2 First-Rate ETFs for Stock Dividends

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) designed to generate dividend income have become more popular in this market cycle as investors seek investments that can balance out the losses in their portfolios. Dividend-focused ETFs can provide income if you decide to take the distributions, but they can also boost the total return of the ETF when they are reinvested. An added benefit of income-focused ETFs right now is that they are typically generating higher returns than other types of equity investments, mainly because they invest in large, stable companies that are able to weather the volatility better than most.
