Should Invesco S&P MidCap Quality ETF (XMHQ) Be on Your Investing Radar?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Launched on 12/01/2006, the Invesco S&P MidCap Quality ETF (XMHQ - Free Report) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.
The fund is sponsored by Invesco. It has amassed assets over $985.61 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.
Why Mid Cap Blend
Mid cap companies, with market capitalization in the range of $2 billion and $10 billion, offer investors many things that small and large companies don't, including less risk and higher growth opportunities. These types of companies, then, have a good balance of stability and growth potential.
Blend ETFs are aptly named, since they tend to hold a mix of growth and value stocks, as well as show characteristics of both kinds of equities.
Costs
Cost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts if all other fundamentals are the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.25%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.17%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
While ETFs offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, a deep look into a fund's holdings is a valuable exercise. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Industrials sector--about 28% of the portfolio. Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Axon Enterprise Inc (AXON - Free Report) accounts for about 3.19% of total assets, followed by Manhattan Associates Inc (MANH - Free Report) and Williams-Sonoma Inc (WSM - Free Report) .
The top 10 holdings account for about 24.38% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
XMHQ seeks to match the performance of the S&P MIDCAP 400 QUALITY INDEX before fees and expenses. The S&P MidCap 400 Quality Index is designed to provide equal-weighted exposure to approximately 800 securities of medium-sized companies in the larger US equity market.
The ETF return is roughly 17.66% so far this year and was up about 27.32% in the last one year (as of 07/04/2023). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $62.10 and $80.92.
The ETF has a beta of 1.04 and standard deviation of 22.13% for the trailing three-year period. With about 81 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Invesco S&P MidCap Quality ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 (Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, XMHQ is a great option for investors seeking exposure to the Style Box - Mid Cap Blend segment of the market. There are other additional ETFs in the space that investors could consider as well.
The Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF (VO - Free Report) and the iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF (IJH - Free Report) track a similar index. While Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF has $54.05 billion in assets, iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF has $69.52 billion. VO has an expense ratio of 0.04% and IJH charges 0.05%.
Bottom-Line
Passively managed ETFs are becoming increasingly popular with institutional as well as retail investors due to their low cost, transparency, flexibility and tax efficiency. They are excellent vehicles for long term investors.
