Description: VIG Dividend Appreciation Shares January 28, 2026
The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index Fund ETF (VIG) follows a pure-indexing strategy that seeks to mirror the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index, which is comprised of U.S. large-cap companies that have increased their dividends for at least ten consecutive years. The fund attempts to hold each constituent in roughly the same weight as the index, investing virtually all of its assets in those stocks to achieve near-identical performance.
As of the end of 2025, VIG reported an expense ratio of 0.06% and total assets under management of about $115 billion, making it one of the largest dividend-focused ETFs. The fund’s weighted average dividend yield sits near 1.9%, while the underlying index has delivered an average annual dividend-growth rate of roughly 6% over the past five years. Sector exposure is tilted toward industrials (≈ 22%) and consumer discretionary (≈ 20%), both of which have benefited from a resilient U.S. consumer base and a moderate interest-rate environment that supports corporate earnings and dividend sustainability.
