The Invesco RAFI Strategic US ETF (the Fund) is designed to mirror the investment outcomes of the Invesco Strategic US Index (the Index). Typically, the Fund allocates at least 80% of its total assets to the securities that constitute this Index. The Index itself is constructed to measure the performance of prominent, high-quality American corporations. Securities are initially assigned a "Business-Size" score, which is an equally-weighted average of their sales, operating cash flow, total return of capital, and book value, calculated over the preceding five years or since the security's inception. For real estate-specific securities, this calculation adapts: funds from operations replace operating cash flow, and total assets substitute for book value. Next, a "Quality" score is determined for each security. This score is also an equally-weighted average, factoring in the company's efficiency (its sales-to-assets ratio from the prior year) and its growth (the percentage change in the sales-to-assets ratio over the last five years or the security's lifespan). For inclusion in the Index, eligible securities are first ranked in descending order by their Business-Size score. Only those falling within the top 90% by Business-Size are considered; from this subset, only the 80% possessing the highest Quality scores are ultimately selected. Once chosen, Index components are weighted based on their float-adjusted Business-Size scores. Both the Fund and the Index undergo annual rebalancing and reconstitution. As of August 31, 2022, Morningstar Inc. awarded the Fund an impressive overall 5-star rating, placing it among 1,154 comparable funds. It also achieved a 5-star rating for its 3-year performance (out of 1,154 funds), though ratings for the 5- and 10-year periods were not available. Morningstar's ratings are calculated using a risk-adjusted return metric that emphasizes consistent performance and accounts for downward fluctuations. For comparative purposes, open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds are grouped together. A fund must have at least a three-year track record to receive a rating. The overall rating is a weighted average of the 3-, 5-, and 10-year ratings, where applicable, and reflects fees and expenses but excludes sales charges. ©2022 Morningstar Inc. retains all proprietary rights to this information; it must not be copied or distributed, and its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness are not guaranteed. Morningstar and its content providers disclaim responsibility for any damages or losses stemming from the use of this information. Investors should note that past performance is not indicative of future results. Within a category, the top 10% of funds receive five stars, the next 22.5% four stars, and so on. Ratings are subject to monthly changes. It is also important to understand that if fees had not been waived or expenses reimbursed, the Morningstar rating might have been lower, and ratings can differ for other share classes due to varying performance characteristics. ### What is the expense ratio of IUS?

IUS's strategy (current expense ratio 0.19%) is different from a broad-market index tracker like VOO, so its fee belongs to a different cohort.
