Highest Yield ETFs
Ranked by trailing-12-month distribution yield (cash distributions ÷ current price). This is NOT the SEC yield; high trailing yields, especially on option-income and leveraged funds, often include return of capital and can fall. Funds under $50M excluded.
Sparklines show the trailing 12 months of dividend-adjusted closes, through Oct 20, 2026.
