Interested in earning a high income stream from your investments? Well, while you can occasionally get a little something for nothing, it’s rare to get a lot without some sort of trade-off. Said differently: The higher the yield you seek, the higher risk you’re generally required to take.

However, like with most other investments, owning an investment fund can help you tamp down some of that risk. And that brings us to high-yield dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

High-yield dividend ETFs predominantly invest in assets that produce a higher-than-average amount of dividend income. They do so by targeting specific corners of the U.S. stock market or equities in different parts of the world, or in some cases, they even use a few special market mechanisms to squeeze more juice from the dividend fruit.

Importantly: By spreading out their assets across dozens, hundreds, even thousands of different investments, they reduce the risk of any single security’s collapse deep-sixing your portfolio.

Let me shine a light on a group of high-yield dividend ETFs that pay between 3.5% and 11% annually, which is roughly three to nine times better than the broader market.

Why Invest in Dividend Stocks via ETFs?

Dividend stocks certainly are common enough, but theyโ€™re also not created equally. Some companies only pay nominal dividends that are just a penny or two per share, with no prospect for dividend growth anytime soon. Others may offer generous but unsustainable dividend payouts that might be eliminated altogether in the future.

You could tether your fate to that one company’s specific strengths and weaknesses. Or you could hitch your wagon to a dividend ETF, which may own that stock … but only as a small percentage of a much larger collection of other dividend payers. Sure, you won’t enjoy the same level of gains if that stock suddenly takes off, but you also won’t endure the hardship of that stock going into the toilet.

Plus, finding the best stocks capable of consistently paying dividends and enjoying significant future dividend growth can be a daunting task, even for seasoned investors. So why not try to gain exposure to dividend-paying stocks via a single, diversified holding thatโ€™s tasked with finding great companies for you?

Thatโ€™s what you get in a dividend ETF.

How Were These High-Yield Dividend ETFs Selected?


Let’s start with a few ground rules.

First, these are dividend ETFs. In other words, this list is limited to funds that own stocks; bond funds don’t apply.

Next is the yield floor. There’s no universal definition of “high yield”; much like beauty, a high dividend is in the eye of the beholder. But given that it’s a list of high-dividend ETFs, I have to set the floor somewhere, and that somewhere is 3.5%. That ensures you’ll earn well more than double (and in most cases, many times more) what you’d collect by investing in an S&P 500 index fund.

Lastly, as a quality check, I’ve only included dividend ETFs that have earned a Morningstar Medalist ratingโ€”Morningstar’s forward-looking analytical view of the fundโ€”of at least Bronze. A quick explanation of why that matters, per Morningstar:

“For actively managed funds, the top three ratings of Gold, Silver, and Bronze all indicate that our analysts expect the rated investment vehicle to produce positive alpha relative to its Morningstar Category index over the long term, meaning a period of at least five years. For passive strategies, the same ratings indicate that we expect the fund to deliver alpha relative to its Morningstar Category index that is above the lesser of the category median or zero over the long term.”

Importantly, a Medalist rating doesn’t mean Morningstar is necessarily bullish on the underlying asset class or categorization. It’s merely an expression of confidence in the fund compared to its peers.

From the remaining universe of ETFs to choose from, I picked ETFs from a variety of sectors, geographies, and strategies. I also selected funds that have reasonable expense ratiosโ€”given their specialties, many of these cost more than a bland broad-market ETF, but they’re fair or low for their category.

An Important Note About Dividend ETFs’ Distributions


One last thing to know before diving into any dividend ETF: Their distributions tend to reflect the cash dividend payments of their underlying holdings.

What you’re getting from an ETF in a quarter is more or less your share of all the dividends that all of the holdings made within that quarter. But sometimes, individual components don’t always pay within each given quarter (even if they pay quarterly). Also, they occasionally increase regular dividends, make special payouts, or cut or even suspend regular dividends.

As a result, ETFs can have “lumpy” distributions that change from one quarter to the next.

Here’s an example: In a 12-month period, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)โ€”the largest ETF by assets on the planet, and thus one of the most commonly ownedโ€”paid out quarterly dividends of $1.80, $1.99, $1.83, and $1.76 per share. That’s a 13% difference between the smallest and largest payouts, and some years, it’s much more.

If you’ve not yet reached retirement, this inconsistency probably won’t matter to you at all. But it could be problematicโ€”or at the least, worth planning aroundโ€”if you are in retirement and heavily depend on dividend income to pay your regular bills. So especially if you’re in the latter boat, when you research dividend funds, I highly suggest not just looking at yield, but at distribution history, too.

