Here, three Motley Fool contributors outline what makes each ETF a great buy now.</p><h2>A high-quality yield you can count on, no matter the market cycle</h2><p><b>Daniel Foelber (Vanguard Utilities ETF): </b>The Vanguard Utilities ETF isn&#39;t flashy. But it has many qualities that may appeal to a risk-averse investor focused on passive income.</p><p>The fund tracks the performance of the utility sector, which is stable, less-volatile relative to the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>.

And while some investors may prefer to pick one utility over another, a safer approach is to go with the Vanguard Utilities ETF as a foundational holding and then build individual positions from there based on personal preference.</p><h2>A genuinely global infrastructure ETF for investors</h2><p><b>Lee Samaha</b> <b>(iShares Global Infrastructure ETF):</b> Instead of trying to pick winners from a crowded field of infrastructure-related stocks, it makes sense to consider buying an infrastructure ETF that gives you diversified exposure and a 2.5% dividend yield to boot.</p><p>A genuinely global ETF, iShares Global Infrastructure ETF has slightly more than 58% of its assets in international holdings. The ETF gives investors access to utilities (about 41% of assets), including gas, water, electricity, and renewable energy. Transportation (about 38%) gives investors exposure to airport services, highways/railways, and marine infrastructure. Finally, energy (about 20%) offers exposure to oil and gas storage and transportation.</p><p>The ETF aims to benefit from increasing expenditure on infrastructure in a rapidly urbanizing world -- in other words, the increasing mass of people moving to live in cities, not least in the developing world, and the need for investment to build the infrastructure to support it. Alongside urbanization, there&#39;s a need to maintain and update critical infrastructure in the developed world, as evidenced by the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in the U.S.</p><p>The ETF won&#39;t shoot the lights out in terms of performance, but it will offer a stable, diversified way to benefit from solid megatrends in the economy that won&#39;t go away, even in a recession.</p><h2>A conservative approach to collecting big passive income</h2><p><b>Scott Levine (iShares Core High Dividend ETF): </b>Picking up shares of a high-yield dividend stock is a great way to generate strong passive income. Of course, there are inherent risks with investing in a single equity. A high-yield ETF offers a great alternative for those looking to reduce the risks of investing in a single high-yield stock. And for those interested in lowering their risk even further, the iShares Core High Dividend ETF, with its forward dividend yield of 3.5%, is an especially attractive option.</p><p>Unlike ETFs that have exposure to a particular industry, the iShares Core High Dividend ETF has exposure to multiple industries -- an appealing quality in that it mitigates the risk of a downturn in a particular sector.</p><p>Take the energy industry, for example. Of the top three holdings in the iShares Core High Dividend ETF, two are energy stocks. As of Feb. 17, <b>ExxonMobil</b> and <b>Chevron</b> accounted for 9.5% and 5.6%, respectively, of the fund&#39;s holdings. Should energy prices plummet and remain low for a protracted period of time, ExxonMobil and Chevron could reduce their dividends; however, the ample exposure to other industries suggests that the ETF&#39;s dividend wouldn&#39;t be slashed.</p><p>Another way in which the iShares Core High Dividend ETF offers a reduced risk profile is by using a conservative screening method to help identify potential holdings. According to BlackRock, the manager of the ETF, the screen looks to &#34;increase exposure to companies with healthy balance sheets&#34; and &#34;reduce exposure to companies with lower margins of safety.&#34;</p><p>Any potential investors in an ETF can&#39;t say they&#39;ve satisfied their due diligence without looking at the expense ratio. A high yield is great, but it means little if most of the distribution is coming at the cost of a high maintenance fee. Fortunately, in this case, there&#39;s no cause for concern; the iShares Core High Dividend ETF has an extremely reasonable expense ratio of 0.08%.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 High-Yield ETFs for Passive Income</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 High-Yield ETFs for Passive Income\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-03-04 10:08 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/03/03/3-high-yield-etfs-passive-income-dividends/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Thanks to their low costs, easy access, and sophistication, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have steadily taken inflows for decades.
