The JPMorgan Hedged Equity Laddered Overlay ETF (HELO) aims to reduce volatility by using laddered options while tracking the S&P 500's sector allocation. It achieves about 40% lower volatility and drawdowns compared to the SPY ETF but has underperformed in total returns by roughly 10% annually since inception. Competing hedged ETFs like the FT Vest Laddered Buffer ETF and Simplify Hedged Equity ETF have delivered better total and risk-adjusted returns over the past 2.5 years. Although the current macroeconomic environment favors hedged equity strategies, HELO is less attractive than its peers, and a longer track record is needed to fully assess its potential.
