To reflect this new investment strategy, the fund will be renamed Invesco Monthly Income ETF Portfolio.

“The goal of these changes is to create a more diversified portfolio that can provide the potential for lower volatility and higher risk-adjusted returns, while maintaining a focus on monthly income generation,” says Invesco.

All changes will be effective as of the close of business on Jan. 19, 2018.
