"Last year didn't end up being as pivotal as expected, with the market rallying to even higher highs, and there's plenty of uncertainty surrounding 2026. If you want to win big while generating income from your portfolio, look into the Fidelity High Dividend ETF (NYSEARCA:FDVV ) , Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund ETF (NYSEARCA:VNQ ) , and Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEARCA:SCHD ) ."
"This year could indeed make or break the market rally. Interest rates are coming down, and the trend will accelerate if Jerome Powell is replaced by a Trump appointee as expected. Reduced interest rates will either stoke panic in tandem with lower jobs figures, or they will add even more fuel to the ongoing AI rally. Anyone saying they know which will be the case is lying."
"FDVV is up 12.67% over the past year, and 14.97% including dividends. This is almost what the S&P 500 returned, but with a more attractive risk-reward setup. Tech stocks constitute only 26% of FDVV, whereas they constitute over 35% of the S&P 500. You'll benefit from this lower exposure to tech if they correct in 2026. If not, you'll still benefit from their growth while getting dividends."
2026 presents notable market uncertainty following a stronger-than-expected rally last year. Interest rates are expected to come down, and a Trump appointee replacing Jerome Powell could accelerate that decline. Falling rates could either trigger panic alongside weaker jobs data or further amplify the AI-led market rally, and the outcome remains unpredictable. Investing in reliable dividend ETFs can provide income and potential long-term upside. The Fidelity High Dividend ETF (FDVV) uses a smart-beta approach to target large- and mid-cap dividend growers, offers a 2.87% yield and a 0.15% expense ratio. Vanguard's VNQ provides real estate exposure, and Schwab's SCHD offers US dividend equity exposure.
