Fixed Income

Throughout the fiscal year, 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 3.7% at the close of the fiscal year, 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 year to a range of 2.00% to 2.25% at the close of the fiscal year. This was accomplished with four 0.25% rate hikes in December 2017, and in March, June and September 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 accommodative monetary policies by keeping real interest rates low 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 year due to the continued strength of the global economy, the rising risks of inflation and the high probability of additional Fed rate hikes throughout the fiscal year. Due to these factors, the 10-year US Treasury note continued to rise in 2018, resulting in higher government yields and a move above 3.00%.3 The 10-year US Treasury yield ended the fiscal year at 3.14%, 76 basis points higher than at the beginning of the fiscal year.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, returned -2.05% for the fiscal year. Negative 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 year.

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 year.

Global Equity

The fiscal year proved to be an increasingly volatile time for global equities. The fiscal year began in the final months of 2017 with several US stock market indexes repeatedly reaching new highs amid strong corporate profits, the prospect of tax reform legislation and exceedingly low stock market volatility. Despite a sharp uptick in volatility, particularly in October 2018, US markets, in general, still produced positive returns for the fiscal year. International markets, however, were meaningfully less robust, many experiencing flat to negative results for the fiscal year. This divergence between the US and other markets could be attributed to the strength of the US economy and the widely-held belief that the US could win trade wars with other countries.

At the beginning of 2018, markets saw significant turbulence in late January and early February, when stocks were whipsawed—first by concerns about accelerated US Federal Reserve (the Fed) tightening and then, later in the year, by fears of brewing trade wars and geopolitical tensions. After a relatively quiet summer, market volatility markedly rose again in the final month of the fiscal year. Global equity markets (particularly the US) suffered a sharp sell-off in October 2018 amid rising interest rates and concerns that higher inflation could result in a more restrictive monetary policy.

Global economic growth, in general, was solid despite weakness in emerging markets. During the fiscal year, emerging markets were impacted by both country-specific issues, as well as, more generalized pressure resulting from the Fed’s tightening policy. In this environment, economic growth unsurprisingly slowed in emerging markets. Within the eurozone, economic growth accelerated, although there was divergence among countries. In Japan, economic growth improved over the latter part of the fiscal year. The US experienced strong growth during the fiscal year due to robust consumer and business spending. In addition, unemployment rates remained low, job creation was strong and inflation remained relatively controlled.

At the close of the fiscal year, 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.

Domestic Equity

The fiscal year proved to be an increasingly volatile time for US equities. The fiscal year began in the final months of 2017 with several major US stock market indexes repeatedly reaching new highs amid strong corporate profits, the prospect of tax reform legislation and exceedingly low stock market volatility.

Stock market euphoria continued in January 2018 as US equity markets steadily moved higher. 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 markets to pull back and volatility to increase.

US equity markets generally recovered in the second quarter of 2018 as strong US retail sales and low unemployment buoyed markets. Throughout the summer, US equities moved higher as corporate profits surged. Several US equity indexes reached new highs despite potential headwinds including trade tensions, tariff announcements and contagion concerns over a Turkish currency crisis. After a relatively quiet summer, market volatility markedly rose in the final month of the fiscal year. US equity markets suffered a sharp sell-off in October 2018 amid rising interest rates and concerns that higher inflation could mean a more restrictive monetary policy. In this environment, there was a flight to safety, as investors fled to defensive areas of the market and U.S. treasuries.

Given signs of a strong economy, the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates four times during the fiscal year: in December 2017 and in March, June and September 2018.1 In contrast, the European Central Bank and central banks in several other countries maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies.

PSR    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Active U.S. Real Estate ETF (PSR)

 

The Invesco Active U.S. Real Estate ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund whose investment objective is to achieve high total return through growth of capital and current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies that are principally engaged in the U.S. real estate industry and included within the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index (the “Benchmark Index”). The Fund considers a company to be principally engaged in the U.S. real estate industry if it: (i) derives 50% of its revenues or profit from ownership, leasing, management, construction, financing or sale of U.S. real estate; or (ii) has at least 50% of the value of its assets invested in U.S. real estate. The Fund plans to invest principally in equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The Fund also may invest in real estate operating companies (“REOCs”), as well as securities of other companies principally engaged in the U.S. real estate industry. In constructing the portfolio, Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Fund’s sub-adviser, analyzes quantitative and statistical metrics to identify attractively priced securities.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.87%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 1.02%. During the same time period, the Benchmark Index returned 1.42%.

The Fund’s underperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during the period is primarily the result of security selection. In particular, security selection in data centers and health care REITs were key detractors from relative performance. A combination of security selection and overweight exposure in lodging/resorts and an overweight exposure in the timber sector also detracted from Fund performance.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, within health care REITs, an overweight exposure to Healthcare Realty Trust Inc. (portfolio average weight of 1.70%) hurt relative returns. Within data centers, an overweight exposure to QTS Realty Trust Inc. (portfolio average weight of 0.37%) (no longer held at period end) also detracted from relative returns. Within lodging/resorts, underweight exposures to Ryman Hospitality Properties Inc. and DiamondRock Hospitality Company (portfolio average weight of 0.17% and 0.20%, respectively) were key detractors. In timber, overweight exposures to CatchMark Timber Trust Inc., Rayonier Inc. and Weyerhaeuser Company (portfolio average weight of 0.10%, 0.77% and 3.52%, respectively) detracted from relative returns.

Contributors to the Fund’s relative return included security selection and underweight exposure in diversified REITs, in particular not owning Colony Capital Inc. Additionally, security selection and overweight exposure in self-storage contributed, particularly through overweight exposure in Extra Space Storage Inc. (portfolio average weight of 2.52%).

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, as supplemented to date, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.35% 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.

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

PSMB    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF (PSMB)

 

The Invesco Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) which seeks to provide current income and capital appreciation. The Fund is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it invests its assets primarily in other underlying ETFs (“Underlying ETFs”), rather than in securities of individual companies. Under normal circumstances, most of those Underlying ETFs will be ETFs that are advised by the Fund’s adviser or one of its affiliates (the “Invesco ETFs”). However, at times the Fund also may invest a portion of its assets in Underlying ETFs that are advised by unaffiliated advisers. The Fund and the Invesco ETFs are part of the same group of investment companies. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets using a balanced investment style that seeks to maximize the benefits of diversification, which focuses on investing portions of Fund assets both in Underlying ETFs that invest in fixed-income securities (“Fixed Income ETFs”) as well as in Underlying ETFs that invest primarily in equity securities (“Equity ETFs”).

Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Fund’s sub-adviser, uses the following investment process to construct the Fund’s portfolio: (1) a strategic allocation across broad asset classes (i.e., equities and fixed-income securities) and particular investment factors within those classes (e.g., for fixed-income securities, exposure to domestic, international, corporate, government, high-yield and investment grade bonds; for equity securities, exposure to domestic and international stocks); (2) selection of Underlying ETFs that best represent those broad asset classes and factor exposures, based on a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative criteria (such as management experience and structure, investment process, performance and risk metrics); (3) determination by the Fund’s sub-adviser of target weightings in each Underlying ETF in a manner that seeks to manage the amount of active risk contributed by each Underlying ETF; and (4) ongoing monitoring of the Fund’s performance and risk.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 1.12%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.89%. During the same time period, the Custom Invesco Balanced Allocation ETF Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned (0.98)%, while the S&P 500® Index returned 7.35%.

The Fund’s performance (NAV basis) differed from the return of the Benchmark Index during the period primarily because of the Fund’s lower relative exposure to emerging markets and higher exposure to investment factors such as low volatility and growth. During the same time period, the Benchmark Index posted a negative return driven by a larger allocation to international equities.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, from an asset class perspective, exposure to equities through Underlying ETFs were the largest contributors to absolute returns, led by U.S. large cap

equities. Diversification across sub-asset classes within fixed-income also contributed to relative results. In contrast, exposure to international developed equities detracted from relative performance.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s absolute return included Invesco Russell Top 200 Pure Growth ETF (portfolio average weight of 10.68%), Invesco FTSE RAFI US 1000 ETF (portfolio average weight of 13.86%) and Invesco S&P 500® Low Volatility ETF (portfolio average weight of 8.39%). Positions that posted a negative absolute return for the period included Invesco FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-US ETF (portfolio average weight of 8.32%), Invesco Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt ETF (portfolio average weight of 3.89%) and Invesco 1-30 Laddered Treasury ETF (portfolio average weight of 7.33%).

PSMC    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF (PSMC)

 

The Invesco Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) which seeks total return consistent with a lower level of risk relative to the broad stock market. The Fund is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it invests its assets primarily in other underlying ETFs (“Underlying ETFs”), rather than in securities of individual companies. Under normal circumstances, most of those Underlying ETFs will be ETFs that are advised by the Fund’s adviser or one of its affiliates (the “Invesco ETFs”). However, at times the Fund also may invest a portion of its assets in Underlying ETFs that are advised by unaffiliated advisers. The Fund and the Invesco ETFs are part of the same group of investment companies. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets using a conservative investment style that seeks to maximize the benefits of diversification, which focuses on investing a greater portion of Fund assets in Underlying ETFs that invest primarily in fixed-income securities (“Fixed Income ETFs”), but also provides some exposure to Underlying ETFs that invest primarily in equity securities (“Equity ETFs”).

Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Fund’s sub-adviser, uses the following investment process to construct the Fund’s portfolio: (1) a strategic allocation across broad asset classes (i.e., equities and fixed-income securities) and particular investment factors within those classes (e.g., for fixed-income securities, exposure to domestic, international, corporate, government, high-yield and investment grade bonds; for equity securities, exposure to domestic and international stocks); (2) selection of Underlying ETFs that best represent those broad asset classes and factor exposures, based on a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative criteria (such as management experience and structure, investment process, performance and risk metrics); (3) determination by the Fund’s sub-adviser of target weightings in each Underlying ETF in a manner that seeks to manage the amount of active risk contributed by each Underlying ETF; and (4) ongoing monitoring of the Fund’s performance and risk.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 0.31%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.39%. During the same time period, the Custom Invesco Conservative Allocation ETF Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned (1.65)%, while the S&P 500® Index returned 7.35%.

PSMG    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF (PSMG)

 

The Invesco Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) which seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it invests its assets primarily in other underlying ETFs (“Underlying ETFs”), rather than in securities of individual companies. Under normal circumstances, most of those Underlying ETFs will be ETFs that are advised by the Fund’s adviser or one of its affiliates (the “Invesco ETFs”). However, at times the Fund also may invest a portion of its assets in Underlying ETFs that are advised by unaffiliated advisers. The Fund and the Invesco ETFs are part of the same group of investment companies. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets using a growth investment style that seeks to maximize the benefits of diversification, which focuses on investing a greater portion of Fund assets in Underlying ETFs that invest primarily in equity securities (“Equity ETFs”), but also provides some exposure to Underlying ETFs that invest primarily in fixed-income securities (“Fixed Income ETFs”).

Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Fund’s sub-adviser, uses the following investment process to construct the Fund’s portfolio: (1) a strategic allocation across broad asset classes (i.e., equities and fixed-income securities) and particular investment factors within those classes (e.g., for fixed-income securities, exposure to domestic, international, corporate, government, high-yield and investment grade bonds; for equity securities, exposure to domestic and international stocks); (2) selection of Underlying ETFs that best represent those broad asset classes and factor exposures, based on a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative criteria (such as management experience and structure, investment process, performance and risk metrics); (3) determination by the Fund’s sub-adviser of target weightings in each Underlying ETF in a manner that seeks to manage the amount of active risk contributed by each Underlying ETF; and (4) ongoing monitoring of the Fund’s performance and risk.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 1.58%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 1.43%. During the same time period, the Custom Invesco Growth Allocation ETF Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned (0.72)%, while the S&P 500® Index returned 7.35%.

The Fund’s performance (NAV basis) differed from the return of the Benchmark Index during the period primarily because of the Fund’s lower relative exposure to emerging markets and higher exposure to investment factors such as low volatility and growth. During the same time period, the Benchmark Index posted a negative return driven by a larger allocation to international equities.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, from an asset class perspective, exposure to equities through Underlying ETFs were the largest contributors to absolute returns, led by U.S. large cap

equities. Diversification across sub-asset classes within fixed-income detracted from relative results. Additionally, exposure to international developed equities detracted from relative performance.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s absolute return included Invesco Russell Top 200 Pure Growth ETF (portfolio average weight of 13.71%), Invesco FTSE RAFI US 1000 ETF (portfolio average weight of 17.21%) and Invesco S&P 500® Low Volatility ETF (portfolio average weight of 10.58%). Positions that posted a negative absolute return for the period included Invesco FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-US ETF (portfolio average weight of 11.33%), Invesco S&P International Developed Low Volatility ETF (portfolio average weight of 8.18%) and Invesco 1-30 Laddered Treasury ETF (portfolio average weight of 4.75%).

   Invesco Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF (PSMM)

 

The Invesco Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) which seeks to provide current income and some capital appreciation. The Fund is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it invests its assets primarily in other underlying ETFs (“Underlying ETFs”), rather than in securities of individual companies. Under normal circumstances, most of those Underlying ETFs will be ETFs that are advised by the Fund’s adviser or one of its affiliates (the “Invesco ETFs”). However, at times the Fund also may invest a portion of its assets in Underlying ETFs that are advised by unaffiliated advisers. The Fund and the Invesco ETFs are part of the same group of investment companies. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets using a moderately conservative investment style that seeks to maximize the benefits of diversification, which focuses on investing portions of Fund assets in Underlying ETFs that invest primarily in equity securities (“Equity ETFs”), but also provides some exposure to Underlying ETFs that invest primarily in fixed-income securities (“Fixed Income ETFs”).

