Objectives:
The Invesco FTSE All Share Screened & Tilted UCITS ETF aims to deliver the net total return of the FTSE All Share ex Investment Trusts ESG Climate Select Index, minus fees. The Index tracks large- and mid-cap UK companies, re-weighted based on ESG metrics to favour firms with strong ESG profiles, higher green revenue, and lower carbon emissions and fossil fuel reserves.
It excludes companies with severe ESG controversies or involvement in activities such as Arctic oil and gas, adult entertainment, controversial weapons, gambling, nuclear power, thermal coal, and tobacco. Firms with an S&P Governance Score below five are also excluded. Securities must meet liquidity and tradability criteria.
The fund seeks to replicate the Index by holding all its securities in their respective weights and rebalances in line with the Index. This ETF is passively managed.
Sustainable, Responsible
&/or ESG Overview:
The environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund are to gain exposure to issuers demonstrating a robust ESG profile. The Fund also aims to gain increased exposure to issuers generating revenue from green projects, and those that exhibit lower levels of carbon emissions and fossil fuel reserves, relative to the companies that comprise the Parent Index. The Fund achieves this by tracking the Reference Index, which has a methodology that is consistent with attaining the environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund.
The environmental and/or social characteristics are achieved by applying the Index Provider’s exclusion criteria to the Parent Index and by applying re-weighting factors to the remaining eligible securities such that, relative to the Parent Index, the Index achieves an uplift in its ESG rating, increased exposure to revenue generated by green projects, and a reduction in its weighted average carbon emissions and fossil fuel reserve intensity.

Sustainable, Responsible &/or ESG Policy:
In order to achieve the investment objective, the Fund employs a replication method that looks to invest as far as possible and practicable in the constituents of the Reference Index. As such, the fund replicates the Sustainable, Responsible &/or ESG Policy embedded in its Reference Index.
This Fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics but does not have as its objective sustainable investment, however the Fund intends to make sustainable investments. The environmental and/or social characteristics promoted by the Fund are to gain exposure to issuers demonstrating a robust ESG profile, i.e. issuers with limited/ no involvement in certain business activities and with no involvement in severe ESG controversies. The Fund also aims to gain increased exposure to those issuers generating revenue from green projects, and those that exhibit lower levels of carbon emissions and fossil fuel reserves, relative to the companies that comprise the FTSE All-Share ex Investment Trusts Index (the “Parent Index”). The Fund achieves this by tracking the Reference Index, which has a methodology that is consistent with attaining the environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund.
Through a combination of the exclusion criteria detailed in the methodology of the Reference Index and the qualitative assessment and/or engagement of Invesco’s ESG team, it is ensured that investee companies follow good governance practices. The Fund takes into account the PAI indicators defined in Table 1 of Annex I of the RTS and ensures alignment with the OECD guidelines and UNGP, thereby ensuring that the sustainable investments do not cause any significant harm to environmental and/or social objectives.
A minimum of 90% of the Fund’s NAV will be selected according to the binding elements of the investment strategy. Up to 10% of the Fund’s NAV may not be aligned with the environmental and/or social characteristics of the Fund, this portion of the Fund may be invested in financial derivative instruments for hedging and/or efficient portfolio management purposes and cash for ancillary liquidity purposes. A minimum of 10% of the Fund’s NAV will be in sustainable investments.
Process:
The Fund’s objective is to achieve the net total return performance of the Reference Index, less fees, expenses and transaction costs. In order to achieve the investment objective, the Fund will employ a replication method that looks to invest as far as possible and practicable in the constituents of the Reference Index. The Fund intends to replicate the Reference Index by holding all of its constituent securities in a similar proportion to their weightings in the Reference Index.
The Index methodology of the Reference Index applies exclusion criteria to the FTSE All-Share ex Investment Trusts Index (the “Parent Index”) to exclude securities that:
- have faced very severe controversies pertaining to ESG issues (including UN Global Compact violations);
- are involved (as defined by the Index Provider) in any of the following business activities: Arctic oil and gas exploration, adult entertainment, controversial weapons, small arms, gambling, military contracting, nuclear power, oil sands, thermal coal, recreational cannabis and tobacco ; and
- do not have a FTSE Russell ESG Rating.
