Invesco Canada Expands Active ETF Platform

Launch of four new ETFs opens access to Invesco's high-quality active management

TORONTO, Aug. 15, 2024 /CNW/ -- Invesco Canada Ltd. ("Invesco") today announced the launch of four new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that expand its lineup of actively managed ETF offerings. These products leverage Invesco's active investment capabilities in an ETF vehicle, providing investors access to its high-quality active management.

"Active ETFs have entered the investor inflection point, which makes this the perfect time to expand upon our capabilities in Canada," said Pat Chiefalo, Senior Vice President, Head of ETFs & Indexed Strategies, Canada. "Today's launch helps to further our goal of meeting investor demands through strong investment strategies in a variety of investment vehicles, helping them to best achieve their investment objectives."

Below are the four ETFs launching today:

The Invesco NASDAQ 100 Income Advantage ETF (QQCI) and Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Income Advantage ETF (EQLI) aim to combine the equity exposure of an index-tracking product with a consistent and high monthly yield. QQCI and EQLI are unique in their goals to offer reliable income and market participation, and a diversified option income overlay, allowing for a balance of yield and growth with a focus on long-term total returns.

Effective immediately, Invesco is waiving the full 34 bps management fee on QQCI and EQLI until at least Feb. 28, 2025.

Invesco designed QQCI and EQLI to suit investors who want to participate meaningfully in core, trusted equity indices, but with less volatility and downside risk. These strategies should offer the ability to earn attractive and consistent monthly income, balancing yield and growth with a focus on long-term total returns. Consistency of yield and market participation are both crucial elements for investors trying to decide how the Income Advantage ETFs might fit into their portfolio.

The Invesco Canadian Core Plus Bond ETF and Invesco Global Bond ETF aim to provide consistent income and capital growth. ICCB and ICGB invest primarily in investment grade fixed income securities of governments, corporations and other issuers, providing investors an attractive option for diversification while participating in steady income and capital growth.

The initial offering of the four ETFs included in the above table has now closed. Units in the ETFs will be available for trading on TSX when the market opens today.

"Bps" refers to the unit of measurement known as "basis points," used to describe a percentage value or rate. One basis point is equivalent to 0.01% (1/100th of a percent) or 0.0001 in decimal form.
