Value ETF             99,040        282  

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 —

Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 —

Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

  Level 3 —

Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect a Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

Except for the Funds listed below, as of August 31, 2018, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedules of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the period July 23, 2018 to August 31, 2018, there were no transfers between valuation levels.

Note 8. Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of in-kind transactions and expired capital loss carryforwards, amounts were reclassified between undistributed net investment income and undistributed net realized gain (loss). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets of each Fund. For the period July 23, 2018 to August 31, 2018, the reclassifications were as follows:

Note 9. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act (an “Independent Trustee”), any Trustee who is not an affiliate of the Adviser or Distributor (or any of their affiliates) and who is otherwise an “interested person” of the Trust under the 1940 Act (an “Unaffiliated Trustee”) and an Officer of the Trust. The Adviser, as a result of each Fund’s unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Trustee who is an “interested person” of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, each Independent Trustee or Unaffiliated Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select Invesco Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the Plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 10. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 100,000 Shares (50,000 Shares for Investment Grade Defensive ETF and Investment Grade Value ETF). Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Fund. Such transactions are generally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash. However, the Funds also reserve the right to permit or require Creation Units to be issued in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”).

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with the Trust’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Certain transaction fees may be charged by the Funds for creations and redemptions, which are treated as increases in capital.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 11. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee and Unaffiliated Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between such trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust and Shareholders of Invesco Corporate Income Defensive ETF, Invesco Corporate Income Value ETF, Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Defensive ETF, Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Value ETF, Invesco Investment Grade Defensive ETF, Invesco Investment Grade Value ETF, Invesco Multi-Factor Core Fixed Income ETF and Invesco Multi-Factor Core Plus Fixed Income ETF

 

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Invesco Corporate Income Defensive ETF, Invesco Corporate Income Value ETF, Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Defensive ETF, Invesco Emerging Markets Debt Value ETF, Invesco Investment Grade Defensive ETF, Invesco Investment Grade Value ETF, Invesco Multi-Factor Core Fixed Income ETF and Invesco Multi-Factor Core Plus Fixed Income ETF (eight of the funds constituting Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2018, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the period July 23, 2018 (commencement of investment operations) through August 31, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of August 31, 2018, and the results of each of their operations, changes in each of their net assets, and each of the financial highlights for the period July 23, 2018 (commencement of investment operations) through August 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended August 31, 2018.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by a Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) 

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 23, 2018 (commencement of investment operations) through August 31, 2018, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

(2) 

Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the period July 23, 2018 (commencement of investment operations) to August 31, 2018. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 40/365. Hypothetical expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 184/365.

At a meeting held on June 14, 2018, the Board of Trustees of the Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust (the “Trust”), including the Independent Trustees, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust for the funds listed above (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).

The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, (ii) the proposed unitary advisory fee for each Fund and comparisons to amounts paid by other comparable registered investment companies, (iii) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows, (iv) whether the fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, and (v) any benefits to be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions to be performed by the Adviser for each Fund, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support that would be provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds, and they considered the quality of services provided by the Adviser to other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Trustees also reviewed information related to the Adviser’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures, as well as reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying indexes and the performance of other ETFs for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser.

The Trustees also considered the services to be provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds’ administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function for the other ETFs and that was expected to be provided for each Fund.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to each Fund under the Agreement were expected to be appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) databases on the median net expense ratios of comparable passive ETFs, open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end (non-ETF) actively managed funds. The Trustees noted that the proposed unitary advisory fees for Invesco BulletShares 2028 Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco Investment Grade Defensive ETF and Invesco Investment Grade Value ETF were compared to information on the median net expense ratios of peer funds in two Lipper classifications, Corporate Debt Funds A-Rated and Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated, that the proposed advisory fee for Invesco Strategic Developed ex-US ETF was compared to information on the median net expense ratios of peer funds in two Lipper classifications, International Multi-Cap Core Funds and International Large-Cap Core Funds and that the proposed advisory fee for Invesco Strategic US ETF was compared to information on the median net expense ratios of peer funds in two Lipper classifications, Multi-Cap Core Funds and Large-Cap Core Funds. The Trustees further noted that the fee data provided by the Adviser included only two passive peer ETFs and only one open-end index peer for certain Funds. The Trustees also considered fee and expense data on Adviser-identified selected peers. The Trustees noted that the fee data provided by the Adviser for certain Funds included only two or three Adviser-identified selected peers.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

The Trustees noted that the proposed annual advisory fee to be charged to each Fund was a unitary fee, and that the Adviser has agreed to pay all other expenses of each Fund except for the fee payment under the Agreement, payments under the Fund’s 12b-1 plan, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The Trustees noted each Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee as compared to the median net expense ratio of its peer group(s) and select peer group as shown below:

The information provided by the Adviser indicated that certain Funds did not have any comparable passive ETF fund peers. Those Funds have been designated with an “N/A” for not available.

 

2 

The information provided by the Adviser indicated that certain Funds did not have any comparable open-end index fund peers. Those Funds have been designated with an “N/A” for not available.

The Trustees noted that the proposed unitary advisory fee for all of the Funds were lower than the median net expense ratios of their open-end actively-managed peer funds. The Trustees considered each Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee in light of the administrative, operational and management oversight services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee to be charged to each Fund is reasonable and appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees considered that the Adviser did not provide a profitability analysis for the Adviser in managing the Funds because the Funds had not yet commenced operations. However, the Trustees noted other information the Board received at its April 2018 meeting on the Adviser’s overall profitability from its relationship with other ETFs for which it serves as investment adviser.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of each Fund would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but that a unitary advisory fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for each Fund. The Trustees considered whether the proposed unitary advisory fee rate for each Fund is reasonable in relation to the proposed services and product strategy of each Fund, and they concluded that the unitary advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

Fall-Out Benefits. The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it would derive from its relationships with the Fund, and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements. The Trustees considered that an affiliate of the Adviser, Invesco Indexing LLC, would serve as the index provider for each Fund and would be paid a licensing fee by the Adviser.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

The Market Environment

 

 

 

Fixed Income

Throughout the fiscal period, US economic data remained positive; economic growth in the second quarter of 2018 was particularly strong. The US economy continued to add jobs, pushing the unemployment rate to 3.9% at the close of the fiscal period, while inflation remained subdued.1 Against this backdrop, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised the federal funds target rate from a range of 1.00% to 1.25% at the start of the fiscal period to a range of 1.75% to 2.00% at the close of the fiscal period. This was accomplished with three 0.25% rate hikes in December 2017, and in March and June 2018.2 Working against these positive developments, however, were global macroeconomic headwinds in the form of geopolitical trade tension, sub-optimal inflation, and the lingering unknown of Brexit—the decision by UK voters to leave the European Union. These headwinds could limit future Fed rate hikes in the near-term. The Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank maintained their negative interest rates in a continued attempt to stimulate growth and inflation by encouraging investors to spend rather than save. These actions continued to drive overseas investments into higher yielding segments of the fixed income markets.

The 10-year US Treasury yield continued to move upward at the start of the fiscal period and spiked in early 2018 due to the continued strength in the global economy, the rising risks of inflation and the high probability of additional Fed rate hikes throughout the fiscal period. Due to these factors, the 10-year US Treasury note declined steadily throughout the first quarter of 2018, resulting in higher government yields and a brief move above 3.00% before normalizing near the end of the fiscal period.3 The 10-year US Treasury yield ended the fiscal period at 2.86%, 74 basis points higher than at the beginning of the fiscal period.3 (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

The broader bond market, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, fell 1.05% for the fiscal period. Poor performance was largely attributable to the broad increase in US Treasury yields, a widening of credit spreads and reduced overseas bond purchase demand during the fiscal period. All four primary sectors of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index—government-related, corporate, securitized and treasury—posted negative returns for the fiscal period.

