BZX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing of
a Proposed Rule Change To Allow the
Invesco Focused Discovery Growth
ETF and Invesco Select Growth ETF To
Strike and Publish an Intra-Day NAV
and an End-of-Day NAV
August 18, 2021.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on August
12, 2021, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission the proposed rule change
as described in Items I and II below,
which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the
‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘BZX’’) is filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) a proposed rule
amendment to allow the Invesco
Focused Discovery Growth ETF and
Invesco Select Growth ETF (each a
‘‘Fund’’ and, collectively, the ‘‘Funds’’),
each a series of the Invesco Actively
Managed Exchange-Traded Fund Trust
(the ‘‘Trust’’), to strike and publish an
intra-day net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) and
an end-of-day NAV.
The text of the proposed rule change
is also available on the Exchange’s
website (https://markets.cboe.com/us/

1. Purpose
The Exchange proposed and the
Commission approved a rule to permit
the listing and trading of the Shares of
each Fund.3 On December 22, 2020, the
Exchange commenced trading in the
Shares of each Fund. The Exchange now
proposes to continue listing and trading
the Shares of each Fund pursuant to
Rule 14.11(m) and to permit the Funds
to strike and publish a single intra-day
NAV in addition to the current practice
of striking and publishing an end-of-day
NAV. This proposal is designed to assist
market makers in assessing and
managing their intra-day risk, provide
greater flexibility in creating and
redeeming shares and provide the
marketplace with additional
information about the Funds. The
Exchange believes this feature of the
Funds will allow market participants to
better assess and manage their intra-day
risk in making a market in the Funds’
shares, and provide additional certainty
around intra-day price and hedging for
the Funds’ shares.
The NAV represents the value of a
fund’s assets minus its liabilities
divided by the number of shares
outstanding and is used in valuing
exchange-traded products (‘‘ETPs’’),
including Tracking Fund Shares. By
way of background, an ETP issues
shares that can be bought or sold
throughout the day in the secondary
market at a market-determined price.
Authorized participants that have
contractual arrangements with the ETP
(and/or its distributor) purchase and
redeem ETP shares directly from the
ETP in blocks called creation units at a
price equal to the next-calculated NAV,
and may then purchase or sell
individual ETP shares in the secondary
market at market-determined prices.
ETP shares trade at market prices, but
the market price typically will be more
or less than the fund’s NAV per share
due to a variety of factors, including the
underlying prices of the ETP’s assets
and the demand for the ETP shares.
Nonetheless, an ETP’s market price is
generally kept close to the ETP’s end-ofday NAV because of the arbitrage
function inherent to the structure of the
ETP. An arbitrage opportunity is

Filing’’).

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 24, 2021 / Notices
inherent in the ETP structure because
the ETP share’s intra-day market price
fluctuates in response to standard
supply/demand dynamics during the
trading day. Due to this fluctuation, the
ETP’s intra-day market price may not
equal the actual value of ETP’s
underlying holdings that would form
the basis of the NAV. Accordingly,
authorized participants can arbitrage
this difference (and make a profit)
because they can trade directly with the
ETP at NAV 4 as well as on the market
at market-determined prices. The
expected result of the arbitrage activity
is that the market value of the ETP
moves back in line with the ETP’s NAV
per share and investors are able to buy
ETP shares on an exchange that is close
to the ETP’s NAV per share. The
arbitrage mechanism is important
because it provides a means to maintain
a close tie between market price and
NAV per share of the ETP throughout
the day and on market close, thereby
helping to ensure that ETP investors are
treated equitably when buying and
selling fund shares.
In order for the arbitrage mechanism
described above to operate efficiently,
market participants need to be able to
hedge their intra-day risk effectively and
estimate, with high accuracy, the value
of the ETP’s holdings, such that it can
then observe instances when the value
of such holdings, on a per-share basis,
is higher or lower than the current
trading price of the shares on an
exchange. Principal aspects of the ETP
structure that facilitate these two
processes are: (i) Timing of the NAV
strike and creation/redemption order
window; and (ii) the volume of
information available regarding the
underlying holdings of the ETP, from
which the authorized participant can
estimate the ETP’s NAV per share at any
given time. With respect to the former,
if an ETP can offer a more than one
opportunity to ‘‘lock in’’ the purchase
price of the ETP (i.e., shorten the
duration of the market risk that the
authorized participant is bearing), the
Exchange believes that the arbitrage
mechanism will operate more
efficiently, resulting in tighter spreads
for the trading of the ETP shares.
