Overview

The Invesco S&P 500 Quality ETF, trading under the ticker SPHQ, operates within the US Quality / Factor category managed by Invesco. This fund holds a substantial asset base of $20.4 billion and carries an expense ratio of 0.15%. It currently ranks #121 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of B with a score of 68.9 out of 100. The fund offers a dividend yield of 1.04% and trades at a price of $84.52. Within its specific category of 16 ETFs, the fund's significant assets under management suggest a notable level of investor adoption relative to its peers. The combination of its large AUM and moderate expense ratio positions it as a substantial vehicle for exposure to quality factors in the US market.

Short-term performance shows negative returns, with the fund down -0.61% over one day, -1.39% over one week, and -2.68% over one month. However, the trend shifts to positive territory over longer horizons, posting a 3-month return of +5.54% and a 6-month return of +10.01%. Year-to-date gains stand at +12.76%, while the 1-year return reaches +17.31%. The long-term trajectory is particularly strong, with a 3-year return of +70.09%. This pattern indicates a divergence where recent short-term weakness contrasts with sustained growth over the past year and three years. The acceleration from the 1-month decline to the 3-year gain highlights a recovery and growth phase following the recent pullback.

The fund is classified with a Low volatility label and exhibits a beta of 0.81, indicating it tends to move less than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 0.86 suggests the fund has generated a moderate amount of excess return per unit of risk taken. Despite the lower volatility profile, the maximum drawdown reached -16.57%, reflecting the magnitude of the largest peak-to-trough decline experienced. This combination of a beta below 1.0 and a low volatility label implies the fund generally experiences smaller price swings than the average equity fund. The Sharpe ratio and maximum drawdown figures together illustrate a risk-adjusted return profile that balances moderate downside protection with significant long-term appreciation potential.

SPHQ Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 10.67% and average daily volume is 1.6M/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $20.4B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: SPHQ is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
