VIG

The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) holds primarily U.S. large‑cap common stocks, with more than 95 % of its assets invested in American companies and a small remainder in a few offshore holdings. It tracks the S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index and uses a passive, full‑replication approach to select firms that have increased their dividends for at least ten consecutive years, resulting in a sector tilt toward technology, financials, healthcare and industrials. The fund’s strategy seeks a blend of modest dividend income and long‑term capital appreciation by focusing on financially stable companies with a history of dividend growth. This makes VIG suitable for investors who want a low‑cost, diversified core exposure to quality dividend‑growing large‑cap equities as part of a growth‑oriented, income‑supplementing portfolio.
