SPLV Already Did Its Running

The Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF gets a hold rating from me; I don't find the fund attractive as a hedge against market volatility. The market has seen nearly double the returns of SPLV since its inception, and SPLV only sheltered in grinding bear markets like 2022, not fast crashes like 2020. There are bonds in the stocks: SPLV skews utilities, financials, and real estate, which are much more comparable sectors to bonds; the low-vol basket is a duration bet.

SPLV: Out-Of-Favor Sector Overweights Remain A Headwind

The Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF remains a hold, with valuation and technicals supporting a neutral stance. SPLV lags the S&P 500, returning 5% versus 17%, hindered by sector overweights in Utilities, Real Estate, and Financials. Growth-adjusted valuation is unappealing, with a 19.5x P/E and 7.6% EPS growth, resulting in a PEG near 3x.
