PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low Vol ETF
PowerShares S&P 500 High Div Low Vol ETF (SPHD) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide exposure to S&P 500 companies with relatively high dividend yields and lower historical price volatility. The fund typically holds a concentrated basket of large-cap US stocks selected for income and stability, and it rebalances periodically to maintain its target characteristics. Investors often consider SPHD for income generation within an equity sleeve, but dividend payments and share prices can fluctuate and are not guaranteed. The ETF may be overweight in income-sensitive sectors such as utilities, real estate and consumer staples, which can affect performance during different market cycles. This information is general and educational, not personalised financial advice; suitability depends on your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance.

Income with lower volatility
Tracks higher-yield, lower-volatility S&P 500 stocks which may appeal to income-minded investors; dividends and capital value can fall.
Sector concentration risks

Portfolio tactical use
Can be used to add an income tilt or lower volatility within equity allocations, but should complement broader diversification and long-term planning.
