A Cost-Effective ETF Option for High Dividend Stocks

Over the long-term, high-quality dividend-paying stock exchange traded funds could produce outperforming results. Stocks with steady dividend yields reassure investors of a company’s strong financial health. Additionally, dividend-paying stocks typically outperform those that do not pay over the long haul, with less volatility, due to the compounding effect of dividends on the investment’s overall return.

The iShares Core High Dividend ETF (HDV) is one ETF that can position investors for years of consistent, dependable dividends. HDV, which tracks high-quality U.S. companies that have been screened for financial health and relatively high dividends, is chock full of dependable dividend sector and groups that, in recent years, have displayed favorable dividend growth traits. For example, consumer staples and healthcare names combine for over 35% of the ETF’s weight.
