The Invesco ESG S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (the Fund) is designed to mirror the performance of the S&P 500 Equal Weight Scored & Screened Leaders Select Index (the Index), committing at least 90% of its total assets to the index's constituents. This Index provides an equally weighted representation of S&P 500 companies that meet specific environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, while concurrently maintaining industry sector weightings comparable to the broader S&P 500 Equal Weight Index. A key component of the selection process is an "ESG score," designed to identify corporations proficient in recognizing and responding to emerging sustainability challenges and opportunities worldwide. This assessment involves comprehensive, industry-tailored questionnaires, where companies can submit as many as 1,000 data points. If a company opts not to participate in the active assessment, its evaluation is based on publicly available information. Generally, only the top 40% of firms within each GICS S&P 500 industry group, based on their ESG scores, are selected for inclusion in the Index. Both the Fund and its underlying Index undergo quarterly adjustments. It's worth noting that effective February 10, 2025, the Index's name changed from the "S&P 500 Equal Weight ESG Leaders Select Index" to its current title. Despite this name update, the core methodology and underlying index composition remain unchanged.