LALT    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF (LALT)

 

The Invesco Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that has an investment objective of seeking a positive total return that has a low correlation to the broader securities markets. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of equity securities, financial futures contracts, forward currency contracts and other securities.

Invesco Advisers, Inc., the sub-adviser to the Fund, selects investments for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio with reference to the components of the Morgan Stanley Multi-Strategy Alternative Index (the “Benchmark Index”) through a quantitative process that seeks to exceed the Benchmark Index’s performance.

Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC (the “Benchmark Agent”) develops, maintains and sponsors the Benchmark Index, which includes a combination of quantitative, rules-based strategies (the “Benchmark Strategies”). The Fund will follow the Benchmark Strategies while seeking to outperform the Benchmark Index. The Benchmark Strategies are designed to capture non-traditional risk premia across equities, rates, currencies and volatility markets. A “risk premium” is the economic concept that an investor should receive a premium (that is, a higher expected return) for bearing risk. In other words, risk premium refers to the return that is expected for assuming a particular market risk.

The Benchmark Strategies may be categorized into three types: (1) Quantitative/Stylistic Strategies, (2) Volatility Risk Premium Strategies, and (3) Carry Strategies. Quantitative/Stylistic Strategies consist of rules-based methodologies designed to identify undervalued stocks or currencies using relative valuation, fundamental analysis and publicly-available market information (such as regulatory filings regarding the equity holdings of institutional investment managers). A Quantitative or Stylistic Strategy may take a long/short position to generate market neutral returns. Volatility Risk Premium Strategies consist of rules based investment methodologies designed to capture the difference between implied (i.e., expected) and realized (i.e., actual) volatility that is often observed in equity and currency options markets. The volatility risk premium can be seen as compensation to option sellers for taking on potential risk of losses during periods when realized volatility increases suddenly. In addition, the volatility premium reflects the supply/demand imbalance often present in each asset class. Carry Strategies consist of rules-based methodologies designed to capture the forward rate bias and term premium often observed in currency, interest rate and equity volatility markets. Forward rate bias is the tendency for the markets to overestimate the amount of future price changes that might actually occur; the actual price movements tend to be smaller than the expectations as measured by forward rates.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 3.88%. On a net asset value (“NAV”)

basis, the Fund returned 4.37%. During the same time period, the Benchmark Index returned 5.06%.

The Fund underperformed the Benchmark Index on a NAV basis during the period primarily due to the fees and expenses incurred by the Fund partially offset by beneficial aspects from equity hedging as follows. The Fund tends to hold the same long equity positions as the Benchmark Index. However, the Fund hedges its equity exposure by using S&P 500 futures whereas the Benchmark Index uses a total return index. This difference provides a less costly hedge which benefits the Fund. Additionally, our equity hedging is calibrated daily as opposed to monthly for the Benchmark Index. This allows the Fund to maintain its exposure closer to market neutral when equity markets are moving significantly in either direction.

With respect to the Carry Strategy for currencies, the Fund will mimic the majority of the positions of the Benchmark Index. The index acted as a detractor from Fund performance during the period, primarily due its positioning in regards to the Australian dollar which came under pressure due to negotiations around Brexit. Going forward the strategy is positioned to benefit in stable currency markets by investing in higher yielding currencies funded with short positions in lower yielding currencies.

The Funds Volatility Risk Premium Strategy benefitted performance. The strategy performs best during periods where the term structure steepens, as shorter term futures tend to drop faster than the longer term futures. The strategy is designed to take advantage of an upward sloping futures curve by being long the longer-dated and short the near-dated futures contracts. Currently the futures curve has an upward sloping structure which is a positive environment for the strategy.

During this same time period, the HFRI Macro (Total) Index returned (2.87)% and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index returned (1.76)% (these indexes, collectively with the Benchmark Index, are referred to as the “Benchmark Indexes”). The Benchmark Indexes were selected for their recognition in the marketplace. The performance comparison of the HFRI Macro (Total) Index is a useful measure for investors as a broad representation of the alternative investment market. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index was selected because its performance is a useful measure of the broad U.S. fixed income market. The components of the HFRI Macro (Total) Index are weighted equally while the components of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index are weighted by market capitalization.

The Fund’s outperformance relative to the HFRI Macro Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index during the period can be attributed to the Fund’s positioning on Eurodollar futures, market neutral equity exposures (where performance was driven primarily by sector positioning) and positioning in the expectation of a positively-sloped VIX term structure.

The Fund’s market neutral equity sleeves modestly detracted from the Fund’s return. The US Target Equity Alpha strategy was down roughly 1% during the reporting period, while the SmartInvest Alpha strategy was roughly flat for the period.

PHDG    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF (PHDG)

 

The Invesco S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve positive total returns in rising or falling markets that are not directly correlated to broad equity or fixed-income market returns. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by using a quantitative, rules based strategy to allocate its assets among components of the S&P 500® Dynamic VEQTOR Index (the “Benchmark Index”) in a combination of (i) equity securities contained in the S&P 500® Index and that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange, (ii) Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (“VIX Index”) related instruments, such as listed VIX Index futures contracts that reflect exposure to the S&P 500® VIX Short Term Futures Index, and (iii) money market instruments, cash and cash equivalents. However, the Fund’s allocations among its investments may not correspond to those of the Benchmark Index.

Rather than adhering to the Benchmark Index’s strategy allocation rules, Invesco Capital Management LLC uses active management techniques in seeking to obtain returns that exceed the Benchmark Index by providing the Fund with higher or lower exposure to any component within the Benchmark Index at any time. In addition to its investments in the components of the Benchmark Index, the Fund may invest in other VIX Index-related instruments, including ETFs and exchange-traded notes that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange and that provide exposure to the VIX Index and U.S. listed futures contracts that track the S&P 500® Index and are listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 6.33%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 6.61%. During the same time period, the Benchmark Index returned 7.89%. The Fund’s performance (NAV basis) differed from the return of the Benchmark Index primarily due three factors. First, was active management decisions underperformed by 0.51%. Second, trade execution and slippage detracted by 0.40%. Third, fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund during the period were 0.39%.

During this same time period, the S&P 500® Index returned 7.35%, the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returned (3.53%), and the U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (the “T-Bill 3 Month Index”) returned 1.75% (these indexes, collectively with the Benchmark Index, are referred to as the “Indexes”). The Indexes were selected for their recognition in the marketplace. The S&P 500® Index was selected because its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a broad representation of the equity market. The HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index was selected because its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a broad representation of the alternative investment market. The T-Bill 3 Month Index was selected because its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a broad representation of the short-term U.S. fixed income market.

