Series added to Invesco S&P International
Developed Low Volatility Index ETF (ILV)
TORONTO, Feb. 13, 2019 /CNW/ - Invesco today announced the
launch of a new CAD-hedged series for Invesco S&P International
Developed Low Volatility Index ETF† (ticker symbol
"ILV.F").
The initial offering of ILV.F has now closed, and it will be
available for trading on TSX at market open today.
With the addition of the CAD-hedged series, investors can now
choose to invest in the ETF on either a CAD-unhedged (ILV) or
CAD-hedged (ILV.F) basis.
ILV seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and
before fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P EPAC Ex.
Korea Low Volatility Index, or any successor thereto, on an
unhedged basis, in the case of any unhedged units, or on a hedged
basis, in the case of any hedged units. This Invesco ETF invests
primarily in low-volatility equity securities of companies located
in developed markets within the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions, excluding Korea.
ILV offers the following potential benefits for investors:
- Downside protection: Low-volatility stocks (i.e., securities
with a standard deviation of price returns lower than that of the
broader market) have historically provided a layer of protection in
declining markets by capturing a smaller portion of downside
movements relative to the broader equity markets. For investors
concerned about volatility but seeking to maintain equity-market
exposure, low-volatility strategies may help to reduce downside
risk
- Capital appreciation: Historically, low-volatility stocks have
tended to outperform their market-capitalization-weighted
benchmarks over the long term
- Global diversification: International equity markets offer
access to a wide range of investments across sectors and regions –
adding diversification benefits when combined with North
American-focused portfolios

There are risks involved with investing in ETFs. Please read the
prospectus for a complete description of risks relevant to the ETF.
Ordinary brokerage commissions apply to purchases and sales of ETF
units.
Some ETFs seek to replicate, before fees and expenses, the
performance of the applicable index, and are not actively managed.
This means that the sub-advisor will not attempt to take defensive
positions in declining markets and the ETF will continue to provide
exposure to each of the securities in the index regardless of
whether the financial condition of one or more issuers of
securities in the index deteriorates. In contrast, if an ETF is
actively managed, then the sub-advisor has discretion to adjust
that ETF's holdings in accordance with the ETF's investment
objectives and strategies.
