Highest Dividend Yield ETFs
Ranked high-yield dividend ETFs with TTM yields, payout context, and ticker links
Data updated 2026-09-13. Yields refresh on an hourly cache.
This list ranks exchange-traded funds by trailing twelve-month dividend yield (roughly 2–20%). High yield is not the same as high quality — covered-call and single-stock funds can pay large distributions while NAV drifts lower. Use the table for discovery, then verify total return and distribution composition on each ETF scorecard and with the NAV erosion calculator.

Frequently asked questions
What are the highest yield dividend ETFs?
Highest-yield dividend ETFs are exchange-traded funds whose trailing twelve-month distribution yield ranks near the top of the ETF universe. Yields can look attractive, but some funds distribute return of capital or use options overlays — always check NAV trend and distribution composition alongside yield.
Are high-yield ETFs safe for income investors?
Not automatically. A high headline yield can mask NAV erosion, especially in covered-call and single-stock funds. Use yield together with total return, payout sustainability, and tools like the NAV erosion calculator before sizing a position.
How often is this highest-yield ETF list updated?
Membership is driven by live yield filters on our market data (ETFs with roughly 2–20% TTM yield), refreshed on an hourly cache. Rankings can change as prices and distributions move.
How do I compare two high-yield ETFs?
Open any pair in the Compare Dividend Returns tool to model DRIP, income, and total return side by side — then cross-check holdings and NAV path on each ETF scorecard.