BSCI    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco BulletShares 2018 Corporate Bond ETF (BSCI)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco BulletShares 2018 Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq BulletShares® USD Corporate Bond 2018 Index (the “2018 Index” or the “Index”). The 2018 Index is designed to represent the performance of a held-to-maturity portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds with effective maturities in the year 2018. The effective maturity of an eligible corporate bond is determined by its actual maturity or, in the case of callable securities, the effective maturity of the security is determined in accordance with the 2018 Index’s rules-based methodology. The actual maturity of a callable security may change because an issuer of a callable security may “call” or repay the amount owed under the security before its stated maturity.

The Fund has a designated year of maturity of 2018 and will terminate on or about December 31, 2018. In connection with such termination, the Fund will make a cash distribution to then current shareholders of its net assets after making appropriate provisions for any liabilities of the Fund. The Fund does not seek to distribute any predetermined amount at maturity. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in component securities that comprise the 2018 Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index. In the last six months of operation, when the bonds held by the Fund mature, the Fund’s portfolio will transition to cash and cash equivalents, including without limitation U.S. Treasury Bills and investment grade commercial paper.

The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

The Board of Trustees approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Fund from May 31 to August 31. For the fiscal period from June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.59%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.59%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.60%. During the fiscal period, 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, as well as trading costs associated with portfolio rebalances during the period.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 0.74%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a representation of fixed-rate investment-grade taxable debt.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the banking sector and most underweight in the consumer non-cyclical sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being underweight in the communications sector as well as underweight the consumer non-cyclical sector as well as fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the banking sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer non-cyclical and consumer cyclical sectors, respectively. There were no sectors which detracted from the Fund’s return during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included US Treasury Bill maturing December 20, 2018, a U.S. treasury security (portfolio average weight of 13.47%), and Citigroup, Inc., 2.50% coupon, due 09/26/2018, a banks company (portfolio average weight of 1.40%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Amgen, Inc., 6.15% coupon, due 06/01/2018, a biotechnology company (no longer held at fiscal period-end), and Fifth Third Bank Corp., 4.50% coupon, due 06/01/2018, a banking company (no longer held at fiscal period-end).

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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.10% 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.

Index and Benchmark Indexes performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index

and Benchmark Indexes returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark 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.

Notes Regarding Indexes and Fund Performance History:

 

-

Average Annualized and Cumulative Inception returns for the Fund, Index and Benchmark Indexes are based on the inception date of the Predecessor Fund.

 

-

Effective after the close of business on April 6, 2018, the Predecessor Fund was reorganized into the Fund. Fund returns shown are blended returns of the Predecessor Fund and the Fund.

 

-

The Fund has elected to use the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index to represent its broad-based index rather than the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index because the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index more closely reflects the performance of the types of securities in which the Fund invests.

BSCK    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco BulletShares 2020 Corporate Bond ETF (BSCK)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco BulletShares 2020 Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq BulletShares® USD Corporate Bond 2020 Index (the “2020 Index” or the “Index”). The 2020 Index is designed to represent the performance of a held-to-maturity portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds with effective maturities in the year 2020. The effective maturity of an eligible corporate bond is determined by its actual maturity or, in the case of callable securities, the effective maturity of the security is determined in accordance with the 2020 Index’s rules-based methodology. The actual maturity of a callable security may change because an issuer of a callable security may “call” or repay the amount owed under the security before its stated maturity.

The Fund has a designated year of maturity of 2020 and will terminate on or about December 31, 2020. In connection with such termination, the Fund will make a cash distribution to then current shareholders of its net assets after making appropriate provisions for any liabilities of the Fund. The Fund does not seek to distribute any predetermined amount at maturity. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in component securities that comprise the 2020 Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index. In the last six months of operation, when the bonds held by the Fund mature, the Fund’s portfolio will transition to cash and cash equivalents, including without limitation U.S. Treasury Bills and investment grade commercial paper.

The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

The Board of Trustees approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Fund from May 31 to August 31. For the fiscal period from June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.63%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.63%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.62%. During the fiscal period, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to the sampling approach employed by the portfolio management team.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 0.74%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a representation of fixed-rate investment-grade taxable debt.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the banking sector and most underweight in the electric sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being underweight in the communications sector, the REITs sector and energy sector as well as fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the banking sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer non-cyclical and technology sectors, respectively. There were no sectors which detracted from the Fund’s return during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included GE Capital International Funding Co. Unlimited Co., 2.342% coupon, due 11/15/2020, a diversified financial services company (portfolio average weight of 1.66%), and Allergan Funding SCS, Inc., 3.00% coupon, due 03/12/2020, a pharmaceuticals company (portfolio average weight of 0.94%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Aflac, Inc., 2.40% coupon, due 03/16/2020, an insurance company (portfolio average weight of 0.14%), and Anheuser-Busch InBev Worldwide, Inc., 5.00 % coupon, due 04/15/2020, a food & beverage company (no longer held at fiscal period-end).

Guggenheim BulletShares 2020 Corporate Bond ETF (the “Predecessor Fund”) Inception: March 28, 2012

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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.10% 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.

Index and Benchmark Indexes performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index

and Benchmark Indexes returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark 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.

Notes Regarding Indexes and Fund Performance History:

 

-

Average Annualized and Cumulative Inception returns for the Fund, Index and Benchmark Indexes are based on the inception date of the Predecessor Fund.

 

-

Effective after the close of business on April 6, 2018, the Predecessor Fund was reorganized into the Fund. Fund returns shown are blended returns of the Predecessor Fund and the Fund.

 

-

The Fund has elected to use the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index to represent its broad-based index rather than the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index because the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index more closely reflects the performance of the types of securities in which the Fund invests.

BSCL    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco BulletShares 2021 Corporate Bond ETF (BSCL)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco BulletShares 2021 Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq BulletShares® USD Corporate Bond 2021 Index (the “2021 Index” or the “Index”). The 2021 Index is designed to represent the performance of a held-to-maturity portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds with effective maturities in the year 2021. The effective maturity of an eligible corporate bond is determined by its actual maturity or, in the case of callable securities, the effective maturity of the security is determined in accordance with the 2021 Index’s rules-based methodology. The actual maturity of a callable security may change because an issuer of a callable security may “call” or repay the amount owed under the security before its stated maturity.

The Fund has a designated year of maturity of 2021 and will terminate on or about December 31, 2021. In connection with such termination, the Fund will make a cash distribution to then current shareholders of its net assets after making appropriate provisions for any liabilities of the Fund. The Fund does not seek to distribute any predetermined amount at maturity. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in component securities that comprise the 2021 Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index. In the last six months of operation, when the bonds held by the Fund mature, the Fund’s portfolio will transition to cash and cash equivalents, including without limitation U.S. Treasury Bills and investment grade commercial paper.

The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

The Board of Trustees approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Fund from May 31 to August 31. For the fiscal period from June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.81%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.67%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.63%. During the fiscal period, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to the sampling approach employed by the portfolio management team.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 0.74%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a representation of fixed-rate investment-grade taxable debt.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the banking sector and most underweight in the electric sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance, on a NAV basis, relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being underweight in the communications sector as well as fees and operating expenses the Fund incurred.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the consumer cyclical sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer non-cyclical and technology sectors, respectively. There were no sectors which detracted from the Fund’s return during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Deutsche Bank NY, 4.25% coupon, due 10/14/2021, a banks company (no longer held at fiscal period-end), and Deutsche Bank AG, 4.25% coupon, due 10/14/2021, a banks company (portfolio average weight of 0.01%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Ford Motor Credit Co. LLC, 5.875% coupon, due 08/02/2021, an automobiles manufacturers company (portfolio average weight of 0.54%), and Ford Motor Credit Co. LLC, 3.336% coupon, due 03/18/2021, an automobiles manufacturers company (portfolio average weight of 0.44%).

Index and Benchmark Indexes performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index

and Benchmark Indexes returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark 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.

Notes Regarding Indexes and Fund Performance History:

 

-

Average Annualized and Cumulative Inception returns for the Fund, Index and Benchmark Indexes are based on the inception date of the Predecessor Fund.

 

-

Effective after the close of business on April 6, 2018, the Predecessor Fund was reorganized into the Fund. Fund returns shown are blended returns of the Predecessor Fund and the Fund.

 

-

The Fund has elected to use the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index to represent its broad-based index rather than the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index because the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index more closely reflects the performance of the types of securities in which the Fund invests.

