Description

The Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility UCITS ETF Acc aims to provide the total return performance of the S&P 500 Low Volatility Index (the “Reference Index”), less the impact of fees. The Reference Index aims to reflect the performance of the 100 least volatile stocks in the S&P 500 index (the "Parent Index"). The Reference Index is constructed from the Parent Index by calculating the volatilities of all of the underlying securities and ranking them in descending order, based on the inverse of the realised volatility. Realised volatility is defined as the standard deviation of the security's daily price returns over the prior calendar year. The 100 securities with the lowest realised volatility are selected for the Reference Index, which is rebalanced quarterly. The portfolio managers aim to achieve the fund’s objective by using portfolio modelling tools and techniques to buy and hold a proportion of the index securities that represents the characteristics of the entire index. The objective of this sampling method is to replicate the index performance as closely as possible while reducing the costs that would normally be incurred with full replication. This ETF is passively managed. An investment in this fund is an acquisition of units in a passively managed, index tracking fund rather than in the underlying assets owned by the fund.
