Getting a monthly dividend check from your investments is a luxury not all ETFs offer. Like most companies that pay dividends, the majority of dividend-focused ETFs distribute income quarterly. However, with nearly 4,000 ETFs now trading in the U.S. market, finding precisely what you need is possible if you know where to look.
Through these five ETFs, you can not only collect monthly income but also gain significant market exposure to many of the very companies driving the economy. We’ve included funds that track major indices like the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, alongside a few others for good measure.
Once you align with broader market performance, there’s often little need to explore other ETFs, unless you are equipped to cherry pick individual stocks yourself. This is why we’re confident that these five ETFs—each providing monthly dividends—can meet your core income and market exposure needs.