Additionally, with respect to
information dissemination, in general,
the more information that is available to
assist the market participants in
estimating the value of the fund’s
holdings, the better the arbitrage
mechanism will operate with respect to
4 An open-end fund is required by law to redeem
its securities on demand from shareholders at a
price approximately the proportionate share of the
fund’s NAV at the time of redemption. See 15

the Tracking Fund Shares. In the case of
Tracking Fund Shares, the applicable
ETP disseminates various information to
achieve that goal, while not publishing
a full list of fund holdings daily. First,
as noted in the Initial Filing, each Fund
will disclose its respective Fund
Portfolio 5 including the name,
identifier, market value and weight of
each security and instrument in the
portfolio, at a minimum within at least
60 days following the end of every fiscal
quarter.6 Additionally, the Tracking
Basket 7 (also referred to as the
‘‘substitute basket’’) for each Fund will
be publicly disseminated at least once
daily.8 The Tracking Basket is designed
to closely track the daily performance of
the Fund, but is not fully-representative
of the Fund Portfolio. The Tracking
Basket often will include a significant
percentage of the securities held in the
Fund Portfolio, but it will exclude (or
modify the weightings of) certain
securities held in the Fund Portfolio,
such as those securities that the Fund’s
portfolio managers are actively looking
to purchase or sell, or securities which,
if disclosed, could increase the risk of
front-running of free-riding. The
Tracking Basket may also include cash.
Lastly, the issuer of the Funds
represented that the NAV per share for
each of the Funds will be calculated
daily along with certain metrics,
including the premium or discount
between NAV and final trading price of
the Shares and information about how
well the performance of the Tracking
Basket has correlated with the
performance of the Fund Portfolio.9
While nothing in the Initial Filing, the
Exemptive Relief, or Rule 14.11(m)
requires the Funds to disseminate an
intraday indicative value (‘‘IIV’’), both
Funds disseminate an IIV as such
dissemination is not prohibited by the

5 The term ‘‘Fund Portfolio’’ means the identities
and quantities of the securities and other assets
held by the Investment Company that will form the
basis for the Investment Company’s calculation of
net asset value at the end of the business day. See
Exchange Rule 14.11(m)(3)(B).
6 See Exchange Rule 14.11(m)(4)(B)(ii).
7 The term ‘‘Tracking Basket’’ means the
identities and quantities of the securities and other
assets included in a basket that is designed to
closely track the daily performance of the Fund
Portfolio, as provided in the exemptive relief under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 applicable to
a series of Tracking Fund Shares (the ‘‘Exemptive
Relief’’). The website for each series of Tracking
Fund Shares shall disclose the following
information regarding the Tracking Basket as
required under this Rule 14.11(m), to the extent
applicable: (i) Ticker symbol; (ii) CUSIP or other
identifier; (iii) Description of holding; (iv) Quantity
of each security or other asset held; (v) and
Percentage weight of the holding in the portfolio.

14.11(m).10 The IIV refers to an intraday
estimate of a fund’s NAV per share, and
is calculated based on the valuation of
Fund Portfolio holdings from the prior
Business Day, and accounting for intraday price movements for such holdings.
The IIV is disseminated by each Fund
every second during Regular Trading
Hours.11 Due to the accounting method
for trading activity for the Funds (i.e.,
T+1 accounting), the portfolio upon
which the IIV is calculated is the same
as the portfolio that would serve as the
basis for the Intra-Day NAV strike.
Accordingly, it is expected that the IIV
disseminated at the same time that the
Intra-Day NAV is struck would be
identical (e.g. the 12:00 p.m. Eastern
Time IIV and an Intra-Day NAV struck
at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time would be the
same). However, although the IIV
provides a great deal of price
transparency to the market, it is not an
official NAV of the Funds derived using
the processes and governance designed
to ensure an accurate and reliable
calculation before dissemination.
