VYM

Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM) invests in a broad basket of U.S. large‑cap equities that rank among the highest dividend‑paying stocks, covering sectors such as financials, technology, healthcare, industrials, energy and consumer staples, with exposure limited to companies listed in the United States. The fund seeks to track the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index by weighting holdings according to market capitalisation and dividend yield, resulting in a diversified portfolio of over 600 stocks that distributes dividends quarterly. Its blend of income generation and equity growth makes it a suitable core holding for investors seeking regular dividend income, such as retirees or income‑focused savers, while still wanting broad exposure to the U.S. equity market.
