The Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM) aims to mirror the investment returns of the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index. This benchmark is composed of common stocks from companies renowned for their generous dividend payouts. VYM offers investors a straightforward way to gain exposure to equities expected to deliver higher-than-average dividend income. The fund adheres to a passively managed, full-replication strategy, meaning it seeks to hold all the securities found within its target index.
Distribution yield and SEC yield use different methodologies. Payouts may include income, capital gains, or return of capital.
