The Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund (VYM) tracks a benchmark of U.S. common stocks characterized by higher-than-average dividend yields. The fund maintains a mandate to invest at least 80% of its total assets in the constituent stocks of its target index, focusing primarily on large-capitalization value companies.
Notably, the fund’s methodology excludes Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), which often carry different tax structures and payout requirements than standard corporations. By focusing on traditional equities, the portfolio gains significant exposure to mature sectors such as Financials and Consumer Staples that prioritize returning capital to shareholders through consistent cash distributions.
