- Invesco S&P 500 Quality ETF (SPHQ) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 Quality Index by normally investing at least 90% of its total assets in common stocks comprising the index. The underlying index selects and weights S&P 500 constituents based on a composite quality score derived from return on equity, accruals ratio, and financial leverage ratio; the fund and index are rebalanced and reconstituted semi-annually on the third Friday of June and December. SPHQ provides investors with targeted exposure to high-quality U.S. large-cap equities across sectors including industrials, information technology, consumer staples, and financials, with top holdings such as Apple Inc., Mastercard Inc., Costco Wholesale Corp., Visa Inc., and Procter & Gamble Co.; it lists on NYSE Arca with a total expense ratio of 0.15% management fee plus 0.06% other expenses.
Launched on December 6, 2005, and issued by Invesco Ltd., a global investment management firm founded in 1935 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, SPHQ operates primarily in the U.S. equity market, focusing on institutional and retail investors seeking growth and income through quality-focused large-cap strategies.
In recent developments, the fund has maintained strong performance with year-to-date returns of approximately 10.25% as of September 30, 2025, and assets under management exceeding $15 billion; it continues quarterly distributions of ordinary income dividends, with the latest ex-date on June 23, 2025, at $0.16902 per share. Sector allocations reflect ongoing market dynamics, with industrials at 25.83%, information technology at 21.70%, and consumer staples at 19.09% as of mid-2025, alongside portfolio adjustments including new positions in Colgate-Palmolive Co., AMETEK Inc., and others. No major acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic shifts specific to SPHQ have been reported in the last 1-2 years, though Invesco broadly extended fee waivers and reduced management fees on select other ETFs in early 2024.
