About AFRAX

The Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund is a mutual fund designed to provide both current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in senior secured floating rate loans and debt instruments. These securities, issued by large companies, feature interest payments that adjust periodically with prevailing short-term interest rates, helping to mitigate the impact of a rising rate environment while aiming for attractive high-yield returns. A defining characteristic of this fund is its integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria within its investment process, utilizing a proprietary framework to evaluate how ESG factors influence credit risk. The fund's portfolio is diversified across hundreds of holdings, targeting companies typically rated below investment grade and backed by collateral, which can offer additional protection against credit risk. Managed by one of the industry's most experienced floating-rate teams, the fund holds significant relevance for investors seeking income, risk mitigation, and ESG-focused strategies within the corporate debt market. Established in 1997, it plays a notable role in diversifying fixed-income portfolios, especially in environments sensitive to interest rate movements.
