Market cap $56.6M

In the early innings of 2026, dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are offering a rarified combo of performance as well as income. This places a spotlight on and the Franklin U.S. Dividend Booster Index ETF (XUDV) and the Franklin International Dividend Booster Index ETF (XIDV), which have both been strong performers to start the year.

Strong performance and dividend yields amid volatility — typically, an investor may need to sacrifice one in order to maximize the other. However, the Franklin U.S. Dividend Booster Index ETF (XUDV) is proving otherwise.

The ETF universe continued to expand in 2025, with a growing number of high-income products incorporating options strategies to enhance payouts. However, for many investors and advisors, traditional ETFs that own dividend-paying stocks remain a core component of a well-rounded portfolio.

A dividend ETF can add both income and stability to a portfolio and serve as a complement alongside active and passive strategies. VettaFi Head of Sector & Industry Research, Roxanna Islam, recently moderated a webcast that highlighted this concept and featured Franklin Templeton's VP, Head of U.S.

For many of us, ETFs have been synonymous with passive management. Since the early 1990s, ETFs have followed in the footsteps of the most well-known passive ETF — the S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY).