Accordingly, an official NAV would, in
concert with the IIV, provide a reliable
verification and further clarity as to
Fund portfolio pricing.12
In furtherance of the Funds’ objectives
of tightening spreads in the trading of
their shares and increasing the
efficiency of the arbitrage mechanism,
the Funds will strike one NAV during
normal trading (the ‘‘Intra-Day NAV’’)
and one NAV again at the close of
trading at 4:00 p.m. ET (the ‘‘End-of-Day
NAV’’ and collectively with Intra-Day
NAV, the ‘‘Published NAVs’’). The
Funds anticipate that the Intra-Day NAV
will be struck at 12:00 p.m. ET;
however, the Funds represent that the
Intra-Day NAV may be struck at a predetermined, and publicly disclosed,
time between 11:00 a.m. ET and 2 p.m.
ET. The timing of the Intra-Day NAV
will be disclosed in each Fund’s
prospectus and will not change without
prior notification to shareholders and
the market in the form of a prospectus
supplement. The Intra-Day NAV would
be calculated based on the values of the
10 As noted above, nothing in the Initial Filing,
the Exemptive Relief, or Rule 14.11(m) requires the
Funds to disseminate an IIV; therefore, the Fund is
not representing that it will in the future continue
to disseminate an IIV for either or both of the
Funds.
11 ‘‘Regular Trading Hours’’ refers to the time
between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. See
Exchange Rule 1.5(w).
12 Further, in the rare instances where there may
be a delay or error in calculating the IIV the
dissemination of the official Intra-Day NAV would
alert the market to any disparity. As discussed
herein, the calculation of an official NAV takes
more time to disseminate than the IIV, reflecting the
robust verification and validation processes
employed.

securities in the Fund Portfolio at the
time the Intra-Day NAV is struck, which
may differ from the values of the
securities in the Fund Portfolio at the
time the End-of-Day NAV is struck. As
noted in the Initial Filing, Shares of
each of the Funds are offered by the
Trust, which is registered with the
Commission as an open-end investment
company and has filed a registration
statement on behalf of the Funds on
Form N–1A with the Commission.13
The Registration Statement provides
that the Funds may calculate the NAV
per Share more than once daily (e.g., at
12 p.m. ET and 4:00 p.m. ET), however,
the Initial Filing did not seek to allow
the Funds to calculate more than one
NAV per day. Now, the Exchange is
seeking approval to explicitly allow the
Funds to strike and publish an intra-day
NAV per Share daily in addition to the
end-of-day NAV.14
As noted above, the Intra-Day NAV
for the Funds will be struck based on
the Portfolio Holdings at a predetermined time between 11:00 a.m.
and 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each day
the Exchange is open. The Intra-Day
NAV will be calculated based on the
valuation of Fund holdings as of the
NAV strike time, with the calculation of
such NAV typically occurring within
two hours of the time the NAV strike
time (e.g., 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time), and
will be disseminated to market
participants shortly after calculation.
Further, the Intra-Day NAV will be
disseminated to all market participants
at the same time in the same manner as
the End-of-Day NAV is currently
disseminated.15
13 The Trust is registered under the 1940 Act. On
September 25, 2020, the Trust filed post-effective
amendments to its registration statement on Form
N–1A relating to each Fund (File No. 811–22148)
(the ‘‘Registration Statement’’). The descriptions of
the Funds and the Shares contained herein are
based, in part, on information included in the
Registration Statement. The Commission has issued
an order granting certain exemptive relief to the
Trust (the ‘‘Exemptive Relief’’) under the 1940 Act.
See Investment Company Act of 1940 Release No.
34127 (December 2, 2020).
14 The Exchange’s proposal is similar to
functionality offered for other ETPs. For example,
the prospectus for the Invesco Treasury Collateral
ETF provides that the Fund is calculated at 12 p.m.
and 4 p.m. ET every day the New York Stock
Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’) is open and the Goldman Sachs
Access Treasury 0–1 Year ETF has similar practices.

a second official NAV being available to
market participants, will reduce the risk
that market participants face intra-day
related to the possible divergence
between the Tracking Basket and the
value of the Fund Portfolio, which
should enable them to reduce spreads
on Shares. Authorized participants will
be able to ‘‘lock in’’ their creation and
redemption transactions during the
trading day at an Intra-Day NAV, and at
the end of the trading day at the Endof-Day NAV.19 As proposed, the Funds
will continue to meet all listings
standards provided in Rule 14.11(m).
