Thanks to rising interest rates, fixed-income investors can once again enjoy competitive yields on assets like Treasury bills and certificates of deposit, or CDs. That being said, for equity investors willing to take on more risk, dividend stocks still remain a viable option.
An easy way of gaining exposure is via an exchange-traded fund, or ETF, that selects a basket of high-yielding equities by tracking an external index, using a proprietary quantitative screening methodology, or via the fund manager's discretion. These ETFs are referred to as high-yield dividend ETFs.
