Notes to Financial Statements

Invesco BLDRS Index Funds Trust

September 30, 2019

NOTE 1–Organization

Invesco BLDRS Index Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is a unit investment trust consisting of four separate investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The Trust was organized under the laws of the State of New York and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). This report includes the following portfolios:

Short Name

Invesco BLDRS Asia 50 ADR Index Fund (ADRA)

   “Asia”

Invesco BLDRS Developed Markets 100 ADR Index Fund (ADRD)

   “Developed Markets”

Invesco BLDRS Emerging Markets 50 ADR Index Fund (ADRE)

   “Emerging Markets”

Invesco BLDRS Europe Select ADR Index Fund (ADRU)

   “Europe”

The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market.

The market price of each Share may differ to some degree from a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in the relevant benchmark BNY Mellon ADR Index.

The investment objective of each Fund is to provide investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of its respective index listed below (each a “BNY Mellon ADR Index”):

The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee”) has entered into an Agency Agreement with Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Sponsor”) (the “Agency Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agency Agreement, the Sponsor will perform certain functions on behalf of the Trustee: (a) relating to the evaluation of the portfolio securities held by the Funds for the purposes of determining the net asset value of the Funds, and (b) relating to rebalancing and adjustments of the Trust’s portfolios.

NOTE 2–Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services–Investment Companies.

A.

Security Valuation - Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies:

Portfolio securities are valued at the last trade or official closing price of the exchange on which they trade, which is deemed to be the principal market on which the securities are traded, or if there is no last trade or official closing price on the day of valuation, a security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. If a security is not quoted, if the principal market of the security is other than an exchange, or the Sponsor deems the last trade, official close price or closing bid price inappropriate for valuation purposes, then the security shall be fair valued in good faith by the Sponsor, in a manner consistent with the Trust Indenture and Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) and the Agency Agreement based (a) on the last trade or closing price for the security on another market on which the security is traded or if there is no such appropriate closing price, at the closing bid price on such other market, (b) on current bid prices on the principal market or such other markets, (c) if bid prices are not available, on the basis of current bid prices for comparable securities, (d) by the Sponsor appraising the value of the securities in good faith, or (e) any combination thereof. In the event that the Agency Agreement is terminated, the Trustee would be responsible for the valuation steps set forth above in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement.

B.

Other Risks

Emerging Markets Risk. The risks of foreign investments are usually much greater for emerging markets. Emerging markets are riskier because they develop unevenly and may never fully develop. They are more likely to experience hyperinflation and

 

    

 

 

    23    

 


 

currency devaluations, which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors. In addition, the securities markets in many of these countries have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets. Because these markets are so small, they may be more likely to suffer sharp and frequent price changes or long term price depression due to adverse publicity, investor perceptions or the transactions of a few large investors. Traditional measures of investment value used in the U.S., such as price to earnings ratios, may not apply to certain small markets, making it more difficult to value their securities.

Equity Risk. An investment in a Fund should be made with an understanding of the risks inherent in an investment in equity securities, including the risk that the financial condition of issuers may become impaired or that the general condition of the stock market may deteriorate (either of which may cause a decrease in the value of the securities held by a Fund and thus in the value of Shares). Equity securities, and therefore Depositary Receipts, are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. These investor perceptions are based on various unpredictable factors including: expectations regarding government; economic, monetary and fiscal policies; inflation and interest rates; economic expansion or contraction; and global or regional political, economic and banking crises.

Foreign Market Risk. The underlying securities of the Depositary Receipts in a Fund’s portfolio trade on foreign exchanges at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading, the value of the Depositary Receipts representing those underlying securities may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading, regardless of whether there is an active U.S. market for fund shares.

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess of their BNY Mellon ADR Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective BNY Mellon ADR Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Non-Correlation Risk. Each Fund’s return may not match the return of its BNY Mellon ADR Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its BNY Mellon ADR Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing each Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its BNY Mellon ADR Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its BNY Mellon ADR Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund’s portfolio and its BNY Mellon ADR Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single issuer’s securities could cause greater fluctuations in the value of the Shares than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.

C.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by each Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Each Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to each Fund’s investments. As such, each Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statements of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of each Fund’s NAV and, accordingly, they reduce each Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statements of Operations and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between each Fund and the Adviser.

D.

Country Determination - For the purposes of presentation in the Schedules of Investments, the Adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include whether each Fund’s Underlying Index has made a country determination and may include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

E.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Each Fund declares and distributes dividends, if any, from net investment income quarterly. Each Fund will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.

 

 

    24    

 


 

F.

