Description: IUS RAFI Strategic US

The Invesco RAFI Strategic US ETF (IUS) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to track an underlying index composed of equity securities of U.S. companies with larger, higher-quality businesses. The fund commits at least 80% of its total assets to securities within the index and uses a full replication methodology, holding each constituent in proportion to its weight in the index. The fund is listed on NASDAQ and is categorized as a Large Value ETF, despite its relatively small overall market capitalization of $927M USD.

The underlying index follows a fundamental weighting methodology developed by Research Affiliates (RAFI), which weights constituents based on fundamental business metrics such as sales, book value, cash flow, and dividends rather than by market capitalization. This approach is designed to emphasize companies with strong, established fundamentals and is commonly associated with the large-value segment of the U.S. equity market.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • US large-cap value rotation lifts underlying holdings
  • Fed rate policy shift favors value over growth equities
  • Fund AUM growth expands operating leverage and fee revenue
