My updated Combined High-Yield Portfolio delivers a 21.04% average TTM yield, consistently outperforming SPY in total return across multiple periods. I emphasize a blend of high-yield ETFs—BANK:CA, UTES:CA, AMZP, NVHE.U, and NVII—balancing dividend growth, sector resilience, and global diversification. Covered call strategies on mega-cap growth stocks like AMZN and NVDA underpin both yield and sustainability, with selective exposure to Canadian financials and utilities.

With inflation and rising living costs, I recommend high-quality dividend ETFs to help offset expenses and build passive income. REX NVDA Growth & Income ETF offers weekly payouts and capital appreciation potential, but carries NAV erosion and short track record risks. SPDR SSGA US Equity Premium Income ETF provides monthly income, reasonable fees, and growth exposure, though its short history and variable distributions are risks.

It's been a great year for international equity ETF investors. Will it persist after Nvidia Q1 results?