Best High-Dividend ETF #1: First Trust Morningstar Dividend Leaders Index Fund

  • Assets under management: $7.5 billion
  • Dividend yield: 3.7%
  • Expense ratio: 0.43%, or 4.30 per year on every $1,000 invested
  • Morningstar Medalist rating: Bronze

When it comes to long-term performance, U.S. stocks have historically been king. The same tends to go with dividend-growth stocksโ€”American dividend growers are pretty prolific, so much so that the qualifications to be a Dividend Aristocrat here require more years of uninterrupted dividend growth than similar international groupings.

But it is really,ย really difficult to find highly-rated broad baskets of generous U.S. payers.

The First Trust Morningstar Dividend Leaders Index Fund (FDL) is one of these rare gems. It’s an index fund that starts with a universe of U.S. stocks that pay qualified dividends, which are given preferential tax treatment. This includes most dividend stocks you can think of, but backs out a few categories such as real estate investment trusts (REITs).

From there, companies must have positive five-year indicated dividend-per-share growth, and their one-year estimated earnings per share (EPS) divided by indicated dividend per share must be less than or equal to 1. The stocks that remain are ranked by their indicated yield, and as many as the top 100 are included in the index. Lastly, stocks are weighted by the dollar value of their indicated dividends.

The current result of that screening process is a bundle of 85 stocks that’s concentrated in many of the sectors you’d expect: energy, healthcare, and consumer staples are tops right now. Financial services also make up a meaningful double-digit weight. Top holdings are no-brainer high yielders such as Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and Verizon (VZ).ย 

Concentration risk can be an issue here thanks to the dividend weighting. Right now, for instance, Exxon, Chevron and Verizon alone account for almost a quarter of the fund’s assets.

Still, you’re earning more than three times the S&P 500’s yield. So if you’re looking to extract high yield from American blue-chip stocks, FDL is one of the best high-yield dividend ETFs to buy.

Best High-Dividend ETF #2: Franklin International Low Volatility High Dividend ETF


  • Assets under management: $4.9 billion
  • Dividend yield: 3.7%
  • Expense ratio: 0.40%, or $4.00 per year on every $1,000 invested
  • Morningstar Medalist rating: Bronze

Any group of favorably rated high-yield dividend ETFs is bound to include at least a couple international stock funds. Large, established dividend payers abroadโ€”especially in developed countriesโ€”have for years tended to pay more than their U.S. counterparts, in part because the long-term outperformance of U.S. stocks has depressed yields.

And one of the best such fundsโ€”Franklin International Low Volatility High Dividend ETF (LVHI)โ€”is of the low-volatility persuasion. For the uninitiated, low- and minimum-volatility ETFsย are designed to wiggle less than the market, so the idea here is that when stocks lunge southward, low- and min-vol funds wonโ€™t decline as muchโ€”and might even produce some gains.

Franklin’s fund is designed to provide a portfolio of high-yielding dividend stocks that demonstrate low price and profit volatility. Its underlying index starts with a screen to identify dividend-paying companies that can pay “relatively high sustainable dividend yields,” then it grades yields based on price and earnings volatility.

LVHI also puts various limits on the portfolio to eliminate overconcentration riskโ€”for instance, no stock can make up more than 2.5% of the index at quarterly rebalancing, no sector can make up more than 25%, and REITs, which weโ€™ll get to in a bit, canโ€™t exceed 15%. Also, no geographic region will exceed 50% of assets, and no single country will exceed 15%. To further tamp down on volatility, LVHI hedges against currency fluctuations.

Franklin International Low Volatility High Dividend currently owns about 185 stocks from about 20 developed nations, including Canada (16%), Japan (15%), and the U.K. (14%). Most of the portfolio (~90%) is large-cap in nature, including top holdings such as Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), British integrated oil major Shell (SHEL), and Japanese conglomerate Mitsubishi.

These large international names throw off a yield of almost 4%, and that’s actually much lower than it was a few months ago thanks to recent gains in the fund. But it also dishes out much higher returns (and much lower risk) compared to the ETF’s category average. All of this makes LVHI not just a great holding for anytime, but also one of the best ETFs for bear markets. Indeed, its losses during 2025’s near-bear drop were less than half the broader market’s.

Income investors should note that LVHI, like many international dividend funds, has “lumpy” dividends, as foreign companies often pay just semiannually or even annually. For instance: Its four most recent quarterly dividend payments ranged from 16.0ยข to 81.4ยข!

