One of the easiest ways to build a retirement nest egg is to invest in a basket of carefully selected assets that produce strong yields. Known as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), they are managed by professional experts who select the stocks to buy and sell at a fee. You can own hundreds of different stocks at low cost and enjoy steady growth and income.
Bigger quarterly distributions can really add up over time. For serious yield hunters, the Fidelity High Dividend ETF ( NYSEARCA:FDVV) is a terrific pick in 2025. First and foremost, the FDVV features a trailing 12-month distribution yield of 3.1%. That's not a guarantee of the fund's future yield, but the Fidelity High Dividend ETF has been consistent in rewarding its loyal shareholders over the long term.
