Market Risk

PSCF is best suited for long-term investors with a higher risk tolerance, though active traders may also use it for tactical allocations.

Summary

The Invesco S&P SmallCap Financials ETF (PSCF) provides exposure to small-capitalization U.S. financial stocks, offering a targeted investment in the financial sector. Its performance is influenced by economic growth, interest rates, and regulatory changes affecting financial institutions. PSCF carries higher volatility due to its small-cap focus and is more suitable for investors with a higher risk tolerance who seek targeted sector exposure.
