ETF Trends highlights that quality investing is not only about beating the market, but also about how portfolios can behave when conditions turn tougher. The outlet points to the quality factor as a way to emphasize company financial fundamentals, including profitability, higher-quality earnings, and manageable debt.

The Invesco S&P 500 Quality ETF (SPHQ) is built around an index that screens for profitable companies with more reliable, cash-backed earnings and less reliance on heavy debt. ETF Trends notes that while quality is sometimes marketed as defensive, SPHQ is not designed solely to minimize volatility.

ETF Trends also details how the fund’s factor screen produces a different sector mix versus the broader S&P 500. As of July 31, 2026, information technology accounted for 37.4% of the quality index versus 36.8% for the S&P 500, while industrials rose to 19.5% from 8.7% and financials increased to 17.6% from 12.5%.

Performance cited by ETF Trends shows the S&P 500 Quality Index returned 15.16% year to date through July 31, compared with 13.19% for the S&P 500. The underlying index is rebalanced and reconstituted twice a year, and the outlet lists top holdings as of August 12, 2026 including Lam Research, Visa, Mastercard, GE Vernova, and Apple.
