About the Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund (VYM)

VYM aims to match the performance of the FTSE® High Dividend Yield Index, which measures the investment return of a select group of stocks with high dividend yields.

The manager employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the index, which consists of common stocks of companies that pay dividends that generally are higher than average. The adviser attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of the fund’s assets in the stocks that make up the index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index.

Visit the Vanguard website for the latest authoritative information about the ETF.

VYM is a good option for investors who do not want to conduct the research required to select individual stocks but want to own a pool of high-yield dividend growth stocks. 

Active investors who own individual stocks can supplement their research with tools such as the Sure Dividend Newsletter, which offers subscribers ten dividend growth stock picks to subscribers every month.
