VIG: Dividend Growth Focus with Tech Tilt

26 days ago

Mark Rousen

"Beginning with our first ETF, which is going to be VIG or the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF. And as you can imagine in the name here, this is an ETF that's focused on not only companies that pay regular dividends, but many of them paying growing dividends. Over the past 12 months, shares of VIG have climbed 12.6% much more respectable than SCHD, which has been relatively flat. They take an approach of focusing more on those technology type stocks, hence the outperformance we've seen in VIG."

The speaker explains that VIG emphasizes companies with consistent and growing dividends, supported by a heavier allocation to technology stocks. This structure has resulted in a stronger performance compared to SCHD over the past 12 months.
