Is the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF a Buy Now?
If you're looking for an easy way to invest, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are a good option. These investments combine a selection of stocks into one ticker, making it a simple way to get exposure to a group of stocks that track an index or follow another theme like a sector, region, or investing style.
S&P 500 index funds are among the most popular ETFs and for good reason. The S&P 500, which invests in 500 of the top U.S.-listed companies, as chosen by S&P Global, has a long track record of delivering results and has even outperformed most hedge funds.
However, dividend investors may be disappointed with the S&P 500's current dividend yield at just 1.1%, which is around an all-time low for the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, which began in 1993.
