About VDIGX
This fund is designed to provide investors with income by investing in companies across all sectors that focus on paying dividends. It prioritizes high-quality businesses that demonstrate both the capacity and the commitment to consistently increase their dividend payouts over time. However, potential investors should be aware of certain risks. There's a chance that the returns from dividend-paying stocks might underperform the overall stock market during different periods. Additionally, the fund's full exposure to the equity market means it is subject to market volatility. This fund could be a suitable option for an investor with a well-diversified, long-term portfolio who is looking to add dividend-focused companies. It's important to note that the Vanguard Dividend Growth Fund is a distinct product, separate from the Vanguard Wellington Dividend Growth Active ETF (VDIG). Due to differences in their size, portfolio management strategies (e.g., active management versus index tracking), investment processes, and underlying holdings, these funds are expected to generate different investment returns.
Performance
VDIGX had a total return of 9.11% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 9.27%.
