HELO: Cutting Volatility And Market Upside As Well
JPMorgan Hedged Equity Laddered Overlay ETF combines fundamental stock selection and SPY options to reduce downside risk. Despite an undeniable success at cutting volatility, HELO has given up a lot of market upside and underperformed SPY in risk-adjusted return. With only 21 months of track record, we still have to see how HELO behaves in a bear market or a deep correction.

HELO: A Must-Own Investment Heading Into 2025
I recommend the JPMorgan Hedged Equity Laddered Overlay ETF (HELO) for its defensive design, offering protection against sharp 5-20% drawdowns while capturing ~65% of large-cap equity upside. With the S&P 500 trading at 22x Fwd P/E and potential volatility from President Trump's policies, large-cap stocks are vulnerable to sharp drawdowns. The Federal Reserve's hawkish stance could further pressure markets, making HELO's downside protection valuable.

HELO: There Is A Cheaper Option
J.P. Morgan Hedged Equity Laddered Overlay ETF aims to provide returns similar to those reflected by the S&P 500 index but with lower volatility using a value-weighting and option strategy. Its risk-adjusted returns have been superior to relevant ETFs, but its high expense ratio and short track record are problematic. Despite its impressive performance, HELO's high fees and similar valuation to the S&P 500 make a traditional low-volatility fund the potentially better choice.
