S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF PowerShares
SPLV (Invesco S&P 500® Low Volatility ETF) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to offer S&P 500 exposure with reduced price swings. The fund tracks a rules-based index that selects stocks from the S&P 500 with lower historical volatility and weights them to favour more stable names. Investors often consider SPLV when they want equity market participation but hope for a smoother ride compared with the full S&P 500. It can act as a defensive sleeve within a diversified portfolio, but it is still subject to market risk — returns can fall and are not guaranteed. SPLV’s strategy may underperform in strong bull markets where higher-volatility stocks lead, and its sector and factor tilts can differ from the broad market. Suitable for investors seeking lower short‑term volatility and prepared for equity risk over the medium to long term, it is educational to compare fees, tracking error and holdings before investing.
