3 Solid Dividend ETFs Retirees Can Buy in September and Hold Forever
Not all ETFs are created equal. Here are three that could be an excellent fit for a balanced portfolio.
Overview
By the time you reach retirement age, you realize that change is the one constant in life. Just because the market is performing well right now doesn't mean it will keep growing. To hedge against loss, it's a good idea to build a balanced portfolio that includes investments likely to weather market downturns.
While plenty of investments combine growth with relative security, this article focuses on dividend-paying ETFs. Because the focus is on safety, the ETFs included here prioritize sustainable income and capital preservation over sky-high yields. To be included, a fund must also hold high-quality assets, be sufficiently diversified to handle sudden market upheavals, and have a history of regular payouts.
