Morningstar's evaluation of this security's process aims to determine the likelihood that it will outperform its Morningstar Category benchmark on a risk-adjusted basis over the long term. Invesco MSCI Green Building ETF earns an Average Process Pillar rating. The leading factor in the rating is that this fund tracks an index. Historical data, such as Morningstar's Active/Passive Barometer, finds that passively managed funds have generally outperformed their active counterparts, especially over longer time horizons. The size of the portfolio management team also supports the process. With four portfolio managers, the fund is reasonably well-resourced. Lastly, the process is limited by the parent firm's five-year risk-adjusted success ratio of 42%. The measure indicates the percentage of a firm's funds that survived and outperformed their respective category's median Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return for the period. The parent's relatively low success ratio suggests that the firm could do better across its fund lineup.

The investment strategy as stated in the fund's prospectus is:  The investment seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the MSCI Global Green Building Index.  The fund generally will invest at least 90% of its total assets in the securities that comprise the underlying index. The underlying index is composed of securities that are also components of the MSCI ACWI Investable Market Index (the "Parent Index"), an equity index composed of more than 9, 300 securities of large-, and mid- and small-capitalization companies located in both developed and emerging market countries around the world. It is non-diversified. 

 The portfolio is overweight in consumer cyclical by 9.3 percentage points in terms of assets compared with the category average, and its financial services allocation is similar to the category. The sectors with low exposure compared to category peers are real estate and basic materials, with real estate underweighting the average portfolio by 8.5 percentage points of assets and basic materials similar to the average. The portfolio is composed of 96 holdings and is similarly diversified as peers, with 38.4% of portfolio assets concentrated within the top 10 holdings. And in closing, in terms of portfolio turnover, looking at year-over-year movements, 23% of the fund's holdings have turned over, whether through increasing, decreasing, or changing a position.

Average

Process

Invesco’s team is strong compared with others in the industry, resulting in an Above Average People Pillar rating. There are four managers listed on the fund: Michael Jeanette, Peter Hubbard, Tony Seisser, Pratik Doshi. Experience on the team is abundant, with 12 years of average portfolio management experience. Together, they manage a total of 144 strategies, with a Bronze asset-weighted average Morningstar Medalist Rating, indicating the potential to deliver positive alpha relative to the category median in aggregate.  

 Note: This People Pillar rating is indirectly assigned by an analyst. Morningstar analysts evaluate the People Pillar for passive products at the brand level and may also differentiate by asset class. There is at least one other passive strategy at the firm that is covered by a Morningstar analyst, so the People Pillar rating of the fund is inherited from the rating that the Morningstar analyst assigned to investment vehicles under the same brand name.

Above Average

People

Invesco succeeds in a number of areas but also has its share of subpar offerings, along with many others that land somewhere in the middle. A mid-2023 change of CEO, from longtime chief Marty Flanagan to veteran Invesco executive Andrew Schlossberg, is noteworthy, and several other executives retired or departed in 2023. Portfolio-manager shuffles aimed at bolstering poor performers, which began under Flanagan, have continued under Schlossberg, who told Morningstar his most important aim is bolstering “investment quality.” However, major changes of direction or approach are unlikely. The firm retains a Morningstar Parent rating of Average. 
Invesco’s international-equity teams in Texas and New York remain solid. However, the extensive U.S.-equity lineup needs improvement. Fixed-income offerings run the gamut: The multisector and short-term-bond areas are good, but corporate high-yield is less impressive. The firm’s exchange-traded fund lineup includes the popular Nasdaq-focused QQQ; passive strategies make up around 37% of Invesco’s assets under management. Invesco has not been averse to trying new types of strategies, and it was among the firms that immediately launched a spot bitcoin ETF after SEC approval in early 2024.
The picture outside the United States is mixed. Fund performance has been subpar in Asia, and while the picture has brightened in the United Kingdom and Europe, that region still can’t be considered a strength.
