Invesco Ltd. has a lot riding on U.S. growth.

The Atlanta-based money manager has re-positioned a $1 billion exchange-traded fund after its proprietary signals indicated that the economy was returning to an expansionary environment, as renewed appetite for risk ended a six-month slowdown. The ETF has shed holdings in more defensive sectors such as health care and consumer staples, and added more growth-sensitive sectors, such as industrials.
