Dividend ETFs are a type of ETF that invests in a portfolio of stocks that pay dividends. The dividends are then distributed to the shareholders of the ETF. These types of ETFs are popular among investors looking for a steady income stream, as they provide a way to invest in a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying stocks and receive regular dividends. Dividend ETFs can be found in various sectors, such as technology, healthcare, or energy, and can be focused on a specific country or region.
