A sound investment process and strong management team underpin Invesco KBW Property & Casualty Ins ETF's Morningstar Medalist Rating of Bronze. The portfolio maintains a sizable cost advantage over competitors, priced within the cheapest fee quintile among peers.  

 The strategy's effective investment philosophy supports an Above Average Process Pillar rating. Independent of the rating, analysis of the strategy's portfolio shows it has maintained a significant overweight position in quality exposure and an underweight in volatility exposure compared with category peers. High quality exposure is attributed to stocks with low financial leverage and strong returns on equity. And low volatility exposure is rooted in stocks that have a lower standard deviation of returns. The strategy’s management team earns an Above Average People Pillar rating. The strategy's parent organization earns the firm an Average Parent Pillar rating. People Pillar and Parent Pillar ratings for this strategy are indirectly assigned by a Morningstar analyst rather than algorithmically derived. Please see the notes following each pillar section for more details. The details of assigning methods can be found in each pillar section.

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 KBW Property & Casualty Ins ETF earns an Above Average Process Pillar rating. The leading factor in the rating is the fund's impressive long-term risk-adjusted performance. This can be seen in its five-year alpha calculated relative to the category index, which suggests that the process was successful over that period. This fund tracks an index, which also increases its process rating. Historical data, such as Morningstar's Active/Passive Barometer, shows that passively managed funds have generally outperformed their active counterparts, especially over longer time horizons. Lastly, the process is limited by its parent firm's inferior risk-adjusted performance, as shown by the firm's average 10-year Morningstar Rating of 2.8 stars. A lower star rating suggests that the firm has struggled to outperform on a risk-adjusted basis.

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 KBW Nasdaq Property & Casualty IndexTM (the "underlying 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 a modified-market capitalization-weighted index designed to track the performance of companies primarily engaged in U.S. property and casualty insurance activities and as determined by the index provider. The fund is non-diversified. 

 The portfolio is overweight in financial services by 16.1 percentage points in terms of assets compared with the category average, and its consumer defensive allocation is similar to the category. The sectors with low exposure compared to category peers are technology and consumer cyclical, with technology underweighting the average portfolio by 5.7 percentage points of assets and consumer cyclical similar to the average. The portfolio is composed of 25 holdings and is quite concentrated. In particular, 61.5% of the strategy's assets are housed within the top 10 holdings, compared to the category’s 46.6% average. And in closing, in terms of portfolio turnover, on a year-over-year basis, 12% of the fund's holdings have turned over, whether through increasing, decreasing, or changing a position.

Above Average

Process

Invesco’s equity 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. The team is well equipped, with an average of 12 years of 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. This group has been working together for a while and has been successful in retaining talent compared to peers, with no departures in the last five years.  

 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.

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.
