US dividend ETFs draw attention amid stock market volatility

·The Korea Times·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

US dividend ETFs are attracting attention from investors due to growing stock market volatility. This shift in focus is driven by investors seeking regular income, rather than relying solely on potential stock price gains. The Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, which tracks 100 US companies with strong dividend records, is one such option. These companies must have paid dividends for at least 10 consecutive years, making them a more stable choice for income-seeking investors.
