Investors seeking monthly dividends with moderate risk can consider three ETFs: iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT), Colterpoint Net Lease Real Estate ETF (NETL), and VanEck Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF (PFXF). Together, these ETFs yield an average of 5.19%, potentially generating $1,000 monthly from a $230,000 investment. TLT offers safety with 4.5% yield and upside potential during recessions, NETL provides steady rent income from long-term leases with a 4.69% yield, and PFXF delivers a higher 6.35% yield by excluding riskier financial preferred stocks. These options suit investors who want income without high equity risk and may also benefit from some capital appreciation.