Best High-Dividend ETF #3: iShares International Select Dividend ETF

  • Assets under management: $8.6 billion
  • Dividend yield: 4.4%
  • Expense ratio: 0.50%, or $5.00 per year on every $1,000 invested
  • Morningstar Medalist rating: Silver

The iShares International Select Dividend ETF (IDV) is a more straightforward basket of overseas stocks. It’s another index fundโ€”one that doesn’t care about volatility, just relatively high payments.ย 

IDV’s 100-stock portfolio is a roughly 70/25/5 blend of large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks from across the developed world, predominantly Europe. The U.K., France, Spain, and Italy all enjoy double-digit weights at the moment. There’s precious little emerging-market exposure; that’s South Korea, which one could argue is a developed market but nonetheless still finds itself in some emerging indexes.

While the portfolio does have quite a few multinationals that are well-known here in the States, the top weights are reserved for the likes of French integrated giant TotalEnergies (TTE), Italian utility Enel (ENLAY), and Spanish telecommunications firm Telefรณnica (TEF). Collectively, this portfolio puts out a yield well north of 4% at the moment.

The 0.5% annual fee isn’t exactly low in a bubble, but it’s within the cheapest quintile across its Morningstar category (Foreign Large Value), so you’re getting a relatively cheap fund.

Ever since REITs became their own sector in 2016, they’ve typically been among the highest-yielding S&P 500 sectors.

Unlike most companies that more or less choose to pay out dividends, REITs are compelled toโ€”by law. REITs were created by Congress in 1960 to spur real estate investing. They’re given favorable tax treatment โ€ฆ but in exchange, they’re required to pay out at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders, in the form of dividends.

You could own a handful of individual REITs if you’d like, or you can load up on the sector via REIT ETFs.

The biggest name in that game is the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ). This Vanguard ETF tracks a broad index of REITs covering a variety of industries: office buildings, apartments, data centers, warehouses, senior living facilities, even driving ranges. It too is market cap-weighted. At the moment, top holdings in this 145-REIT portfolio include medical facility and senior housing company Welltower (WELL), logistics REIT Prologis (PLD), datacenter landlord Equinix (EQIX), and telecommunications infrastructure firm American Tower (AMT).

“The fund beat the category average by 28 basis points annualized over the five years through the end of December 2025,” Morningstar Associate Analyst Brian Paoli said about this Gold-rated fund. “Real estate stocks are more sensitive to interest rate changes, and this volatile period had interest rate hikes in 2022 and 2023 and rate cuts in 2024 and 2025. The fund proved its ability to perform well against its peers through these different market conditions.”

* Vanguard fund assets are spread across multiple share classes, including mutual funds and ETFs alike. Assets listed for VNQ is for the ETF share class only.

Best High-Dividend ETF #5: InfraCap MLP ETF

Master limited partnerships arenโ€™t a type of energy companyโ€”theyโ€™re an overall business structure thatโ€™s applicable to numerous industries. Theyโ€™re considered โ€œpass-through entitiesโ€ because income isnโ€™t taxed at the corporate levelโ€”itโ€™s โ€œpassed throughโ€ to owners and โ€œunitholdersโ€ (the MLP equivalent of shareholders) via โ€œdistributionsโ€ (the MLP equivalent of dividends).ย 

However, many publicly traded MLPs are energy-related. These companies are typically involved in energy infrastructureโ€”that means pipelines, storage, terminals, and other assets involved in the transportation and holding of oil, gas, and other energy commodities. They also happen to be among the market’s higher yielders; while they don’t necessarily have a mandate for distributions the way REITs do, they often distribute most if not all of their available cash flows.

The InfraCap MLP ETF (MLP) is an actively managed ETF that owns a small grouping of MLPs. Managers Jay Hatfield and Andrew Meleney have put together a portfolio of just around 30 infrastructure names, currently concentrated in six stocks: Energy Transfer LP (ETF), Plains All American Pipeline LP (PAA), Sunoco LP (SUN), MPLX LP (MPLX), Enterprise Products Partners LP (EPD), and Western Midstream Partners LP (WES) currently account for 83% of the fund’s assets.

Importantly: MLP distributions are primarily made up of tax-deferred return of capital, with the remainder typically considered ordinary income. MLPs even require an additional formโ€”the K-1โ€”come tax time. However, InfraCap’s fund is structured as a C corporation, and instead issues a Form 1099-DIV, which allows investors to avoid the more complex K-1, simplifying tax reporting.