BSCN    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco BulletShares 2023 Corporate Bond ETF (BSCN)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco BulletShares 2023 Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq BulletShares® USD Corporate Bond 2023 Index (the “2023 Index” or the “Index”). The 2023 Index is designed to represent the performance of a held-to-maturity portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds with effective maturities in the year 2023. The effective maturity of an eligible corporate bond is determined by its actual maturity or, in the case of callable securities, the effective maturity of the security is determined in accordance with the 2023 Index’s rules-based methodology. The actual maturity of a callable security may change because an issuer of a callable security may “call” or repay the amount owed under the security before its stated maturity.

The Fund has a designated year of maturity of 2023 and will terminate on or about December 31, 2023. In connection with such termination, the Fund will make a cash distribution to then current shareholders of its net assets after making appropriate provisions for any liabilities of the Fund. The Fund does not seek to distribute any predetermined amount at maturity. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in component securities that comprise the 2023 Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index. In the last six months of operation, when the bonds held by the Fund mature, the Fund’s portfolio will transition to cash and cash equivalents, including without limitation U.S. Treasury Bills and investment grade commercial paper.

The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

The Board of Trustees approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Fund from May 31 to August 31. For the fiscal period from June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.88%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.84%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.85%. During the fiscal period, 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, as well as trading costs associated with portfolio rebalances during the period.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 0.74%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a representation of fixed-rate investment-grade taxable debt.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the energy sector and most underweight in the real electric sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being overweight in the energy sector and consumer non-cyclical sector.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the banking and consumer non-cyclical sectors contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return. There were no sectors which detracted from the Fund’s return during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Verizon Communications, Inc., 5.15% coupon, due 09/15/2023, a telecommunications company (portfolio average weight of 2.55%), and Shire Acquisitions Investments Ireland DAC, 2.875% coupon, due 09/23/2023, a pharmaceuticals company (portfolio average weight of 0.61%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Ford Motor Credit Co. LLC, 3.096% coupon, due 05/04/2023, an automobiles manufacturers company (portfolio average weight of 0.37%), and Ford Motor Credit Co. LLC, 4.375% coupon, due 08/06/2023, an automobiles manufacturers company (portfolio average weight of 0.45%).

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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.10% is expressed as a unitary management fee to cover operating expenses and expenses incurred in connection with managing the portfolio.

The Board of Trustees approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Fund from May 31 to August 31. For the fiscal period from June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 1.01%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 1.06%. During the same time period, the Index returned 1.00%. During the fiscal period, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to the sampling approach employed by the portfolio management team.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 0.74%.

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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.10% 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.

Index and Benchmark Indexes performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index

and Benchmark Indexes returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark 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.

Notes Regarding Indexes and Fund Performance History:

 

-

Average Annualized and Cumulative Inception returns for the Fund, Index and Benchmark Indexes are based on the inception date of the Predecessor Fund.

 

-

Effective after the close of business on April 6, 2018, the Predecessor Fund was reorganized into the Fund. Fund returns shown are blended returns of the Predecessor Fund and the Fund.

 

-

The Fund has elected to use the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index to represent its broad-based index rather than the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index because the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index more closely reflects the performance of the types of securities in which the Fund invests.

BSCQ    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco BulletShares 2026 Corporate Bond ETF (BSCQ)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco BulletShares 2026 Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq BulletShares® USD Corporate Bond 2026 Index (the “2026 Index” or the “Index”). The 2026 Index is designed to represent the performance of a held-to-maturity portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds with effective maturities in the year 2026. The effective maturity of an eligible corporate bond is determined by its actual maturity or, in the case of callable securities, the effective maturity of the security is determined in accordance with the 2026 Index’s rules-based methodology. The actual maturity of a callable security may change because an issuer of a callable security may “call” or repay the amount owed under the security before its stated maturity.

The Fund has a designated year of maturity of 2026 and will terminate on or about December 31, 2026. In connection with such termination, the Fund will make a cash distribution to then current shareholders of its net assets after making appropriate provisions for any liabilities of the Fund. The Fund does not seek to distribute any predetermined amount at maturity. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in component securities that comprise the 2026 Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index. In the last six months of operation, when the bonds held by the Fund mature, the Fund’s portfolio will transition to cash and cash equivalents, including without limitation U.S. Treasury Bills and investment grade commercial paper.

The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

The Board of Trustees approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Fund from May 31 to August 31. For the fiscal period from June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 1.34%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 1.13%. During the same time period, the Index returned 1.09%. During the fiscal period, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to the sampling approach employed by the portfolio management team.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 0.74%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a representation of fixed-rate investment-grade taxable debt.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the banking sector and most underweight in the electric sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being overweight in the consumer non-cyclical sector and banking sectors.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, consumer non-cyclical sector and banking sector contributed significantly to the Fund’s return. There were no sectors which detracted from the Fund’s return during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included HCA, Inc., 5.25% coupon, due 06/15/2026, a healthcare services company (portfolio average weight of 0.87%), and Cooperatieve Rabobank UA (Netherlands), 3.75% coupon, due 07/21/2026, a banks company (portfolio average weight of 0.98%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Ford Motor Credit Co. LLC, GMTN, 4.389% coupon, due 01/08/2026, an auto manufacturers company (portfolio average weight of 0.74%), and Synchrony Financial, 3.70% coupon, due 08/04/2026, a diversified financial services company (portfolio average weight of 0.39%).

As an index fund, the Invesco BulletShares 2028 Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Nasdaq BulletShares® USD Corporate Bond 2028 Index (the “Index”). The Index is designed to represent the performance of a held-to-maturity portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds with effective maturities in the year 2028. The effective maturity of an eligible corporate bond is determined by its actual maturity or, in the case of callable securities, the effective maturity of the security is determined in accordance with the Index’s rules-based methodology. The actual maturity of a callable security may change because an issuer of a callable security may “call” or repay the amount owed under the security before its stated maturity.

The Fund has a designated year of maturity of 2028 and will terminate on or about December 31, 2028. In connection with such termination, the Fund will make a cash distribution to then current shareholders of its net assets after making appropriate provisions for any liabilities of the Fund. The Fund does not seek to distribute any predetermined amount at maturity. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in component securities that comprise the Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index. In the last six months of operation, when the bonds held by the Fund mature, the Fund’s portfolio will transition to cash and cash equivalents, including without limitation U.S. Treasury Bills and investment grade commercial paper.

The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (August 9, 2018) through August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.30%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.35%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.40%. During the fiscal period, 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, as well as trading costs associated with portfolio rebalances during the period.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 0.39%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 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 fixed-rate investment-grade taxable debt.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the consumer non-cyclical sector and most underweight in the banking sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being overweight in the consumer cyclical sector as well as underweight in the information technology sector.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the consumer non-cyclical sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the banking and communications sectors, respectively. The natural gas sector detracted slightly from the Fund’s return during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. (Japan), 4.018% coupon, due 03/05/2028, a banks company (portfolio average weight of 3.41%), and Citigroup, Inc., 4.125% coupon, due 07/25/2028, a banks company (portfolio average weight of 3.24%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Ford Motor Co., 6.625% coupon, due 10/01/2028, an automobile manufacturers company (portfolio average weight of 1.87%), and Vodafone Group PLC (United Kingdom) 4.375% coupon, due 05/30/2028, a telecommunications company (portfolio average weight of 3.35%).

Fund Inception: August 9, 2018

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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.10% 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. See invesco.com/ETFs to find the most recent month-end performance numbers.

Index and Benchmark Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index and Benchmark Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark Index 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.

Notes Regarding Indexes and Fund Performance History:

BSJI    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco BulletShares 2018 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (BSJI)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco BulletShares 2018 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq BulletShares® USD High Yield Corporate Bond 2018 Index (the “High Yield 2018 Index” or the “Index”). The High Yield 2018 Index is designed to represent the performance of a held-to-maturity portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated high yield corporate bonds (which also may be known as “junk bonds”) with effective maturities in the year 2018. The effective maturity of an eligible corporate bond is determined by its actual maturity or, in the case of callable securities, the effective maturity of the security is determined in accordance with the High Yield 2018 Index’s rules-based methodology. The actual maturity of a callable security may change because an issuer of a callable security may “call” or repay the amount owed under the security before its stated maturity.

