High-Yield Dividend ETFs

Funds currently distributing 5% or more, annualized.

ETFs reach high yields by different roads: holding high-yield stocks or bonds, writing covered calls and distributing the premium, or applying leverage. The road matters more than the number, because it determines how the distribution behaves when markets fall.

Covered-call funds in particular trade upside for income — their high distributions are option premium, paid for by capping gains in rallies.

Methodology

ETFs in our coverage with an annualized distribution yield of 5% or higher, ordered by yield.

What to Keep in Mind

A double-digit fund yield usually includes option premium, leverage or return of capital rather than portfolio dividends alone. Check each fund's distribution history — and whether NAV has held up — before comparing it to a simple equity yield.

Frequently asked questions

How can an ETF yield 10% or more?

Usually by converting something else into distributions: option premium (covered-call funds), leverage, or return of capital. Each sustains a high payout in a different way, with different behavior in drawdowns.
