Strategy Narrative [Text Block] |
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in investment-grade fixed-income securities, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The portfolio managers' overall strategy is to seek to build a portfolio comprised primarily of U.S. investment grade fixed income investments, utilizing a variety of different fixed income instruments.
Fixed-income instruments held by the Fund can include: ■
Domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations; ■
Domestic and foreign government debt obligations, including U.S. Government securities; ■
Mortgage-related securities; ■
Asset-backed securities; and ■
Other debt obligations. The Fund invests in securities that are rated investment-grade. Investment-grade securities are considered to be those instruments that are rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (S&P), or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s), or the equivalent by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings to a security, the Fund's investment sub-adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), uses the highest rating assigned. The Fund may also invest in unrated securities, that the
Sub-Adviser, after assessing their credit quality, has determined are of comparable quality to investment-grade securities. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Sub-Adviser’s credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a NRSRO. The Fund may also invest in illiquid or thinly traded securities.
The Fund’s investments in U.S. Government securities may include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or federally chartered entities referred to as “instrumentalities.” Some of the U.S Government securities that are issued directly by the U.S. Treasury that the Fund may invest in are: Treasury bills (having maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (having maturities of one to ten years when issued), Treasury bonds (having maturities of more than ten years when issued) and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities (TIPS). When market conditions change, the portfolio managers might change the Fund’s relative asset allocation.
The Fund may invest in a variety of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities (“ABS”). Such securities include mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) issued or guaranteed by federal agencies and/or U.S. government sponsored instrumentalities, such as the Government National Mortgage Administration, the Federal Housing Administration, the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). The MBS in which the Fund may invest may also include residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”). The ABS in which the Fund may invest include collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”).
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in privately issued (or “non-agency”) ABS, including CMBS and RMBS, that are not issued by the U.S. government or government sponsored-entities.
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in foreign debt securities, including securities issued by foreign governments or companies in both developed and emerging markets. The Fund may not invest more than 20% of its net assets in foreign debt securities.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions and securities exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act.
The Fund has no limitations on the range of maturities of the debt securities in which it can invest and may hold securities with short-, medium- or long-term maturities. The maturity of a security differs from its effective duration, which attempts to measure the expected volatility of a security’s price to interest rate changes. For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1% increase in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to decrease about 3%. To try to decrease volatility, the Fund seeks to maintain a weighted average effective portfolio duration within +/- two years of the duration of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, measured on a dollar-weighted basis using the effective duration of the securities included in the portfolio and the amount invested in each of those securities. However, the duration of the portfolio might not meet that target at all times including due to market events or interest rate changes that cause debt securities to be repaid more rapidly or more slowly than expected.
The Fund may also use derivatives to seek increased returns or to seek to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or to seek to manage investment risks. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.
Futures, swaps, forward contracts, options, and “structured” notes are examples of some of the types of derivatives the Fund can use. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that the Fund buys or sells a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The Fund may also engage in “to be announced” (TBA) transactions, which are transactions in which a fund buys or sells mortgage-backed securities on a forward commitment basis. TBA transactions may be conducted as dollar rolls. The Fund may engage in short sales of TBA mortgages, including short sales on TBA mortgages the Fund does not own.
The Fund may hold a portion of its assets in cash and cash equivalent instruments, including affiliated money market funds, as margin or collateral for the Fund’s obligations under the TBA transactions, or for cash management purposes.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers analyze the overall investment opportunities and risks in different sectors of the debt securities markets by focusing on business cycle analysis and relative values between the corporate and government sectors. The Fund mainly seeks income earnings on the Fund’s investments plus capital appreciation that may arise from decreases in interest rates, from improving credit fundamentals for a particular sector or security or from other investment techniques. The Fund may sell securities that the portfolio managers believe no longer meet the above criteria.
