XSVM in Focus

Invesco S&P SmallCap Value with Momentum ETF offers exposure to the companies having the highest "value scores" and "momentum scores." It has key holdings in financials, consumer discretionary, industrials and energy sectors. The product charges 36 bps in annual fees.

Why the Move?

The small-cap corner segment of the broader stock market has been an area to watch lately, given robust GDP growth data. The world's biggest economy's growth accelerated in the second quarter, primarily driven by solid consumer spending and higher business investment. GDP picked up 2.8% annually, higher than 2% growth expected by economists surveyed by Bloomberg and 1.4% in the first quarter.

Small-cap stocks generally lead the way higher on improving American economic health as these are closely tied to the U.S. economy and generate most of their revenues from the domestic market.
