SPHD Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF
Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF has a solid dividend profile with no major red flags in the snapshot data.
Why we rate it 6.8
- Yield of 4.31% is on the higher end but historically sustainable for REITs and quality income payers
- Payout ratio not applicable for ETFs — ETF distributions are dictated by the fund's underlying holdings
- ETF structure provides built-in diversification — single-name dividend cuts have limited impact
- Mid-cap scale — more sensitive to economic cycles
Where SPHD ranks
We compute the same 0–10 safety score across 53 dividend-paying stocks and ETFs. Here's where SPHD lands inside that universe.
The universe is curated to the most-searched US dividend payers. We'll expand it as the data layer grows; sector percentiles only appear when we have at least 5 comparable peers.
The two questions a safety score doesn't answer
A safety score tells you how durable SPHD's payout looks. It does not tell you what you keep after tax, or whether something else does the same job better.
On tax: what you actually pocket depends on whether SPHD dividends are qualified — qualified distributions are taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20%, while ordinary ones are taxed at your full marginal rate, a gap that can reach 22 percentage points of the income on the same headline yield.
On substitutes: if SPHD's 6.8/10 score is lower than you want, see SPHD alternatives — same-sector ETFs ranked by how closely they match SPHD on both yield and safety, so you can see what a swap actually costs you.
