Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF

Consistency, not headline yield, is what VIG rewards. The fund tracks the S&P US Dividend Growers Index, which holds companies that have raised their dividends for at least ten straight years and then screens out the very highest yielders to steer clear of firms in distress. What remains is a portfolio of durable, cash-generative businesses, the kind that keep hiking payouts through cycles, weighted by market value. Vanguard runs it at rock-bottom cost, one reason it ranks among the largest dividend ETFs in the country. The appeal is quality more than income: current yield is modest, but a rising-dividend screen tends to capture financially healthy companies and cushion drawdowns in rough markets. Investors hold it as a core US-equity position with a defensive tilt. The expense ratio is just 0.05%.