The only change to the Funds that the
Exchange is proposing is to allow the
Funds to strike an Intra-Day NAV. All
other material representations contained
within the Initial Filing remain true and
will continue to constitute continued
listing requirements for the Funds.
Currently, all orders to purchase or
redeem creation units must be received
by the transfer agent and/or distributor
no later than the order cut-off time
designated in the participant
agreement 16 on the relevant Business
Day in order for the creation or
redemption of creation units to be
effected based on the NAV of Shares as
determined on such date. With certain
exceptions, the order cut-off time for the
Funds, as set forth in the participant
agreement, usually is the closing time of
the regular trading session—i.e.,
ordinarily 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.17 In
the case of custom orders,18 the order
cut-off time is 3:00 p.m. Eastern time.
Additionally, on days when the
Exchange closes earlier than normal, the
Trust may require the creation orders to
be placed earlier in the day.
As proposed, with certain exceptions
the order cut-off time for the Intra-Day
NAV will be the time at which the IntraDay NAV is struck (e.g.,12:00 p.m.
Eastern time). In the case of custom
orders, the transfer agent must receive
the creation or redemption order no
later than one hour prior to the time at
which the Intra-Day NAV is struck (e.g.,
11:00 a.m. Eastern time). The Funds will
issue and redeem Shares in creation
units at the NAV per Share next
determined after an order in proper
form is received (which may be the
Intra-Day NAV or the End-of-Day NAV
depending on when the order is
received). Specifically, if an order to
purchase or redeem Shares of either of
the Funds was received by the transfer
agent prior to the time at which the
Intra-Day NAV is struck (or, in the case
of custom orders, one hour prior to the
time at which the Intra-Day NAV is
struck), the Fund would issue or redeem
Shares in creation units at the Intra-Day
NAV. Conversely, if an order to
purchase or redeem Shares of either of
the Funds was received by the transfer
agent after the Intra-Day NAV is struck
but before 4:00 Eastern time(or, in the
case of custom orders, by 3:00 p.m.
Eastern time), the Fund would issue or
redeem Shares in creation units at the
End-of-Day NAV.
The Exchange believes that providing
authorized participants with the ability
to create and redeem during the trading
day, coupled with the price certainty of
The Exchange believes that the
proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act 20 in general and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act 21 in particular in that
it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in
facilitating transactions in securities, to
remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest in that the Shares of each
Fund will meet each of the continued
listing criteria in BZX Rule 14.11(m), as
provided in the Initial Filing.
The proposal to allow the Funds to
strike and publish an Intra-Day NAV
will afford authorized participants with
additional flexibility in the timing of
creation and redemption activity and
provide the marketplace with
additional, official information related
to each Fund’s underlying holdings on
an intra-day basis The Exchange
believes that this additional feature will
allow market participants to better
assess and manage their intra-day risk in
making a market in the Funds’ shares,
and provide additional certainty around
intra-day price and hedging for the
Funds’ shares. Further, the Exchange
believes that the likely resulting tighter
16 The ‘‘participant agreement’’ refers to the
executed written agreement between an authorized
participant and the Fund, or one of its service
providers, that allows the authorized participant to
place creation and redemption orders.
17 See also Exchange Rule 14.11(m)(3)(B).
18 A ‘‘custom order’’ refers to creation or
redemption orders using Shares that consist of
securities that differ from the composition of the
Tracking Basket.
19 The Exchange believes that the beneficial effect
of having the ability to ‘‘lock in’’ the Intra-Day NAV
will exist even if authorized participants do not
regularly make use of the first creation/redemption
window. By having the flexibility to place orders
with less remaining time until the official NAV is
struck, authorized participants will be able to hedge
risk with a shorter time horizon contemplated.

Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purpose of the Act. The Exchange
notes that the proposed rule change,
rather, will provide additional
information to market participants
thereby reducing market participants
risk and intra-day price uncertainty
which will allow the Fund to better
compete in the marketplace, thus
enhancing competition among both
market participants and listing venues,
to the benefit of investors and the
marketplace.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[Release No. 34-92701; File No. SR-CboeBZX-2021-056]
Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing of a Proposed Rule Change To Allow the Invesco Focused Discovery
Growth ETF and Invesco Select Growth ETF To Strike and Publish an
Intra-Day NAV and an End-of-Day NAV
August 18, 2021.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on August 12, 2021, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission the proposed rule change as
described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by
the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
\2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``BZX'') is filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') a proposed
rule amendment to allow the Invesco Focused Discovery Growth ETF and
Invesco Select Growth ETF (each a ``Fund'' and, collectively, the
``Funds''), each a series of the Invesco Actively Managed Exchange-
Traded Fund Trust (the ``Trust''), to strike and publish an intra-day
net asset value (``NAV'') and an end-of-day NAV.