The Fund has a designated year of maturity of 2018 and will terminate on or about December 31, 2018. In connection with such termination, the Fund will make a cash distribution to then current shareholders of its net assets after making appropriate provisions for any liabilities of the Fund. The Fund does not seek to distribute any predetermined amount at maturity. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in component securities that comprise the Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index. There are no minimum credit rating requirements for securities that the Fund may purchase; however, the Fund will not purchase securities that are in default. In the last twelve months of operation, when the bonds held by the Fund mature, the Fund’s portfolio will transition to cash and cash equivalents, including without limitation U.S. Treasury Bills and investment grade commercial paper.

The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

The Board of Trustees approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Fund from May 31 to August 31. For the fiscal period from June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.67%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.75%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.84%. During the fiscal period, 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 and trading costs associated with portfolio rebalances during the period, partially offset by beneficial impacts from the portfolio sampling employed by the Fund.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 2.25%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of

approximately 240 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a representation of fixed-rate non-investment-grade debt.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in cash holdings and underweight in the consumer non-cyclical sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund’s cash holdings as well as the Fund’s portfolio having a significantly shorter duration compared to the Benchmark Index.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the Fund’s cash component contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the communications sector. There were no sectors which detracted from the Fund’s performance during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included US Treasury Bills maturing December 20, 2018, a US Government issued security (portfolio average weight of 50.81%), and APX Group, Inc., 7.875% coupon, due 12/01/2022, a commercial services company (portfolio average weight of 2.81%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Jaguar Land Rover Automotive PLC (United Kingdom), 5.625% coupon, due 02/01/2023, an auto manufacturers company (portfolio average weight of 1.06%), and Seven Generations Energy, Inc., 9.50% coupon, due 10/15/2018, a power generation company (no longer held at fiscal period-end).

The High Yield 2020 Index is designed to represent the performance of a held-to-maturity portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated high yield corporate bonds (which also may be known as “junk bonds”) with effective maturities in the year 2020. The effective maturity of an eligible corporate bond is determined by its actual maturity or, in the case of callable securities, the effective maturity of the security is determined in accordance with the High Yield 2020 Index’s rules-based methodology. The actual maturity of a callable security may change because an issuer of a callable security may “call” or repay the amount owed under the security before its stated maturity.

The Fund has a designated year of maturity of 2020 and will terminate on or about December 31, 2020. In connection with such termination, the Fund will make a cash distribution to then current shareholders of its net assets after making appropriate provisions for any liabilities of the Fund.

The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

The Board of Trustees approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Fund from May 31 to August 31. For the fiscal period from June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 1.81%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 1.60%. During the same time period, the Index returned 1.83%. During the fiscal period, 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, as well as trading costs associated with portfolio rebalances during the period.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 2.25%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected

for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a representation of fixed-rate non-investment-grade debt.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the basic industry sector and most underweight in the energy sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during the period can be attributed to the Fund’s shorter duration in addition to being underweight in the consumer non-cyclical 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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.42% 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.

Index and Benchmark Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index and Benchmark Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark Index 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.

BSJL    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco BulletShares 2021 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (BSJL)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco BulletShares 2021 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq BulletShares® USD High Yield Corporate Bond 2021 Index (the “High Yield 2021 Index” or the “Index”). The High Yield 2021 Index is designed to represent the performance of a held-to-maturity portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated high yield corporate bonds (which also may be known as “junk bonds”) with effective maturities in the year 2021. The effective maturity of an eligible corporate bond is determined by its actual maturity or, in the case of callable securities, the effective maturity of the security is determined in accordance with the High Yield 2021 Index’s rules-based methodology. The actual maturity of a callable security may change because an issuer of a callable security may “call” or repay the amount owed under the security before its stated maturity.

The Fund has a designated year of maturity of 2021 and will terminate on or about December 31, 2021. In connection with such termination, the Fund will make a cash distribution to then current shareholders of its net assets after making appropriate provisions for any liabilities of the Fund. The Fund does not seek to distribute any predetermined amount at maturity. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in component securities that comprise the Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index. There are no minimum credit rating requirements for securities that the Fund may purchase; however, the Fund will not purchase securities that are in default. In the last twelve months of operation, when the bonds held by the Fund mature, the Fund’s portfolio will transition to cash and cash equivalents, including without limitation U.S. Treasury Bills and investment grade commercial paper.

The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

The Board of Trustees approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Fund from May 31 to August 31. For the fiscal period from June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 2.18%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 1.85%. During the same time period, the Index returned 1.89%. During the fiscal period, 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, as well as trading costs associated with portfolio rebalances during the period.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 2.25%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected

for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a representation of fixed-rate non-investment-grade debt.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the basic industry sector and most underweight in the capital goods sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund’s shorter duration in addition to being underweight in the energy sector.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the communications sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer non-cyclical and information technology sectors, respectively. The industrial sector was the only detracting sector during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Dish DBS Corp., 6.75% coupon, due 06/01/2021, a media company (portfolio average weight of 2.07%), and T-Mobile USA, Inc., 6.50% coupon, due 01/15/2026, a telecommunications company (portfolio average weight of 2.12%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Harland Clarke Holdings Corp., 9.25% coupon, due 03/01/2021, a computers company (portfolio average weight of 0.77%), and Weatherford Bermuda, 7.75% coupon, due 06/15/2021, an oil & gas services company.

BSJN    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco BulletShares 2023 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (BSJN)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco BulletShares 2023 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq BulletShares® USD High Yield Corporate Bond 2023 Index (the “High Yield 2023 Index” or the “Index”). The High Yield 2023 Index is designed to represent the performance of a held-to-maturity portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated high yield corporate bonds (which also may be known as “junk bonds”) with effective maturities in the year 2023. The effective maturity of an eligible corporate bond is determined by its actual maturity or, in the case of callable securities, the effective maturity of the security is determined in accordance with the High Yield 2023 Index’s rules-based methodology. The actual maturity of a callable security may change because an issuer of a callable security may “call” or repay the amount owed under the security before its stated maturity.

The Fund has a designated year of maturity of 2023 and will terminate on or about December 31, 2023. In connection with such termination, the Fund will make a cash distribution to then current shareholders of its net assets after making appropriate provisions for any liabilities of the Fund. The Fund does not seek to distribute any predetermined amount at maturity. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in component securities that comprise the Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index. There are no minimum credit rating requirements for securities that the Fund may purchase; however, the Fund will not purchase securities that are in default. In the last twelve months of operation, when the bonds held by the Fund mature, the Fund’s portfolio will transition to cash and cash equivalents, including without limitation U.S. Treasury Bills and investment grade commercial paper.

The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

The Board of Trustees approved a change in the fiscal year end for the Fund from May 31 to August 31. For the fiscal period from June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 2.65%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 2.21%. During the same time period, the Index returned 2.27%. During the fiscal period, 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, as well as trading costs associated with portfolio rebalances during the period.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 2.25%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected

for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a representation of fixed-rate non-investment-grade debt.

The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index because the Fund seeks to track an Index that employs a proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the consumer non-cyclical sector and most underweight in the energy sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance, on a NAV basis, relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being underweight in the consumer cyclical sector as well as fees and operating expenses that the Fund incurred.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the communications sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the consumer non-cyclical and energy sectors, respectively. There were no sectors which detracted from the Fund’s return during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Petsmart, Inc., 7.125% coupon, due 03/15/2023, a retail consumer discretionary company (no longer held at fiscal period-end), and Sprint Corp., 7.878% coupon, due 09/15/2023, a telecommunications company (portfolio average weight of 4.08%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Rite Aid Corp., 6.125% coupon, due 04/01/2023, a retail company (portfolio average weight of 1.72%), and Weatherford International, Inc., 8.25% coupon, due 06/15/2023, an oil & gas services company.

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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.42% 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.

