3 Simple ETFs Worth Buying and Holding for Decades

Tech and AI stocks are hot right now, but dividend payers are built for the long-term.

Investors seeking long-term stability and consistent returns may want to consider adding dividend-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to their portfolios, rather than solely focusing on tech stocks. While tech stocks have outperformed the market in recent years, dividend ETFs offer a more durable and reliable investment option.

These funds invest in companies with a track record of strong profit growth, solid cash flows, and a history of increasing dividends to shareholders. During times of market volatility or declining markets, dividend ETFs tend to hold up better than other types of investments. In 2026, several dividend ETFs are currently outperforming the S&P 500 amid growing concerns about inflation, geopolitical risks, and government deficits. This makes now an ideal time to include these ETFs in a long-term investment strategy.
