Markets have been cooler.
But with geopolitical tensions and higher yields hitting the economy, fear is ramping higher again. As a result, some investors are jumping out of the market, which is a terrible idea.
By jumping out, you’re preventing yourself from making your money back from a resilient market. We have to remember that markets have been through worse pullbacks and bounced.
Instead of jumping out, consider diversifying with yielding ETFs, such as:
Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF
With an expense ratio of 0.05% and a monthly yield of 1.73%, the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (SYM: VIG) is also an attractive opportunity.
It tracks the performance of the S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index and invests in large-cap stock with a record of dividend growth.
Some of the VIG ETF’s 338 holdings include Apple, Microsoft, Broadcom, JPMorgan, Eli Lilly, Visa, Exxon Mobil, UnitedHealth Group, Mastercard and Costco Wholesale to name a few.
Fidelity High Dividend ETF
We can also look at the Fidelity High Dividend ETF (SYM: FDVV).
With an expense ratio of 0.16% and a yield of 3.26%, the FDVV ETF tracks the Fidelity High Dividend Index, which is designed to reflect the performance of stocks of large- and mid-capitalization dividend-paying companies that are expected to continue to grow dividends.
Some of its top holdings include Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, JPMorgan Chase, Visa, Exxon Mobil, Philip Morris, and Procter & Gamble to name a few.
iShares Core High Dividend ETF
There’s also the iShares Core High Dividend ETF (SYM: HDV).
With an expense ratio of 0.08% and a yield of 3.3%, the HDV ETF tracks the investment results of an index composed of relatively high dividend-paying U.S. equities. Some of its 75 holdings include Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson, Progressive Corp., Chevron, AbbVie, Philip Morris, AT&T, and Coca-Cola to name just a few.
Before making any sudden moves in this volatile environment, diversification remains key — especially with high-yield dividend ETFs offering relative stability and income potential.
But while everyday investors are playing defense, America’s wealthiest are making bold, strategic moves — and they’re all starting to look eerily alike…

The world's wealthiest individuals are making oddly similar moves with their money.
Over the past six months, we've observed a disturbing pattern:
Warren Buffett has liquidated millions of bank stocks.
Bill Gates has sold off 500,000 shares of Microsoft.
And Jeff Bezos is planning to sell Amazon shares worth $4.8 billion.
What is going on?
Former White House advisor Jim Rickards believes they are preparing for a seismic shift in the markets triggered by President Trump's most ambitious economic initiative yet.
In fact, these billionaires aren't just selling – they appear to be moving their wealth into a sector that's likely to soar in the weeks ahead.
Rickards recently revealed exactly which corner of the market these insiders are targeting and how everyday Americans can follow their lead before it's too late.
