SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF Price & Performance (SPYD)

The SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF and Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF both target high-yield stocks but differ in execution. SPDR focuses on S&P 500 dividend payers, while Global X emphasizes low-volatility stocks. Over the long term, SPDR outperformed, making it appealing for income-focused investors.12

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) remains the top ETF by assets, reclaiming its lead over Vanguard’s VOO in February. However, analysts suggest its position may weaken as lower-cost alternatives like VOO and IVV gain momentum. SPY’s broad market exposure still makes it a favorite among investors.34

February saw ETFs attract $110.8 billion in inflows, with SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) leading gains at $14.6 billion. Large-cap equity ETFs dominated, while currency and leveraged ETFs faced outflows. Investors also sought safety in gold and fixed-income ETFs amid concerns over trade tensions and slowing growth.45