The Reference Index then applies a target exposure approach that assigns re-weighting factors to each of the remaining eligible securities. These factors are determined such that the Reference Index targets as near as possible:
- an uplift in the FTSE Russell ESG Rating, relative to the Parent Index, of the minimum of either 10% or one market cap weighted standard deviation;
- an increase in the weighted average percentage of revenue generated by green projects of 50%, relative to the Parent Index, based on data available to the Index Provider;
- a reduction in both the weighted average carbon emissions intensity (measured as Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Scope 1 and 2 emissions and calculated as operational carbon emissions in metric tons per million dollars revenue) and the weighted average fossil fuel reserve intensity of 50%, relative to the Parent Index, based on data available to the Index Provider.
The Reference Index is subject to the following constraints when applying the target exposure approach:
1) at each quarterly rebalance the two-way turnover (i.e. the sum of the individual weighting changes across all index constituents) of the Reference Index will not exceed 10%, unless it is not possible for the resultant target exposures, detailed above, to be achieved without a significant deviation from the targeted level for each, in which case this turnover constraint is relaxed in stages, whereby it is first set to 15% and then removed entirely if no feasible solution can be found. This process is set out in detail in the index methodology linked herein;
2) to limit industry divergence, aggregate Industry Classification Benchmark (“ICB”) industry weightings will not deviate by more than 2% from those in the Parent Index;
3) the weight of each individual constituent will not deviate by more than 3% from its weight in the Parent Index and will not exceed its weight in the Parent Index multiplied by a factor of five; and 4) the weight of each individual constituent will be capped at 7.5% and a floor of 0.05% will be applied such that eligible constituents with weights below the floor are removed. These conditions mean that any constituent with a weight in the Parent Index of less than 3% could be completely removed from the Reference Index.
The index methodology of the Reference Index includes good governance criteria whereby companies are assessed against indicators such as sound management structures, employee relations, remuneration of staff and tax compliance. Companies that are deemed not to meet good governance practices according to the methodology of the Reference Index will be excluded.
In addition to the assessment of good governance practices of companies by the index provider, the Investment Manager also implements a review of the constituents of the Reference Index at each rebalance to identify any gaps from a data coverage perspective in the methodology of the Reference Index. In the unlikely event that a company is not assessed in relation to good governance practices by the index provider, the Investment Manager and Invesco’s ESG team implements an internal process to review publicly available data and perform checks against UN Global Compact principles to verify that those companies follow good governance practices.

Disclaimer
Investment risks
The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.
The use of ESG criteria may affect the Fund’s investment performance and therefore may perform differently compared to similar products that do not screen investment opportunities against ESG criteria.
The issuers of the debt securities to which the product is exposed may not always make interest and other payments due to financial difficulties or insolvency. The value of the debt securities may fall due to poor market conditions, such as a decrease in market liquidity, and/or variations in interest rates. These risks increase where the product invests in high yield, or lower credit quality, bonds.
The product may be exposed to securities of emerging and developing markets, where difficulties in relation to market liquidity, dealing, settlement and custody problems could arise which could result in losses.
The product's use of financial derivatives may result in the product being leveraged, that is, the economic exposure created by using a derivative may be greater than the amount invested. The product, therefore, has the potential to lose more than it paid. If a counterparty becomes insolvent this will also result in a loss. The use of certain derivatives may also impair the product’s liquidity which may mean the product has to close positions at an unfavourable price.

