When you retire, a significant shift in your investing strategy is necessary. Your aim shifts from capital accumulation to preservation, meaning you no longer take considerable risks. Instead, you try to keep as much as you have while making the most income out of it.

No one can say when that can happen, but it’s better to err on the safe side if you are retired. The best way to do so is by investing in dividend exchange-traded funds that can buck the trend and keep mailing you checks regardless of what the broader economy is doing.
Here are five dividend ETFs to look into.
