In this episode of ETF Spotlight, I speak with Matthew Bartolini, Head of SPDR Americas Research at State Street Global Advisors. We discuss the market outlook and investing strategies for 2023.
As the Fed signaled plans to raise rates higher than previously expected, concerns about the economy falling into a recession are rising now. However, investors should start positioning their portfolios for next phase of the economic cycle that may start sometime next year.
Since 1948, high-dividend stocks significantly outperformed their low-dividend peers and the broader indexes when CPI inflation was above 3.25%, per State Street research.
The SPDR S&P Dividend ETF
SDY
selects companies that have consistently increased their dividend for at least 20 consecutive years. The product is very popular with about $24 billion in assets. Walgreens Boots Alliance
WBA
and 3M
MMM
are among its top holdings.
The SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF
SPYD
invests in top 80 high dividend-yielding companies within the broad benchmark. The product charges just 0.07% in fees and has a juicy yield of about 4%.
Investors looking for value in discarded areas of the market could consider the SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF
XSD
and the SPDR Portfolio S&P 600 Small Cap ETF
SPSM
.
XSD follows a modified equal-weighting methodology and avoids too much exposure to industry giants like Taiwan Semiconductor
TSM
and NVIDIA
NVDA
.
The SPDR Portfolio Short Term Corporate Bond ETF
SPSB
and the SPDR Bloomberg 3–12 Month T-Bill ETF
BILS
present attractive yield opportunities with low duration risk.
