VIG

The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) invests in U.S. large‑cap equity securities of companies that have increased their dividends for at least ten consecutive years, covering a broad range of sectors such as information technology, financials, health care, industrials and consumer staples. It follows a passive, full‑replication approach to the S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index (formerly the MSCI US Dividend Achievers Select Index), weighting holdings in proportion to their index weights. The fund’s focus on dividend‑growth stocks makes it a fit for investors who want a blend of potential income and capital appreciation, and who are comfortable with a long‑term, U.S.‑focused equity exposure.
