What changed recently

  • Over the three months to Jul 31, 2026, investors added a net $313.5M (creations minus redemptions, per the N-PORT report).
  • Monthly total returns reported for that quarter: +10.04%, +4.53%, -9.07%.

How it works

PWB tracks the Dynamic Large Cap Growth Intellidex Index, which is built and maintained by ICE Data Indices. The index provider starts with the 2,000 largest US stocks listed on the NYSE, NYSE American and Nasdaq. It ranks them for investment potential using its own Intellidex model, then keeps 50 large companies with strong growth traits. They are chosen mainly for their potential to rise in price. As of June 30, 2026, the companies in the index ranged from $32.3 billion to $4.8 trillion in market value.

The fund uses "full replication." That means it buys every stock in the index in the same proportions as the index. As a result, the money is spread fairly evenly instead of piling into the biggest companies. As of July 31, 2026, the largest positions were Mastercard (4.0%), Visa (3.8%), Applied Materials (3.8%), Amazon (3.5%) and Apple (3.4%). The top 10 made up 34.6% of assets. Technology was the largest sector by far, at 39.1%.

The model reshuffles holdings often. Portfolio turnover, the share of the portfolio replaced over a year, was 97%. Trading costs from that turnover come on top of the expense ratio. The fund held no derivatives and only 0.06% in cash. If the index leans heavily into one industry, the fund will too. If a few stocks grow large, the fund could become "non-diversified," meaning more of its money could sit in a handful of companies.

What it really costs

  • PWB charges 0.55% a year, versus an average of 0.24% for the similar funds below (8th of 9, cheapest first).
  • Of that, 0.5% is the management fee; the rest covers other fund expenses.
  • Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $56 in the first year and $689 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).

In a retirement portfolio

RoleSatellite (higher risk)

PWB is a 50-stock growth fund that is heavy in technology, swings more than the market and pays no income, so it fits better as a smaller slice next to a broad core fund.

PWB could add a tilt toward fast-growing large companies, but it has taken deep losses in downturns. Its one-year beta was 1.64 as of October 27, 2026. Beta measures how much a fund tends to move when the market moves. PWB lost 52.6% from October 2007 to March 2009 and didn't regain its peak until March 26, 2012. It fell 32.3% in the 2020 COVID crash and recovered in 3.3 months. It fell 30% in the 2022 bear market and took until January 2024 to recover. Its worst calendar year was 2008, with a loss of 42.2%. Selling shares in slumps like these would lock in steep losses. PWB paid no distributions in the 12 months through October 27, 2026. Its 0.55% fee is well above the 0.24% peer average. Past results don't predict future returns, and a plan should weigh the whole portfolio, not one fund.

Who it may suit — and who should look elsewhere

May suit

  • Investors who want a rules-based growth fund that spreads money roughly evenly across 50 stocks instead of leaning on a few giant companies.
  • Long-horizon investors who can ride out drops like its 52.6% fall in 2007–2009, which took until March 2012 to recover.
  • People adding a smaller growth slice to a broad core fund who want exposure beyond tech, such as Mastercard, Visa, Costco and Caterpillar.

Look elsewhere if

  • Cost-focused investors: PWB's 0.55% expense ratio compares with 0.04% for Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) and 0.20% for Invesco QQQ Trust.
  • Retirees who need regular income; PWB paid no distributions in the 12 months through October 27, 2026.
  • Investors who prefer steady holdings; 97% turnover means the model replaces much of the portfolio, and results can differ widely from broad growth indexes.

Questions investors ask

Does PWB pay dividends?

No. PWB paid no distributions in the 12 months through October 27, 2026, so its trailing yield was 0%. Its returns have come from changes in its share price, not from income. The fund holds 50 growth companies, and many of them reinvest their profits instead of paying large dividends. Investors who need cash from their portfolio would have to sell shares, and that can hurt more in a falling market.

What is PWB's expense ratio?

PWB's expense ratio is 0.55% a year, according to its prospectus filed August 27, 2026. That includes a 0.50% management fee. In the SEC's standard example, with $10,000 invested and a 5% annual return, costs come to about $56 after one year and $689 after 10 years. The average for similar growth funds is 0.24%, and PWB ranks 8th of 9 on cost in that group.

What's the difference between PWB and QQQ?

Both come from Invesco and hold many of the same stocks, with about 42% overlap. PWB holds 50 stocks picked by a ranking model and weights them fairly evenly. QQQ charges 0.20% a year, versus PWB's 0.55%. QQQ is also far larger, with about $490 billion in net assets as of June 30, 2026, compared with PWB's $2.3 billion. Over the past year, PWB's price return was 17.3% through October 27, 2026. QQQ's was 13% through October 29, 2026.

How did PWB do in 2022?

Badly. PWB lost 25.8% in calendar year 2022, according to its prospectus. From its peak on January 3, 2022, to its low on October 12, 2022, it fell 30%. It didn't recover that peak until January 19, 2024, about 15 months after the low. Its worst quarter on record was the one ending June 30, 2022, with a loss of 18.77%. Growth stocks and tech-heavy funds were hit especially hard that year.

What are PWB's long-term returns?

As of December 31, 2025, PWB's average annual returns were 24.95% over one year, 13.66% over five years and 15.52% over 10 years. Those figures come from its prospectus. Through October 27, 2026, the fund was up 20.9% for the year to date. It ranked 1st of 9 similar funds on one-year and three-year price returns. Those gains came with big swings, including a 52.6% drop from 2007 to 2009.
