It doesn't hurt to have a source of passive income in your retirement supported by your investment portfolio.

Income is lagging growth this year. But companies like Seagate, Newmont, Tapestry and CVS offer the best of both worlds: solid dividend yields and strong stock performance.

SDY offers diversified exposure to high-yield dividend aristocrats, with a 2.52% yield and a low 0.35% expense ratio, making it attractive for income-focused portfolios. US reindustrialization and legislative incentives like the One Big Beautiful Bill Act could benefit SDY's industrial-heavy portfolio, supporting potential growth in the coming quarters. Despite its appealing yield and cost, SDY has underperformed peers like NOBL, which offers higher returns but less diversification.

Investing for retirement is a long-term process. Oftentimes, people put decades into building their nest eggs.
