About Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index Fund ETF Shares (VIG)

The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index Fund ETF Shares (VIG) is an exchange-traded fund that aims to track the performance of the Dividend Achievers Select Index. This index consists of stocks of large-cap companies with a history of increasing their dividends over time. VIG provides investors with exposure to companies that have a strong track record of dividend growth, which can be an attractive feature for income-focused investors. The fund has a low expense ratio, making it a cost-effective option for long-term investors.

VIG offers investors the opportunity to participate in the potential capital appreciation of these dividend-growing companies, while also providing a steady stream of income through the regular dividend payments. The fund holds a diversified portfolio of stocks across various sectors, including technology, healthcare, consumer staples, and industrials. By investing in a broad range of dividend-paying companies, VIG seeks to minimize the impact of any single stock or sector on the overall performance of the fund.
