Invesco Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (RSPA)

History and Background

Invesco Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Fund Trust is a suite of actively managed ETFs offered by Invesco. While a specific founding year isn't applicable (as it's a collection of funds), the individual ETFs were launched at various times starting in the early 2010s. Invesco itself has a long history, evolving from Citizens & Southern National Bank in the 1930s. The ETF trust represents a move towards offering actively managed investment strategies in the ETF wrapper.

Competitive Landscape

Invesco competes with other large asset managers in the ETF market. Its competitive advantages include its established brand name, diverse product offerings, and strong distribution network. However, it faces challenges from lower-cost providers and performance variability.

Historical Growth: Growth is tied to the ETF market and investor demand for actively managed strategies. Refer to Invesco Ltd.'s (IVZ) annual reports for growth metrics.

Future Projections: Future growth depends on market conditions, investor preferences, and Invesco's ability to innovate and attract assets.

Recent Initiatives: Invesco continually launches new ETFs and enhances existing products to meet investor demand. These initiatives are announced through press releases and regulatory filings.

Invesco's actively managed ETF trust is a mixed bag, with the strength of the parent company giving it a secure base. The ETFs offered are diverse, offering access to different segments, however actively managed ETFs face increased scrutiny due to higher costs and underperformance of set benchmarks, and Invesco needs to be aware of that to focus on their high performing ETFs. Their performance and market share should be reviewed and new opportunities should be found to keep ahead in this very competitive market.
