If you're an Invesco QQQ investor, you may be aware that Invesco is seeking shareholder approval to make important changes and enhancements to the Invesco QQQ ETF. As part of this process, you and your clients might be receiving calls or emails to seek votes and discuss the ways in which the proposals will modernize Invesco QQQ, while lowering its expense ratio. These communications are on behalf of Invesco QQQ, and they're designed to help you participate in the upcoming proxy vote. What does this mean for shareholders?

Third, no tax impact: The reclassification will not result in any tax consequences for shareholders. What's not changing? The investment objective: QQQ will continue to track the Nasdaq-100 ® Index. The management team: The same managers and operational team will remain in place. The voting period is open now, so please respond as soon as possible to ensure your voice is heard.
