- Invesco S&P International Developed Low Volatility Index ETF (ILV.TO) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P EPAC Ex. Korea Low Volatility Index, focusing on low-volatility equity securities from developed markets in Europe and the Asia Pacific region, excluding Korea and Canada. The ETF invests primarily in approximately 200 stocks selected for their low realized volatility over the trailing 12 months, weighted inversely to volatility, with quarterly rebalancing and reconstitution; top sectors include industrials (17.81%), consumer defensive (17.15%), real estate (17.02%), and financial services (15.83%), encompassing holdings such as Alsok Co Ltd, Rinnai Corp, and RELX PLC. Launched around 2014 by Invesco Canada Ltd., a subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the fund has net assets of approximately C$10.43 million, a yield of 3.80%, and a beta of 0.57.
The ETF provides investors with exposure to large- and mid-cap companies exhibiting lower price fluctuations compared to broader international developed market benchmarks, targeting risk-averse portfolios seeking stable returns in non-North American developed markets. Geographic operations span Europe (e.g., Holmen AB, RELX PLC, Tele2 AB) and Asia Pacific (e.g., Asahi Group Holdings Ltd, Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd, Kintetsu Group Holdings Co Ltd), excluding the U.S., Canada, and Korea, with a PE ratio of 15.60 reflecting value-oriented holdings.
Invesco Canada Ltd., headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, manages the ETF as part of its broader suite of low-volatility index products, including related funds like Invesco S&P/TSX Composite Low Volatility Index ETF; no major acquisitions, funding rounds, or name changes specific to ILV.TO have been reported in the last 1-2 years. Recent parent company developments include Invesco Ltd.'s launches of new fixed income ETFs such as Inco Core Income ETF (GTOC) and Inco Intermediate ETF (INTM) in 2025, alongside a multi-year share repurchase program totaling nearly 64 million shares (14.56% of outstanding) valued at $1 billion through June 2025, and assets under management reaching significant global levels amid monetary policy easing outlooks. The ETF remains focused on its core low-volatility strategy without announced strategic shifts, product expansions, or partnerships unique to ILV.TO in recent periods.
