Investment objective: The objective of the Fund is to provide exposure to the performance of USD denominated investment grade corporate bonds each with an effective maturity in 2026. Investment approach: The Fund is a passively managed ETF. To achieve the investment objective the Fund will seek to replicate the total return performance of the Bloomberg 2026 Maturity USD Corporate Bond Screened Index (the "Index"), less fees, expenses and transaction costs. The Fund will employ sampling techniques to select securities in the Index which may include but are not limited to index weighted average duration, industry sectors, country weights, liquidity and credit quality. The use of the sampling approach will result in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in the underlying Index. The Fund may use derivative instruments for the purposes of managing risk, reducing costs, generating additional capital or income. The Fund may engage in securities lending, whereby 90% of the revenues arising from securities lending will be returned to the Fund and 10% of the revenues will be retained by the securities lending agent. The Fund may be exposed to the risk of the borrower defaulting on its obligation to return the securities at the end of the loan period and of being unable to sell the collateral provided to it if the borrower defaults. The Fund is an Article 8 Fund (it promotes environmental and/or social characteristics) for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector ("SFDR"). The Fund’s base currency is USD. The Share Class currency is GBP. To minimise exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Fund's base currency and the Share Class currency, the Share Class enters into foreign exchange transactions (typically FX forwards). Currency hedging between the base currency of the Fund and the currency of the share class may not completely eliminate the currency risk between those two currencies and may affect the performance of the share class. The Index: The Index is designed to reflect the performance of investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable debt securities issued by corporate issuers. The Index includes publicly issued securities by industrial, utility and financial institution issuers in global markets and applies ESG related exclusionary criteria. To be eligible for inclusion, securities’ principal and interest must be USD denominated, bonds must have fixed-rate coupon issues and corporate securities must have at least USD300mn par amount outstanding with an effective maturity on or between 1st January 2026 and 31st December 2026 ("Index Final Year"). Securities ineligible for inclusion include but are not limited to fixed-to-floating securities, inflation-linked bonds and floating-rate issues. The specific ESG exclusionary criteria applied excludes securities that 1) are involved in any of the following business activities: controversial weapons, small arms, military contracting, oil sands, thermal coal and tobacco; 2) do not have a controversy level as defined by Sustainalytics or have a Sustainalytics controversy level higher than 4; 3) are deemed not to comply with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact or 4) are issued by emerging market issuers. Involvement and revenue thresholds are defined by the Index provider. Further information in relation to any revenue thresholds and controversy scoring criteria, can be obtained from the Index provider’s website. During the Index Final Year new corporate securities are not added to the Index and during the last 6 months of this period the principal received from corporate bonds that mature or are excluded is re-invested into short maturity USD denominated debt issued by the US Treasury. The Index is rebalanced on a monthly basis. This document provides a summary of the principal features of the Index, the complete description of the Index (available from the Index provider) shall at all times prevail. Investors should note that the Index is the intellectual property of the Index provider. The Fund is not sponsored or endorsed by the Index provider and a full disclaimer can be found in the Fund’s supplement. Dividend Policy: This Share Class does not pay you income, but instead reinvests it to grow your capital, in line with its stated objectives.

Redemption and Dealing of Shares:The Fund's shares are listed on one or more Stock Exchange(s). Investors can buy or sell shares daily through an intermediary directly or on Stock Exchange(s) on which the shares are traded. In exceptional circumstances investors will be permitted to redeem their shares directly from the Umbrella Fund in accordance with the redemption procedures set out in the prospectus, subject to any applicable laws and relevant charges.

Intended Retail InvestorThe Fund is intended for investors aiming for medium term capital growth over a period prior to or until the Maturity Date, who may not have specific financial expertise but are able to make an informed investment decision based on this document, the supplement, and the prospectus, have a risk appetite consistent with the risk indicator displayed below and understand that there is no capital guarantee or protection (100% of capital is at risk). Such an investor is also one that is able to assess the merits and risks of an investment in the shares of a fixed maturity fund. Practical Information Fund Depositary: The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Dublin Branch, Riverside Two, Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin 2, D02 KV60, Ireland. Find out more: This document is specific to the Fund. Further information about the Fund can be obtained from the supplement, the prospectus, annual and interim reports. The prospectus, annual and interim reports are prepared for the Umbrella Fund, of which the Fund is a sub-fund. These documents are available free of charge in English. They can be obtained along with other information, such as share prices, at https://etf.invesco.com (select your country and navigate to the Documents section on the product page), or by calling +353 1 439 8000. The assets of the Fund are segregated as a matter of Irish law and as such, in Ireland, the assets of one sub-fund will not be available to satisfy the liabilities of another sub-fund. This position may be considered differently by the courts in jurisdictions outside of Ireland. Subject to satisfying certain criteria as set out in the prospectus, investors may be able to exchange their investment in the Fund for shares in another sub-fund of the Umbrella which is being offered at that time.

B26X is hedged to GBP; the index the issuer places next to it in its documents is the unhedged, foreign-currency version. Subtracting one from the other does not measure replication quality: it measures the exchange rate. In a year when the currency moves 5%, “the TD” would come out near 5 points — a plausible-looking number, with decimals, and wrong.

Other sites publish that number. We would rather show one figure less than one figure wrong: the TD will return here the day we have the GBP-hedged index series, which the issuer does not publish today.
