- AAM S&P 500 High Dividend Value ETF (SPDV) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks an index of approximately 55 U.S. large-cap stocks from the S&P 500 Index, selected and equally weighted with five holdings per Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) sector based on high dividend yield and free cash flow yield to deliver current income and capital appreciation. The ETF offers investors exposure to attractively valued dividend-paying companies across all 11 GICS sectors, including top holdings such as Newmont Corporation, CVS Health Corporation, APA Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and NextEra Energy, Inc.; monthly distributions with a trailing twelve-month yield of approximately 3.81%; and a low expense ratio of 0.29%. SPDV provides sector and stock diversification while focusing on sustainable dividend payers with strong balance sheets to mitigate value traps.
Operated by Advisors Asset Management, Inc. (AAM), a SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 1979 and headquartered in Monument, Colorado, SPDV primarily targets financial advisors, broker-dealers, and income-oriented investors seeking U.S. equity exposure with enhanced yield and value characteristics. The ETF, launched on November 28, 2017, and listed on NYSE Arca, manages approximately $73.55 million in assets under management and distributes dividends monthly, with recent payouts including $0.105 per share ex-date September 29, 2025. AAM, which oversees a suite of thematic and income-focused ETFs, provides portfolio solutions including fixed income, separately managed accounts, and structured products to independent advisors and institutions across the United States.
Recent developments for SPDV include consistent monthly dividend announcements, such as the September 2025 distribution of $0.105 per share payable October 1, 2025, reflecting stable income generation amid varying market conditions. The fund underwent its latest index reconstitution, updating holdings to emphasize sustainable free cash flow yields as of December 18, 2025, with top sectors allocated across diversified GICS categories. AAM, SPDV's sponsor, marked its 40-year milestone in 2019 and saw a majority stake acquisition by Sun Life in September 2022 for $214 million, enhancing its capacity for ETF innovation and distribution without altering SPDV's strategy. No major partnerships, product launches, or operational shifts specific to SPDV were reported in 2024-2025, underscoring the ETF's steady focus on its core dividend-value methodology.
