QQI expands access to the innovation profile of the QQQ Innovation Suite through companies outside the U.S.

ATLANTA, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco Ltd. (NYSE: IVZ), a leading global asset management firm, today announced it is expanding the Invesco QQQ Innovation Suite by launching the Invesco Nasdaq International Innovators 100 ETF (QQI). As the first internationally focused strategy in the suite, QQI provides investors with access to innovative companies outside the United States through a rules-based approach designed to identify businesses demonstrating a similar innovation, growth and profitability profile as the QQQ Innovation Suite.

"QQI aims to capture the performance of innovative companies located outside the United States, allowing investors to harness global securities that exhibit similar characteristics of the Invesco QQQ Innovation Suite," said Brian Hartigan, Global Head of ETFs & Index Investments at Invesco. "This launch reinforces our commitment to providing investors with a comprehensive view of innovation across geographies, market capitalizations and investment objectives through the largest suite of Nasdaq Index-tracking ETFs, with more than $500 billion in assets under management."¹

QQI seeks to track the Nasdaq International Innovators 100 Index^™, which selects 100 companies from the Nasdaq Global Ex United States Large Mid Cap Index^™ with the highest Innovator scores. The methodology evaluates factors such as research and development intensity, revenue growth and profitability to identify companies demonstrating strong dedication to innovation across developed and emerging markets. Together, these companies provide investors with targeted exposure to innovative businesses outside the United States. The portfolio is designed to reflect the size of the companies in the index and is reviewed quarterly to help ensure it remains aligned with the Index.

"For more than two decades, Nasdaq and Invesco have worked together to help investors access innovative companies through index-based investment solutions," said Cameron Lilja, Global Head of Index Solutions at Nasdaq. "We're pleased to support the continued expansion of the Invesco QQQ Innovation Suite, extending its innovation-focused approach to companies beyond the United States."

QQI launches at a time when investors are increasingly reassessing international markets amid shifting trade dynamics, evolving supply chains and renewed interest in geographic diversification. As leadership broadens beyond a narrow group of U.S. companies, opportunities are evolving across developed and emerging markets for businesses investing in technologies, research and other long-term growth drivers.

"Many investors are looking to diversify beyond the U.S. while maintaining exposure to the companies shaping tomorrow's economy," said Paul Schroeder, Director & QQQ Product Strategist at Invesco. "QQI was designed for this environment, providing exposure to international companies that are investing in their future and demonstrating an ability to translate those investments into growth. As market leadership broadens globally, we believe that investors have an opportunity to complement or replace traditional international allocations with an approach targeting innovative, growth-driven businesses."

QQI joins a growing lineup of innovation-focused ETFs within the Invesco QQQ Innovation Suite, which includes flagship strategies such as Invesco QQQ, Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM), Invesco NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF (QQQJ), Invesco NASDAQ Future Gen 200 ETF (QQQS), Invesco QQQ Income Advantage ETF (QQA), Invesco Top QQQ ETF (QBIG), Invesco QQQ Hedged Advantage ETF (QQHG) and Invesco QQQ Equal Weight ETF (QEW). Together, this ETF suite offers investors multiple ways to access innovation through differentiated portfolio construction approaches, investment outcomes and now, international exposure.

QQI has a total expense ratio of 0.29%.

About Risk
There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money. Index-based ETFs are not actively managed. Actively managed ETFs do not necessarily seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. Both index-based and actively managed ETFs are subject to risks similar to stocks, including those related to short selling and margin maintenance. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply. The Fund's return may not match the return of the Index. The Funds are subject to certain other risks. Please see the current prospectus for more information regarding the risk associated with an investment in the Funds.

Investments focused on a particular sector, such as information technology, are subject to greater risk and are more greatly impacted by market volatility than more diversified investments.

QQQM, QQQJ, QEW and QQI
The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, political and economic instability, and foreign taxation issues.

QQQM, QQQS and QQI
The Fund is non-diversified and may experience greater volatility than a more diversified investment.

QQLV
In general, equity values fluctuate, sometimes widely, in response to activities specific to the company as well as general market, economic and political conditions.

There is no assurance that the Fund will provide low volatility.

The Fund may become "non-diversified," as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Index. Shareholder approval will not be sought when the Fund crosses from diversified to non-diversified status under such circumstances.

Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of its Underlying Index. Therefore, the Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

QBIG
Securities held by the Fund are subject to market fluctuations. You should anticipate that the value of the Shares will decline, more or less, in correlation with any decline in value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio. Additionally, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, economic crises or other events could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Fund's net asset value ("NAV").

The Fund is subject to management risk because a portion of its assets are actively managed. In managing certain of the Fund's investment sleeves and other portfolio holdings, the Adviser applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment and asset allocation decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these actions will produce the desired results.

While a portion of the Fund's portfolio is actively managed, another portion of the Fund's portfolio is designed to track the performance of the Index. In managing this portion of the Fund's portfolio, the portfolio managers will not generally buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from the Index, regardless of the performance of that security. If a specific security is removed from the Index, the Fund may be forced to sell such security at an inopportune time or for a price lower than the security's current market value. The Index may not contain the appropriate mix of securities for any particular economic cycle.

Swaps involve greater risks than direct investments. Swaps are subject to leveraging, liquidity and counterparty risks, and therefore may be difficult to value. Adverse changes in the value or level of the swap can result in gains or losses that are substantially greater than invested, with the potential for unlimited loss.

Derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional investments and are subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. An investment in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested.

Risks of futures contracts include: an imperfect correlation between the value of the futures contract and the underlying commodity; possible lack of a liquid secondary market; inability to close a futures contract when desired; losses due to unanticipated market movements; obligation for the Fund to make daily cash payments to maintain its required margin; failure to close a position may result in the Fund receiving an illiquid commodity; and unfavorable execution prices.

Counterparty risk is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligations, which may cause losses or additional costs.

Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments may impair the fund's liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time or lose more than it invested, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.

To the extent the Fund holds cash or cash equivalents rather than securities or other instruments in which it primarily invests, the Fund risks losing opportunities to participate in market appreciation and may experience potentially lower returns.

Collateral may include obligations issued or guaranteed by the US government, its agencies and instrumentalities, including bills, notes and bonds issued by the US Treasury, money market funds and corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper. Although the Fund may hold securities that carry US government guarantees, these guarantees do not extend to shares of the Fund. Money market funds are subject to management fees and other expenses. Therefore, investments in money market funds will cause the Fund to bear indirectly a proportional share of the fees and costs of the money market funds in which it invests. At the same time, the Fund will continue to pay its own management fees and expenses with respect to all of its assets, including any portion invested in the shares of the money market fund. It is possible to lose money by investing in money market funds. Corporate debt securities such as commercial paper generally are short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses. Corporate debt may be rated investment grade and below-investment grade and may carry variable, or floating, rates of interest. Corporate debt securities carry both credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk is the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer of a corporate debt security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. Some corporate debt securities that are rated below investment grade generally are considered speculative because they present a greater risk of loss, including default, than higher quality debt securities.

Obligations issued by US Government agencies and instrumentalities may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the fund's ability to recover should they default.

Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise and vice versa.

The Fund typically will hold a small number of positions. To the extent that a significant portion of the Fund's total assets is invested in a limited number of holdings, the appreciation or depreciation of any one position may have a greater impact on the Fund's NAV than it would if the Fund held a greater number of constituents.

American Depository Receipts (ADRs) may be subject to certain of the risks associated with direct investments in the securities of foreign companies. ADRs may not track the price of the underlying securities on which they are based, and their value may change materially at times when US markets are not open for trading.

The value of an individual security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

The Fund currently intends to effect creations and redemptions principally for cash, rather than principally in-kind because of the nature of the Fund's investments. As such, investments in the Fund may be less tax efficient than investments in ETFs that create and redeem in-kind.

The Fund is subject to numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market, losses from trading in secondary markets, and disruption in the creation/redemption process. During stressed market conditions, Shares may become less liquid as result of deteriorating liquidity which could lead to differences in the market price and the underlying value of those Shares.

To qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC"), the Fund must meet a qualifying income test each taxable year. Failure to comply with the test would have significant negative tax consequences for shareholders. The Fund believes that income from futures should be treated as qualifying income for purposes of this test, thus qualifying the Fund as a RIC. If the IRS were to determine that the Fund's income is derived from the futures did not constitute qualifying income, the Fund likely would be required to reduce its exposure to such investments in order to maintain its RIC status.

QQA
Securities held by the Fund are subject to market fluctuations. You should anticipate that the value of the Shares will decline, more or less, in correlation with any decline in value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio. Additionally, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, economic crises or other events could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Fund's net asset value ("NAV").

