It has 199 holdings, a 12-month distribution yield of 1.34% and an expense ratio of 0.60%. As described in the prospectus by Invesco, the underlying index “is composed of approximately 200 securities from an eligible universe of approximately 2,000 securities ranked 1,001 to 3,000 by market capitalization within the NASDAQ US Benchmark Index™.” Eligible stocks are ranked based on a momentum score calculated from “intermediate and long-term upward price movements of the security as compared to a representative benchmark index.” About 200 stocks are selected in the index and weighted based on their momentum scores. The details about the methodology and momentum score calculation are not disclosed. The fund’s turnover rate in the most recent fiscal year was 181%. In accordance with the eligible stock universe definition, this article will use as a benchmark the Russell 2000 index, represented by iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM). The DWAS portfolio The portfolio is almost exclusively invested in U.S. companies (98% of asset value). The heaviest sectors are industrials (27.3%) and healthcare (25.4%), followed by financials (13%) and consumer discretionary (12.2%). Other sectors weigh no more than 7%. Compared to the benchmark, DWAS overweights the top 2 sectors listed above and underweights mostly technology, consumer staples and real estate. It ignores utilities.   DWAS sector breakdown (Chart: author; data: Invesco, iShares) The fund is well-diversified. The top 10 holdings, listed in the next table with fundamental ratios, represent 14.9% of asset value. All positions are below 2%, so risks related to individual companies are low.

It is also cheaper based on the price/earnings ratio, which is quite unusual for a momentum fund. Other valuation ratios are higher, though.

In my ETF reviews, risky stocks are companies with at least two red flags among: bad Piotroski score, negative ROA, unsustainable payout ratio, bad or dubious Altman Z-score, excluding financials and real estate where these metrics are unreliable. With this assumption, risky stocks weigh 40% of asset value, which is a very bad point. Additionally, according to my calculation of aggregate quality metrics (reported in the next table), the return on assets is negative and inferior to the benchmark. The Piotroski F-score is slightly higher, but below the threshold I consider as \"good\" (which is 6). These numbers are typical of a high-risk portfolio and below-par quality.
