Dividend ETF Categories Explained
📈 Dividend Growth ETFs
Focus on companies with strong track records of increasing dividends over time. These ETFs typically hold dividend aristocrats and companies with sustainable dividend growth potential.
💰 High-Yield ETFs
Target companies offering above-average dividend yields. These ETFs provide higher current income but may have less dividend growth potential compared to growth-focused funds.
