## Frequently Asked Questions

### What does XMLV invest in?

The Invesco S&P MidCap Low Volatility ETF (XMLV) is structured to replicate the performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Low Volatility Index. The fund's investment strategy typically involves allocating at least 90% of its total assets to the securities that comprise this benchmark. Standard & Poor's is responsible for developing, overseeing, and calculating this Index. It consists of 80 specific mid-capitalization securities, which are handpicked from the broader S&P MidCap 400 Index. The primary selection criterion is having demonstrated the least historical price fluctuation, or "realized volatility," over the preceding 12 months. Volatility itself is a statistical measure that quantifies the degree of upward and downward movements in an asset's price over time. Both the Fund and its underlying Index undergo quarterly adjustments to their composition and holdings. As of August 31, 2025, the Fund achieved an overall Morningstar rating of 4 stars, placing it among 577 evaluated funds. For specific timeframes, it earned 3 stars over the three-year period (out of 577 funds) and also 3 stars over the five-year period (out of 556 funds), while securing an impressive 5 stars for its ten-year performance (out of 405 funds). These ratings, provided by Morningstar Inc., are derived from a risk-adjusted return methodology. This approach considers monthly performance variations, giving greater weight to periods of decline and rewarding consistent returns. For comparative analysis, open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds are grouped together, and a fund must have at least three years of history to receive a rating. The comprehensive overall rating is a weighted average of the applicable three-, five-, and ten-year metrics, factoring in fees and expenses but excluding sales charges. Morningstar's data is proprietary and should not be reproduced or distributed; its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness is not guaranteed, and Morningstar disclaims responsibility for any damages or losses arising from its use. Investors should note that past performance does not guarantee future results. Within any given category, five stars are awarded to the top 10% of funds, four stars to the subsequent 22.5%, three stars to the next 35%, two stars to the following 22.5%, and one star to the bottom 10%. These ratings are subject to monthly revisions. Furthermore, if fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Morningstar rating might have been lower, and ratings for different share classes could vary due to their distinct performance characteristics.

### Why does XMLV cost more than a fund like VOO?

XMLV's strategy (current expense ratio 0.25%) is different from a broad-market index tracker like VOO, so its fee belongs to a different cohort. The Cost Verdict card above shows you where XMLV sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters.
