Income ETFs

One directory for every dividend-paying fund we track — the covered-call giants, the weekly option-income newcomers, bond funds, REITs, and the blue-chip growers — each carrying its latest actual payment, its rhythm, and a health grade recomputed every night from its own record.

Reading the nightly grades…

Fund Health Latest Check Pays Next Expected*

*Next expected = the last ex-date plus the fund's own payment rhythm — an estimate from past spacing, not an announcement. Amounts are per share, as declared; variable payers differ check to check. Hover any ticker for the fund's full name. Grades recompute nightly.

What Is an Income ETF? One Umbrella, Several Machines

"Income ETF" is an umbrella over funds that earn their payouts in unrelated ways, and the difference matters more than the yield number. Option-income funds sell calls and mail out the premium — big checks, capped upside, amounts that swing with volatility. Bond funds pass through interest and answer to rates. REIT payers pass through rents. Dividend-growth funds pay from profits and tend to raise slowly for decades. The frequency column tells you the rhythm; the hover on each ticker tells you the machine.

Every grade here is computed from the fund's own payment record, nightly — no category gets credit for its reputation. From any row: price a monthly goal with the goal calculator, narrow to weekly payers, monthly payers, or the covered call ETFs, grade your own holdings on the fund health check, or open any ticker's complete payment history. Everything links; nothing here is advice. Brand new to ETFs? The beginner's guide explains what you're buying before this directory shows you what it pays.
