Invesco Bloomberg Analyst Rating Improvers ETF

UPGD tracks an equal-weighted index of large-and mid-cap US stocks that are identified to have the most improved consensus ratings based on analyst recommendations.

The Invesco Bloomberg Analyst Rating Improvers ETF targets stocks with improving analyst ratings, aiming to capture potential market winners based on the Bloomberg ANR Improvers Index. The UPGD ETF updates its holdings quarterly, maintaining a diversified portfolio with significant allocations in Consumer Staples, Industrials, and Information Technology. Despite underperforming compared to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, the fund's mid-cap focus and dynamic strategy offer unique exposure to analyst-upgraded stocks.

UPGD: A Super Interesting Fund Focused On Analysts

UPGD has seen a thorough recalibration earlier this year, with the underlying index replaced and its name changed. With a new strategy centered on "Bloomberg analyst rating improvers," UPGD has issues similar to its previous iteration. More specifically, the factor mix it is offering has a profound value tilt, while sufficient growth factor exposure is lacking, which is a disadvantage in the current environment.