The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

While the Fund is actively managed, a substantial portion of the Fund's portfolio is designed to track the performance of the Index. In managing this portion of the Fund's portfolio, the portfolio managers will not generally buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from the Index, regardless of the performance of that security. If a specific security is removed from the Index, the Fund may be forced to sell such security at an inopportune time or for a price lower than the security's current market value. In general, equity values fluctuate, sometimes widely, in response to activities specific to the company as well as general market, economic and political conditions.

Investments in ELNs are susceptible to the risks of their underlying instruments, which could include management risk, market risk and, as applicable, foreign securities and currency risks. ELNs are also subject to certain debt securities risks, such as interest rate and credit risks. Should the prices of the underlying instruments move in an unexpected manner, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of an investment in an ELN, and may realize losses, which could be significant and could include the Fund's entire principal investment. An ELN investment is also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the issuer of the ELN will default or become bankrupt and the Fund may not be repaid the principal amount of, or income from, its investment. ELNs may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell ELNs at a desirable time or price. In addition, the price of ELNs may not correlate with the underlying securities or a fixed income investment.

Derivatives - Derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional investments and are subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. An investment in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested.

A decision as to whether, when and how to use options involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even a well conceived option transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. The prices of options can be highly volatile and the use of options can lower total returns.

Short sales may cause an investor to repurchase a security at a higher price, causing a loss. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, exposure to potential loss is unlimited.

QQQJ
The Fund may become "non-diversified," as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or constituents of the Index. Shareholder approval will not be sought when the Fund crosses from diversified to non-diversified status under such circumstances.

Stocks of medium-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments, may be more volatile, and may be illiquid or restricted as to resale.

QQQS
Stocks of small and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments, may be more volatile, and may be illiquid or restricted as to resale.

The Fund's Underlying Index (Index) is composed of companies with valuable portfolios of patents. The Index Provider relies on an independent data provider to ascertain the potential value of an issuer's patents and related intangible assets (i.e., intellectual property and research & development activities) for inclusion in the Index. The Fund's performance may suffer if the data provider does not correctly value an issuer's patents or if the companies included in the Index ultimately do not benefit from holding such patents. There is no guarantee that the Index will be composed of companies with the most valuable patents.

QQHG
Securities held by the Fund are subject to market fluctuations. You should anticipate that the value of the Shares will decline, more or less, in correlation with any decline in value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio. Additionally, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, economic crises or other events could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Fund's net asset value ("NAV")

The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

In general, equity values fluctuate, sometimes widely, in response to activities specific to the company as well as general market, economic and political conditions.

Investments focused in a particular industry are subject to greater risk, and are more greatly impacted by market volatility, than more diversified investments.

Information Technology Sector Concentration - Investments focused in a particular sector, such as information technology, are subject to greater risk, and are more greatly impacted by market volatility, than more diversified investments.

The put/collar strategy used to seek to protect the Fund against a decline in value may not work as intended.

The Fund is non-diversified and may experience greater volatility than a more diversified investment.

The value of an individual security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

The Fund is subject to certain other risks. Please see the current prospectus for more information regarding the risks associated with an investment in the Fund.

QEW
Because the underlying Fund operates as a passively managed index fund, adverse performance of a particular stock ordinarily will not result in its elimination from the underlying Fund's portfolio.

Ordinarily, the Adviser will not sell the underlying Fund's portfolio securities except to reflect changes in the stocks that comprise the Index, or as may be necessary to raise cash to pay underlying fund shareholders who sell underlying fund shares.

The value of an individual security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

An investment in an underlying fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any underlying fund of equity or fixed-income securities traded on exchanges. You should anticipate that the value of the shares will decline, more or less, in correlation with any decline in value of the underlying index of certain underlying exchange-traded funds.

The Fund is considered non-diversified and may experience greater volatility than a more diversified investment. ADRs and GDRs may be subject to certain of the risks associated with direct investments in the securities of foreign companies, such as currency, political, economic and market risks, because their values depend on the performance of the non-dollar denominated underlying foreign securities.

An underlying Fund's return may not match the return of the underlying index of certain underlying ETFs for a number of reasons, including underlying expenses and trading costs. In addition, the performance of the Fund and the underlying index of certain underlying ETFs may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the underlying Fund's portfolio and the underlying index.

QQI
Stocks of medium-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments, may be more volatile, and may be illiquid or restricted as to resale.
