Invesco Ltd., a leading global asset management firm, 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%.
