Description

Invesco Variable Rate Preferred Shares UCITS ETF Acc tracks the issuer-declared index: ICE Diversified Variable Rate Preferred & Hybrid Securities Index. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.50%, plus 0.13% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is physical replication (it buys the index constituents); income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 22 million euro, was launched on 7 December 2018 and is domiciled in Ireland. In our registry it is the largest by assets among the 2 ETFs declaring the same index.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

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. Investment objective: The objective of the Fund is to achieve the net total return performance of the ICE Diversified Variable Rate Preferred & Hybrid Securities Index (the "Index"), less fees, expenses and transaction costs. Investment approach: The Fund is a passively managed ETF. To achieve the investment objective, the Fund will, as far as possible and practicable, hold all the securities in the Index in their respective weightings. 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’s base currency is USD.

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.

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. The Index: The Index aims to measure the performance of floating and variable rate investment grade and sub-investment grade U.S. dollar-denominated preferred and hybrid securities. In order to be included in the Index, a preferred or hybrid security must be publicly issued, be US registered or exempt from registration, have at least one day remaining to maturity and 18 months to final maturity at the date of issuance, issued in either $25 or $1,000 par increments and have a floating rate coupon or dividend. Preferred or hybrid securities listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ and having an average monthly consolidated trading volume over the last six months of at least 100,000 shares must have at least $100 million face amount outstanding. $1,000 par securities must have coupon payments that are deferrable at the option of the issuer.

From month-end NAVs, over the fund’s full history, on the series shown in the chart (dividends reinvested where declared). Deeper colour = larger move.
Source: Invesco. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available July 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.

Tracking difference — fund vs index

How much the fund returned above (+) or below (−) its index, year by year. It measures the actual deviation: the combined effect of costs (TER and transaction), securities-lending revenue and replication optimisations — which is why it can beat the TER. Tracking difference was positive in 7 of the last 7 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.
