Invesco ESG S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF

Invesco ESG S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSPE) tracks an S&P index that keeps the highest-scoring 40% of eligible S&P 500 companies in each industry group by ESG (environmental, social and governance) score, then gives each the same weight. It excludes oil and gas, weapons, tobacco and other screened businesses. Its 0.20% expense ratio matches Invesco's unscreened RSP, but with $73 million in assets as of August 31, 2026, it is far smaller.

• Over the year to Oct 27, 2026, RSPE returned +20.5%, 1st of 9 among similar funds.
• Its worst full calendar year was 2022 (-12.2%); its best was 2025 (+14.6%).
• The deepest fall in its price history was 22.9% (Jan 4, 2022 to Sep 30, 2022), recovered by Feb 12, 2024.

As of Aug 31, 2026, the fund held 184 securities; the ten largest made up 8.17% of assets.

By sector

• Over the three months to Aug 31, 2026, investors added a net $5.2M (creations minus redemptions, per the N-PORT report).
• Monthly total returns reported for that quarter: +3.13%, +0.32%, +2.23%.

RSPE seeks to track the S&P 500 Equal Weight Scored & Screened Leaders Select Index, built by S&P Dow Jones Indices. The starting point is the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index. It holds every S&P 500 stock at the same weight instead of weighting by company size (market capitalization, or "cap-weighting"). Screens then remove three groups of companies. The first is the oil and gas storage and transportation industry. The second is companies above set revenue or ownership limits in activities such as oil and gas, thermal coal, military contracting, small arms, nuclear power, tobacco, alcohol and gambling. The third is companies that the ESG research firm Sustainalytics rates as non-compliant with the UN Global Compact principles on human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption.

The remaining companies are ranked by S&P Global ESG score, which compares each company with others in its industry. Generally the top 40% in each industry group are kept, so industry weights stay close to the parent index. Companies with no score are left out. As of October 31, 2025, the index had 185 stocks.

The fund uses full replication, which means it owns essentially every index stock at its index weight. It generally trades only when the index changes. Weights drift between rebalancings as prices move. As of August 31, 2026, Moderna was the largest position at 1.6%, and the top 10 made up 8.2% of assets.

• RSPE charges 0.2% a year, versus an average of 0.2% for the similar funds below (5th of 9, cheapest first).
• Using the prospectus's standard example, $10,000 invested would cost about $20 in the first year and $255 over 10 years (assuming a 5% annual return).

Equal weighting and ESG screens tilt RSPE away from the largest companies, so it can balance a cap-weighted S&P 500 fund, though its small size and short record make it a less obvious sole core holding.

RSPE could balance a portfolio built on cap-weighted index funds, because no stock dominates. Its top 10 holdings were 8.2% of assets as of August 31, 2026. It launched in November 2021, so it has no record from the 2008 or 2020 crashes. In the 2022 bear market it fell 22.9% from January 4 to September 30, 2022. It did not regain its peak until February 12, 2024, about 16 months after the low. Its worst calendar year was 2022, at about -12%. Anyone drawing money from it then would have been cashing out at depressed prices.

The yield was 1.37% as of October 27, 2026, paid quarterly, so income is modest. Under the SEC's standard example, costs on $10,000 come to $20 in year one and $255 over 10 years. Past results don't predict the future, and a plan should look at the whole portfolio, not one fund.
