Basic materials companies are involved in the exploration, development and processing of raw materials, but many times target specific resources, such as gold, silver and crude oil. This sector also includes companies that run refineries and plants to develop refined materials. The dividend yields within this sector are above average in comparison to the wider market.

If you’re looking to invest in dividend-paying basic materials stocks, you may also be interested in dividend-paying basic materials exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These funds offer a diversified dividend payment based on a basket of basic materials stock holdings. ETFs trade on stock exchanges, similar to equities and they’re also similar to mutual funds in that they hold securities of many companies.

3 Reasons to Invest in dividend-paying Materials ETFs:

Instead of putting all your eggs in one basket, you get a diversified dividend payment based on a basket of basic materials stocks.
All ETFs have very low fees and can be traded just like stocks.
It’s easy to gain exposure to many dividend-paying basic materials stocks with just one vehicle (ETF).

Whereas, if you’re interested in investing in individual basic materials stocks, check out the tables below.
