Key Facts on Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF

The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSEMKT: VIG), launched 20 years ago, has achieved an average annual return of over 10%. With a significant tech allocation of 28% and defensive sectors like healthcare and consumer staples at 25%, the fund aims for balanced growth and downside protection.

Investing $500 monthly for 20 years could grow to nearly $400,000, and $1.1 million over 30 years, assuming the same return rate. The fund’s top holdings include Broadcom, Apple, and Microsoft, which together represent 14% of its portfolio.

Despite its appeal, the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF wasn’t included in a recent recommendation of the top 10 stocks by the Motley Fool’s analyst team, which boasts an average return of 916%, outperforming the S&P 500 by significant margins.