The main reason for the Fund’s underperformance compared to the S&P 500® Index is the Fund’s consistent allocation to VIX

futures which have a negative correlation to the S&P 500® Index. The main reason for the Fund’s outperformance compared to the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index was the Fund’s higher exposure to U.S. equities. The main reason for the Fund’s outperformance compared to the T-Bill 3 Month Index was the Fund’s high correlation to equity markets and allocation to VIX futures.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, the information technology sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the basic materials sector. VIX futures detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return included Apple Inc., a technology company (portfolio average weight of 3.45%), and Microsoft Corp., a technology company (portfolio average weight of 2.46%). The position that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return was Kinder Morgan Inc., an energy company (portfolio average weight of 0.18%).

GSY    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Ultra Short Duration ETF (GSY)

 

The Invesco Ultra Short Duration ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund whose investment objective is to seek maximum current income, consistent with preservation of capital and daily liquidity. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities and in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end funds that invest substantially all of their assets in fixed income securities. The Fund uses a low duration strategy to seek to outperform the ICE BofAML US Treasury Bill Index (the “Benchmark Index”) in addition to providing returns in excess of those available in U.S. Treasury bills, government repurchase agreements, and money market funds, while seeking to provide preservation of capital and daily liquidity.

The Board of Trustees approved a change in fiscal year end for the Fund from May 31 to October 31. For the fiscal period from June 1, 2018 to October 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 1.00%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 0.98%. During the same time period, the Benchmark Index returned 0.84%. The Fund’s performance differed from the return of the Benchmark Index during the period primarily due to the Fund maintaining an overweight position in short investment grade credit securities. Active positioning of U.S. corporate bonds and cash equivalent commercial paper securities were positive contributors to the Fund’s performance and specifically contributed to the differentiation of performance from the Benchmark Index.

The Fund is primarily invested in corporate bonds, commercial paper and asset-backed securities. The Fund’s high allocation to floating rate securities reduces interest rate risk while commercial paper helps the Fund manage its liquidity needs. The Fund’s focus on high-quality short maturity holdings helps the Fund manage credit risk. The Fund continues to maintain an average effective duration below one year.

Positive returns were largely driven by the Fund’s holdings in investment grade corporate bonds and asset-backed securities. These sectors benefited from strong demand and positive macroeconomic conditions. Over the period, the USD London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) increased. The Fund’s holdings in floating rate securities benefited from tightening spreads due to high demand for adjustable rate securities in anticipation of interest rate increases.

The portfolio management team believes the Fund is well positioned for additional rate hikes with a large allocation to floating rate securities and high quality assets.

Guggenheim Ultra Short Duration ETF (the “Predecessor Fund”) Inception: February 12, 2008

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 total annual operating expense ratio was indicated as 0.25%. 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.

Benchmark Indexes (as defined below) performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Benchmark Indexes returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor

cannot invest directly in an index. The 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 and Benchmark Indexes are based on the inception date of the Predecessor Fund.

 

-

Performance is shown for both the ICE BofAML US Treasury Bill Index and the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Month Treasury Bill Index (collectively, the “Benchmark Indexes”). The Fund has elected to use the ICE BofAML US Treasury Bill Index to represent its broad-based index rather than the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Month Treasury Bill Index because the ICE BofAML US Treasury Bill Index more closely reflects the performance of the types of securities in which the Fund invests. Going forward, only performance for the ICE BofAML US Treasury Bill Index will be shown.

 

-

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.

VRIG    Manager’s Analysis
   Invesco Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF (VRIG)

 

The Invesco Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) whose investment objectives are seeking to generate current income while maintaining low portfolio duration as a primary objective and capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a portfolio of investment grade, variable rate or floating rate debt securities that are denominated in U.S. dollars and are issued by U.S. private sector entities or U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities.

Invesco Advisers, Inc., the sub-adviser to the Fund, selects the following types of securities for the Fund: (i) floating rate non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”); variable rate non-agency residential MBS; variable rate agency MBS and floating rate non-agency asset-backed securities (“ABS”) (including floating rate non-agency commercial real estate collateralized loan obligations); (ii) floating rate corporate debt securities; (iii) floating rate government sponsored enterprise credit risk transfers; (iv) floating rate U.S. Government securities (including floating rate agency debt securities); (v) variable rate preferred stock; and (vi) affiliated ETFs that invest primarily in any or all of the foregoing securities (collectively, “Variable Rate Instruments”), to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 1.92%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 2.01%. During the same time period, the Bloomberg Barclays US Floating Rate Note Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 2.38%.

The Fund’s performance (NAV basis) differed from the return of the Benchmark Index during the period primarily due to the Fund maintaining an overweight position in variable rate preferred securities, ABS, and high yield corporates all of which were detractors from the Fund’s performance. Active positioning in commercial MBS (“CMBS”), agency credit risk transfer securities, non-agency residential MBS, and single-family rental securities were all positive contributors to the Fund’s performance.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, agency credit risk transfers contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by CMBS and single-family rental sector. The Fund’s overall underweight allocation to investment grade corporate securities detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return, followed by the Fund’s underweight to U.S. and foreign agency debentures.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return included two agency credit risk transfer positions, STACR 2016-HQA4 M2 (average portfolio weight of 1.87%) and STACR 2014-HQ2 M2 (portfolio average weight of 1.99%). Positions that detracted most significantly to the Fund’s return included a high

yield position, Plains All American Pipeline LP, Series B 6.125% PERP (average portfolio weight of 0.62%) and an investment grade corporate position, Prudential Financial Inc. 5.625% 6/15/2043 (average portfolio weight of 1.04%).

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

(a) 

Variable rate coupon. Stated interest rate was in effect at October 31, 2018.

(b) 

Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at October 31, 2018 was $422,512,083, which represented 26.22% of the Fund’s Net Assets.

(c) 

Foreign denominated security. Principal amount denominated in currency indicated.

(d)

Security traded at a premium.

(e) 

Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with any accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years.

(f) 

Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the 1933 Act and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days, but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank.

(g) 

Security traded on a discount basis. The interest rate shown represents the discount rate at the time of purchase by the Fund.

(h) 

The Fund may demand prepayment of the term repurchase agreement upon one to seven business days’ notice depending on the timing of the demand.

(i) 

Either party may terminate the agreement upon demand. Interest rates, principal amount, and collateral are redetermined daily.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

(a) 

Variable rate coupon. Stated interest rate was in effect at October 31, 2018.

(b) 

Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at October 31, 2018 was $133,107,893, which represented 29.72% of the Fund’s Net Assets.

(c) 

Perpetual bond with no specified maturity date.

Principal payments are determined by the delinquency and principal payment experience on the STACR® reference pool. Freddie Mac transfers credit risk from the mortgages in the reference pool to credit investors who invest in the STACR® debt notes.

(e) 

CAS notes are bonds issued by Fannie Mae. The amount of periodic principal and ultimate principal paid by Fannie Mae is determined by the performance of a large and diverse reference pool.

(f) 

Interest rate is redetermined periodically based on the cash flows generated by the pool of assets backing the security, less any applicable fees. The rate shown is the rate in effect October 31, 2018.

