State Street’s HYBL offers a 7.2% yield, while SPYD tracks top dividend-yielding S&P 500 stocks with a 4.43% yield.

HYBL, with $545 million in assets, provides a 7.2% yield and stable income. Top holdings include State Street Blackstone Senior Loan ETF and JetBlue Airways Corp. HYBL’s strategy focuses on generating high income while managing volatility with diverse investments in corporate bonds and loans.

SPYD, managing $7.4 billion in assets, offers a 4.43% yield from top dividend-yielding S&P 500 companies.
