About VIG
Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of U.S. companies with a strong record of raising dividends over time. The fund focuses on large-cap and established businesses that have increased their annual dividends for at least 10 consecutive years, using an index-based approach designed to emphasize dividend growth rather than high current yield. Its holdings are concentrated in sectors such as technology, healthcare, industrials, and consumer staples, giving investors broad exposure to profitable, financially durable companies across the U.S. equity market. Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF is used by market participants as a core equity allocation for income-oriented portfolios that prioritize dividend consistency and long-term cash flow growth.
