Traders and investors can make money from an ETF by selling it at a higher price than what they bought it for. Investors could also receive dividends if they own an ETF that tracks dividend stocks. ETF providers make money mainly from the expense ratio of the funds they manage, as well as through transaction costs.

An ETF owns and manages a portfolio of assets. If those assets pay dividends or interest, the ETF distributes those payments to the ETF shareholders. Those distributions can take the form of reinvestments or cash. ETFs that position themselves as dividend funds generally opt for cash distributions over reinvestments.
