About Invesco RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid ETF
The Invesco RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid ETF (PRFZ) aims to replicate the performance of the RAFI Fundamental Select US 1500 Index. Typically, the Fund allocates at least 90% of its total assets to the common stocks that make up this index. The underlying index focuses on tracking the performance of small and medium-sized U.S. companies. Its constituent firms are chosen based on four core financial indicators: book value, cash flow generation, sales revenue, and dividend payments. Specifically, the index selects equities ranked between 1,001 and 2,500 in fundamental size from a universe of 3,000 companies, assigning each a weight proportional to its fundamental value. Both the ETF's portfolio and the index's composition undergo annual rebalancing. A significant shift is scheduled for the close of business on March 21, 2025. The Fund will transition from its current benchmark, the FTSE RAFI US 1500 Mid Small Index, to the RAFI Fundamental Select US 1500 Index. Concurrently, the Fund's official name will be "Invesco RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid ETF."
