Investment
Objective
The Invesco
Emerging Markets Enhanced ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital
appreciation.
This table
describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and
sell shares of the Fund (“Shares”). You
may pay other fees, such
as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries,
which are not reflected in the table and example below.

Example. This example
is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in
the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
The example
assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then sell all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The
example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and
that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. This example does
not include brokerage commissions that investors may pay to buy and sell
Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, your costs, based
on these assumptions, would be:
Portfolio
Turnover. The Fund
pays transaction costs, such as commissions,
when it purchases and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate will cause the Fund to incur additional
transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a
taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Total Annual Fund
Operating Expenses or in the example, may affect the Fund's performance.
As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund has not yet commenced
operations and portfolio turnover data therefore is not available.
Principal
Investment Strategies
The Fund
seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal
circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its net assets (plus the
amount of any
borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of emerging
market companies, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic
characteristics similar to such securities (the “80% investment
policy”). For purposes of the 80% investment policy, the Fund considers
emerging markets to be the countries represented in the MSCI Emerging
Markets Index (the “Benchmark”), which as of the date of this Prospectus
are: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece,
Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines,
Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and
the United Arab Emirates. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities,
including common stock, preferred stock, warrants, tracking stocks, and
depositary receipts of emerging market companies. The Fund will
generally invest in large- and mid-capitalization companies.
In
identifying and selecting investment opportunities for the Fund, the
portfolio
managers primarily rely on evaluations of a company’s fundamentals,
scoring companies using a systematic and proprietary process. The
portfolio managers review companies in the investment universe on a
company-by-company basis, which includes a fundamental analysis of a
company’s financial statements, management record, capital structure,
operations, product development and competitive position in its
industry,
among other considerations. This proprietary evaluation process is designed to
select companies that represent a mix of emerging market countries and
industries approximating the country and industry exposure of the
Benchmark; this may, at times, result in the Fund having substantial
exposure to a
particular country or industry. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of
the value of its net assets in securities of issuers in any one industry or
group of industries, except that if any industry or group of industries
accounts for more than 20% of the Benchmark, then the Fund may invest up
to 35% of its assets in that industry or group of industries.
The
portfolio managers next evaluate the companies selected for inclusion in
the portfolio in accordance with a proprietary multi-factor quantitative
investment process, which reviews each such company for value,
momentum and quality investment factors, as described below, to seek to
“enhance” the Fund’s risk-adjusted returns as compared to the Benchmark.
■
Value: This
investment factor aims to capture the potential outperformance
of companies that are perceived to be “inexpensive” relative to
sector or market averages.
■
Momentum:
This investment factor aims to capture the potential continued
outperformance of those companies whose historical share price
performance, earnings growth or other indicators have exceeded
sector or market averages.
■
Quality: This
investment factor aims to capture the potential outperformance
of companies that demonstrate a strong balance sheet and
other indicators of sound financial management relative to sector or
market averages.
The
portfolio managers use this proprietary multi-factor investment process to
rank the companies selected for the portfolio according to their attractiveness
with respect to each of the above-mentioned factors, and then look to
give greater weightings to companies with the highest value, momentum and
quality rankings. The process uses an equal-risk contribution
(“ERC”) weighting scheme, which assigns weights to each factor, so
that each factor contributes a generally equal weight to the portfolio’s
overall risk profile. Applying an ERC weighting scheme is different from an equal
weighting scheme because ERC weighting seeks to ensure broad factor
diversification at any point in time; it aims to diversify risk by reducing
exposure to a single factor. Therefore, the resulting portfolio of selected
companies does not reflect an equal weighting of the value, momentum, and
quality factors, but rather reflects an adjusted weighting that, in the
portfolio managers’ view, reflects equal contribution to the portfolio’s
overall risk profile from each such factor.
The
Fund is actively managed and seeks to exceed the performance of the
Benchmark. While the Fund will hold a number of the same constituents
as the
Benchmark, the Fund may also hold securities that are not constituents
of the Benchmark. The number of securities held by the Fund will
generally be significantly less than the number of constituents of the
Benchmark.
Therefore, it is expected that the composition of the Fund will vary
significantly from that of the Benchmark.
The
Fund is “non-diversified” and therefore is not required to meet certain
diversification requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the “1940 Act”).
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
The following
summarizes the principal risks of investing in the Fund.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Market
Risk. Securities
held by the Fund are subject to market fluctuations.
You should anticipate that the value of the Shares will decline, more or less,
in correlation with any decline in value of the securities in the Fund’s
portfolio. Additionally, natural or environmental disasters, widespread
disease or
other public health issues, war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism,
economic crises or other events could result in increased