(g) 

The security and the Fund are advised by wholly-owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd. and are therefore considered to be affiliated. The rate shown is the 7-day SEC standardized yield as of October 31, 2018.

Invesco Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

October 31, 2018

 

Note 1. Organization

Invesco Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the “Trust”), formerly PowerShares Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on November 6, 2007 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 Active U.S. Real Estate ETF (PSR)    “Active U.S. Real Estate ETF”
Invesco Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF (PSMB)    “Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF”
Invesco Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF (PSMC)    “Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF”
Invesco Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF (PSMG)    “Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF”
Invesco Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF (PSMM)    “Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF”
Invesco Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF (LALT)    “Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF”
Invesco S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF (PHDG)    “S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF”
Invesco Ultra Short Duration ETF (GSY)    “Ultra Short Duration ETF”
Invesco Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF (VRIG)    “Variable Rate Investment Grade 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 the following exchanges:

 

Fund

  

Exchange

Active U.S. Real Estate ETF    NYSE Arca, Inc.
Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF    Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.
Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF    Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.
Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF    Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.
Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF    Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.
Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF    The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC
S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF    NYSE Arca, Inc.
Ultra Short Duration ETF    NYSE Arca, Inc.
Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF    The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC

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.

Ultra Short Duration 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 (the “Predecessor Fund”) after the close of business on April 6, 2018 (the “Reorganization”). Ultra Short Duration ETF adopted the performance and financial information of the Predecessor Fund. Information presented prior to the close of business on April 6, 2018 is that of the Predecessor Fund.

Effective October 31, 2018, the fiscal year-end changed for Ultra Short Duration ETF from May 31 to October 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 for Active U.S. Real Estate ETF, Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF and Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF are issued and redeemed principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). Creation Units for Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and Ultra Short Duration ETF are issued and redeemed principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash. Creation Units for S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF and Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF are issued and redeemed partially in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash and partially in exchange for Deposit Securities. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by authorized participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF and Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF are each a “fund of funds,” in that each invests in other exchange-traded funds (“Underlying

 

 

  68  

 


 

 

Funds”) advised by Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”), formerly Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC, or its affiliates, or other unaffiliated advisers. Each Underlying Fund’s accounting policies are outlined in that Underlying Fund’s financial statements and are publicly available.

The investment objective for Active U.S. Real Estate ETF is to seek to achieve high total return through growth of capital and current income. The investment objective for Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF is to seek to provide current income and capital appreciation. The investment objective for Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF is to seek total return consistent with a lower level of risk relative to the broad stock market. The investment objective for Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective for Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF is to seek to provide current income and some capital appreciation. The investment objective for Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF is to seek a positive total return that has a low correlation to the broader securities markets. The investment objective for S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF is to achieve positive total returns in rising or falling markets that are not directly correlated to broad equity or fixed income market returns. The investment objective of Ultra Short Duration ETF is to seek maximum current income, consistent with preservation of capital and daily liquidity. The investment objective for Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF is to seek to generate current income while maintaining low portfolio duration as a primary objective and capital appreciation as a secondary objective.

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:

Securities, including restricted securities in an Underlying Fund, if any, that are held as investments of a Fund, are valued in accordance with the Underlying Fund’s valuation policy. The policies of Underlying Funds affiliated with the Funds as a result of having the same investment adviser are the same as those set forth below.

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 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 the Adviser 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

 

 

  69  

 


 

 

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, the 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

Active Trading Risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.

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 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 Funds that invest in non-U.S. securities, which may have lower trading volumes.

Currency Risk. Certain Fund’s investments and strategies will involve exposure to foreign currencies. Currency risk is the risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment. As long as the Fund holds a foreign currency denominated security, its value will be affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. When the Fund sells a foreign currency denominated security, its value may be worth less in U.S. dollars even if the security increases in value in its home country. U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers also may be affected by currency risk, as the value of these securities may also be affected by changes in the issuer’s local currency. Additionally, and as a result of the Fund’s use of currency investment strategies, the Fund’s net currency position may expose the Fund to losses independent of any securities positions.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of equity securities will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities that a Fund holds participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Fund invests. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities a Fund holds; the price of securities may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the securities a Fund holds. In addition, securities of an issuer in the Fund’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition.

REIT Risk. For Active U.S. Real Estate ETF, although the Fund will not invest in real estate directly, the REITs in which the Fund invests are subject to risks inherent in the direct ownership of real estate. These risks include, but are not limited to, a possible lack of mortgage

 

 

  70  

 


 

 

funds and associated interest rate risks, overbuilding, property vacancies, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, losses due to environmental damages and changes in neighborhood values and appeal to purchasers.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Because each Fund (except Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF) is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than diversified funds, 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 each Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on each Fund’s performance.

Management Risk. The Funds are subject to management risk because they are actively managed portfolios. In managing a Fund’s portfolio securities, the Adviser or a sub-adviser (as applicable and as set forth below), applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions, but there can be no guarantee that these will produce the desired results.

Cash Transaction Risk. Unlike most exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and Ultra Short Duration ETF currently effect creations and redemptions principally for cash and S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF and Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF currently effect creations and redemptions partially for cash and partially in-kind, rather than primarily in-kind, because of the nature of each of these Funds’ investments. As such, investments in each Fund’s Shares may be less tax efficient than investments in shares of conventional ETFs that utilize an entirely in-kind redemption process.

Foreign Investment Risk. 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, and inconsistent and potentially less stringent accounting, auditing and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Foreign securities also are subject to the risks of expropriation, nationalization, political instability or other adverse political or economic developments and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries. Investments in foreign securities also may be subject to dividend withholding or confiscatory taxes, currency blockage and/or transfer restrictions and higher transactional costs.

Emerging Markets Investment Risk. Investments in the securities of issuers in emerging market countries involve risks often not associated with investments in the securities of issuers in developed countries. Securities in emerging markets may be subject to greater price fluctuations than securities in more developed markets. Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of other currencies may adversely affect investments in emerging market securities, and emerging market securities may have relatively low market liquidity, decreased publicly available information about issuers, and inconsistent and potentially less stringent accounting, auditing and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Emerging market securities also are subject to the risks of expropriation, nationalization or other adverse political or economic developments and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries. Investments in emerging market securities also may be subject to dividend withholding or confiscatory taxes, currency blockage and/or transfer restrictions. Emerging markets usually are subject to greater market volatility, lower trading volume, political and economic instability, uncertainty regarding the existence of trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than are more developed markets. Securities law in many emerging market countries is relatively new and unsettled. Therefore, laws regarding foreign investment in emerging market securities, securities regulation, title to securities, and shareholder rights may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, the enforcement of systems of taxation at federal, regional and local levels in emerging market countries may be inconsistent and subject to sudden change.

