Each week, we calculate the average YTD total return for hundreds of income-generating active ETFs across six equity and equity-like income categories — from dividend growth and covered calls to preferred stock and alternative income strategies — apply a minimum AUM threshold of USD 10 million to filter out ETFs lacking sufficient scale, and rank categories by that average, surfacing the top performers within each. The result is a consistent, data-driven weekly snapshot that helps income investors quickly identify where active management is delivering results right now.
For income-focused investors, this week’s Active ETF Income Scorecard captures a sharp reversal in market breadth: domestic high dividend funds reclaim the top spot from foreign dividend strategies after just one week, even as an oil price spike tied to renewed Middle East tensions cooled five of the six categories tracked here.
Income-generating active ETF categories are ranked below by the average YTD total return of some of the largest active ETFs in each category, as measured by their latest reported AUM.