Federal Income Taxes - Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of each Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

Each Fund files U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, each Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

G.

Expenses - Under the Trust Agreement, the Trust is responsible for the Trustee’s fee (including fees for extraordinary expenses and other services), transfer agency services fees, governmental fees, any taxes, fees and charges payable by the Trustee with respect to Shares, indemnification of the Trustee or the Sponsor, brokerage commissions and other transactional charges and other out-of-pocket expenses of a Fund.

In addition, the Trust may be charged for expenses related to reimbursement to the Sponsor for annual licensing fees, federal and state annual registration fees and expenses of the Sponsor relating to the printing and distribution of marketing materials. Pursuant to the provisions of an exemptive order, the expenses set forth in this paragraph may be charged to the Trust in an amount equal to the actual costs incurred, but shall not exceed 0.30% per annum of the daily NAV of the Trust.

H.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, each Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

I.

Indemnifications - In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, each Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

J.

Distributions from Distributable Earnings - In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s issuance of Disclosure Update and Simplification, each Fund has presented the total, rather than the components, of distributions to shareholders, except for tax return of capital distributions, if any, in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

For the year ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, distributions from distributable earnings consisted of distributions from net investment income.

NOTE 3–Agreements with the Trustee, Licensor and Sponsor

The Funds accrue daily and pay monthly the expenses of their operations, including Trustee fees, reimbursements to the Sponsor for expenses relating to the marketing of the Funds and fees to The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Licensor”) for a license to use each BNY Mellon ADR Index as a basis for determining the composition and weighting of securities held by each respective Fund. Each Fund pays an annual licensing fee to the Licensor equal to 6/100th of one percent (0.06%) of its average net assets subject to the waiver provisions discussed below.

In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trustee maintains the Funds’ accounting records, acts as custodian and transfer agent to the Funds, and provides administrative services, including filing of all required regulatory reports. The Trustee is also responsible for determining the composition of the portfolios of securities, which must be delivered in exchange for the issuance of Creation Units of the Funds, and for adjusting the composition of each Fund’s portfolio from time to time to conform to changes in the compositions and/or weighting structure of each respective BNY Mellon ADR Index.

For these services, the Trustee receives a fee from each Fund at the following annual rates:

 

Net Assets

  

Fee as Percentage of

Net Assets

$0-$499,999,999*

   10/100 of 1% per annum

$500,000,000-$2,499,999,999*

   8/100 of 1% per annum

$2,500,000,000 and above*

   6/100 of 1% per annum

 

*

The fee indicated applies to that portion of the net assets of each Fund that falls in the size category indicated and is computed each business day on the basis of the net assets of the Fund on such day.

 

 

    25    

 


 

Marketing expenses for the years ended September 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, represent expenses incurred by the Sponsor, if any, on behalf of the Funds and charged to the Funds, subject to the reimbursement provisions below.

Marketing expenses are paid by the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust for invoices received directly by the Sponsor during the year. The following amounts remain payable to the Sponsor as of September 30, 2019:

 

Asia

   $ -  

Developed Markets

     -  

Emerging Markets

     39,910  

Europe

     -  

In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and the Agency Agreement, the Trustee will pay, from its own assets, the Sponsor to perform the following services for the Trust: adjust the composition of the portfolio, calculate and adjust, if necessary, the weighting of each security in the portfolio, dispose of or exchange securities after it has been determined that such securities will be removed from the Index and direct securities transactions to brokers or dealers, which may include affiliates of the Trustee, but will not include affiliates of the Sponsor.

The Sponsor had undertaken that on each day during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, and until determined otherwise, the ordinary operating expenses of the Funds as calculated by the Trustee would not be permitted to exceed an amount which is 30/100 of one percent (0.30%) per annum of the daily net asset value of each Fund. To the extent during such period that ordinary operating expenses of a Fund exceeded such 0.30% amount, the Licensor first waived licensing fees applicable to the Fund and, if such waiver was insufficient, the Sponsor thereafter reimbursed the Fund for or assumed such excess ordinary operating expenses. The Licensor and Sponsor may be repaid by the Funds for licensing fees so waived or expenses so reimbursed or assumed respectively, in each case to the extent that subsequently during the fiscal year expenses fall below the 0.30% per annum level on any given day.

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Licensor waived and the Sponsor assumed the following expenses incurred by the Funds:

 

     License Fees Waived by Licensor      Expenses Assumed by the Sponsor

Invesco Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of the Sponsor, is the distributor for the Funds. The Sponsor, not the Funds, pays the Distributor a flat annual fee of $20,000 for each Fund for its distribution services and the Funds do not reimburse the Sponsor for such fees.

