Historical volatility is the annualized standard deviation of an underlying's past returns, typically measured over rolling windows like 10, 20, 30, or 60 days. The IBBQ 30 day historical volatility is one of the most widely watched readings because it balances responsiveness with stability. Comparing Invesco Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF's HV to its implied volatility reveals the volatility risk premium — when IV sits well above HV, option sellers tend to have an edge; when HV runs hot relative to IV, buyers may be underpaying for movement.

The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in the securities that comprise the Index. The Index is designed to measure the performance of securities listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market that are classified as either biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies. The Fund and the Index are reconstituted annually in December and rebalanced quarterly in March, June, September and December.
