Pros

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF:

  • Steady Income Stream: Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM) is designed to provide investors with a reliable income flow through dividends from large-cap companies.
  • Lower Volatility: VYM has a beta of 0.74, indicating lower volatility compared to the overall market. This can provide stability and predictability to investors.
  • Attractive Dividend Yield: VYM has a trailing-12-month dividend of $3.34, yielding 3.06% on the current price. The fund has a four-year average yield of 3.11%. Its dividend payouts have increased at 4.1% and 6.1% CAGRs over the past three and five years, respectively.

Cons

Investors should be bearish about investing in Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF for these reasons:

  • Inflation Concerns: Despite easing, inflation is still above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. This could affect the purchasing power of dividends received from VYM.

  • Downside Risk: While VYM aims to provide a steady income stream, there is still a risk of capital loss due to market fluctuations.
  • Dependence on Large-Cap Companies: VYM primarily invests in large-cap companies, which may limit the potential for significant capital appreciation compared to investments in smaller companies with higher growth potential.