For the fiscal period from June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 2.34%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 2.26%. During the same time period, the Index returned 2.20%. During the fiscal period, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to the optimization approach employed by the portfolio management team.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 2.25%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 securities. The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the information technology sector and most underweight in the financials sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark Index occurred due to the Fund’s communications and energy sector weightings.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the communications sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the energy and consumer non-cyclical sectors, respectively. The information technology sector was the only detracting sector.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, included Sprint Corp., 7.125% coupon, due 16/15/2024, a telecommunications company (portfolio average weight of 2.96%), and Dish DBS Corp., 5.875% coupon, due 11/15/2024, a media company (portfolio average weight of 1.66%).

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 current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.42% 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.

Index and Benchmark Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index and Benchmark Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark Index 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.

Notes Regarding Indexes and Fund Performance History:

 

-

Cumulative Inception returns for the Fund, Index and Benchmark Index are based on the inception date of the Predecessor Fund.

 

-

Effective after the close of business on May 18, 2018, the Predecessor Fund was reorganized into the Fund. Fund returns shown are blended returns of the Predecessor Fund and the Fund.

BSJQ    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco BulletShares 2026 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (BSJQ)

 

As an index fund, the Invesco BulletShares 2026 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is passively managed and seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Nasdaq BulletShares® USD High Yield Corporate Bond 2026 Index (the “Index”). The Index is designed to represent the performance of a held-to-maturity portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated high yield corporate bonds (commonly known as “junk bonds”) with effective maturities in the year 2026. The effective maturity of an eligible corporate bond is determined by its actual maturity or, in the case of callable securities, the effective maturity of the security is determined in accordance with the Index’s rules-based methodology. The actual maturity of a callable security may change because an issuer of a callable security may “call” or repay the amount owed under the security before its stated maturity.

The Fund has a designated year of maturity of 2026 and will terminate on or about December 31, 2026. In connection with such termination, the Fund will make a cash distribution to then current shareholders of its net assets after making appropriate provisions for any liabilities of the Fund. The Fund does not seek to distribute any predetermined amount at maturity. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in component securities that comprise the Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Index Provider”) compiles and maintains the Index. In the last six months of operation, when the bonds held by the Fund mature, the Fund’s portfolio will transition to cash and cash equivalents, including without limitation U.S. Treasury Bills and investment grade commercial paper.

The Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index; instead, the Fund utilizes a “sampling” methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.

During the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception (August 9, 2018) through August 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.56%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.56%. During the same time period, the Index returned 0.48%. During the fiscal period, the Fund’s performance, on a NAV basis, differed from the return of the Index primarily due to the sampling approach employed by the portfolio management team.

During this same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 0.33%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization based on the average performance of approximately 240 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 fixed-rate investment-grade taxable debt.

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

proprietary bond selection and weighting methodology, whereas the Benchmark Index selects and weights bonds based on market capitalization.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the communications sector and most underweight in the information technology sector during the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during that period can be attributed to the Fund being overweight in the communications and energy sectors.

For the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, the communications sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the energy and consumer cyclical sectors, respectively. There were no sectors which detracted from the Fund’s return during the period.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2018, Virgin Media Secured Finance PLC (United Kingdom), 5.25% coupon, due 01/15/2026, a media company (portfolio average weight of 3.87%), and Gray Television, Inc., 5.875% coupon, due 07/15/2026, a media company (portfolio average weight of 3.97%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return during this period included Dish DBS Corp., 7.75% coupon, due 07/01/2026, a media company (portfolio average weight of 4.59%), and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (The), 5.00% coupon, due 05/31/2026, an auto parts & equipment company (portfolio average weight of 3.81%).

Commenced operations on August 7, 2018.

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc.

Effective June 4, 2018, the Funds’ names changed as part of an overall rebranding strategy whereby the PowerShares name was changed to the Invesco brand. This resulted in all references to the PowerShares name being changed to Invesco.

 

 

  214  

 


 

 

Each Fund, except BulletShares 2028 Corporate Bond ETF and BulletShares 2026 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, acquired all or substantially all of the assets and all of the stated liabilities included in the financial statements of a corresponding fund of the Claymore Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (a “Predecessor Fund”) after the close of business on April 6, 2018 (or May 18, 2018 for BulletShares 2025 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF) (each, a “Reorganization”). Each applicable Fund adopted the performance and financial information of its corresponding Predecessor Fund. Information presented prior to the close of business on April 6, 2018 (or May 18, 2018 for BulletShares 2025 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF) is that of their respective Predecessor Fund.

Each of BulletShares 2028 Corporate Bond ETF and BulletShares 2026 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF launched with a fiscal year-end of August 31. Effective August 31, 2018, the fiscal year-end of each of the other Funds changed from May 31 to August 31.

The market price of each Share may differ to some degree from a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities and/or cash, except for BulletShares 2028 Corporate Bond ETF and BulletShares 2026 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF creation units are generally issued in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each of the Funds is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies:

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is generally valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded or, lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked

 

 

  215  

 


 

 

prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded, or at the final settlement price set by such exchange. Swaps and options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source. For purposes of determining NAV per Share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investment companies are valued using such company’s NAV per share, unless the shares are exchange-traded, in which case they are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts’) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”), formerly Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC, determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, a Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value exchange-traded equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans, and unlisted equity securities.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk. Only Authorized Participants (“APs”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with each Fund. Each Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as APs, and such APs have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders. Consequently, there is no assurance that those APs will establish or maintain an active trading market for the Shares. This risk may be heightened to the extent that securities underlying each Fund are traded outside a collateralized settlement system. In that case, APs may be required to post collateral on certain trades on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of APs may be able to do. In addition, to the extent that APs exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to each Fund and no other AP is able to step forward to create

 

 

  216  

 


 

 

or redeem Creation Units, this may result in a significantly diminished trading market for Fund Shares, which may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and to face trading halts and/or delisting. This risk may be heightened for each Fund because it invests in non-U.S. securities, which may have lower trading volumes.

Industry Concentration Risk. Each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or sector. To the extent that each Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, each Fund faces more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. Such industry-based risks, any of which may adversely affect the companies in which each Fund invests, may include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic conditions or cyclical market patterns that could negatively affect supply and demand in a particular industry; competition for resources,, adverse labor relations, political or world events; obsolescence of technologies; and increased competition or new product introductions that may affect the profitability or viability of companies in an industry. In addition, at times, such industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole.

Non-Diversification Risk. Each Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer’s securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of the Shares than would occur in a diversified fund.

Issuer-Specific Changes Risk. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

Passive Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, each Fund is not “actively” managed. Therefore, it would not necessarily sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble or defaulted on its obligations under the security, or whose credit rating was downgraded, unless that security is removed from the Underlying Index. In addition, each Fund will not otherwise take defensive positions in declining markets unless such positions are reflected in the Underlying Index.

Sampling Risk. Each Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach will result in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in its respective Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development to an issuer of securities held by the Fund could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities in its Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater.

Cash Transaction Risk. Unlike most exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), BulletShares 2028 Corporate Bond ETF and BulletShares 2026 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF currently effect creations and redemptions principally for cash, rather than primarily in-kind, because of the nature of each of these Fund’s investments. As such, investments in each Fund’s Shares may be less tax efficient than investments in conventional ETFs.

High Yield Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Compared to higher quality debt securities, high yield debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer because they are generally unsecured and may be subordinated to other creditors’ claims. They are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. In addition, high yield debt securities often are issued by smaller, less creditworthy companies or by highly leveraged (indebted) firms, which generally are less able than more financially stable firms to make scheduled payments of interest and principal.

Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of debt securities that are high yield may be more complex than for issuers of higher quality debt securities, and the use of credit ratings to select high yield debt securities can involve certain risks. For example, credit rating agencies may fail to change ratings in a timely fashion to reflect events since the security was last rated.

In addition, the values of junk bonds often fluctuate more in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments than higher quality bonds. Their values can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of economic difficulty when the bonds could be difficult to value or sell at a fair price. Credit ratings on junk bonds do not necessarily reflect their actual market value.

