My name is Ian and I am a retail investor and trader. And like a lot of people I became VERY interested in the High-Yield Dividend Paying ETFs that are so popular now. When I realized you could buy your own income it was a game changer for me.

I started investing and getting dividends monthly and then weekly and then every other day. So many income funds to keep track of and to be honest, I was sick of the weekly scavenger hunt. To track down my income, I had to scour company websites, dig through email newsletters, doom-scroll on X just to find a simple distribution announcement. I realized that if I wasn't actively invested in a specific fund, I stopped paying attention to it. That meant I was constantly missing opportunities in the broader High-Yield ETF market because I couldn't see the full picture.

The Problem: "New Fund Fatigue" If you are like me, you are exhausted by the sheer volume of new funds hitting the market. Every week, there is a new strategy, a new ticker, and a new promise of 100% yields. It is impossible to keep up.

The Solution: The Master Distribution List. I started compiling all this data into a personal spreadsheet just to keep my own head above water. I wanted to monitor the performance, track the yields, and see the truth behind the marketing.

Then I realized: Why keep this to myself? I decided to make The Master Distribution List available to the public for free. And I created a Newsletter to share that data with the world.

My goal is simple: to compile every distribution from every fund in one place so you can see for yourself how each company and fund stacks up against the competition.

We are in the "Wild West" of income investing. My mission is to monitor, research, and track these funds to see which companies are actually doing it right—and which ones are eroding your capital. I don't believe all of these ETF companies will survive the next few years. But I intend to be the first one to find out who crumbles. I hope this data helps you navigate the chaos.
