"Over the past year, the dividend yield of 8.34% and $4.75 in dividends per share made it a dynamo in every sense of the word. While the fund itself is only up 5.24% year-to-date and 4.34% over the last year, the real win for JEPI owners is with the dividend. The fund itself was launched in May 2020 and trades on the New York Stock Exchange, with a focus on US equities as the bulk of its holdings."
"Unlike some other ETFs that offer similarly high dividend yields, the promise of JEPI is that your downside is protected thanks to balanced sector weightings as of October 2025: Technology: 19.83% Healthcare: 13.84% Financial Services: 13.82% Industrials: 13.03% Consumer Cyclical: 10.78% Consumer Defense: 8.37% Communication Services: 7.70% Utilities: 5.16% Real Estate: 3.39% Energy: 2.21% Basic Materials: 1.87% Within these sectors, JEPI offers a who's who of names that are helping to drive overall market performance right now. NVIDIA is unsurprisingly the top dog in JEPI, holding around 1.69% of the total portfolio, and the same is true for AbbVie, which offers a similar 1.69% of the portfolio."
Market uncertainty persists due to global trade tensions, economic variability, job-market red flags, and potential 2026 global slowdown as tariffs take effect. High-yield ETFs provide a route to maintain cash flow through dividends, attracting retail investors seeking passive monthly income. JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI) delivered an 8.34% dividend yield and $4.75 in dividends per share over the past year, while posting modest capital gains year-to-date (5.24%) and over the last year (4.34%). JEPI launched in May 2020, trades on the NYSE, focuses on U.S. equities, and maintains balanced sector weightings.