AMZA is also a rarity in that it’s a monthly dividend payer (most equity dividend ETFs pay quarterly).

* AMZA’s management fee is 0.95%. Additional fees are typically attributed to “income tax expenses,โ€ which are an estimate of the potential tax expense (or benefit) that would occur if the fund recognized any unrealized gains or losses in the portfolio. This is common among funds that hold MLPs. This can vary widely from year to year and even day to day.

If someone is talking about “stock,” 999 times out of a thousand, they’re talking about “common stock.” If you want to buy shares of Apple (AAPL), you’d look up “AAPL” in your brokerage account and buy AAPL shares. That’s Apple’s common stock.

But that’s not the only kind of stock you can buy.

Preferred stocks areย a “hybrid” security that has some characteristics you find in common stock, as well as some you find in bonds. For instance, preferred stocks trade on an exchange, represent ownership in a company, and typically pay qualified dividends (which enjoy long-term capital gains tax rates). However, preferred stocks typically don’t have voting rights, tend to trade around a par value, and distribute a fixed level of incomeโ€”all qualities of bonds.

Why the name “preferred”? Because their dividends have preference over common-stock dividends. If a company wants to cut its dividends, for instance, it must do so to the common-stock dividends before it does so to the preferreds. Also, many preferreds are also “cumulative,” meaning that if a dividend payment is missed, it must be paid before the company can start paying common shareholders again.

In short: Preferreds tend to act more like bonds than stocks. Theyโ€™re far less volatile than stocksโ€”they rarely have explosive upside, but they also rarely have explosive downside. That makes them defensive in natureโ€”doubly so when you consider they offer much higher yields than your average stock.

Everyday investors have a difficult time investing in individual preferred stocks because, compared to commons, information and analysis about specific preferred shares is hard to come by. So, much like bonds, it often makes more sense to own them via ETF. And preferred stock ETFs like the Fidelity Preferred Securities and Income ETF (FPFD) are among the best-yielding high-dividend ETFs you can find.

FPFD is a collection of 334 preferred stocks, a little more than 60% of which have investment-grade ratings from the major debt rating agencies. Most of the remainder is rated in the highest tier of non-investment-grade (“junk”). Like with most preferred-stock funds, FPFD overwhelmingly holds financial-sector preferreds (banks, insurance firms, financial services companies, etc.), though it does own issues from the utility, communication services, and other sectors. Top holdings right now include preferred shares from the likes of Energy Transfer (ET), The Bank of New York Mellon (BK), and AT&T (T).ย 

This Fidelity ETF is relatively young, debuting in 2021, but Morningstar has seen enough to merit a Bronze Medalist rating. While itโ€™s not among the very cheapest preferred ETFs, it still has lower-than-average fees, and it has so far produced better-than-average performance. You also enjoy a yield of more than 5% currently. So if you’re looking for high yield but more conservative price action, FPFD is among the best dividend ETFs you can own.

* SEC yield reflects the interest earned across the most recent 30-day period. This is a standard measure for funds holding bonds and preferred stocks.

Best High-Dividend ETF #7: JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF

  • Assets under management: $44.1 billion
  • Dividend yield: 8.5%
  • Expense ratio: 0.35%, or $3.50 per year on every $1,000 invested
  • Morningstar Medalist rating: Gold

While most high-dividend ETFs deliver big income by simply owning high-yield dividend stocks, a few funds go about it from a different angle, using options and other market mechanics to generate yield instead.

Take the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI), for instance.

At a glance, JEPI’s 124 portfolio holdings wouldn’t make you blink an eye. It’s a 75/25 split of large- and mid-cap stocksโ€”roughly the same split you’ll find in an S&P 500 index tracker. Positions such as Amazon (AMZN), Broadcom (AVGO), and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) would be found in any ol’ large-cap fund. And that fund would likely yield somewhere in the 1%-2% range.

But JEPI delivers a sweet yield of more than 8% right now.

Related: 15 Dividend Kings for Royally Resilient Income

That’s because JEPI doesn’t merely hold these stocks. It also engages in selling covered callsโ€”a type of options trading that’s designed to generate income using stocks you already own. Managers Hamilton Reiner, Raffaele Zingone, Matt Bensen, and Judy Jansen write approximately 2% out-of-the-money call options on the S&P 500 Index. “It’s a quarter every week,” says Jon Maier, Chief ETF Strategist, Managing Director, JPMorgan Asset Management. “A quarter of the portfolio is rewritten for a month, and then a week later, a month. So it’s staggered.”

