Frequently asked questions
It’s a portfolio weighting approach that provides an alternative to weighting by market cap — stock price multiplied by outstanding shares. Two examples are equal weight and revenue weight.
An equal weight approach can help diversify portfolios by reducing concentration risk in market-capitalization-weighted indexes. Learn more about our equal weight funds:
- Invesco S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF (RSP)
- Invesco S&P 500® Equal Weight Technology ETF (RSPT)
- Invesco S&P 500® Equal Weight Energy ETF (RSPG)
A fundamental weight approach utilizes fundamental measures, such as sales, cash flow, dividends, or book value, to help eliminate pricing errors and provide broad-based exposure. Learn more about our fundamental weight funds:
- Invesco S&P 500 Revenue ETF (RWL)
- Invesco RAFI US 1000 ETF (PRF)
- Invesco S&P MidCap 400 Revenue ETF (RWK)
Factor investing is technically a subset of smart beta investing. Factor strategies select a group of stocks with similar characteristics and weight the stocks by the factor. Examples of factors are value, size, quality, low volatility, momentum, and dividend yield.
Our smart beta ETF lineup attempts to offer concentrated factor exposure through a methodical stock selection process with either unconstrained or wide-sector constraints. We offer a variety of equal weight and revenue-weighted smart beta ETFs.
As we continue to see a few large names dominate the weight of traditional market-cap indexes, a smart beta approach may offer investors a transparent way to reduce concentration risk and better diversify their equity exposures based on an alternative weighting approach. Factor investing helps investors access risk management strategies and can help them meet their financial objectives.

There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money. Shares are not actively managed and are subject to risks similar to those of stocks, including those regarding short selling and margin maintenance requirements. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply. The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Underlying Index. The Fund is subject to certain other risks. Please see the current prospectus for more information regarding the risk associated with an investment in the Fund.
Beta is a measure of risk representing how a security is expected to respond to general market movements. Smart Beta represents an alternative and selection index-based methodology that seeks to outperform a benchmark or reduce portfolio risk, both in active or passive vehicles. Smart beta funds may underperform cap-weighted benchmarks and increase portfolio risk.
Most ETFs disclose their holdings daily.
Since ordinary brokerage commissions apply for each buy and sell transaction, frequent trading activity may increase the cost of ETFs
Certain funds and portfolios, particularly the Invesco ETFs, in and of themselves do not qualify as diversified investment strategies.
Types of rewarded factors
Investors can access rewarded factors, like value, size, quality, low volatility, dividend yield, and momentum, to generate potential excess returns.1 Each rewarded factor can be categorized into a factor type: Offensive, defensive, or trending.
Offensive factors
Aim to outperform the broad market during periods of strong equity returns or accelerating economic growth.
Stocks trading at discount compared to intrinsic value based on measures, such as price-to-earnings ratio or sales.
Stocks with smaller market capitalization.
Defensive factors
Aim to outperform in down markets or decelerating economic growth and tend to have lower volatility.
Stocks with low leverage and high return on equity (ROE), cash flows, and profitability.
Stocks with lower-than-average volatility (standard deviation) or beta.
Stocks with higher dividend payouts.
Trending factors
Can be offensive or defensive but lean toward benefiting from consistent market trends.
Stocks with recent strong performance.
