The highest yielding single-stock income ETFs
The highest payer is rarely the fund a holder did best in. Cash paid and total return are different questions and both columns are here.

Where the marker sits left of the bar's end, the fund paid out more than it made.
Method
Yield here is cash paid: every distribution over the year, as a percent of the price at the start of it. It is not a return, and the price change sits beside it. These 71 funds write options on the shares of one company, and they are ranked against each other rather than against funds writing on something else, because those are not the same purchase. The ranking is the published field sorted, nothing else: no scoring, no weighting and no view on any fund. Every fund ETFIQ covers in this category is eligible, including funds that have closed, because leaving them out would flatter the category.
ETFIQ links to the documents behind every figure. It is not affiliated with any issuer, and a link is not an endorsement. A ranking is not a recommendation and no order on this site is an opinion. ETFIQ is an independent publisher, not an adviser.
