Can you help me understand how the distributions of dividends work within an ETF structure? Does it work the same as a single stock where you see the dividend show up in your account? Apologies if the question is vague. If there are resources you can point me to to help that would be much appreciated. Best, Jason D4L,

However, my experience with them has shown they are more volatile with dividends moving up and down each quarter (more down than up lately). Currently, I prefer selecting good individual dividend stocks where the dividends are more stable and more likely to increase. Best Wishes, D4L Gina: ETF can work like a dividend stock.

Do ETF's generally increase their dividends like most stocks do? I’m new to dividend investing and would like to know whether ETF’s work as well as stocks when it comes to the increase in dividends.

I’ve been doing a lot of research into using this strategy. It looks like a very good conservative strategy. While you can "roll this yourself", it’s a lot of work. I have found 2 ways to have somebody else implement this for me. One is a service: http://www.swaninvesting.com/ and requires a large investment ($400K), and the other is a closed-end fund (traded on the NYSE): Eaton Vance Risk Managed Diversified (symbol: ETJ). Currently ETJ pays almost 10% dividends, which can be reinvested, but because it is a closed-end fund, it can trade either below, at, or above it’s Net Asset Value.
