Dividend ETFs
Dividend ETFs can come with a lot of caveats — this is an important consideration for investors. Different dividend ETFs may report (and pay) their dividends in different ways, for example one-time capital gains can really skew the yield and give the illusion of a high recurring payout when in reality gains-driven dividends are often tied to a temporary outperformance of the sector or strategy. Reporting can also differ, sometimes with a 30-day lookback, other times with a quarterly lookback, and even a trailing twelve month lookback, all depending on the dividend ETF in question. So it is important for investors to keep in mind that with dividend ETFs, much more research is warranted to determine whether past/current yield is expected to continue.
