"Either way, the monthly income ETFs out there can help investors smoothen those volatile potholes in the road a bit as we head into what might be a rough finish to the broad market on the year. As other retail investors get hyped about Santa Claus coming to town to lift the spirits of investors as well as share prices, it might be a good time to think about taking some risk off the table."
"The JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF ( NYSEARCA:JEPI) is one of the most popular ultra-high-yield monthly income ETFs out there. And while the longer-term share chart might not look pretty, it's the dividend (and total returns) that make the ETF so intriguing, especially for those with high-income needs who'd also like to take some volatility (and tech-related risk) off the table."
"As the broad stock market looks to get that much choppier (perhaps ultimately going nowhere when all is said and done, just like during the November dip), perhaps a premium income strategy is the way to go. In this climate, when there's so much nervousness, but stubborn resilience and glimmers of brilliance, I think there's going to be a ton of volatility in both directions, and no explosive sustained moves either way."
Markets have been turbulent recently, particularly for tech investors, and monthly income ETFs can help smooth volatility while providing steady distributions. Investors may consider reducing risk exposure as retail optimism about a year-end rally gains momentum. Two monthly-paying income ETFs are highlighted for their payout cadence, portfolio makeup, and methodology that favor dividends and lower volatility. The JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI) offers an attractive yield and a modest net expense ratio, appealing to investors seeking income and reduced tech-related volatility via a premium income approach in a choppy market.
