With the onset of the June bond ETF dividend payment wave in the first week, four monthly dividend investment-grade bond ETFs have announced their estimated dividends, set to be paid out this week. According to the announced figures, these four ETFs have an average annualized yield of 6%, with those based on BBB-rated corporate bonds showing the most impressive performance. The top three dividend payers include Shin Kong BBB Investment Grade Bond 20+ (00970B), KGI A-rated Corporate Bond (00950B), and Dahua Investment Grade U.S. Bond 15Y+ (00959B), all exceeding an annualized yield of 6.7%, the highest reaching 7.4%.

Market analysts pointed out that the recent new wave of tariffs and tax reform policies introduced by Trump has caused significant fluctuations in U.S. bond yields. However, the high dividend and consistently stable income offered by investment-grade bond ETFs have become increasingly favored by investors. Especially amidst increased volatility in the bond market, the number of beneficiaries of these stable dividend ETFs continues to grow, reflecting a preference for stable income strategies. Manager Liu Hengzhi of Shin Kong 00970B noted that although short-term dollar assets are facing pressure, tax reform should help improve corporate profitability in the medium to long term, which could be beneficial for investment-grade corporate bonds. Particularly during price corrections, it presents a good opportunity for medium to long-term investors and bondholders to position themselves.

According to statistics from the Central Securities Depository, since the beginning of this year, the number of beneficiaries of long-term U.S. Treasury ETFs has decreased the most, while interest in non-investment-grade and investment-grade bond ETFs has grown counter-cyclically. Observing the changes in April and May following the commencement of Trump's tariff war, BBB-grade ETFs like Shin Kong 00970B and Yuanta 00968B, which emphasize stable dividends, saw beneficiary numbers rise by 967 and 273 respectively, both making it into the top ten growth in beneficiaries, indicating a clear trend of market funds gravitating towards products that offer consistent and high-quality yields.
