Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF VYM
Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF is an ETF by Vanguard that Neto can track by its ticker (VYM). Here are the product facts as published by the Financial Times, its performance over the last year and how to see it inside your net worth.
What Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF is
Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF is an ETF (exchange-traded fund) managed by Vanguard, classified by Morningstar as Large Value and domiciled in United States. It was launched on 10 November 2006. It is listed on NYSE Arca in USD under the ticker VYM, ISIN VYM.
It doesn't fit any of the index families in the catalogue, so it is tracked on its own benchmark.
Stated objective, as published by Financial Times:
The investment seeks to track the performance of the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index that measures the investment return of common stocks of companies that are characterized by high dividend yield. The fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the the Target Index, which consists of common stocks of companies that pay dividends that generally are higher than average (excluding real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)). Under normal circumstances, it invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in the stocks that make up the Target Index.
