# Yield Hunters, Meet ZINC And PRIZ: Zacks Launches New ETFs Targeting 8% Income

**Zacks Investment Management** has launched two actively managed income-focused ETFs: the **Zacks Income ETF (NYSE:ZINC)** and the **Zacks Preferred Income ETF (NYSE:PRIZ)**. The new offerings mark the firm's first dedicated income strategies and are designed to provide investors with consistent distributions through Zacks' proprietary research-driven investment process.

The launch comes as income-oriented products continue to attract investor interest amid elevated market volatility and demand for portfolio diversification. According to CEO **Mitch Zacks**, the new funds extend the firm's earnings-based investment methodology into income-generating portfolios, emphasizing fundamental analysis and disciplined security selection. 

### Key Features Of The New ETFs

**ZINC**

-   Seeks to provide current income alongside long-term capital appreciation.
-   Uses a proprietary strategy to identify companies with potentially high income and attractive risk-return characteristics.
-   Evaluates factors including:
    -   Dividend yield
    -   Valuation
    -   Price momentum
    -   Earnings momentum
    -   Earnings quality

**PRIZ**

-   Seeks to generate current income.
-   Invests primarily in preferred securities, including:
    -   Preferred stock
    -   Junior subordinated debt
-   Employs quantitative and qualitative analysis to identify high-quality preferred securities with elevated levels of tax-advantaged income.
-   Expense ratio: 0.45%

**Shared Strategy Characteristics**

-   Both funds target an **8% annual distribution yield**.
-   Distributions are supported through:
    -   Dividend income
    -   Interest income
    -   Return of capital, when necessary, to help maintain distribution levels across market environments.
-   Avoid the use of options-based income strategies and other complex yield-enhancing structures.

The launches further expand Zacks Investment Management's active ETF platform, which includes the **Zacks Earnings Consistent Portfolio ETF (BATS:ZECP)** launched in 2021, the **Zacks Small and Mid Cap ETF (NYSE:SMIZ)** in 2023, the **Zacks Focus Growth ETF (BATS:GROZ)** in 2024, and the **Zacks Quality International ETF (NYSE:QUIZ)** in 2025.
