* Marked funds have under three years of trading history. Their 3-year return is unavailable, and their max drawdown covers a shorter window than the rest of the table — a shallow figure there reflects a short life, not proven resilience. Note: this table spans multiple asset classes, so the score column compares funds doing different jobs. Compare within a category before comparing across the table. Max DD is the deepest peak-to-trough fall over the measurement window. Sharpe ratio measures return per unit of volatility — higher is better. Every figure is recalculated daily.
What Makes a Good Fund Here
Every fund on this list yields at least 3.5%, but the yields come from very different places — bond coupons, REIT distributions, option premium and ordinary dividends are not equivalent, either in sustainability or in how they are taxed. Read the category column before the yield column.
The ETFValuer score blends trailing return, risk-adjusted return, expense ratio, maximum drawdown, fund size and volatility, each percentile-ranked against the full tracked universe, into a single 0-100 figure graded A+ to F. It is a systematic summary of past data, not a forecast — read it alongside the individual columns rather than instead of them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the highest yielding ETF?
COMT currently distributes the most of the 132 high-yield funds tracked, at 32.74%. A very high yield generally signals either significant credit risk, an option-writing strategy that caps upside, or a falling share price.
Is a high yield ETF a good investment?
It depends entirely on where the yield comes from. Yield funded by profitable companies' dividends is sustainable; yield funded by returning your own capital, or by taking heavy credit risk, is not the same thing. Total return matters more than distribution rate.