The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the
Exchange's website (https://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/regulation/rule_filings/bzx/), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposed and the Commission approved a rule to permit
the listing and trading of the Shares of each Fund.\3\ On December 22,
2020, the Exchange commenced trading in the Shares of each Fund. The
Exchange now proposes to continue listing and trading the Shares of
each Fund pursuant to Rule 14.11(m) and to permit the Funds to strike
and publish a single intra-day NAV in addition to the current practice
of striking and publishing an end-of-day NAV. This proposal is designed
to assist market makers in assessing and managing their intra-day risk,
provide greater flexibility in creating and redeeming shares and
provide the marketplace with additional information about the Funds.
The Exchange believes this feature of the Funds will allow market
participants to better assess and manage their intra-day risk in making
a market in the Funds' shares, and provide additional certainty around
intra-day price and hedging for the Funds' shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 90684 (December 16,
2020) 85 FR 83637 (December 22, 2020) (SR-CboeBZX-2020-091) (the
``Initial Filing'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The NAV represents the value of a fund's assets minus its
liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding and is used in
valuing exchange-traded products (``ETPs''), including Tracking Fund
Shares. By way of background, an ETP issues shares that can be bought
or sold throughout the day in the secondary market at a market-
determined price. Authorized participants that have contractual
arrangements with the ETP (and/or its distributor) purchase and redeem
ETP shares directly from the ETP in blocks called creation units at a
price equal to the next-calculated NAV, and may then purchase or sell
individual ETP shares in the secondary market at market-determined
prices. ETP shares trade at market prices, but the market price
typically will be more or less than the fund's NAV per share due to a
variety of factors, including the underlying prices of the ETP's assets
and the demand for the ETP shares. Nonetheless, an ETP's market price
is generally kept close to the ETP's end-of-day NAV because of the
arbitrage function inherent to the structure of the ETP. An arbitrage
opportunity is
[[Page 47360]]
inherent in the ETP structure because the ETP share's intra-day market
price fluctuates in response to standard supply/demand dynamics during
the trading day. Due to this fluctuation, the ETP's intra-day market
price may not equal the actual value of ETP's underlying holdings that
would form the basis of the NAV. Accordingly, authorized participants
can arbitrage this difference (and make a profit) because they can
trade directly with the ETP at NAV \4\ as well as on the market at
market-determined prices. The expected result of the arbitrage activity
is that the market value of the ETP moves back in line with the ETP's
NAV per share and investors are able to buy ETP shares on an exchange
that is close to the ETP's NAV per share. The arbitrage mechanism is
important because it provides a means to maintain a close tie between
market price and NAV per share of the ETP throughout the day and on
market close, thereby helping to ensure that ETP investors are treated
equitably when buying and selling fund shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ An open-end fund is required by law to redeem its securities
on demand from shareholders at a price approximately the
proportionate share of the fund's NAV at the time of redemption. See
15 U.S.C. 80a-22(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order for the arbitrage mechanism described above to operate
efficiently, market participants need to be able to hedge their intra-
day risk effectively and estimate, with high accuracy, the value of the
ETP's holdings, such that it can then observe instances when the value
of such holdings, on a per-share basis, is higher or lower than the
current trading price of the shares on an exchange. Principal aspects
of the ETP structure that facilitate these two processes are: (i)
Timing of the NAV strike and creation/redemption order window; and (ii)
the volume of information available regarding the underlying holdings
of the ETP, from which the authorized participant can estimate the
ETP's NAV per share at any given time. With respect to the former, if
an ETP can offer a more than one opportunity to ``lock in'' the
purchase price of the ETP (i.e., shorten the duration of the market
risk that the authorized participant is bearing), the Exchange believes
that the arbitrage mechanism will operate more efficiently, resulting
in tighter spreads for the trading of the ETP shares.