Industry Concentration Risk. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a 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 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.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. Each of the Active U.S. Real Estate ETF, Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF may engage in frequent and active trading of its portfolio securities, resulting in a high portfolio turnover rate. A portfolio turnover rate of 200%, for example, is equivalent to a Fund buying and selling all of its securities two times during the course of a year. A high portfolio turnover rate (such as 100% or more) may increase a Fund’s transaction costs and may generate a greater amount of taxable capital gain distributions to a Fund’s shareholders.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, risks associated with other types of investments. Derivatives may be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient. To the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case a Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as

 

 

  71  

 


 

 

a hedge provides no hedging benefits at all. A Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company as well as regulatory changes.

VIX Index Risk. For Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (“CBOE”) can make methodological changes to the calculation of the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (“VIX Index”) that could affect the value of the futures contracts on the VIX Index. There can be no assurance that the CBOE will not change the VIX Index calculation methodology in a way that may affect the value of each Fund’s Shares. Additionally, the CBOE may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the VIX Index and/or the exercise settlement value. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of each Fund’s Shares.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Company Risk. Investing insecurities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Often small- and mid-capitalization companies and the industries in which they focus are still evolving and, as a result, they may be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

Tax Risk. Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF may purchase and sell interest rate futures, including Eurodollar interest rate futures or Euro Euribor interest rate futures, and VIX Index futures contracts. S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF will gain most of its exposure to the futures markets by entering into VIX Index futures (and, to a lesser extent, S&P 500® Index futures (“S&P 500 Futures”)). To qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), the Funds must meet a qualifying income test each taxable year. The S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF has received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that income it derives from VIX Index futures contracts will constitute qualifying income for purposes of that test. Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF received an opinion of its counsel (which is not binding on the IRS or courts) stating that such income should be qualifying for purposes of that test. Failure to comply with the qualifying income test in any taxable year would have significant negative tax consequences to shareholders of the Funds. If the IRS were to determine that the income that the Funds derive from futures did not constitute qualifying income, the Funds likely would be required to reduce their exposure to such investments in order to maintain qualification as a RIC, which may result in difficulty in implementing their investment strategies.

Risk of Investing in Investment Companies. Because Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and Ultra Short Duration ETF may invest in other investment companies generally and S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF and Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF may invest in other ETFs specifically, each Fund’s investment performance may depend on the investment performance of the funds in which it invests. An investment in an investment company is subject to the risks associated with that investment company. Each Fund will pay indirectly a proportional share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which it invests (including costs and fees of the investment companies), while continuing to pay its own management fee to the Adviser. As a result, shareholders will absorb duplicate levels of fees with respect to a Fund’s investments in other investment companies.

Commodity Pool Risk. Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF invest in futures contracts, which cause each to be deemed to be a commodity pool, thereby subjecting each Fund to regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act and rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The Adviser is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”) and as a commodity trading advisor (“CTA”), and the Funds will be operated in accordance with CFTC rules. Registration as a CPO or CTA subjects the Adviser to additional laws, regulations and enforcement policies, all of which could increase compliance costs and may affect the operations and financial performance of these Funds. Registration as a commodity pool may have negative effects on the ability of each of these Funds to engage in their respective planned investment program.

Agency Debt Risk. Ultra Short Duration ETF and Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF invest in debt issued by government agencies, including the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). Instruments issued by government agencies generally are backed only by the general creditworthiness and reputation of the government agency issuing the instrument and are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. As a result, there is uncertainty as to the current status of many obligations of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other agencies that are placed under conservatorship of the federal government.

Call Risk. Call risk (also termed prepayment risk) is the risk that a borrower repays its debts earlier than expected (especially if interest rates decline), resulting in premature repayment of a debt instrument. If interest rates fall, issuers of callable securities with high interest coupons may “call” (or repay) their bonds before their maturity date in accordance with the terms of the security. If such a repayment were to occur, each Fund would receive the principal (par) amount of the security and would no longer own that security. Any reinvestment of the amount of principal received would be subject to reinvestment risk, and each Fund could be forced to reinvest in a lower yielding security, which could reduce each Fund’s net investment income. If each Fund purchases a debt security at a premium to its par value, and that security is called at par, the Fund can lose money.

Credit Risk. The issuer of instruments in which Ultra Short Duration ETF and Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF invest may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. An issuer’s securities may decrease in value if its financial strength weakens, which may

 

 

  72  

 


 

 

reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations. Even in the case of collateralized debt obligations, there is no assurance that the sale of collateral would raise enough cash to satisfy an issuer’s payment obligations or that the collateral can or will be liquidated.

Fund of Funds Risk. Because Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF and Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF invest primarily in other funds, each Fund’s investment performance largely depends on the investment performance of those Underlying Funds. An investment in each Fund is subject to the risks associated with the Underlying Funds. In addition, at times, certain of the segments of the market represented by Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest may be out of favor and underperform other segments. Each Fund indirectly pays a proportional share of the expense of the Underlying Funds in which it invests (including operating expenses and management fees), in addition to the fees and expenses it already pays to the Adviser.

Portfolio Size Risk. Under normal market conditions, each of Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF and Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF typically will hold a small number of positions (approximately 10-20 Underlying Funds). To the extent that a significant portion of a Fund’s total assets is invested in a limited number of holdings, the appreciation or depreciation of any one Underlying Fund may have a greater impact on such Fund’s NAV than it would if the Fund held a greater number of constituents.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration. “Duration risk” is related to interest rate risk; it refers to the risks associated with the sensitivity of a bond’s price to a one percent change in interest rates. Bonds with longer durations (i.e., a greater length of time until they reach maturity) face greater duration risk, meaning that they tend to exhibit greater volatility and are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than bonds with shorter durations. The Fund seeks to limit its exposure to interest rate risk and duration risk by constructing a portfolio of variable rate instruments that have an average duration of one year or less.

Liquidity Risk. Certain Funds may hold illiquid securities that it may be unable to sell at the preferred time or price and could lose its entire investment in such securities. The majority of each Fund’s assets are likely to be invested in securities that are less liquid than those traded on national exchanges. The risks of illiquidity are particularly important when each Fund’s operations require cash, and may in certain circumstances require that each Fund borrow to meet short-term cash requirements. Illiquid securities are also difficult to value. In the event each Fund voluntarily or involuntarily liquidates portfolio assets during periods of infrequent trading, it may not receive full value for those assets.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Ultra Short Duration ETF and Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF may invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, which are subject to call (prepayment) risk, reinvestment risk and extension risk. In addition, these securities are susceptible to an unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool, which may adversely affect their value. The risk of such defaults depends on the quality of the mortgages underlying such security, the credit quality of its issuer or guarantor, and the nature and structure of its credit support. For example, the risk of default generally is higher in the case of mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages, which are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with lower capacity to make timely mortgage payments.

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. 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 payment of interest and principal. The values of junk bond often fluctuate more in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments than higher quality bonds, and 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.

Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) and Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) Risk. Ultra Short Duration ETF may invest in CLOs and CDOs. CLOs bear many of the same risks as other forms of asset-backed securities (“ABS”), including interest rate risk, credit risk and default risk. As they are backed by pools of loans, CLOs also bear similar risks to investing in loans directly. CLOs issue classes or “tranches’’ that vary in risk and yield. CLOs may experience substantial losses attributable to loan defaults. Losses caused by defaults on underlying assets are borne first by the holders of subordinate tranches. Ultra Short Duration ETF’s investment in CLOs may decrease in market value when the CLO experiences loan defaults or credit impairment, the disappearance of a subordinate tranche, or market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class.

CDOs are structured similarly to CLOs and bear the same risks as CLOs including interest rate risk, credit risk and default risk. CDOs are subject to additional risks because they are backed by pools of assets other than loans including securities (such as other ABS), synthetic instruments or bonds and may be highly leveraged. Like CLOs, losses incurred by a CDO are borne first by holders of

 

 

  73  

 


 

 

subordinate tranches. Accordingly, the risks of CDOs depend largely on the type of underlying collateral and the tranche of CDOs in which the Fund invests. For example, CDOs that obtain their exposure through synthetic investments entail the risks associated with derivative instruments.

Commercial Paper Risk. Ultra Short Duration ETF may invest in commercial paper. The value of the Fund’s investment in commercial paper, which is an unsecured promissory note that generally has a maturity date between one and 270 days and is issued by a U.S. or foreign entity, is susceptible to changes in the issuer’s financial condition or credit quality. Investments in commercial paper are usually discounted from their value at maturity. Commercial paper can be fixed-rate or variable rate and can be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. For Ultra Short Duration ETF and Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF, obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, and no assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.

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 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 making investment selection decisions and 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 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

 

 

  74  

 


 

 

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 (except Ultra Short Duration 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 the Funds, including payments to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers (as defined below) for each Fund (except S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF), and for each Fund, 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.

Ultra Short Duration ETF is responsible for all of its expenses, including the investment advisory fees, cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expense, if any, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with executions of portfolio transactions, 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 (the “Independent Trustees”), expenses incurred in connection with the Board members’ services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for the Independent Trustees, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and 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 (except Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF, Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF and Ultra Short Duration ETF) declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to their shareholders quarterly and record such dividends on ex-dividend date. Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders annually and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF and Ultra Short Duration ETF each 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. Securities Lending

During the fiscal year or period ended October 31, 2018, Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation 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,

 

 

  75  

 


 

 

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.

J. Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions. In a repurchase agreement, each 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 each 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. Each Fund follows 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, each Fund will seek to liquidate such collateral. However, the exercising of each Fund’s 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, each Fund could suffer a loss. It is the current policy of each Fund 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 each Fund, amounts to more than 15% of each Fund’s net assets. The investments of each Fund in repurchase agreements, at times, may be substantial when, in the view of the Adviser, liquidity or other considerations so warrant.

K. Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities

Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF and Ultra Short Duration ETF may invest in both single and multi-issuer Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (“CMBS”). This includes both investment grade and non-investment grade CMBS as well as other non-rated CMBS. A CMBS is a type of mortgage-backed security that is secured by one or more mortgage loans on interests in commercial real estate property. CMBS differ from conventional debt securities because principal is paid back over the life of the security rather than at maturity. Investments in CMBS are subject to the various risks which relate to the pool of underlying assets in which the CMBS represents an interest. Securities backed by commercial real estate assets are subject to securities market risks as well as risks similar to those of direct ownership of commercial real estate loans. Risks include the ability of a borrower to meet its obligations on the loan which could lead to default or foreclosure of the property. Such actions may impact the amount of proceeds ultimately derived from the loan, and the timing of receipt of such proceeds.

Management estimates future expected cash flows at the time of purchase based on the anticipated repayment dates on the CMBS. Subsequent changes in expected cash flow projection may result in a prospective change in the timing or character of income recognized on these securities, or the amortized cost of these securities. Each Fund amortizes premiums and/or accretes discounts based on the projected cash flows. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on CMBS are included in the Statements of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from investment securities and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities, respectively.

L. 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 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.

M. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and Ultra Short Duration ETF may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through forward foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk.

 

 

  76  

 


 

 

Each Fund also enters into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund also enters into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund sets aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statements of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

N. Futures Contracts

Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF entered into futures contracts to simulate full investment in securities or manage exposure to equity and market price movements and/or currency risks and provide exposure to markets and indexes.

A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security or index for a specified price at a future date. Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF will only enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. exchange and that are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant broker. During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as a receivable or payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, each Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statements of Operations.

The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk, leverage risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If a Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and may be required to continue to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts until the position expired or matured. As futures contracts approach expiration, they may be replaced by similar contracts that have a later expiration. This process is referred to as “rolling.” If the market for these contracts is in “contango,” meaning that the prices of futures contracts in the nearer months are lower than the price of contracts in the distant months, the sale of the near-term month contract would be at a lower price than the longer-term contract, resulting in a cost to “roll” the futures contract. The actual realization of a potential roll cost will depend on the difference in price of the near and distant contracts. The contracts included in the VIX Index historically have traded in “contango” markets, resulting in a roll cost, which could adversely affect the value of Shares of the S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF. Futures have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures contracts, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

O. Structured Securities

Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF may invest in structured securities. Structured securities are a type of derivative security whose value is determined by reference to changes in the value of underlying securities, currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices or other financial indicators (“reference instruments”). Most structured securities are fixed-income securities that have maturities of three years or less. Structured securities may be positively or negatively indexed (i.e., their principal value or interest rates may increase or decrease if the underlying reference instrument appreciates) and may have return characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying reference instrument.

Structured securities may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the reference instruments. In addition to the credit risk of structured securities and the normal risks of price changes in response to changes in interest rates, the principal amount of structured notes or indexed securities may decrease as a result of changes in the value of the underlying reference instruments. Changes in the daily value of structured securities are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statements of Operations. When the structured securities mature or are sold, the Fund recognizes a realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.

P. Distributions from Distributable Earnings

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s issuance of Disclosure Update and Simplification, the Funds have presented the total, rather than the components of distributions to shareholders, except for tax return of capital distributions, if any, in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

For the year ended October 31, 2017, distributions from distributable earnings for each Fund (except Ultra Short Duration ETF) consisted of distributions from net investment income. For the years ended May 31, 2018 and May 31, 2017, distributions from distributable earnings for Ultra Short Duration ETF consisted of distributions from net investment income.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an 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 the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs, providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services, and for each Fund (except S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF), oversight of Invesco Advisers, Inc., Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”).

Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement, each Fund listed below 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 payments to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers for each Fund (except S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF), and for each Fund 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 annual rates:

 

    

% of Average
Daily Net  Assets

Active U.S. Real Estate ETF    0.35%*
Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF    0.05%
Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF    0.05%
Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF    0.05%
Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF    0.05%
Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF    0.95%
S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF    0.39%
Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF    0.30%

 

*

Prior to April 1, 2018, the unitary management fee was 0.80% of average daily net assets.

