As the September ETF dividend season kicks off, high-dividend funds are seeing double-digit yields, with some reaching nearly 20% as investors seek income.

What Happened

Market Dividend Surge: Driven by uncertainty surrounding Federal Reserve interest rate policies, investors are increasingly pivoting toward high-dividend ETFs to secure stable cash flows. The September dividend season has seen numerous funds deliver double-digit annualized yields, making them a primary focus for capital allocation in a volatile market.

Top Performing ETFs: Among monthly dividend ETFs, FT Taiwan Sustainable High Dividend (00961) leads with a 17.16% yield, while the quarterly dividend category is topped by KGI Elite High Dividend 30 (00918) at an impressive 19.84%. Other popular funds like CTBC Growth High Dividend (00934) and Yuanta Taiwan High Dividend Low Volatility (00713) also continue to show robust distribution capabilities.

Rise of Active ETFs: Active ETFs are gaining traction as a new investment alternative, combining professional stock selection with income-generating strategies. Products such as the CTBC Taiwan Income Active ETF (00406A) have demonstrated strong performance, with yields reaching as high as 16.63% in the latest distribution cycle.

Outlook and Strategy: Market experts note that while macroeconomic headwinds persist, strong demand in the AI and semiconductor sectors continues to provide a solid foundation for tech-heavy portfolios. During periods of market instability, ETFs that balance high yields with growth potential remain essential tools for enhancing portfolio resilience.
