How this list is built
It lists ETFs paying a dividend: 3,979 funds, sorted by yield, high to low. Funds with a structural flag stay out: 657 funds today. The list is rebuilt each night from etf.net’s data. This version is from Oct 29, 2026.
What to watch
- A very high yield often comes from option income or a falling price. Check the 1-year return beside it.
- Funds with a structural flag, such as leveraged and single-stock funds, stay out of this list.
Questions
- Which ETF has the highest dividend yield?