Sustainable, Responsible &/or ESG Policy:In order to achieve the investment objective, the Fund employs a replication method that looks to invest as far as possible and practicable in the constituents of the Reference Index. As such, the fund replicates the Sustainable, Responsible &/or ESG Policy embedded in its Reference Index. This Fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics but does not have as its objective sustainable investment, however the Fund intends to make sustainable investments. The environmental and/or social characteristics promoted by the Fund are to gain exposure to issuers demonstrating a robust ESG profile, i.e. issuers with limited/ no involvement in certain business activities and with no involvement in severe ESG controversies. The Fund also aims to gain increased exposure to those issuers generating revenue from green projects, and those that exhibit lower levels of carbon emissions and fossil fuel reserves, relative to the companies that comprise the FTSE All-Share ex Investment Trusts Index (the “Parent Index”). The Fund achieves this by tracking the Reference Index, which has a methodology that is consistent with attaining the environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund. Through a combination of the exclusion criteria detailed in the methodology of the Reference Index and the qualitative assessment and/or engagement of Invesco’s ESG team, it is ensured that investee companies follow good governance practices. The Fund takes into account the PAI indicators defined in Table 1 of Annex I of the RTS and ensures alignment with the OECD guidelines and UNGP, thereby ensuring that the sustainable investments do not cause any significant harm to environmental and/or social objectives. A minimum of 90% of the Fund’s NAV will be selected according to the binding elements of the investment strategy. Up to 10% of the Fund’s NAV may not be aligned with the environmental and/or social characteristics of the Fund, this portion of the Fund may be invested in financial derivative instruments for hedging and/or efficient portfolio management purposes and cash for ancillary liquidity purposes. A minimum of 10% of the Fund’s NAV will be in sustainable investments. Process:The Fund’s objective is to achieve the net total return performance of the Reference Index, less fees, expenses and transaction costs. In order to achieve the investment objective, the Fund will employ a replication method that looks to invest as far as possible and practicable in the constituents of the Reference Index. The Fund intends to replicate the Reference Index by holding all of its constituent securities in a similar proportion to their weightings in the Reference Index. The Index methodology of the Reference Index applies exclusion criteria to the FTSE All-Share ex Investment Trusts Index (the “Parent Index”) to exclude securities that:
The Reference Index then applies a target exposure approach that assigns re-weighting factors to each of the remaining eligible securities. These factors are determined such that the Reference Index targets as near as possible:
The Reference Index is subject to the following constraints when applying the target exposure approach: 1) at each quarterly rebalance the two-way turnover (i.e. the sum of the individual weighting changes across all index constituents) of the Reference Index will not exceed 10%, unless it is not possible for the resultant target exposures, detailed above, to be achieved without a significant deviation from the targeted level for each, in which case this turnover constraint is relaxed in stages, whereby it is first set to 15% and then removed entirely if no feasible solution can be found. This process is set out in detail in the index methodology linked herein; 2) to limit industry divergence, aggregate Industry Classification Benchmark (“ICB”) industry weightings will not deviate by more than 2% from those in the Parent Index; 3) the weight of each individual constituent will not deviate by more than 3% from its weight in the Parent Index and will not exceed its weight in the Parent Index multiplied by a factor of five; and 4) the weight of each individual constituent will be capped at 7.5% and a floor of 0.05% will be applied such that eligible constituents with weights below the floor are removed. These conditions mean that any constituent with a weight in the Parent Index of less than 3% could be completely removed from the Reference Index.
The index methodology of the Reference Index includes good governance criteria whereby companies are assessed against indicators such as sound management structures, employee relations, remuneration of staff and tax compliance. Companies that are deemed not to meet good governance practices according to the methodology of the Reference Index will be excluded. In addition to the assessment of good governance practices of companies by the index provider, the Investment Manager also implements a review of the constituents of the Reference Index at each rebalance to identify any gaps from a data coverage perspective in the methodology of the Reference Index. In the unlikely event that a company is not assessed in relation to good governance practices by the index provider, the Investment Manager and Invesco’s ESG team implements an internal process to review publicly available data and perform checks against UN Global Compact principles to verify that those companies follow good governance practices.

Where gaps arise, we work to resolve them and continue to evaluate new data sets and approaches as sustainability‑related data evolves.
SDR Labelling:Not eligible to use label (out of scope) Key Performance Indicators:
The Investment objective is to track the FTSE All Share ex Investment Trusts ESG Climate Select Index. The index excludes:
The index targets a minimum:
The index tilts exposure to companies with a high ESG rating and Green Revenue focus, tilts away from those with high carbon emissions or fossil fuel reserves. LiteratureVoting RecordDisclaimerInvestment risks The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested. The use of ESG criteria may affect the Fund’s investment performance and therefore may perform differently compared to similar products that do not screen investment opportunities against ESG criteria. The issuers of the debt securities to which the product is exposed may not always make interest and other payments due to financial difficulties or insolvency. The value of the debt securities may fall due to poor market conditions, such as a decrease in market liquidity, and/or variations in interest rates. These risks increase where the product invests in high yield, or lower credit quality, bonds. The product may be exposed to securities of emerging and developing markets, where difficulties in relation to market liquidity, dealing, settlement and custody problems could arise which could result in losses. The product's use of financial derivatives may result in the product being leveraged, that is, the economic exposure created by using a derivative may be greater than the amount invested. The product, therefore, has the potential to lose more than it paid. If a counterparty becomes insolvent this will also result in a loss. The use of certain derivatives may also impair the product’s liquidity which may mean the product has to close positions at an unfavourable price.