Tracking Error Risk. The performance of each Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index for a number of reasons, including operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows and operational inefficiencies. Each Fund’s return also may diverge from the return of the Underlying Index because each Fund bears the costs and risks associated with buying and selling securities (especially when rebalancing each Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the Underlying Index) while such costs and risks are not factored into the return of the Underlying Index. Transaction costs, including brokerage costs, will decrease each Fund’s NAV to the extent not offset by the transaction fee payable by an AP. Market disruptions and regulatory restrictions could have an adverse effect on each Fund’s ability to adjust its exposure to the required levels in order to track the Underlying Index. In addition, each Fund may use a representative sampling approach, which may cause each Fund’s returns to not be as well correlated with the return of the Underlying Index as would be the case if each Fund purchased all of the securities in the Underlying Index in the proportions represented in the Underlying Index. Errors in the Underlying Index data, the Underlying Index computations and/or the construction of the Underlying

 

 

  217  

 


 

 

Index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund and its shareholders. In addition, each Fund may be unable to invest in certain securities included in the Underlying Index, or invest in them in the exact proportions in which they are represented in the Underlying Index, due to legal restrictions or limitations imposed by the governments of certain countries, a lack of liquidity on stock exchanges in which such securities trade, potential adverse tax consequences or other regulatory reasons. To the extent each Fund calculates its NAV based on fair value prices and the value of the Underlying Index is based on the securities’ closing prices (i.e., the value of the Underlying Index is not based on fair value prices), each Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index may be adversely affected. For tax efficiency purposes, each Fund may sell certain securities, and such sale may cause each Fund to realize a loss and, thus, each Fund’s performance to deviate from the performance of the Underlying Index. In light of the factors discussed above, the Fund’s return may deviate significantly from the return of the Underlying Index.

C. Country Determination

For the purposes of presentation in the Schedules of Investments, the Adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include whether each Fund’s Underlying Index has made a country determination and may include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D. Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions. In a repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security and the seller simultaneously agrees to repurchase the security on a specified future date at an agreed-upon price. The repurchase price reflects an agreed-upon interest rate during the time the Fund’s money is invested in the security. Because the security constitutes collateral for the repurchase obligation, a repurchase agreement can be considered a collateralized loan. The Funds follow certain procedures designed to minimize the risks inherent in such agreements. These procedures include effecting repurchase transactions only with large, well-capitalized and well-established financial institutions whose condition will be continually monitored. In addition, the value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a selling financial institution, the Funds will seek to liquidate such collateral. However, the exercising of the Funds’ right to liquidate such collateral could involve certain costs or delays and, to the extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the obligation to repurchase were less than the repurchase price, the Funds could suffer a loss. It is the current policy of the Funds not to invest in repurchase agreements that do not mature within seven days if any such investment, together with any other illiquid assets held by the Funds, amounts to more than 15% of each Fund’s net assets. The investments of the Funds in repurchase agreements, at times, may be substantial when, in the view of the Adviser, liquidity or other considerations so warrant.

E. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable taxes withheld by foreign countries. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis.

The Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to each Fund’s investments. As such, the Funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statements of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of each Fund’s NAV and, accordingly, they reduce each Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between each Fund and the Adviser.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders monthly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. In addition, the Funds intend to distribute any capital gains to shareholders as capital gain dividends at least annually. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal year-end.

 

 

  218  

 


 

 

G. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Funds file tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

H. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (as set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement).

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

I. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser on behalf of each Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of each Fund’s investments, managing each Fund’s business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, each Fund accrues daily and pays monthly to the Adviser an annual unitary management fee equal to a percentage of its average daily net assets as stated below. During the period April 6, 2018 through Reorganization, pursuant to an Interim Investment Adviser Agreement, BulletShares 2025 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF paid GFIA a reduced unitary fee equal to the Fund’s expenses paid by GFIA.

Prior to April 9, 2018, the Fund’s unitary management fee was 0.24%. Effective April 9, 2018 through April 19, 2018, the Adviser voluntarily agreed to waive permanently a portion of the Fund’s unitary management fee. After giving effect to such waiver, the net unitary management fee was 0.10%. Effective April 20, 2018, the Adviser contractually reduced the Fund’s unitary management fee from 0.24% to 0.10%.

Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

Prior to the Reorganization, the Predecessor Funds were managed by Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors LLC (“GFIA”) and each Predecessor Fund paid GFIA an investment advisory fee calculated at the same annualized rates as disclosed above for each respective Fund, prior to any waivers or fee reductions.

Except for BulletShares 2028 Corporate Bond ETF and BulletShares 2026 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, effective as of the Reorganization, the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of each Fund’s unitary management fee to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each Fund (excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, taxes and litigation expenses, and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding such Fund’s unitary management fee through at least (i) April 6, 2020 for each Fund except BulletShares 2025 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, and (ii) May 18, 2020 for BulletShares 2025 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF.

Additionally, through at least August 31, 2020 the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of each Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). There is no guarantee that the Adviser will extend the waiver of these fees past that date.

For the period June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, and the period after the close of business on April 6, 2018 to May 31, 2018, the Adviser waived Fund fees in the following amounts:

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Funds are not charged any fees pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser. Prior to the Reorganization, the Board of Trustees for each Predecessor Fund adopted a distribution and service plan pursuant to rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. No 12b-1 fees were paid by the Predecessor Funds under this plan.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, GFIA engaged external service providers to perform these services for each Predecessor Fund.

The Adviser has entered into licensing agreements on behalf of each Fund with Invesco Indexing LLC (the “Licensor”).

“Nasdaq” is a trademark of The Nasdaq OMX Group, Inc. and has been licensed for use in the name of each Underlying Index by the Licensor. “BulletShares®” and the name of each Underlying Index are trademarks of the Licensor and have been licensed to the Adviser for use by the Funds. Each Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to the Trust’s sub-licensing agreement with the Adviser. Prior to the Reorganization, each Underlying Index name trademark had been licensed to GFIA for use by the corresponding Predecessor Fund. The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensor, and the Licensor makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of the Funds.

Note 4. Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by each Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price.

For the period June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, the following Funds engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed below:

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 —

Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 —

Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

 

  221  

 


 

 

 

  Level 3 —

Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2018. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Each Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the period June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.

Note 7. Securities Lending

During the period June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, BulletShares 2018 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2019 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2020 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2021 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2022 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2023 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2024 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and BulletShares 2025 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF participated in securities lending. Each Fund loaned portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% (105% for international securities) of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is generally invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedules of Investments. Each Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the policy of these Funds to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, each Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to each Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or each Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to each Fund the securities loaned and each Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. Each Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to each Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. Each Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to Counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Note 9. Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of in-kind transactions amounts were reclassified between undistributed net investment income, undistributed net realized gain (loss) and shares of beneficial interest. These reclassifications had no effect on the net asset of each Fund. For the period June 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018, the reclassifications were as follows:

Note 10. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by each Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act (an ‘Independent Trustee”), any Trustee who is not an affiliate of the Advisor or Distributor (or any of their affiliates) and who is otherwise and “interested person” of the Trust under the 1940 Act (an “Unaffiliated Trustee”) and an Officer of the Trust. The Adviser, as a result of each Fund’s unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Trustee who is an “interested person” of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ Fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, each Independent Trustee or Unaffiliated Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select Invesco Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to a Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the Plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 11. Borrowing

Each Predecessor Fund to BulletShares 2018 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2019 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2020 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2021 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2022 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2023 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2024 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and BulletShares 2025 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (collectively, the “Withdrawing Borrowers”), were parties to a 364-day committed, $1,000,000,000 line of credit facility with a syndicate administered by Citibank, N.A, which was in place through October 6, 2017, at which time the line of credit was renewed with an increased commitment amount of $1,065,000,000. The Withdrawing Borrowers were permitted to borrow up to the lesser of (1) $1,065,000,000 or (2) the limits set by the prospectus for borrowings. Fees related to borrowings, if any, varied under this arrangement between the greater of Citibank’s “base rate”, LIBOR plus 1% or the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%. All Withdrawing Borrowers that participated in the line of credit paid upfront costs to renew the line of credit and a commitment fee of 0.15% on the amount of the commitment that had not been utilized. In case of borrowings from the line of credit, the Withdrawing Borrowers paid the associated interest expenses. Effective April 16, 2018 all Withdrawing Borrowers noted above except BulletShares 2025 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, and effective May 17, 2018 BulletShares 2025 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, withdrew as borrowers under the line of credit facility and all rights and obligations of the Withdrawing Borrowers terminated.

