CIO Weekly: SpaceX-Led IPO Boom Forces Governance Into Focus

The $85 billion listing last month of SpaceX, Elon Musk's aerospace, satellite communications and artificial intelligence company, was an important market event.

QVMT: Why It's A Smart And Strong Complement To S&P 500 Index ETFs

The Invesco S&P 500 Concentrated QVM ETF recently changed strategies, now opting to hold 100 stocks based on their combined quality, value, and momentum characteristics. Its ER is 0.13%. Long-term non-backtested Index data as well as the returns of another Index-linked product demonstrate how QVMT has delivered comparable returns to S&P 500 Index ETFs over the last decade. Importantly, QVMT offers minimal exposure to mega cap growth stocks like Nvidia, trades at a 24% discount to IVV on TTM P/E, and overlaps by just 15%.

QVMT: Multifactor ETF With High Earnings Yield, Strong Quality Is Worth Shortlisting

The Invesco S&P 500 Concentrated QVM ETF offers exposure to 100 S&P 500 constituents selected using a multifactor screening based on quality, value, and momentum. With a tilt toward the low volatility and value factors, QVMT might do better than IVV if the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict escalates further and oil price continue marching higher. However, I expect it to underperform IVV this year and probably beyond, as low beta and small exposure to growth will more likely restrain upside capture.
