A new income category is drawing serious money - here's why (Ad)

Forbes recently called a new category of exchange-traded income funds a 'golden era,' and Bloomberg noted the eye-popping yields are fueling a boom among everyday investors. Three years ago, barely a dozen of these funds existed - today there are more than 100, holding over $140 billion. These funds trade on the NYSE and NASDAQ and are built to generate monthly income. Some investors are targeting $5,000 a month with roughly one-tenth of the nest egg Wall Street says you need.tc pixel