The Fund’s credit research process considers factors that may include, but are not limited to, an issuer’s operations, capital structure and environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations. Credit quality analysis for certain issuers therefore may consider whether any ESG factors pose a material financial risk or opportunity to an issuer. The Sub-Adviser may determine that ESG considerations are not material to certain issuers or types of investments held by the Fund. In addition, not all issuers or investments in the Fund may undergo a credit quality analysis that considers ESG factors, and not all investments held by the Fund will rate strongly on ESG criteria.
The Fund is “non-diversified” and therefore is not required to meet certain diversification requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

Invesco Intermediate Municipal ETF | |

Strategy [Heading] | Principal Investment Strategies |
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments the income from which is exempt from federal income taxes (municipal securities) and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities that are rated investment grade at the time of investment. Investment grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), the Fund’s sub-adviser, to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Sub-Adviser’s credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a NRSRO. If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings to a security, the Sub-Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
Municipal securities include debt obligations of states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax, at the time of issuance, in the opinion of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities.
The principal types of municipal debt securities purchased by the Fund are revenue obligations and general obligations. To meet its investment objective, the Fund invests in different types of general obligation and revenue obligation securities, including fixed and variable rate securities, municipal notes, variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial receipts, and participation certificates. The Fund may invest in these and other types of municipal securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities rated below investment grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and unrated municipal securities determined by the Sub-Adviser to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Sub-Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time.
The Fund may invest more than 25% of its net assets in a segment of the municipal securities market (e.g., municipal securities issued to finance a particular type of project and/or projects in a particular part of the bond market, including, but not limited to, health care, housing, education, utilities, and transportation) if the Sub-Adviser determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular segment justify the additional risks of a larger investment in such segment. The Fund may not, however, invest more than 25% of its net assets in industrial development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry. The Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of its assets in municipal securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. From time to time, the Fund temporarily may invest up to 10% of its net assets in tax exempt money market funds and such instruments will be treated as investments in municipal securities.
The Fund has no policy limiting its investments in municipal securities whose issuers are located in the same state.
The Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded investments. The Fund may also invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions and/or exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero-coupon securities and payment-in-kind securities.
The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that the Fund may buy or sell a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future.
The Fund can invest in inverse floating rate interests (Inverse Floaters) issued in connection with tender option bond (TOB) financing transactions to generate leverage for the Fund. The Fund’s investments in Inverse Floaters are included for purposes of the 80% policy described above.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments including futures contracts and swap contracts. The Fund can use futures contracts, including interest rate futures, to reduce exposure to interest rate changes and to manage duration. The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge its exposure to interest rates.
The Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include many of the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies and policies.
The Sub-Adviser actively manages the Fund’s portfolio and adjusts the average maturity of portfolio investments based upon its expectations regarding the direction of interest rates and other economic factors. The Sub-Adviser seeks to identify those securities that it believes entail reasonable credit risk considered in relation to the Fund’s investment policies. In selecting securities for investment, the Sub-Adviser uses its extensive research capabilities to assess potential investments and considers a number of factors, including general market and economic conditions and interest rate, credit and prepayment risks. Each security considered for investment is subjected to an in-depth credit analysis to evaluate the level of risk it presents.
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds, which make payments only from a state’s interest in the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA), and up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco bonds subject to a state’s appropriation pledge, which make payments from both MSA revenue and a state’s appropriation pledge.
In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund may invest in securities of any maturity, but seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio maturity of 4 to 6 years. Because of events affecting the bond markets and interest rate changes, the maturity of the portfolio might not meet the target at all times. In certain market conditions, however, such a portfolio may be less attractive because of differences in yield between municipal securities of different maturities due to supply and demand forces, monetary and tax policies and investor expectations.
Decisions to purchase or sell securities are determined by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer, degradation of an issuer’s credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The potential for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and frequency of portfolio turnover generally will not be a limiting factor if the Sub-Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or sell securities.
The Fund is “non-diversified” and therefore is not required to meet certain diversification requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
