Invesco Announces Small-Cap ETF in QQQ Innovation Suite

Elle CarusoOct 13, 2022
2022-10-13

Invesco today expanded the Invesco QQQ Innovation Suite with the launch of a new ETF.

The Invesco NASDAQ Future Gen 200 ETF (QQQS) will access smaller-cap companies screened by a key marker of innovation – high-quality patents. 

QQQS will add an efficient overlay to small-cap and micro-cap companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market that are not included in the Nasdaq 100 Index or Nasdaq Next Generation 100 Index. High-quality and high value patents may indicate future innovation potential in a smaller-cap company, according to a statement from the firm.

The other funds in the Invesco QQQ Innovation Suite include the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ B+), the Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM B), the Invesco ESG NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQMG B-), the Invesco NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF (QQQJ B), and the Invesco ESG NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF (QQJG B-).

“With QQQ and QQQJ, Invesco has garnered attention from advisors and investors eager to gain diversified exposure to fast-growing companies across multiple sectors,” Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, said. “It is great to see a new offering focused on more up-and-coming smaller companies to round out portfolios.”

QQQS will track the Nasdaq Innovators Completion Cap Index, an intelligent, equal weighted index that uses a patent data screen created by IPR Strategies, Invesco said in a statement.  

IPR Strategies, a leader in the science of patent valuation, believes that high quality and high value patents represent a future asset and are an early indicator of future positive value. IPR Strategies works with Nasdaq to assign a realistic value to patents based on multiple parameters, including a high commitment to research and development and valuable intellectual property, to source small-cap and micro-cap companies that may be laying the groundwork to become the next industry giants. Given its long-standing expertise in smart beta, Invesco believes that the addition of a thoughtfully composed layer of criteria (patent value) to an overall capitalization screen (small and micro-cap) may be successful in identifying companies with a focus on innovation in their industries, Invesco said in a statement.

“Companies included in the Invesco QQQ Innovation Suite have always spent considerably more on research and development, and Invesco wanted to capture that same commitment to innovation on a smaller cap-tier,” John Hoffman, Americas Head of ETFs and Index Strategies, Invesco, said in a statement. “By applying a high quality patent screen, the QQQS portfolio will focus on smaller-cap companies with a competitive advantage on certain inventions. This will allow investors to customize their market capitalization exposure to companies who are pioneering the future.”
