VanEck’s Top 10 Income ETFs Ranked by ETF Yields

11 March 2026

Read Time 2 MIN

Today’s market environment is pushing investors to look beyond traditional fixed income for higher yield. VanEck’s income-focused ETFs provide access across asset classes.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mortgage REITs remain the highest-yielding segment in the lineup. MORT leads the rankings at 12.67%, continuing to capture spreads between income and borrowing costs in a differentiated way.
  • Business development companies (BDCs) continue to offer compelling income. BIZD, near the top of the grid yielding 9.26%, provides access to private-credit-like income through public markets.
  • Fallen angels remain competitive within high yield. ANGL, yielding 6.13%, offers exposure to downgraded investment-grade bonds, historically a segment that has combined attractive income with improving credit profiles.
  • Emerging markets debt remains well represented across hard and local currency exposure. EMBX (5.42%) and EMLC (5.85%) provide diversified EM bond exposure, offering yield opportunities beyond U.S. markets.