Additionally, with respect to information dissemination, in
general, the more information that is available to assist the market
participants in estimating the value of the fund's holdings, the better
the arbitrage mechanism will operate with respect to the Tracking Fund
Shares. In the case of Tracking Fund Shares, the applicable ETP
disseminates various information to achieve that goal, while not
publishing a full list of fund holdings daily. First, as noted in the
Initial Filing, each Fund will disclose its respective Fund Portfolio
\5\ including the name, identifier, market value and weight of each
security and instrument in the portfolio, at a minimum within at least
60 days following the end of every fiscal quarter.\6\ Additionally, the
Tracking Basket \7\ (also referred to as the ``substitute basket'') for
each Fund will be publicly disseminated at least once daily.\8\ The
Tracking Basket is designed to closely track the daily performance of
the Fund, but is not fully-representative of the Fund Portfolio. The
Tracking Basket often will include a significant percentage of the
securities held in the Fund Portfolio, but it will exclude (or modify
the weightings of) certain securities held in the Fund Portfolio, such
as those securities that the Fund's portfolio managers are actively
looking to purchase or sell, or securities which, if disclosed, could
increase the risk of front-running of free-riding. The Tracking Basket
may also include cash. Lastly, the issuer of the Funds represented that
the NAV per share for each of the Funds will be calculated daily along
with certain metrics, including the premium or discount between NAV and
final trading price of the Shares and information about how well the
performance of the Tracking Basket has correlated with the performance
of the Fund Portfolio.\9\ While nothing in the Initial Filing, the
Exemptive Relief, or Rule 14.11(m) requires the Funds to disseminate an
intraday indicative value (``IIV''), both Funds disseminate an IIV as
such dissemination is not prohibited by the Initial Filing, Exemptive
Relief or Rule 14.11(m).\10\ The IIV refers to an intraday estimate of
a fund's NAV per share, and is calculated based on the valuation of
Fund Portfolio holdings from the prior Business Day, and accounting for
intra-day price movements for such holdings. The IIV is disseminated by
each Fund every second during Regular Trading Hours.\11\ Due to the
accounting method for trading activity for the Funds (i.e., T+1
accounting), the portfolio upon which the IIV is calculated is the same
as the portfolio that would serve as the basis for the Intra-Day NAV
strike. Accordingly, it is expected that the IIV disseminated at the
same time that the Intra-Day NAV is struck would be identical (e.g. the
12:00 p.m. Eastern Time IIV and an Intra-Day NAV struck at 12:00 p.m.
Eastern Time would be the same). However, although the IIV provides a
great deal of price transparency to the market, it is not an official
NAV of the Funds derived using the processes and governance designed to
ensure an accurate and reliable calculation before dissemination.
Accordingly, an official NAV would, in concert with the IIV, provide a
reliable verification and further clarity as to Fund portfolio
pricing.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ The term ``Fund Portfolio'' means the identities and
quantities of the securities and other assets held by the Investment
Company that will form the basis for the Investment Company's
calculation of net asset value at the end of the business day. See
Exchange Rule 14.11(m)(3)(B).
\6\ See Exchange Rule 14.11(m)(4)(B)(ii).
\7\ The term ``Tracking Basket'' means the identities and
quantities of the securities and other assets included in a basket
that is designed to closely track the daily performance of the Fund
Portfolio, as provided in the exemptive relief under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 applicable to a series of Tracking Fund Shares
(the ``Exemptive Relief''). The website for each series of Tracking
Fund Shares shall disclose the following information regarding the
Tracking Basket as required under this Rule 14.11(m), to the extent
applicable: (i) Ticker symbol; (ii) CUSIP or other identifier; (iii)
Description of holding; (iv) Quantity of each security or other
asset held; (v) and Percentage weight of the holding in the
portfolio.
\8\ See Exchange Rule 14.11(m)(4)(B)(i).
\9\ See Exchange Rule 14.11(m)(4)(A)(ii).
\10\ As noted above, nothing in the Initial Filing, the
Exemptive Relief, or Rule 14.11(m) requires the Funds to disseminate
an IIV; therefore, the Fund is not representing that it will in the
future continue to disseminate an IIV for either or both of the
Funds.
\11\ ``Regular Trading Hours'' refers to the time between 9:30
a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. See Exchange Rule 1.5(w).
