Risk Warning on Trading HK Stocks
Despite Hong Kong's robust legal and regulatory framework, its stock market still faces unique risks and challenges, such as currency fluctuations due to the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the US dollar and the impact of mainland China's policy changes and economic conditions on Hong Kong stocks.
HK Stock Trading Fees and Taxation
Trading costs in the Hong Kong stock market include transaction fees, stamp duty, settlement charges, and currency conversion fees for foreign investors. Additionally, taxes may apply based on local regulations.
HK Non-Essential Consumer Goods Industry
The Hong Kong stock market encompasses non-essential consumption sectors like automotive, education, tourism, catering, and apparel. Of the 643 listed companies, 35% are mainland Chinese, making up 65% of the total market capitalization. Thus, it's heavily influenced by the Chinese economy.
HK Real Estate Industry
In recent years, the real estate and construction sector's share in the Hong Kong stock index has notably decreased. Nevertheless, as of 2022, it retains around 10% market share, covering real estate development, construction engineering, investment, and property management.

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market, the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (SPHD) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 10/18/2012.
The fund is sponsored by Invesco. It has amassed assets over $3.84 billion, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
Why Large Cap Value
Large cap companies usually have a market capitalization above $10 billion. Considered a more stable option, large cap companies boast more predictable cash flows and are less volatile than their mid and small cap counterparts.
Value stocks are known for their lower than average price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, but investors should also note their lower than average sales and earnings growth rates. Considering long-term performance, value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in almost all markets; however, they are more likely to underperform growth stocks in strong bull markets.
Costs
Expense ratios are an important factor in the return of an ETF and in the long term, cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts, other things remaining the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.30%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 3.62%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
It is important to delve into an ETF's holdings before investing despite the many upsides to these kinds of funds like diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Utilities sector--about 19.90% of the portfolio. Consumer Staples and Real Estate round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Altria Group Inc (MO) accounts for about 2.97% of total assets, followed by Crown Castle Inc (CCI) and Verizon Communications Inc (VZ).
The top 10 holdings account for about 26% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
SPHD seeks to match the performance of the S&P 500 Low Volatility High Dividend Index before fees and expenses. The S&P 500 Low Volatility High Dividend Index comprises of 50 securities traded on the S&P 500 Index that historically have provided high dividend yields and low volatility.
The ETF has gained about 19.47% so far this year and it's up approximately 26.09% in the last one year (as of 09/13/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $37.32 and $49.75.
The ETF has a beta of 0.87 and standard deviation of 14.71% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 51 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF carries a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 (Hold), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Thus, SPHD is a reasonable option for those seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value area of the market. Investors might also want to consider some other ETF options in the space.
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) and the Vanguard Value ETF (VTV) track a similar index. While Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF has $59.48 billion in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $124.69 billion. SCHD has an expense ratio of 0.06% and VTV charges 0.04%.
Bottom-Line
An increasingly popular option among retail and institutional investors, passively managed ETFs offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; they are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.

Houston, Texas-based Crown Castle Inc. owns, operates, and leases shared communications infrastructure that is geographically dispersed throughout the United States. With a market cap of $52.1 billion, Crown Castle operates through Towers, Fiber, and Other segments.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as "large-cap stocks," Crown Castle fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size, influence, and dominance in the specialty REIT industry. It manages over 40,000 cell towers and approximately 90,000 route miles of fiber-supporting small cells and fiber solutions across the U.S.
Crown Castle hit its 52-week high of $120.31 in yesterday’s trading session before slightly pulling back. CCI has gained 19.8% over the past three months, outpacing the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 3.3% gains during the same time frame.
Over the longer term, CCI has underperformed SPX. CCI gained 21.9% over the past 52 weeks and 4.3% in 2024, lagging behind SPX’s 23.8% gains over the past year and 16.4% returns on a YTD basis.
To confirm the recent bullish trend, CCI has been consistently trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages since mid-July.
Shares of Crown Castle saw a marginal decline in the trading session after the release of its Q2 earnings on Jul. 17. The company has been grappling with several operational challenges, resulting in a notable decline in both revenues and net income. Crown Castle reported a 12.9% year over year decrease in net revenues to $1.6 billion, while its net income saw an even steeper drop of 44.8%, falling to $251 million.
Furthermore, its full-year site rental revenue guidance of $6.3 billion indicates a 2.9% decline compared to the previous year. And its adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) are projected to decrease by 7.7% to $6.97, heightening investor concerns.
Crown Castle’s competitor, American Tower Corporation , has outperformed CCI. AMT has gained 32.6% over the past year and 10.7% in 2024.
Among the 19 analysts covering CCI stock, the consensus rating is a “Hold.” Although CCI is trading above its mean price target of $110.56, the Street-high target of $127 represents a potential upside of 5.7% from current price levels.
