The Invesco MSCI USA ETF (PBUS) is designed to mirror the performance of the MSCI USA Index. The fund allocates a minimum of 90% of its total capital to the securities that comprise this underlying index.

Is PBUS's expense ratio expensive, average, or a steal for its category?
Pro reveals the verdict on a 5-tier spectrum calibrated against ICI 2025 industry averages, with strategy-aware bands so the comparison is meaningful.
Invesco MSCI USA ETF is a passively managed ETF with a focus on U.S. bellwethers. PBUS has a greater depth of exposure than iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, as well as stronger growth characteristics, plus it beat it a few times in the past. Its returns since inception are still weaker than IVV's. Another concern is its deep maximum drawdown. Besides, its lower earnings yield and slightly weaker quality detract from its appeal.
Invesco MSCI USA ETF offers a diversified portfolio of nearly 600 U.S. large-cap and mid-cap stocks with a low expense ratio of 0.04%. PBUS has slightly outperformed the S&P 500 index since inception, with comparable downside risk and higher growth exposure. PBUS is more diversified than the S&P 500, covering about 85% of the U.S. market-cap with 590 stocks.
The iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF (QUAL) is being reviewed and compared to the Invesco MSCI USA ETF (PBUS) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY). QUAL receives a Hold rating as it is a decent substitute for the SPY ETF, but the differences are too small to justify adding it to a Large-Cap allocation. PBUS, which covers the complete MSCI USA Index, generally invests at least 90% of its total assets in the securities that comprise the underlying index. It also gets a Hold.
A total of nine funds launched during the week ending Sept. 1, thus a dip after the 17 ETF launches last week but not unusual in the leadup to a holiday weekend.
