ETF dividend equity

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

The VIG ETF gives investors exposure to companies that have a history of growing dividends. It has a 5-Yr average annual return of 9.4% with a 2.0% distribution yield. YTD, VIG has suffered a 20.1% drawdown. VIG compares well to peer funds (2nd highest 5Yr CAGR returns in its peer group and 2nd highest Sharpe Ratio). But SCHD is still better.

VOO is a simple S&P 500 index ETF, with strong realized and potential capital gains, and an outstanding performance track-record.
JEPI is a popular equity income ETF, with a strong dividend yield, and an outstanding performance track-record.
A comparison of these two funds follows.

MLPs do not have the double taxation associated with corporate dividends and have historically provided attractive income that is largely a tax-deferred return of capital, meaning that taxes are not paid on that
