When you re retired, having a steady stream of passive income is essential. Those Social Security checks don t stretch very far on their own. That s why dividend-paying stocks are popular with retired investors. But diversification is essential. Dividend payments aren t guaranteed. A company s board can always suspend dividends when times get tough.
A good solution is to invest in dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Because you re spreading out your investment across many different companies, your income isn t at risk if one company decides not to pay a dividend. Here are three dividend ETFs that could make your retirement a lot more comfortable.

Dividend stocks can be a smart addition to your portfolio, as they provide long-term earning potential as well as a source of passive income.
However, choosing dividend stocks can be challenging. Investing in individual stocks requires a substantial amount of research, and it’s often expensive as well.
If you’re looking for a less research-intensive approach, investing in a dividend ETF may be your best bet. Each ETF can contain hundreds of different stocks, which instantly diversifies your portfolio and limits your risk. There are many dividend ETFs to choose from, but these three Vanguard powerhouses are a great place to start.
