About
The Invesco Global Active ESG Equity UCITS ETF Acc endeavors to generate enhanced risk-adjusted returns over an extended period, aiming to outperform the broader global equity markets. It achieves this by strategically investing in a dynamically managed collection of international companies that strictly conform to a defined set of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) standards. Prospective investments are initially subjected to a comprehensive screening process to verify their adherence to the fund's ESG benchmarks. Following this, they are systematically evaluated based on their appeal across three primary investment dimensions: Value (identifying companies that appear inexpensive when compared to market averages), Quality (selecting businesses that exhibit superior financial strength and balance sheet health relative to market norms), and Momentum (focusing on firms whose past share price movements or earnings expansion have consistently exceeded market averages). From this vetted pool, the fund curates a specific subset of stocks. This selection is guided by an optimization approach designed to maximize exposure to the aforementioned investment factors while concurrently targeting a risk level aligned with the fund's core objective. The stock selection itself is powered by a proprietary "quantitative investment model," which applies advanced mathematical, logical, and statistical methods. The portfolio's constituents are adjusted and rebalanced each month. It's important to understand that while the MSCI World Index is presented for comparative performance analysis, this fund is actively managed and does not seek to mirror or track that index. Therefore, an investment in this fund signifies the purchase of units in an actively managed investment vehicle, rather than direct ownership of the underlying assets held within its portfolio.

Invesco Global Active ESG Equity UCITS ETF manages about $3.4B. Its expense ratio is 0.3% a year, deducted inside the fund. It launched in 2019.
Is IQSA a UCITS ETF?
Yes. Invesco Global Active ESG Equity UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund domiciled in Ireland, set up under the European Union's UCITS rules for funds sold across Europe. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange ETF segment and trades in US dollars.
What are IQSA's largest holdings?
The top three are NVIDIA CORP USD0.001 (6.2%), ALPHABET INC-CL A USD0.001 (4.6%) and MICROSOFT CORP USD0.00000625 (3.6%). IQSA's 10 largest positions make up 24.9% of the fund.
Is IQSA subject to US estate tax?
No. Because IQSA is domiciled in Ireland rather than the US, it is not a US-situs asset, so US estate tax does not apply to it. US-listed ETFs held directly can be taxed at up to 40% above $60,000 when they pass to your family.
How are US dividends taxed inside IQSA?
The US withholds 15% on dividends from the US shares the fund holds, and that tax is paid inside the fund. You cannot claim it as a Foreign Tax Credit in India.
How are gains on IQSA taxed in India?
Units held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5% without indexation; units held for 24 months or less are taxed at your income-tax slab rate. The gain is worked out in rupees, so the currency move counts.
How has IQSA performed?
IQSA's price is up 22.8% over the past year and up 98.1% over five years. These figures are price change only and exclude dividends; past performance does not guarantee future returns.
How is IQSA different from a US-listed ETF?
IQSA is domiciled in Ireland rather than the US. That keeps it outside US estate tax, and dividend withholding on its US shares is 15%, paid inside the fund, instead of the 25% withheld on a US-listed ETF. The 25% can generally be claimed as a credit in India; the 15% cannot. Capital gains on both are taxed the same way in India.