\12\ Further, in the rare instances where there may be a delay
or error in calculating the IIV the dissemination of the official
Intra-Day NAV would alert the market to any disparity. As discussed
herein, the calculation of an official NAV takes more time to
disseminate than the IIV, reflecting the robust verification and
validation processes employed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In furtherance of the Funds' objectives of tightening spreads in
the trading of their shares and increasing the efficiency of the
arbitrage mechanism, the Funds will strike one NAV during normal
trading (the ``Intra-Day NAV'') and one NAV again at the close of
trading at 4:00 p.m. ET (the ``End-of-Day NAV'' and collectively with
Intra-Day NAV, the ``Published NAVs''). The Funds anticipate that the
Intra-Day NAV will be struck at 12:00 p.m. ET; however, the Funds
represent that the Intra-Day NAV may be struck at a pre-determined, and
publicly disclosed, time between 11:00 a.m. ET and 2 p.m. ET. The
timing of the Intra-Day NAV will be disclosed in each Fund's prospectus
and will not change without prior notification to shareholders and the
market in the form of a prospectus supplement. The Intra-Day NAV would
be calculated based on the values of the
[[Page 47361]]
securities in the Fund Portfolio at the time the Intra-Day NAV is
struck, which may differ from the values of the securities in the Fund
Portfolio at the time the End-of-Day NAV is struck. As noted in the
Initial Filing, Shares of each of the Funds are offered by the Trust,
which is registered with the Commission as an open-end investment
company and has filed a registration statement on behalf of the Funds
on Form N-1A with the Commission.\13\ The Registration Statement
provides that the Funds may calculate the NAV per Share more than once
daily (e.g., at 12 p.m. ET and 4:00 p.m. ET), however, the Initial
Filing did not seek to allow the Funds to calculate more than one NAV
per day. Now, the Exchange is seeking approval to explicitly allow the
Funds to strike and publish an intra-day NAV per Share daily in
addition to the end-of-day NAV.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ The Trust is registered under the 1940 Act. On September
25, 2020, the Trust filed post-effective amendments to its
registration statement on Form N-1A relating to each Fund (File No.
811-22148) (the ``Registration Statement''). The descriptions of the
Funds and the Shares contained herein are based, in part, on
information included in the Registration Statement. The Commission
has issued an order granting certain exemptive relief to the Trust
(the ``Exemptive Relief'') under the 1940 Act. See Investment
Company Act of 1940 Release No. 34127 (December 2, 2020).
\14\ The Exchange's proposal is similar to functionality offered
for other ETPs. For example, the prospectus for the Invesco Treasury
Collateral ETF provides that the Fund is calculated at 12 p.m. and 4
p.m. ET every day the New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE'') is open and
the Goldman Sachs Access Treasury 0-1 Year ETF has similar
practices. See https://hosted.rightprospectus.com/Invesco/Fund.aspx?cu=46138G888&dt=P&ss=ETF and https://www.gsam.com/bin/gsam/servlets/LiteratureViewerServlet?pdflink=%2Fcontent%2Fdam%2Fgsam%2Fpdfs%2Fus%2Fen%2Fprospectus-and-regulatory%2Fprospectus%2Fetf-combined-access-prospectus.pdf&RequestURI=/content/gsam/us/en/advisors/fund-center/etf-fund-finder&sa=n.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted above, the Intra-Day NAV for the Funds will be struck
based on the Portfolio Holdings at a pre-determined time between 11:00
a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each day the Exchange is open. The
Intra-Day NAV will be calculated based on the valuation of Fund
holdings as of the NAV strike time, with the calculation of such NAV
typically occurring within two hours of the time the NAV strike time
(e.g., 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time), and will be disseminated to market
participants shortly after calculation. Further, the Intra-Day NAV will
be disseminated to all market participants at the same time in the same
manner as the End-of-Day NAV is currently disseminated.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ Currently, the end-of-day NAV is disseminated publicly via
the Issuer's website at www.invesco.com/ETFs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, all orders to purchase or redeem creation units must be
received by the transfer agent and/or distributor no later than the
order cut-off time designated in the participant agreement \16\ on the
relevant Business Day in order for the creation or redemption of
creation units to be effected based on the NAV of Shares as determined
on such date. With certain exceptions, the order cut-off time for the
Funds, as set forth in the participant agreement, usually is the
closing time of the regular trading session--i.e., ordinarily 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time.\17\ In the case of custom orders,\18\ the order cut-off
time is 3:00 p.m. Eastern time. Additionally, on days when the Exchange
closes earlier than normal, the Trust may require the creation orders
to be placed earlier in the day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ The ``participant agreement'' refers to the executed
written agreement between an authorized participant and the Fund, or
one of its service providers, that allows the authorized participant
to place creation and redemption orders.
