Beating the market and providing above-market income are two things that don't always go together, but that's the case with these three ETFs in 2024. These funds are beating out the just over 23% return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust NYSEARCA: SPY, which tracks the S&P 500 and provides dividend income above its 1.2% yield.

TDIV invests in technology dividend stocks, offering a 1.6% yield but underperforming other tech funds due to its tilt towards value. The fund's portfolio is heavily weighted towards large-cap value stocks, which are more stable but have weaker growth profiles. While TDIV has a history of growing dividends, its total return lags behind other technology ETFs like Vanguard Information Technology ETF and Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF.

There are alternative dividend ETFs that offer a better dividend growth rate, such as SCHD.
