SPYD selects the 80 highest-yielding securities in the S&P 500. Its trailing yield is 4.54%, and with a 0.07% expense ratio, it checks a lot of boxes for income investors. I cautioned against SPYD in February after its latest semi-annual reconstitution. However, I'm surprised by how poorly it performed since, mainly due to high exposure to regional banks.

SPYD: 4.54% Yield, Disappointing Deal

The SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF is not positioned well in this economic environment, this fund has minimal exposure to cyclical companies and is also overweight the financials. The recent bank failures and weakening economic outlook will likely lead Fed to enact stricter regulations and capital requirements for this sector.

Stocks paying higher dividends showed their mettle during a challenging 2022: the S&P 500 High Dividend Index declined only a modest –1.1% even as the S&P 500 tumbled –18.1%. In our view, much of the volatility in high-dividend strategies, broadly speaking, comes down to portfolio design choices, which can create very different characteristics.

Taming Biases In High-Dividend Equity Strategies

Investors continue to flock toward high-dividend stocks due to their outperformance last year. The popular dividend ETF SPYD outperformed the S&P 500 due to the negative impact of rising interest rates on growth stocks last year.

SPYD: 'High Dividend' Stocks Offer Poor Risk-Reward Tradeoffs Today

SPYD selects the 80 highest-yielding securities in the S&P 500. Its expense ratio is just 0.07%, and I expect the ETF to yield 4.31%. Its Index reconstituted this month, resulting in a substantial increase in REIT exposure. As a result, qualified income distributions should decline, but more importantly, the portfolio's quality suffered.
