Markets are pushing higher.
But with tension with economic uncertainties, that could change. While it would be easy to just sell everything out of fear you’ll lose money, that’s actually a terrible idea.
By jumping out, you’re preventing yourself from making your money back from a resilient market. We have to remember that markets have been through worse pullbacks and bounced.
Instead, in these uncertain times, protect your portfolio with yielding ETFs, such as:
Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF
With an expense ratio of 0.05% and a monthly yield of 1.73%, the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) is also an attractive opportunity.
It tracks the performance of the S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index and invests in large-cap stock with a record of dividend growth.
Some of the VIG ETF’s 338 holdings include Apple, Microsoft, Broadcom, JPMorgan, Eli Lilly, Visa, Exxon Mobil, UnitedHealth Group, Mastercard and Costco Wholesale to name a few.
Fidelity High Dividend ETF
We can also look at the Fidelity High Dividend ETF (FDVV).
With an expense ratio of 0.16% and a yield of 3.26%, the FDVV ETF tracks the Fidelity High Dividend Index, which is designed to reflect the performance of stocks of large- and mid-capitalization dividend-paying companies that are expected to continue to grow dividends.
Some of its top holdings include Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, JPMorgan Chase, Visa, Exxon Mobil, Philip Morris, and Procter & Gamble to name a few.
iShares Core High Dividend ETF
There’s also the iShares Core High Dividend ETF (HDV).
With an expense ratio of 0.08% and a yield of 3.3%, the HDV ETF tracks the investment results of an index composed of relatively high dividend-paying U.S. equities. Some of its 75 holdings include Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson, Progressive Corp., Chevron, AbbVie, Philip Morris, AT&T, and Coca-Cola to name just a few.
