Three Vanguard ETFs—Consumer Staples (VDC), Health Care (VHT), and Utilities (VPU)—offer retirees stable dividend income from essential sectors like groceries, medicine, and electricity. Each has the same low expense ratio but different risk profiles and returns: Health Care leads in long-term growth, Utilities pay the highest dividends but are sensitive to interest rates, and Consumer Staples provide steady payouts with lower growth. These funds have historically outperformed the market during downturns but still face sector-specific risks, making them suitable as part of a diversified retirement portfolio alongside other income sources.
