"For investors seeking monthly income, JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF ( NYSEARCA:JEPI) has become a household name with its substantial yield. But Invesco KBW High Dividend Yield Financial ETF ( NASDAQ:KBWD) offers an even higher yield by focusing exclusively on financial sector dividend payers. However, investors should carefully examine the fund's concentrated holdings and expense structure before committing capital. KBWD generates income through dividend distributions from its underlying holdings, not through options strategies like JEPI."
"AGNC Investment Corp ( NASDAQ:AGNC) declared a $0.36 per share quarterly dividend in Q3 2025, yielding 13.70% annually. The company operates a $90.8 billion agency MBS portfolio with $903 million in revenue and $764 million in net income for Q3. Book value reached $8.83 per share, up 6.0% to $8.28 in the quarter. However, 1.2% of the portfolio remains on non-accrual status."
"Annaly Capital Management ( NYSE:NLY) paid $0.70 per share in Q3 2025, generating an 8.1% economic return for the quarter and 11.5% year-to-date.

The company operates with 7.1x GAAP leverage and 5.7x economic leverage."
KBWD focuses exclusively on financial-sector dividend payers and generates income through dividend distributions rather than options strategies used by JEPI. The fund concentrates heavily in mortgage REITs and business development companies, producing elevated yield and elevated risk for income-seeking investors. Top holdings include ARMOUR Residential REIT, which declared a $0.24 monthly dividend and reported $194.5 million in revenue and $159.3 million in net income for Q3 2025. AGNC declared $0.36 quarterly, yielding 13.70% with a $90.8 billion agency MBS portfolio. Annaly paid $0.70 in Q3 and manages a $97.8 billion portfolio with notable leverage.