Expenses under the line of credit facility are shown in the Statements of Operations as Line of Credit Fee. There were no outstanding borrowings under this agreement during the period ended May 31, 2018.

Note 12. Capital

Shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Units of 150,000 for BulletShares 2018 Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2019 Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2020 Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2021 Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2022 Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2023 Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2024 Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2025 Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2026 Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2027 Corporate Bond ETF and BulletShares 2028 Corporate Bond ETF and 100,000 for BulletShares 2018 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2019 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2020 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2021 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2022 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2023 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2024 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BulletShares 2025 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and BulletShares 2026 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions (except for BulletShares 2028 Corporate Bond ETF and BulletShares 2026 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF) are generally exchanged for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (‘Deposit Securities”) and/or cash. Such transactions for BulletShares 2028 Corporate Bond ETF and BulletShares 2026 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF are generally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash. However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with the Trust’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Certain transaction fees may be charged by the Funds for creations and redemptions, which are treated as increases in capital.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 13. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee and Unaffiliated Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between such trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (continued)

 

Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the Invesco Exchange-Traded Self-Indexed Fund Trust, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended August 31, 2018.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) 

Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six-month period ended August 31, 2018. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 184/365. Expense ratios for the most recent six-month period may differ from expense ratios based on the annualized data in the Financial Highlights.

 

(2) 

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period August 7, 2018 (commencement of investment operations) through August 31, 2018, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

 

(3) 

Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the period August 7, 2018 (commencement of investment operations) to August 31, 2018. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 25/365. Hypothetical expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 184/365.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions to be performed by the Adviser for each Fund, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support that would be provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds, and they considered the quality of services provided by the Adviser to other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Trustees also reviewed information related to the Adviser’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures, as well as reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying indexes and the performance of other ETFs for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser.

The Trustees also considered the services to be provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds’ administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function for the other ETFs and that was expected to be provided for each Fund.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to each Fund under the Agreement were expected to be appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) databases on the median net expense ratios of comparable passive ETFs, open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end (non-ETF) actively managed funds. The Trustees noted that the proposed unitary advisory fees for Invesco BulletShares 2028 Corporate Bond ETF, Invesco Investment Grade Defensive ETF and Invesco Investment Grade Value ETF were compared to information on the median net expense ratios of peer funds in two Lipper classifications, Corporate Debt Funds A-Rated and Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated, that the proposed advisory fee for Invesco Strategic Developed ex-US ETF was compared to information on the median net expense ratios of peer funds in two Lipper classifications, International Multi-Cap Core Funds and International Large-Cap Core Funds and that the proposed advisory fee for Invesco Strategic US ETF was compared to information on the median net expense ratios of peer funds in two Lipper classifications, Multi-Cap Core Funds and Large-Cap Core Funds. The Trustees further noted that the fee data provided by the Adviser included only two passive peer ETFs and only one open-end index peer for certain Funds. The Trustees also considered fee and expense data on Adviser-identified selected peers. The Trustees noted that the fee data provided by the Adviser for certain Funds included only two or three Adviser-identified selected peers.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

The Trustees noted that the proposed annual advisory fee to be charged to each Fund was a unitary fee, and that the Adviser has agreed to pay all other expenses of each Fund except for the fee payment under the Agreement, payments under the Fund’s 12b-1 plan, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The Trustees noted each Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee as compared to the median net expense ratio of its peer group(s) and select peer group as shown below:

The information provided by the Adviser indicated that certain Funds did not have any comparable passive ETF fund peers. Those Funds have been designated with an “N/A” for not available.

2 

The information provided by the Adviser indicated that certain Funds did not have any comparable open-end index fund peers. Those Funds have been designated with an “N/A” for not available.

The Trustees noted that the proposed unitary advisory fee for all of the Funds were lower than the median net expense ratios of their open-end actively-managed peer funds. The Trustees considered each Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee in light of the administrative, operational and management oversight services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee to be charged to each Fund is reasonable and appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees considered that the Adviser did not provide a profitability analysis for the Adviser in managing the Funds because the Funds had not yet commenced operations. However, the Trustees noted other information the Board received at its April 2018 meeting on the Adviser’s overall profitability from its relationship with other ETFs for which it serves as investment adviser.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of each Fund would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but that a unitary advisory fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for each Fund. The Trustees considered whether the proposed unitary advisory fee rate for each Fund is reasonable in relation to the proposed services and product strategy of each Fund, and they concluded that the unitary advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

Fall-Out Benefits. The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it would derive from its relationships with the Fund, and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements. The Trustees considered that an affiliate of the Adviser, Invesco Indexing LLC, would serve as the index provider for each Fund and would be paid a licensing fee by the Adviser.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

A description of the Trust’s proxy voting policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available, without charge and upon request, by calling (800) 983-0903. This information is also available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“Commission”) website at www.sec.gov.

Information regarding how each Fund voted proxies for portfolio securities, if applicable, during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, is also available, without charge and upon request, by (i) calling (800) 983-0903; or (ii) accessing the Trust’s Form N-PX on the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

Quarterly Portfolios

The Trust files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings for the Funds with the Commission for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Trust’s Forms N-Q are available on the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The Registrant has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. This Code is filed as an exhibit to this report on Form N-CSR under Item 13(a)(1). No substantive amendments to this Code were made during the reporting period. There were no waivers for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has determined that the Registrant has three “audit committee financial experts” serving on its audit committee: Mr. Marc M. Kole, Mr. Gary R. Wicker, and Mr. Donald H. Wilson. Each of these audit committee members is “independent,” meaning that he is not an “interested person” of the Registrant (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and he does not accept any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Registrant (except in his capacity as a Board or committee member).

An “audit committee financial expert” is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated as an “audit committee financial expert.” Further, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not mean that a person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on a person without the “audit committee financial expert” designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or Board.

Statement of Principles

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (“Rules”), the Audit Committee of the Funds’ (the “Audit Committee”) Board of Trustees (the “Board”) is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of independent accountants (an “Auditor”). As part of this responsibility and to assure that the Auditor’s independence is not impaired, the Audit Committee pre-approves the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by each Auditor, as well as all non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Funds’ investment adviser and to affiliates of the adviser that provide ongoing services to the Funds (“Service Affiliates”) if the services directly impact the Funds’ operations or financial reporting. The SEC Rules also specify the types of services that an Auditor may not provide to its audit client. The following policies and procedures comply with the requirements for pre-approval and provide a mechanism by which management of the Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business operations.

Proposed services either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee (“general pre-approval”) or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee (“specific pre-approval”). As set forth in these policies and procedures, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Additionally, any fees exceeding 110% of estimated pre-approved fee levels provided at the time the service was pre-approved will also require specific approval by the Audit Committee before payment is made. The Audit Committee will also consider the impact of additional fees on the Auditor’s independence when determining whether to approve any additional fees for previously pre-approved services.

The Audit Committee will annually review and generally pre-approve the services that may be provided by each Auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval runs from the date of such pre-approval through June 30th of the following year, unless the Audit Committee considers a different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

The purpose of these policies and procedures is to set forth the guidelines to assist the Audit Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities.

Delegation

The Chairman of the Audit Committee (or, in his or her absence, any member of the Audit Committee) may grant specific pre-approval for non-prohibited services. All such delegated pre-approvals shall be presented to the Audit Committee no later than the next Audit Committee meeting.

Audit Services

The annual Audit services engagement terms will be subject to specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures such as tax provision work that is required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements. The Audit Committee will obtain, review and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement, the Audit Committee may grant either general or specific pre-approval of other Audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include services such as issuing consents for the inclusion of audited financial statements with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.


Non-Audit Services

The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any non-audit services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committee believes that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor, is consistent with the SEC’s Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committee’s general principles and policies as set forth herein.