Pursuant to another Investment Advisory Agreement, Ultra Short Duration ETF accrues daily and pays monthly to the Adviser an annual management fee equal to 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has entered into an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Affiliated Sub-Advisers for each of Active U.S. Real Estate ETF, Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF, Ultra Short Duration ETF and Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF. The sub-advisory fee for these Funds is paid by the Adviser to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers at 40% of the Adviser’s compensation of the sub-advised assets of each Fund.

Prior to the Reorganization, the Predecessor Fund to Ultra Short Duration ETF was managed by Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors LLC (“GFIA”) and the Predecessor Fund paid GFIA an investment advisory fee calculated at the same annualized rate as disclosed above for the Fund. GFIA had entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“GPIM”) for the Predecessor Fund to Ultra Short Duration ETF. Pursuant to this sub-advisory agreement, GFIA paid GPIM on a monthly basis 50% of the net advisory fees GFIA received from the Fund.

Effective as of the Reorganization, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses for Ultra Short Duration ETF to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, offering costs, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.27% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year (the “Expense Cap”), through at least December 31, 2020. Prior to the Reorganization, GFIA limited expenses for the Predecessor Fund to the same expense cap.

 

 

 

  78  

 


 

 

Additionally, through at least August 31, 2020, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the Ultra Short Duration ETF’s management fee and/or reimburse Fund expenses for the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees that an affiliated person of the Adviser (an “Affiliated Person”) or the Adviser receives that are attributable to the Fund’s investments in any other fund managed by such Affiliated Person or the Adviser. This waiver will have the effect of reducing the Acquired Fund Fees and Expense that are indirectly borne by the Fund. The Adviser cannot discontinue this waiver prior to its expiration.

Additionally, through at least August 31, 2020, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of all Fund’s, except for Ultra Short Duration ETF, 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.

Prior to the Reorganization, GFIA voluntarily agreed to waive the Management Fee and/or reimburse fund expenses of the Predecessor Fund to Ultra Short Duration ETF in an amount equal to the Predecessor Fund’s management fee attributable to the Predecessor Fund’s assets invested in affiliated funds.

For the fiscal year or period ended October 31, 2018, the Adviser waived fees for each Fund in the following amounts:

 

Active U.S. Real Estate ETF    $ 31  
Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF      1  
Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF      1  
Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF       
Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF      1  
Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF      2,975  
S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF      3,055  
Ultra Short Duration ETF     
Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF      4,545  

* For the period June 1, 2018 to October 31, 2018

For the period after the close of business April 6, 2018 to May 31, 2018, the Adviser waived fees in the amount of $60,365 for Ultra Short Duration ETF. For the period June 1, 2017 to April 6, 2018, GFIA waived fees in the amount of $29,980 for the Predecessor Fund to Ultra Short Duration ETF.

The fees waived and/or expenses borne by the Adviser for Ultra Short Duration ETF pursuant to the Expense Cap 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.

There are no amounts available for potential recapture by the Adviser as of October 31, 2018.

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 the 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 Fund 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 the Predecessor Fund.

Note 4. Investments in Affiliates

The Adviser also serves as the adviser for each Underlying Fund listed within the tables below, and therefore the following Underlying Funds are considered to be affiliated with the Funds. The tables below show certain Funds’ transactions in, and earnings from, investments in affiliates (excluding affiliated money market funds) for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018.

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.

 

 

  82  

 


 

 

 

  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 certain Funds listed below, as of October 31, 2018, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 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.

Note 6. Derivative Investments

The Funds may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in 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, distributions, paydowns, and foreign currency 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 assets of each Fund. For the fiscal year or period ended October 31, 2018, the reclassifications were as follows:

Note 10. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to each Independent Trustee and an Officer of the Trust. The Adviser, as a result of each Fund’s unitary management fee, pays for such compensation for each Fund except for Ultra Short Duration 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 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 11. Borrowing

The Predecessor Fund to Ultra Short Duration ETF (the “Withdrawing Borrower”), was party 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 Borrower was 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%, The Withdrawing Borrower 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 Borrower paid the associated interest expenses. Effective April 16, 2018, the Withdrawing Borrower withdrew as borrowers under the line of credit facility and all rights and obligations of the Withdrawing Borrower 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 current fiscal period.

Note 12. Capital

Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of (i) 100,000 Shares for each of Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and Ultra Short Duration ETF; and (ii) 50,000 Shares, for each of Active U.S. Real Estate ETF, S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF and Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. For Active U.S. Real Estate ETF, Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF and Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, such transactions are principally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of the Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. For Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and Ultra Short Duration ETF, Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash. For S&P 500® Downside Hedged ETF and Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF, Creation Units are issued and redeemed partially in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash and partially in exchange for 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.

 

 

  88  

 


 

 

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 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.

Note 14. Subsequent Event

At a meeting held on December 13, 2018, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the termination and winding down of Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF, with the liquidation payment to shareholders expected to take place on or about February 27, 2019. Investors who have elected not to sell their shares before market close on February 20, 2019 will receive cash equal to the amount of the net asset value of their shares, which will include any capital gains and dividends, on or about February 27, 2019.

Statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period June 1, 2018 through October 31, 2018 and for the year ended May 31, 2018

The financial statements of Invesco Ultra Short Duration ETF (Predecessor Fund Guggenheim Ultra Short Duration ETF) as of and for the year ended May 31, 2017 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to May 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 July 31, 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 October 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.

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 October 31, 2018.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the Invesco Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Invesco Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Invesco Growth Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Invesco Moderately Conservative Multi-Asset Allocation ETF, Invesco Multi-Strategy Alternative ETF and the S&P 500 Downside Hedged ETF (collectively, the “Portfolios”) bear directly, the Portfolios indirectly bear a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolios invest. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolios will vary because the investment companies have varied expenses and fee levels and the Portfolios may own different proportions of the investment companies at different times. Estimated investment companies’ expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Portfolios. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the investment companies the Portfolios invest in. The effect of the estimated investment companies’ expenses that the Portfolios bear indirectly is included in each Portfolio’s total return.

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.

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 of Trustees.

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.

(f)

Not applicable.

 

(g)

In addition to the amounts shown in the tables above, PwC billed Invesco and Affiliates aggregate fees of $2,977,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018 and $3,068,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017 for non-audit services not required to be pre-approved by the Registrant’s Audit Committee. In total, PwC billed the Registrant, Invesco and Affiliates aggregate non-audit fees of $3,697,000 for the fiscal year ended 2018, and $4,477,000 for the fiscal year ended 2017.

 

(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 $18 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 (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 Registrant 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 Registrant 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. On May 2, 2018, the SEC proposed amendments to the Loan Rule that, if adopted as proposed, would address many of the issues that led to the issuance of the no-action letter.

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 Registrant 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 Registrant’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 Registrant 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 Registrant may need to take other action in order for the Registrant’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 Registrant to issue new shares or have other material adverse effects on the Registrant. 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.
