How does a 14% to 16% dividend yield in a single payment sound?
The stand-out is VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat (AUD Hedged) ETF (ASX: MHOT), which will pay $20.54 per unit.
That's not a typo.
Today, the MHOT ETF is $138.40 per unit, which means this next distribution, on its own, represents a 14.8% dividend yield.
Let's just take a moment to let that soak in.
Also paying a massive dividend this time around is VanEck Gold Miners ETF (ASX: GDX).
GDX ETF will pay $17.99 per unit.
At the time of writing, ASX GDX is $111.09 per unit, which means the next dividend represents a 16.2% yield.
Why are these payments so big?
In the case of MHOT, this next dividend is the fruits of mainly US companies with major competitive advantages (moats), benefiting from a record-high market, turbocharged by the US dollar's weakness against an ascendant Aussie dollar this year.
In the case of GDX, the dividend is the result of miners' supercharged earnings from a skyrocketing gold price over the past two years.
