Tag: ETF equity dividend

I learned a long time ago that you can be paid for simply investing in other’s success. Living off dividends has been a lifelong goal of mine. We look at two of the best managed companies in the United States, in my humble opinion.

DVY is one of the largest U.S. dividend equity index ETFs in the market. The fund offers investors an above-average 3.3% yield, an incredibly cheap valuation, and has significantly outperformed YTD. Outperformance is set to continue, in my opinion at least.

WKLY is similar to TGIF with its twist being the weekly dividend payment. While TGIF focuses on fixed income, WKLY is the equity focused ETF. WKLY is also passively managed with an index it tracks rather than the actively managed TGIF.

As CDs and 1-year T-bills offer yields between 4% and 5%, high yielding ETFs such as QYLD are more attractive than looking for yield in equities yielding 2-3%.QYLD has paid distributions for 106 consecutive months since its inception, as its buy-write covered call methodology isn’t dependent on economic cycles. QYLD sacrifices capital appreciation for immediate income and is an investment geared toward income investors.

Low costs and an emphasis on more profitable firms have given the ETF an edge over its peers