NOTE 4–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

Level 1 –

  Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2 –

  Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3 –

  Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect a fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of September 30, 2019, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedules of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

*The Fund will elect to defer net capital losses incurred after October 31 (“Post-October Capital Losses”) within the taxable year that are deemed to arise on the first business day of each Fund’s next taxable year.

Capital loss carryforwards are calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforwards actually available for each Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire within eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration date may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following table presents available capital loss carryforwards for each Fund as of September 30, 2019:

NOTE 7–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of in-kind transactions and expired capital loss carryforwards, on September 30, 2019, amounts were reclassified between undistributed net investment income, undistributed net realized gain (loss) and Shares of beneficial interest. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets of each Fund. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, the reclassifications were as follows:

 

     Undistributed Net    Undistributed Net    Shares of
     Investment Income    Realized Gain    Beneficial Interest

Asia

     $ -      $ 355,778      $ (355,778 )

Europe

       -        1,027,781        (1,027,781 )

NOTE 8–Capital

Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares. Such transactions are only permitted on an in-kind basis, with a separate cash payment that is equivalent to the undistributed net investment income of the shares and a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the net asset value of the shares on the transaction date. The transaction fee in connection with creation or redemption of Creation Units through the continuous net settlement system of National Securities Clearing Corporation (the “Clearing Process”) is $10 per security “name” in the portfolio deposit or redemption payment, rounded up to the nearest $500 for Asia and Emerging Markets and to $1,000 for Developed Markets and Europe per participating party per day, regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased or redeemed on such day by the participating party. The total fee that can be charged in connection with the creation or redemption of Creation Units outside the Clearing Process is four times the normal transaction cost of $500 ($2,000) and $1,000 ($4,000) per participating party per day.

Transaction fees are received by the Trustee and used to offset its expenses of processing orders. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Trustee earned the following amounts in transaction fees:

 

     For the Fiscal Year  
     Ended September 30,  
     2019      2018      2017  

Asia

   $ 500      $ 1,500      $ 1,500  

Developed Markets

     22,000        10,000        6,000  

Emerging Markets

     3,500        6,500        2,500  

Europe

     6,000        4,000        2,000  

The Trustee, in its sole discretion, may voluntarily reduce or waive its fee, or modify the transaction fee schedule, subject to certain limitations. There were no such reductions or waivers for the years ended September 30, 2019, 2018 or 2017.

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Invesco BLDRS Asia 50 ADR Index Fund, Invesco BLDRS Developed Markets 100 ADR Index Fund, Invesco BLDRS Emerging Markets 50 ADR Index Fund and Invesco BLDRS Europe Select ADR Index Fund (constituting Invesco BLDRS Index Fund Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of September 30, 2019, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2019, the results of each of their operations and changes in each of their net assets for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2019, and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Subsequent Event

As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, on December 11, 2019, the Sponsor and Trustee approved a plan of liquidation for the Invesco BLDRS Asia 50 ADR Index Fund, Invesco BLDRS Developed Markets 100 ADR Index Fund and Invesco BLDRS Europe Select ADR Index Fund.

I. Information Regarding Closing Prices vs. Net Asset Value Frequency Distribution for Each Invesco BLDRS Fund

The tables that follow present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a Invesco BLDRS Fund and that Fund’s net asset value. Net Asset Value, or “NAV”, is the price at which a Fund issues and redeems shares. The “Closing Market Price” of shares in each Invesco BLDRS Fund is determined and published by The NASDAQ Stock Market, as of the time that the Funds’ NAV is calculated. Each Fund’s Closing Market Price may be below, at, or above its NAV. The NAV for each Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of its portfolio holdings.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Closing Market Price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

The following information shows the frequency distributions of premiums and discounts for each of the Invesco BLDRS Funds included in this report. The information shown for each Fund is from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2019.

Each line in the table shows the number of trading days in which the Invesco BLDRS Funds traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future performance.

Supplemental Information–(continued)

(Unaudited)

 

(a) 

Annualized Total Returns and Cumulative Total Returns for the period since inception are calculated from the inception date of November 13, 2002. “Cumulative Total Return” represents the total change in value of an investment over the period indicated.

Closing Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in each Fund at market closing price and net asset value, respectively. Since Fund shares typically do not trade in the secondary market until after several days after Fund inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in fund shares, the net asset value is used as a proxy for secondary market trading price to calculate closing market returns.

Unlike a Fund, an Index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a Fund. Fund expenses negatively impact the performance of a Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund shares. Fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. A Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.
