If you’re looking for healthy dividends to increase your cash flow and diversify your investments, look into dividend-paying exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Look at the JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Equity Income ETF (NASDAQ:JEPQ), for example.

With a yield of 9.26%, the upward-trending ETF generates income by selling options and by investing in U.S. large-cap growth stocks. All of which allows it to deliver a monthly income stream through options premiums and stock dividends. Even better, investors have also benefited from the ETF’s appreciation. In fact, since bottoming out at around $41 a share in November, the ETF rallied to a recent high of $55.27.

Still a solid investment with a solid dividend, it’s well worth the investment.

However, it’s not the only strong dividend-paying ETF worth buying. Here are five more.
