Investors looking to generate steady income from their investments often turn to dividend stocks and dividend-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs). In today’s low-interest-rate environment, where savings accounts and bonds provide minimal returns, dividend-paying investments provide an attractive option for those seeking higher yields.

One popular strategy for investors looking to maximize their dividend income is to build a portfolio consisting of high-dividend-yield ETFs. These ETFs typically hold a diversified basket of dividend-paying stocks and distribute a portion of the dividend income to shareholders on a regular basis. By investing in a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying ETFs, investors can benefit from the income generated by a range of companies across different sectors and geographies.

One popular approach to building a high-dividend-yield portfolio is to focus on ETFs that offer dividends of 5% or more. While higher dividends are generally associated with higher risk, investing in dividend-focused ETFs can help mitigate this risk by spreading investments across a range of companies.

Here are some dividend ETFs to consider for a high-dividend-yield portfolio:

1. Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM): This ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index, which includes high-dividend-paying U.S. companies. VYM currently has a dividend yield of around 3.5%, making it a solid choice for investors seeking reliable income.

2. iShares Select Dividend ETF (DVY): This ETF tracks the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index, which includes high-yielding U.S. companies. DVY currently has a dividend yield of around 3.6% and provides exposure to a variety of sectors.

3. SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (SDY): This ETF tracks the performance of the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index, which includes companies that have consistently increased their dividends for at least 20 years. SDY currently has a dividend yield of around 2.5% and provides exposure to companies with a strong track record of dividend growth.

4. Global X SuperDividend ETF (SDIV): This ETF seeks to provide exposure to 100 high-dividend-paying global companies outside of the U.S. SDIV currently has a dividend yield of around 7.5% and offers diversification across different geographies and sectors.

5. iShares International Select Dividend ETF (IDV): This ETF provides exposure to high-dividend-yielding international companies in developed markets. IDV currently has a dividend yield of around 6.5% and offers diversification outside of the U.S.

Investors looking to build a diversified high-dividend-yield portfolio can consider a combination of these ETFs to spread their investments across different regions and sectors. By investing in a mix of domestic and international dividend-focused ETFs, investors can maximize their income potential while reducing the risk associated with individual stock selection.

In conclusion, building a portfolio of high-dividend-yield ETFs can be a smart way for investors to generate steady income from their investments. By focusing on ETFs that offer dividends of 5% or more, investors can benefit from the consistent income generated by a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying companies. With careful selection and proper diversification, investors can build a portfolio that provides big dividends while managing risk effectively.

    I started investing in the stock market because of dividends. What matters, in my opinion, is that if you invest and earn more money in addition to dividends, you will be able to live off of dividends without selling. It implies that you can pass that on to your children, giving them a head start in life. I've invested over $600k in dividend stocks over the years; I continue to buy more today and will continue to do so until the price lowers even further.

  2. @peterh2459

    NUSI at a 7.83% dividend could work as well,vxus and spyd would make a great three pronged effort.

  3. @alessandrobartoli2796

    The fact that your video are free feels like a steal everytime. Didn't knew that you helped creating an index but i was already sure that your knowledge on the subjects is great. Keep up the great work

  4. @doubleinfinification

    8% isn't worth the time, imo. chances are the total return will end up making something like the performance of the s&p something to be desired

  5. @salmanal-shereif4399

    Please we need a channel or series videos for high risk investment , who is with me….

  6. @68RedDragonz

    Yes, higher yields. I have to build quickly, 5% for me is a bare minimum "do I have to?" bottom. Building a portfolio of 8-10%

  7. @firelordsozin3677

    " Hi Im Jimmy" classic!
    love that intro! i always respond " hi, jimmy" in my head haha

  8. @ckent8513

    Just came across this video. Please do another video on your thoughts re: covered call or split shares ETFs which offer high yields too.

  9. @wolfpackgaming2492

    The fee percentage is how much you’re going to be charged ?

  10. @7339c

    can you please recommend an investing platform? My broke does not have any of these names on it. Thanks

  11. @brucelocker6633

    Excellent video…….I have been searching for suggested dividend portfolio video and this hits the mark…..thanks

  12. @brucelocker6633

    Yes,,,,,please do a video on a higher income portfolio

  13. @davidevalenza9674

    Hello,
    I want to add the SPYD ETF to my portfolio but I am resident in Europe and I do not find it on my broker (DeGiro).

    Can you please suggest an alternative available for European investors?

    Really appreciate if you can help,
    Thank you

  14. @neilmartin99

    Why not just pay yourself a dividend on any stock you'd like and then buy it back on any 3% or greater dip?
    Many high div stocks are slugs in terms of growth.
    Unless you have hundreds of millions to invest, dividends should not be chased in this current market.
    Works for me.