The downside to this strategy: You can limit your upside in your underlying holdings. The upside? You can reduce volatility and reap healthy dividend payments. With JEPI specifically, “the underlying portfolio is managed with lower volatility than the S&P 500. So when you have the option overlay, combined with the underlying lower-volatility portfolio, it provides volatility that’s about 60% of the S&P 500 and yields between 7% and 9%,” Maier says.

It’s rare that an options-trading strategy earns a Morningstar Medalist rating. Morningstar analyst Lan Anh Tran’s reason behind JEPI’s Gold award? “JPMorgan Equity Premium Income takes a nuanced approach to covered calls that delivers high income while reducing downside risk. This fundโ€™s incremental improvements on a basic covered-call strategy make it a solid option in the derivative income Morningstar Category.”

Just understand that the “income” from covered calls isn’t the same as the dividend income generated by all of the other funds listed here. Options income is taxed as capital gainsโ€”usually the short-term variety, which receives less favorable treatment, as it’s taxed at your marginal income rate.

A Note About Dividend Yields


A term youโ€™re going to want to familiarize yourself with is dividend yield.

A dividend yield tells you how much of your investment you can expect to get back in the form of dividends. A stockโ€™s dividend yield, for instance, is calculated on an annualized basis, and expressed as a percentage of share price. Example: If a stock trades for $50 and pays 25 cents per quarter, thatโ€™s $1.00 in annual payoutsโ€”or 2.0% of the share price. So its dividend yield is 2.0%.

But a fundโ€™s dividend yield is calculated a little differently. Itโ€™s much more difficult to estimate future payouts for an ETF or mutual fund because they own groups of many different stocks paying on changing cycles.

The fairest way to measure yield in dividend ETFs and mutual funds is to calculate the distributions over the last calendar year. Dividends might change for these funds going forward, but a trailing 12-month look is the most faithful way to calculate yield.

What Is Yield on Cost?


preferred stock percent block paperwork 1200
DepositPhotos

When you look up an ETFโ€™s information, the dividend yield listed is based on the past yearโ€™s worth of dividend payments and the current ETF share price.

That yield is often very different than the one current ETF shareholders enjoy. That yield is called โ€œyield on cost,โ€ which is the payout based on what you said, at the moment you invested.โ€

Letโ€™s say you buy an ETF at $100, and it pays $1 per share annually. It yields 1.0% when you buy it ($1 / $100 x 100 = 1.0%).

In a year, that ETF has doubled to $200 per share, but the dividends it pays also doubled, to $2 per share. If you look up its information, its dividend is still 1.0% ($2 / $200 x 100 = 1.0%).

Thatโ€™s not your yield on cost, however. Youโ€™re still receiving that higher dividend of $2 per share. But your cost basis is still the original $100 you bought the ETF share at. So now, your yield on cost has doubled, to 2.0% ($2 / $100 * 100 = 2.0%)!

How Do Dividend ETFs Pay Investors?


When you own an ETF, you own parts of shares of various dividend stocks with different payout schedules. However, you donโ€™t get paid when those stocks pay outโ€”you get paid based on the ETFโ€™s payout schedule.

Dividend ETFs pay their investors the same way as dividend stocks do, with deposits appearing on your brokerage statement on a regular cycle. Some fundsโ€”like the Global X SuperDividend ETF (SDIV)โ€”pay you on a monthly cycle. But the majority, including the other six dividend ETFs on this list, all pay on a quarterly schedule, which is similar to most U.S. dividend stocks.

Why Does a Fund’s Expense Ratio Matter So Much?


a chart showing how different fund expense ratios can affect fund returns.
Young and the Invested

Every dollar you pay in expenses is a dollar that comes directly out of your returns. So, it is absolutely in your best interests to keep your expense ratios to an absolute minimum.

The expense ratio is the percentage of your investment lost each year to management fees, trading expenses and other fund expenses. Because index funds are passively managed and don’t have large staffs of portfolio managers and analysts to pay, they tend to have some of the lowest expense ratios of all mutual funds.

This matters because every dollar not lost to expenses is a dollar that is available to grow and compound. And over an investing lifetime, even a half a percent can have a huge impact. If you invest just $1,000 in a fund generating 5% per year after fees, over a 30-year horizon, it will grow to $4,116. However, if you invested $1,000 in the same fund, but it had an additional 50 basis points in fees (so it only generated 4.5% per year in returns), it would grow to only $3,584 over the same period.
