Whether you're just walking into the world of investing or getting closer to retirement, generating a powerful stream of regular income is a key goal for any investor.

It is never too late to start your investment journey, and if you're a beginner, investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can be a great choice.

Many investors in 2025 require dependable passive income, especially those nearing retirement, and one effective way to achieve this is to invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The Global X SuperDividend ETF owns the world's highest-yielding stocks. The strategy has resulted in poor overall returns since its inception. SDIV's methodology exposes investors to value traps, frequent dividend cuts amid portfolio holdings, and high turnover, undermining long-term performance. The ETF is heavily concentrated in real estate and energy, missing out on growth sectors like technology and healthcare.

Most income investors are used to waiting. They buy a dividend stock, mark the calendar, and collect a check every three months.

Generating passive income is a way to make your money work for you, with little effort.

Income-seeking investors often invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a good way to diversify and collect a dividend. However, if the dividend yield is exceptionally high, is it too good to true?
