Boosting Passive Income with ETFs: Top Picks for 2026

Investor plans to add three income-focused ETFs to their portfolio: Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD), JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI), and State Street SPDR Portfolio High Yield Bond ETF (SPHY). These ETFs will enhance their passive income in 2026. The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF holds 100 top high-yield dividend stocks with a distribution yield of 3.9% and a five-year dividend growth rate of over 8%. The JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF generates passive income from writing out-of-the-money call options on the S&P 500.
