Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG)

dividend-growth quarterly-dividends

Focuses on companies with a history of increasing their dividends year over year. This strategy tends to favor well-established, financially sound corporations, often resulting in a portfolio tilted towards quality growth stocks. Since its inception in 2006, VIG has garnered attention for its potential to deliver both steady income and capital appreciation. While it may lag in bull markets dominated by high-growth tech stocks, its emphasis on dividend sustainability often provides a cushion during economic downturns, appealing to more conservative investors.
