The Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (SPHD) saw its annual payout drop by 13.39% in 2024, marking a notable decline compared to its 2023 growth of 11.57%. Despite its historical appeal for high dividends, recent performance raises questions about its ability to sustain payouts in challenging market conditions.1

The Invesco S&P 500 Top 50 ETF (XLG) has risen 3.91% over the past two weeks, supported by positive technical indicators like increasing volume. However, with conflicting long-term sell signals, the ETF's outlook remains uncertain. Analysts suggest monitoring resistance levels near $48.99 for potential future buy signals.2

Low-volatility ETFs, such as the iShares MSCI Minimum Volatility ETF (USMV), have gained 4.9% year-to-date, outperforming the broader market's 1.5% loss. This trend underscores investor preference for stability amid market uncertainties, including tariff concerns. However, analysts caution about limited upside potential in the current environment.3
