Invesco FTSE Emerging Markets High Dividend Low Volatility UCITS ETF Dist

What this fund is

Invesco FTSE Emerging Markets High Dividend Low Volatility UCITS ETF Dist is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Invesco, traded under the ticker EMHD (ISIN IE00BYYXBF44). It lets you buy a basket of holdings in a single trade, spreading your money across them rather than one company. In plain terms it is about owning small slices of companies, so you share in their growth when they do well — and their falls when they don't, spread across its target market. Rather than a manager picking stocks, it simply replicates the FTSE Emerging High Dividend Low Volatility Net Tax Index index — the passive, low-cost approach, and its largest holdings include NOVATEK MICROELECTRONICS COR TWD10, MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS CO KWd100 and FIBRA UNO ADMINISTRACION SA NPV. With about 202 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 16.4%), your money is diversified rather than concentrated in a handful of names.

Its biggest country exposures are ~24.6% China, ~23.1% Brazil and ~8.5% Taiwan. Its heaviest sectors are ~24.2% Financials and ~14.2% Energy. Funds like this are commonly chosen by investors who want a regular cash income stream rather than reinvesting everything for growth. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.49% a year — about €49 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. It is a distributing share class — dividends are paid to you as cash rather than reinvested, and over the last year it paid out roughly 0.78% (its trailing yield).

It holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication); it is domiciled in Ireland and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in USD. Its price has swung about 11.3% over the past year — a gauge of how much the value moves, not a judgement of quality. It launched in 2016. Like any investment, it can lose value as well as gain, and what it did before does not predict what it will do next. (Fund data sourced from Invesco.)
