UPGD: Sadly Underdelivers, And My Skeptical Stance Is Unchanged
Invesco Bloomberg Analyst Rating Improvers ETF tracks the Bloomberg ANR Improvers Index that includes 50 analysts' darlings. Despite the alluring strategy, UPGD's performance has been underwhelming, as it has delivered only a single-digit total return this year and trailed IVV since March 2024. Its AUM has been fluctuating around $100 million this year, indicating rather muted investor interest. So UPGD's liquidity is not particularly ample, which is another weakness.
UPGD: Portfolio Of Analysts' Darlings Investors Should Be Realistic About
Tracking the Bloomberg ANR Improvers Index, UPGD offers exposure to 50 analysts' darlings. This is a high-turnover strategy, and significant quarterly changes in the sector and factor mix should not come as a surprise. At this point, UPGD is heavy in industrials, IT, and consumer staples.
UPGD: For Now, No Meaningful Achievements With The New Strategy
After the strategy change in March 2024, UPGD tracks the Bloomberg ANR Improvers Index. The idea to capitalize on equity research analysts' darlings is appealing, but returns are less so. UPGD has underperformed IVV since the index change, with December being especially challenging, and its contrarian equity mix is to blame.
