BetaShares-The ultimate guide to dividend ETFs
November 6, 2024--Dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer investors the opportunity to generate attractive income.
Not only can dividend ETFs provide investors with relatively attractive yields, but some strategies intentionally seek to grow income above the rate of inflation.
In this article, we'll explore the world of dividend ETFs and what to look for before investing in these products.
Key takeaways
Dividend ETFs aim to invest in companies that are expected to pay high, reliable and/or growing income streams.
Dividend ETFs can invest in a range of different types of assets, including Australian shares, international shares and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
Distributions can be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.
ETF issuers do not keep dividends as performance fees -they are generally paid out to investors as distributable income.

Asia's Economies Can Embrace Services to Boost Growth and Productivity
October 30, 2024--Manufacturing has been the engine of growth in Asia, but a transition to modern, tradable services could be new source of growth and productivity
The Asia-Pacific region prospered by becoming the source of more than half of global factory output, but another transformation to higher-productivity services has the potential to further support growth.
Employment and production typically move from agriculture to manufacturing to services, as part of natural progression that comes with rising income.
Today, many Asian countries-including China, Indonesia, Korea, and Thailand-are highly industrialized. If history is a guide, industry's share of production will shrink as more activity passes to services.
Indeed, the growth of services has already drawn about half of the region's workers into that sector, up from just 22 percent in 1990, as hundreds of millions moved from farms and factories.