Audit-Related Services

“Audit-related services” are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Funds’ financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; and assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities.

Tax Services

“Tax services” include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds’ federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committee will scrutinize carefully the retention of the Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the major business purpose of which may be tax avoidance or the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisors as necessary to ensure the consistency of Tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy.

No Auditor shall represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.

Under rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and approved by the SEC, in connection with seeking Audit Committee pre-approval of permissible Tax services, the Auditor shall:

 

  1.

Describe in writing to the Audit Committee, which writing may be in the form of the proposed engagement letter:

 

  a.

The scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the Fund, relating to the service; and

 

  b.

Any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or

 

   

fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor and any person (other than the Fund) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service;

 

  2.

Discuss with the Audit Committee the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor; and

 

  3.

Document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committee.

All Other Auditor Services

The Audit Committee may pre-approve non-audit services classified as “All other services” that are not categorically prohibited by the SEC, as listed in Exhibit 1 to this policy.

Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Established Amounts

Pre-approval of estimated fees or established amounts for services to be provided by the Auditor under general or specific pre-approval policies will be set periodically by the Audit Committee. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum estimated pre-approved fees or established amounts for pre-approved audit and non-audit services will be reported to the Audit Committee at the quarterly Audit Committee meeting and will require specific approval by the Audit Committee before payment is made. The Audit Committee will always factor in the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services and in determining whether to approve any additional fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fees or established amounts for previously pre-approved services.


Procedures

On an annual basis, the Auditor will submit to the Audit Committee for general pre-approval, a list of non-audit services that the Funds or Service Affiliates of the Funds may request from the Auditor. The list will describe the non-audit services in reasonable detail and will include an estimated range of fees and such other information as the Audit Committee may request.

Each request for services to be provided by the Auditor under the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Treasurer or his or her designee will ensure that such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee.

Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee shall be submitted to the Audit Committee jointly by the Funds’ Treasurer or his or her designee and the Auditor, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, such request is consistent with the pre-approval policies and procedures and the SEC Rules.

Each request to provide Tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee will describe in writing: (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the audit client, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement between the Auditor and any person (other than the audit client) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will discuss with the Audit Committee the potential effects of the services on the Auditor’s independence and will document the substance of the discussion.

Non-audit services pursuant to the de minimis exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee for approval, including documentation that each of the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the SEC Rules, has been satisfied.

On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will prepare a summary of all the services provided to any entity in the investment company complex as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X in sufficient detail as to the nature of the engagement and the fees associated with those services.

The Audit Committee has designated the Funds’ Treasurer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Auditor and to ensure such services are in compliance with these policies and procedures. The Funds’ Treasurer will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis as to the results of such monitoring. Both the Funds’ Treasurer and management will immediately report to the Chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of these policies and procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds’ Treasurer or senior management.

  (g)

PwC billed Invesco and Affiliates additional aggregate fees of $2,211,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 for non-audit services not required to pre-approved by the Registrant’s Audit Committee. In total, PwC billed the Registrant, Invesco and Affiliates aggregate non-audit fees of $2,946,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018.

 

  (h)

With respect to the non-audit services above billed to Invesco and Affiliates that were not required to be pre-approved by the Registrant’s Audit Committee, the Audit Committee received information from PwC about such services, including by way of comparison, that PwC provided audit services to entities within the Investment Company Complex, as defined by Rule#2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X, of approximately $25 million and non-audit services of approximately $16 million for the fiscal year ended 2018. The Audit Committee considered this information in evaluating PwC’s independence.

PwC informed the Audit Committee of the Board of the Trust (the “Audit Committee”) that it has identified an issue related to its independence under Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-X (referred to as the “Loan Rule”). The Loan Rule prohibits accounting firms, such as PwC, from being deemed independent if they have certain financial relationships with their audit clients or certain affiliates of those clients. The Trust is required under various securities laws to have its financial statements audited by an independent accounting firm.

The Loan Rule specifically provides that an accounting firm would not be independent if it receives a loan from a lender that is a record or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of an audit client’s equity securities. For purposes of the Loan Rule, audit clients include the Funds as well as all registered investment companies advised by the Adviser and its affiliates, including other subsidiaries of the Adviser’s parent company, Invesco Ltd. (collectively, the Invesco Fund Complex). PwC informed the Audit Committee it has relationships with lenders who hold, as record owner, more than ten percent of the shares of certain funds within the Invesco Fund Complex. These relationships call into question PwC’s independence under the Loan Rule with respect to those funds, as well as all other funds in the Invesco Fund Complex.

On June 20, 2016, the SEC Staff issued a “no-action” letter to another mutual fund complex (see Fidelity Management & Research Company et al., No-Action Letter) related to the audit independence issue described above. In that letter, the SEC confirmed that it would not recommend enforcement action against a fund that relied on audit services performed by an audit firm that was not in compliance with the Loan Rule in certain specified circumstances.


In an August 18, 2016 letter, and in subsequent communications, PwC affirmed to the Audit Committee that, as of the date of the letter and the subsequent communications, respectively, PwC is an independent accountant with respect to the Trust, within the meaning of PCAOB Rule 3520. In its letter and in its subsequent communications , PwC also informed the Audit Committee that, after evaluating the facts and circumstances and the applicable independence rules, PwC has concluded that with regard to its compliance with the independence criteria set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC related to the Loan Rule, it believes that it remains objective and impartial despite matters that may ultimately be determined to be inconsistent with these criteria and therefore it can continue to serve as the Trust’s registered public accounting firm. PWC has advised the Audit Committee that this conclusion is based in part on the following considerations: (1) the lenders to PwC have no influence over any Fund, or other entity within the Invesco Fund Complex, or its investment adviser; (2) none of the officers or trustees of the Invesco Fund Complex whose shares are owned by PwC lenders are associated with those lenders; (3) PwC understands that the shares held by PwC lenders are held for the benefit of and on behalf of its policy owners/end investors; (4) investments in funds such as the Invesco Fund Complex funds are passive; (5) the PwC lenders are part of various syndicates of unrelated lenders; (6) there have been no changes to the loans in question since the origination of each respective note; (7) the debts are in good standing and no lender has the right to take action against PwC, as borrower, in connection with the financings; (8) the debt balances with each lender are immaterial to PwC and to each lender; and (9) the PwC audit engagement team has no involvement in PwC’s treasury function and PwC’s treasury function has no oversight of or ability to influence the PwC audit engagement team. In addition, PwC has communicated that the lending relationships appear to be consistent with the lending relationships described in the no-action letter and that they are not aware of other relationships that would be implicated by the Loan Rule. In addition to relying on PwC’s August 18, 2016 letter and subsequent communications regarding its independence, the Trust intends to rely upon the no-action letter.

If in the future the independence of PwC is called into question under the Loan Rule by circumstances that are not addressed in the SEC’s no-action letter, the Fund may need to take other action in order for the Fund’s filings with the SEC containing financial statements to be deemed compliant with applicable securities laws. Such additional actions could result in additional costs, impair the ability of the Funds to issue new shares or have other material adverse effects on the Funds. The SEC no-action relief was initially set to expire 18 months from issuance, but has been extended by the SEC without an expiration date, except that the no-action letter will be withdrawn upon the effectiveness of any amendments to the Loan Rule designed to address the concerns expressed in the letter.

PwC advised the Registrant’s Audit Committee that PwC had identified two matters for consideration under the SEC’s auditor independence rules. PwC stated that a PwC manager and a PwC Senior Manager each held financial interests in investment companies within the Invesco Fund complex that were inconsistent with the requirements of Rule 2-01(c)(1) of Regulation S-X.

PwC advised the Audit Committee that it believes its objectivity and impartiality had not been adversely affected by these matters as they related to the audit of the Registrant. In reaching this conclusion, PwC noted, among other things, that during the time of its audit, the engagement team was not aware of the investments, neither individual was in the chain of command of the audit or the audit partners of Invesco or the Registrant, the services each individual provided were not relied upon by the audit engagement team with respect to the audit of the Registrant and the


investments were not material to the net worth of either individual or their immediate family members.
