The best distributing ETFs with high dividend yields, which provide investors with regular payouts and are particularly attractive in times of crisis, were recently presented by Handelsblatt. Here are some of the top ETFs with strong dividends:
Global Top-Performing ETFs
- iShares Stoxx Global Select Dividend 100: This ETF invests in 100 dividend-paying stocks from 23 countries. It is cost-effective and offers an attractive dividend yield.
- VanEck ETF on a Global Dividend Index: This ETF has no regional restrictions, leading to broader diversification (e.g., USA about 15%, France also about 15%, Italy about 9%). The financial sector dominates with around 40% weighting, followed by healthcare and utilities. The performance was positive (+45% value increase in recent years), and payouts have continuously increased over the past five years, resulting in a total return of about 73% before taxes.
- iShares Stoxx Europe 600 Banks: Ranked first according to Handelsblatt for distributing funds.
Another Look at L&G Quality Equity Dividends
The L&G Quality Equity Dividends ESG Exclusions Europe ex-UK UCITS ETF shows a stable and slightly growing distribution. The dividend per share increases from €0.41 to recently €0.52, offering a dividend yield of about 3.8% – significantly higher than many US indices or the Euro Stoxx 50 at around 2.7%. However, this ETF is more cyclically influenced by sectors like finance and industry.
In summary, these ETFs offer investors both high ongoing returns through regular dividend payouts and long-term growth potential through price increases – ideal for income-oriented investors, especially in uncertain market phases.
