About VIG

Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) pays quarterly dividends with a current yield of approximately 1.8%. As an exchange-traded fund, VIG holds a basket of dividend-paying stocks rather than a single company. That diversification reduces single-name risk but also means the yield reflects a blend of underlying companies — so dividend changes happen gradually rather than as one company's decision.
