"With an expense ratio of 0.13%, a yield of about 3.7%, and 155 holdings, including a great deal of real estate investment trusts (REITs), the Vanguard Real Estate ETF ( NYSEARCA: VNQ) is a safe, long-term real estate opportunity. In fact, some of the ETF's top holdings include Welltower, Prologis, American Tower Corp., Equinix, Digital Realty Trust, and Simon Property Group. Plus, it just paid a quarterly dividend of just over 86 cents on June 30. Before that, it paid a dividend of just over 93 cents on March 27. Making it even more attractive is the recovery in commercial real estate. According to analysts at Deloitte, the CRE market is showing signs of recovery in 2025, with some predicting a generational opportunity, as noted in Deloitte's 2025 Commercial Real Estate Outlook. Since bottoming out at around $76 in April, the ETF is now up to $92.81. From here, we'd like to see it rally back to $96 a share. While we wait, we can collect its quarterly payouts."
"If you want to protect your portfolio and generate passive income, consider yielding exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Not only do ETFs offer a good deal of diversification, but they can also help lower your overall risk compared to investing in an average security. One of the best ways to generate a reliable income is by investing in dividend aristocrats because they're among the most reliable dividend payers. Not only have these stocks paid out dividends for more than 25 years, but they're also some of the most reliable companies on the planet, even in the worst of times. And while you could always buy a basket of aristocrats, you can instead pick up the ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF ( BATS: NOBL), which holds 69 of them and yields 2.54%. Its expense ratio is 0.3"
