ETF Dividends

ETFs can pick stocks for you, but did you know they can send money to you as well?

Even though you can buy & sell ETFs (just like stocks), some ETFs pay you to own them 😮

Say hello to ETF Dividends! ✨

ETF Dividends pay investors on a quarterly basis just to hold the ETF

But, not all ETFs offer dividends! 🖐️

This is important to consider when choosing ETFs

The ETF’s managers ultimately get to decide how much and how often investors are paid 🤑

So, if you own $VOO than Jack Bogle’s Vanguard team would calculate the best payout 💰

Even though most dividend payouts come in cash to your buying power, some ETFs grant their investors extra shares 🎁

With stocks you earn the dividend as long as you purchase the stock before the ex-date 💸

But with ETFs, you should hold the dividend ETF for more than 60 days 🗓️

So, now you know that dividends and ETFs can work together to make your life easier and more profitable 🤑
