3 Simple ETFs Worth Buying and Holding for Decades
Tech and AI stocks are hot right now, but dividend payers are built for the long-term.
Overview
Investors looking at today's market might take the easy route and focus solely on tech-sector stocks, especially those related to artificial intelligence (AI). After all, these stocks have spent the last several years outperforming the market by a wide margin. But if you really want something that's durable, consistent, and long-lasting in your portfolio, dividend-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are the place to look.
Dividend ETFs won't be as exciting as tech stocks. But most of these funds invest in companies that generate consistent profit growth, strong cash flows, and a history of rewarding shareholders with growing dividends. Plus, they tend to hold up better during declining or volatile markets.
Details
In 2026, several dividend ETFs are outperforming the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) amid rising concerns about inflation, geopolitical risk, and government deficits. That's why now is an especially good time to consider adding these to your portfolio.