  15. @melihhabip

    Great video! I'd want to hear the riskier higher yield portfolio 🙂

  16. @davekammler9302

    Can you please to a review of O'Leary (Kevin O'Leary of Sharktank) O'Shares O’Shares ETFs | Rules-based ETFs similar to what you did with the Ray Dialio All Weather portfolio?

  17. @resipsaloquitur1775

    Why PGX over PFFD? PFFD has lower expense ratio by nearly 50% and has a slightly higher yield.

  18. @hansschotterradler3772

    Or you could just buy VZ without any expense ratio, a company that pays 4.5%, has the prospects of significant growth due to G5, and is Warren Buffets newest major holding.

  19. @guardianeverseal

    Great video, and information. I was wondering about maybe adding this to my roth ira

  20. @pedronrivera22

    Can you do a video using only vanguard or fidelity etf/mutual funds?

  21. @victorq5309

    I want to trade QQQX when NQ dips.

  22. @cameronmachado1774

    Bought spyd cause of you, and it's been doing well.

  23. @zaq55

    Seeing various expense ratios for HIPS. MarketWatch say it’s 0.70%, but the Granite Shares website itself says “Total Expense Ratio” of 3.19%. Yahoo Finance says 1.27%, as does the US News and World Report website, and Morningstar.

    I’m also seeing some variation in the yield for BLV, from 2.5% up to 5.8%, so I’m not sure what’s going on here. Seems odd that a long-term bond fund is producing yields that high, especially when the top holdings are indicated as 20-year Treasuries with 1.3 to 3.3% yields.

    SPYD and NOBL have a fairly high correlation, which makes sense since they are both big, S&P 500 stock funds. But you might want to pick one, and diversify into another sector.

  24. @DoomLegion83

    or…. use vanguard all etf

  25. @luisfrps

    All dividend ETFs with dividend higher than 7% go down over time, so people always loose money. They are all bad investments! NEVER choose a ETF higher than 7% yield!!

  26. @phredmfalme2498

    great video and information as always Jimmy! Thanks bro

  27. @Griiemy23

    HIPS isnt on M1 platform, does anyone know why that is?

  28. @lewis20002000

    I am not going to be pissed if you get paid, just be transparent, honest and work for what you're selling me. Let's all win.

  29. @ubiquitousnomad2011

    You and Sven Carlin need to get together and make a portfolio.

  30. @Mpo838

    What would be the TSX version of these ?

  31. @lucifers6660

    Hi Jimmy, thank you. One comment: You use too much force to talk, perhaps you can take it easy more.

  32. @lomofatboy

    Love ur channel

  33. @simon373

    Hi Jimmy ! What do you think about QYLD ?

  34. @amakaqueru33

    I'm not able to find HIPS in M1 finance

  35. @ZhongHuaHuangDi

    Is that 20% by amount of money or by amount of shares?

  36. @JS-bd7pn

    Why is there such hype around dividends? The exciting things in the markets don’t pay a 5% dividend. I’d consider anything above 3% to be largely sacrificing long term returns for cash flow. Unless you are ready to retire through dividends, I think a portfolio designed like this is not smart.

  37. @deanlehman4723

    THANKS , JUST STARTING A ETF PORTFOLIO .I STARTED WITH NOBL AND CDL GOING TO ADD HIPS AND BAR.

  38. @glitchlife4639

    I do not undersstand how ETF's work. They seem less valuable then buying actual stocks. Do you buy and sell shares just as you would in an etf? Its just the etf grows and you can sell your etf shares?

  39. @4MinutesBooks

    Nice thanks for the video. I have recently come across CEFs (like GOF or CGO) and some of them seem to have pretty high distributions (10% magnitude). I'd love to hear your thoughts :-). Have you ever thought about a video on those? Thank you for your commitment and great videos!

  40. @leastenhouse2375

    Hi I’m new to investing. Was just wondering what platform/ brokers would be best for a beginner like myself. Looking to start small and build on it

  41. @nileshshinde1578

    Sir,
    I m indian resident, i have fund around 1500$. I want to invest in US companies where i get good growth on my capital. My time horizon is upto 10 years. Request you to suggest me good companies where i do my investments.

  42. @matthurlbut7409

    Yes high risk, high dividend portfolio would be a great video

  43. @elzbane4588

    Yup we are interested

  44. @usakohaito

    Hi Jimmy, As far as I remember, the dividend yield of SPYD became lower to around 3 – 4 % now?
