Launched on 10/18/2012, the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (SPHD) is a smart beta exchange traded fund offering broad exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value category of the market.
SPHD offers high yields and low volatility, but lacks tech exposure critical for today's market. SPHD's methodology prioritizes dividend yield over volatility, resulting in sector concentration in REITs, consumer defensives. Compared to alternatives like SCHD and VYM, SPHD delivers higher yields but consistently underperforms in total returns due to missed growth opportunities.
Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF offers stability, with limited income potential. SPHD's portfolio is diversified, avoids tech-heavy concentration, and provides lower volatility compared to the broader S&P 500 index. The ETF's historical returns are average, with a current yield of around 3.77% and inconsistent dividend growth, making it less ideal for strict income-focused investors.
