Income spotlight: Monthly‑pay ETFs getting clicks (JEPI, DIV, DIVO)
A fresh 24/7 Wall St. roundup of monthly income ETFs spotlights:
- JEPI (JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF): ~7.17% yield, about 11% “income yield” over the past 12 months via options writing.
- DIV (Global X SuperDividend U.S.): ~7.67% yield, concentrated in energy, real estate and utilities.
- DIVO (Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income): ~4.86% yield, with a covered‑call overlay and strong recent multi‑year total returns. 24/7 Wall St.
The takeaway for retirees: JEPI/DIV/DIVO can complement a core dividend ETF such as SCHD if monthly cash flow is a priority—though strategies and risk profiles differ (options overlays, sector tilts, active management). 24/7 Wall St.
Fees, yield and strategy: Where SCHD fits
- Expense ratio:0.06% (among the lowest in its peer group).
- Objective: Track the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100™ Index (focus on quality, sustainability of dividends). Schwab Brokerage
On yield, Schwab’s latest fund report shows:
- 30‑day SEC yield:~3.92% (latest fact sheet figures). Schwab Wall Street
Bottom line: SCHD remains a low‑cost, rules‑based dividend core holding, while monthly‑payout funds like JEPI/DIV/DIVO target higher current income—often by taking different sources of risk (e.g., options premium or sector concentration). 24/7 Wall St.
Portfolio tilt & what to watch
Earlier this year, SCHD boosted its energy exposure during its annual reconstitution—lifting the stake into the ~20% neighborhood. That can support income when energy outperforms, but it also raises cyclicality and commodity‑linked risk. Current Schwab data show energy near ~19–20% of assets. Barron’s
Next dividend date: SCHD’s next ex‑dividend date is slated for Dec. 10, 2025, based on the distribution calendar. Wall Street Horizon

- Watch flows and rebalances: Short‑term outflows don’t necessarily change a long‑term thesis, but they can signal sentiment—watch whether negative flows persist. TipRanks
