High-Yield Prospects: May 13 Edition

Sneha ShahMay 12, 2026
2026-05-12

Here is a look at ETFs that currently offer attractive income opportunities. The high-yield candidates included in this list meet two sets of criteria. First, each of these funds is deemed to be a high-yield prospect because it boasts an annual dividend yield upwards of 5%.

Second, each of these ETFs also boasts over $100 million in total assets under management to help steer investors away from less established funds. As always, investors of all experience levels are advised to use stop-loss orders and practice disciplined profit-taking techniques.

To get access to all ETF Database premium content, sign up for a free 14-day trial to ETF Database Pro.

  • A total of 104 ETFs made it to our list of high-yield prospects this month. ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO A+), YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs (YMAX A) were the top performers this month.

Track the performance of the top dividend ETFs here.

Compare the Top 100 Highest Dividend-Yield ETFs here. The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the most recent dividend payment by the latest closing price of the fund.
