  2. Dividend Stocks
  3. Financial

Finance companies engage in the management and investment of money to most efficiently allocate capital. These companies have a variety of different structures, such as consumer-facing retail banks, insurance companies and closed-ended funds. The dividend yields within this sector are much higher than the wider market.

If you’re looking to invest in dividend-paying financial stocks, you may also be interested in dividend-paying financial exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These funds offer a diversified dividend payment based on a basket of financial 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 Financials ETFs:

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

Get access to all dividend-paying Financials ETFs!
