"Retirees seeking steady income and lower market risk often favor investments that pay regular dividends, keep costs low, and spread risk across many holdings. Exchange-traded funds can do all three. Below are three ETFs that combine modest volatility with dependable yields; the fund descriptions, distribution schedules, and fee figures are accurate as of September 20, 2025. These ETFs are attractive to retirees due to their diversification, low volatility, cost structure, or dividend distribution schedules."
"LVHD targets U.S. stocks that offer relatively high dividends while exhibiting lower price swings. The fund tilts toward defensive sectors such as consumer staples, real estate, and utilities and uses risk controls to limit concentration. Its trailing/30-day yield currently sits in the low-to-mid 3 percent range (about 3.3 percent). LVHD pays distributions quarterly and carries an expense ratio of roughly 0.27 percent."
