About this fund

Fund objectives

Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of common stocks of companies that have a record of increasing dividends over time.

Why this fund

  • Seeks to track the performance of the S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index.
  • Passively managed, full-replication approach.
  • Fund remains fully invested.
  • Large-cap equity, emphasizing stocks with a record of growing their dividends year over year.
  • Low expenses minimize net tracking error.

With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may not: (1) purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or (2) purchase securities of any issuer if, as a result, more than 5% of the fund’s total assets would be invested in that issuer’s securities; except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index. This limitation does not apply to obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities.
