The speaker suggests VIG as an alternative or addition to SCHD for dividend investors who desire more tech exposure. While it offers a lower yield than SCHD, it provides dividend growth and a less volatile, more conservative approach with tech sector participation.
The speaker suggests VIG as an alternative or addition to SCHD for dividend investors who desire more tech exposure. While it offers a lower yield than SCHD, it provides dividend growth and a less volatile, more conservative approach with tech sector participation.
“Both of them are are similar in many respects, but what they're going to offer you that SCHD doesn't is going to be that tech heavy higher exposure rate.”
The YouTuber suggests VIG as a complementary fund to VOO, noting its recently cut expense ratio of 0.05%. He emphasizes its focus on companies with a history of increasing dividends, offering a higher dividend yield and more safety, especially during recessions, despite a slightly slower growth profile. The fund's low fees provide substantial savings compared to similar dividend growth ETFs.
“This one holds shares of 337 companies with a history of increasing their dividend payments every year and while you see some of those big Tech names here you've also got a lot of others like Exxon visa and Costco.”
The YouTuber recommends avoiding VIG, arguing that its low 1.7% yield no longer qualifies it as a true dividend fund. He points out that the underlying companies' earnings and sales growth are too low to sustain the historical dividend growth, making the fund unsuitable for dividend investors.
“at just a 1.7% yield you've got to be asking yourself is this still even a dividend fund because it's not in my book”
The YouTuber advises avoiding VIG due to its low dividend yield of 1.7%, which is deemed insufficient. He also points out that the fund's underlying companies have low earnings and sales growth, making the 10% dividend growth unsustainable. Furthermore, the fund's stocks are trading at an expensive price-to-earnings ratio of over 30 times.
“first off you're not paying the bills on that 1.7% dividend yield in fact it's hard to call it a dividend fund at this point”
The YouTuber recommends VIG as a safer dividend stock investment, noting its focus on older, more stable companies with consistent cash flows. It offers a 1.8% dividend yield and has historically shown less volatility than the broader market during crashes, while still providing an 11.6% annual total return over the last decade.
“The Vanguard dividend appreciation fund with its 1.8% dividend yield has provided an 11.6% total return annually over the last decade.”
The YouTuber notes that VIG has a very low dividend yield (1.8%) which he considers barely a dividend, making it less suitable for income-focused investors. While it offers strong price appreciation and a low expense ratio, he questions its inclusion in a dividend ETF discussion given the minimal income component.
“I like the fund but it's not a competitive dividend and I can get similar returns and others on the list”
The YouTuber recommends prioritizing high-yield investments like VIG for retirement accounts (401k/IRA) to defer taxes on dividend distributions. He demonstrates how placing such funds in tax-advantaged accounts can save thousands in taxes over a lifetime, allowing for greater compounding of returns.
“you would want to do it with the vanguard dividend fund because that's paying that higher income”
The YouTuber suggests VIG for investors seeking stability and consistent dividend growth from US companies. He highlights its focus on companies with a long history of increasing dividends, providing a diversified portfolio of mature, stable businesses like Microsoft and JPMorgan.
“this is going to be a great investment for those that want that stability of dividend growers and the u.s market”
The YouTuber advocates for dividend investing, specifically mentioning the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) for its 15% annualized return. He highlights that dividends provide positive cash returns even when the market is down and that dividend stocks are less volatile, especially during recessions.
“on that 15 annualized return to dividend stocks in the vanguard dividend appreciation etf that sticker vig and investing a thousand dollars a month you drop the time it takes to become a millionaire down to just 18 years”
