Simplify Gold Strategy PLUS Income ETF Price & Performance (YGLD)

High-dividend-yield exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are gaining attention amid ongoing tariff and geopolitical risks. Funds like the Simplify U.S. Equity PLUS QIS ETF (SPQ) and iShares Transition-Enabling Metals ETF (TMET) are offering annual yields above 25%, presenting opportunities for passive income seekers. However, higher yields come with associated risks, including market volatility.1

Canadian investors are gravitating towards all-in-one ETFs like Vanguard All-Equity ETF Portfolio (VEQT) and BMO All-Equity ETF (ZEQT). These funds provide global diversification and automatic rebalancing while catering to varying risk tolerances. VEQT emphasizes international exposure, whereas ZEQT leans towards North American equities, making them versatile options for portfolio growth.2

Cryptocurrency-focused ETFs are becoming increasingly popular among investors seeking exposure to digital assets. These funds, such as the Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF, offer a structured way to invest in cryptocurrencies while mitigating some risks. However, they remain subject to high volatility and regulatory uncertainties, which investors should consider carefully.3
