The Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM) uses a passive indexing approach to track the performance of an underlying index composed of common stocks that pay above-average dividends. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are explicitly excluded from the index.
Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in the stocks that make up its target index. As an exchange-traded fund listed on the NYSE, VYM offers intraday trading and price transparency, distinguishing it from non-vice funds. Vanguard is widely recognized as one of the largest issuers of low-cost index-based ETFs, and large-cap value ETFs like VYM typically appeal to income-oriented investors seeking exposure to established dividend-paying companies.
