"Monthly income ETFs have surged in popularity as investors seek steady cash flow. The Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF ( NYSEARCA:DIVO) takes a different approach, focusing on quality dividend-paying equities rather than covered calls. With a 4.7% yield exceeding the 10-year Treasury, monthly distributions, and an 18% total return year-to-date through mid-December 2025, DIVO offers a compelling blend of income and growth."
"DIVO produces yield primarily through dividends from blue-chip companies, not options premiums. The fund holds a concentrated, equal-weighted portfolio of approximately 25 dividend-growth stocks, with top positions including IBM, Microsoft, American Express, Caterpillar, and JPMorgan Chase each representing roughly 5% of assets. This differs sharply from alternatives like JEPI, which generates an 8.2% yield largely through selling call options. Dividend Safety Assessment: Top Holdings Analysis"
DIVO offers a 4.7% yield with monthly distributions and an 18% total return year-to-date through mid-December 2025. The fund generates income mainly from dividends by holding a concentrated, equal-weighted portfolio of about 25 dividend-growth blue-chip stocks. Top positions — IBM, Microsoft, American Express, Caterpillar, and JPMorgan Chase — each represent roughly 5% of assets. This approach contrasts with covered-call ETFs like JEPI, which rely on option premiums for higher yields. Analysis of DIVO’s largest holdings shows generally conservative payout ratios and strong fundamentals, with IBM the highest payout and Microsoft and American Express displaying low, well-covered dividends.
