Invesco S&P China A MidCap 500 Swap UCITS ETF Acc

The Invesco S&P China A MidCap 500 Swap UCITS ETF Acc aims to provide the net total return performance of the S&P China A MidCap 500 Index, less the impact of fees.

The Reference Index is designed to measure the performance of the mid-cap segment of the China A-Shares market. It comprises the 500 largest stocks by total market capitalisation in the S&P China A 1800 Index, after excluding stocks in the S&P China A 300 Index. The Reference Index is rebalanced semi-annually.

The fund aims to achieve its objective by holding a basket of equities, which typically delivers most of the fund’s return but ordinarily would not be the same as those in the Reference Index. The fund will also use unfunded swaps, which are contracts whereby one or more approved counterparties agrees to exchange with the fund any difference between the returns of the Reference Index and the basket of equities held. The aim is to achieve a closer and more consistent performance relative to the Reference Index than would generally be possible through physical replication alone.

Note: The swap fee is the amount paid by the Fund to the swap counterparty.  Where this value is negative, this represents an amount paid by the swap counterparty to the Fund in excess of the benchmark return (i.e., a positive excess return received by the Fund).

This ETF is passively managed.

Invesco S&P China A 300 Swap UCITS ETF Acc

The Invesco S&P China A 300 Swap UCITS ETF Acc aims to provide the net total return performance of the S&P China A 300 Index, less the impact of fees.

The Reference Index is designed to measure the performance of the 300 largest and most liquid stocks, as measured by total market capitalisation, in the China A-Shares market, while representing the sector balance of the broad market, subject to liquidity and Earnings per Share (“EPS”) screens. The Reference Index is rebalanced semi-annually.
