When you scan a list of high-yielding master limited partnerships, the distribution yield is usually the first number that catches your eye. An 8% yield looks appealing next to a 4% investment-grade bond or a 1.5% S&P 500 dividend. But yield on its own tells you nothing about whether that payout is safe. The coverage ratio compares how much cash an MLP generates against how much it pays out.

The VanEck Energy Income ETF (NYSEARCA:EINC) pays a distribution yield in the 3.2% to 3.6% range while behaving like a commodity-leveraged equity fund, with shares up about 25% year to date and roughly 27% over the past year.

Most energy ETFs are a way to play oil prices. The VanEck Energy Income ETF (NYSEARCA:EINC) is something more boring and arguably more useful.

EINC has returned 29.99% gain over the past year while continuing to pay quarterly distributions.

VanEck Energy Income ETF (EINC) earns a buy rating for its high, stable dividend yield and strong total return track record. EINC's top holdings—WMB, ENB, and TRP—offer a blend of income growth, profitability, and strategic positioning in midstream energy infrastructure. Despite a higher expense ratio (0.47%), EINC's nearly 4% yield and robust dividend growth outpace peer energy ETFs.

Now is the perfect time to start hunting for undervalued dividend ETFs with high upside potential.

EINC: Largely Under The Radar And Among The Cheapest

Beating the market and providing above-market income are two things that don't always go together, but that's the case with these three ETFs in 2024. These funds are beating out the just over 23% return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust NYSEARCA: SPY, which tracks the S&P 500 and provides dividend income above its 1.2% yield.

Dividend-paying stocks provide a steady income stream and help mitigate potential losses during weaker market periods.

Energy companies have put up mixed results for the latest quarter. Some have outperformed expectations and others have significantly underperformed.