\17\ See also Exchange Rule 14.11(m)(3)(B).
\18\ A ``custom order'' refers to creation or redemption orders
using Shares that consist of securities that differ from the
composition of the Tracking Basket.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As proposed, with certain exceptions the order cut-off time for the
Intra-Day NAV will be the time at which the Intra-Day NAV is struck
(e.g.,12:00 p.m. Eastern time). In the case of custom orders, the
transfer agent must receive the creation or redemption order no later
than one hour prior to the time at which the Intra-Day NAV is struck
(e.g., 11:00 a.m. Eastern time). The Funds will issue and redeem Shares
in creation units at the NAV per Share next determined after an order
in proper form is received (which may be the Intra-Day NAV or the End-
of-Day NAV depending on when the order is received). Specifically, if
an order to purchase or redeem Shares of either of the Funds was
received by the transfer agent prior to the time at which the Intra-Day
NAV is struck (or, in the case of custom orders, one hour prior to the
time at which the Intra-Day NAV is struck), the Fund would issue or
redeem Shares in creation units at the Intra-Day NAV. Conversely, if an
order to purchase or redeem Shares of either of the Funds was received
by the transfer agent after the Intra-Day NAV is struck but before 4:00
Eastern time(or, in the case of custom orders, by 3:00 p.m. Eastern
time), the Fund would issue or redeem Shares in creation units at the
End-of-Day NAV.
The Exchange believes that providing authorized participants with
the ability to create and redeem during the trading day, coupled with
the price certainty of a second official NAV being available to market
participants, will reduce the risk that market participants face intra-
day related to the possible divergence between the Tracking Basket and
the value of the Fund Portfolio, which should enable them to reduce
spreads on Shares. Authorized participants will be able to ``lock in''
their creation and redemption transactions during the trading day at an
Intra-Day NAV, and at the end of the trading day at the End-of-Day
NAV.\19\ As proposed, the Funds will continue to meet all listings
standards provided in Rule 14.11(m). The only change to the Funds that
the Exchange is proposing is to allow the Funds to strike an Intra-Day
NAV. All other material representations contained within the Initial
Filing remain true and will continue to constitute continued listing
requirements for the Funds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ The Exchange believes that the beneficial effect of having
the ability to ``lock in'' the Intra-Day NAV will exist even if
authorized participants do not regularly make use of the first
creation/redemption window. By having the flexibility to place
orders with less remaining time until the official NAV is struck,
authorized participants will be able to hedge risk with a shorter
time horizon contemplated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \20\ in general and Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \21\ in
particular in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, to remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest in that the Shares of each Fund will meet each of the
continued listing criteria in BZX Rule 14.11(m), as provided in the
Initial Filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
\21\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proposal to allow the Funds to strike and publish an Intra-Day
NAV will afford authorized participants with additional flexibility in
the timing of creation and redemption activity and provide the
marketplace with additional, official information related to each
Fund's underlying holdings on an intra-day basis The Exchange believes
that this additional feature will allow market participants to better
assess and manage their intra-day risk in making a market in the Funds'
shares, and provide additional certainty around intra-day price and
hedging for the Funds' shares. Further, the Exchange believes that the
likely resulting tighter
[[Page 47362]]
spreads and deeper liquidity will deter potential fraudulent or
manipulative acts associated with the Funds' Share price. The only
change to the Funds that the Exchange is proposing is to allow the
Funds to strike an Intra-Day NAV. All other material representations
contained within the Initial Filing remain true and will continue to
constitute continued listing requirements for the Funds.
For the above reasons, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purpose of the Act. The Exchange notes that the
proposed rule change, rather, will provide additional information to
market participants thereby reducing market participants risk and
intra-day price uncertainty which will allow the Fund to better compete
in the marketplace, thus enhancing competition among both market
participants and listing venues, to the benefit of investors and the
marketplace.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
(A) By order approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, or
(B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.
