Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF rebalanced with low turnover, maintaining strong dividend growth and safety.

The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) recently reconstituted its index with just over 5% portfolio turnover, mainly trimming top-performing stocks like Broadcom. Despite a modest 1.71% yield, VIG stands out for its low payout ratios, high earnings growth, and a 12-year streak of dividend growth, highlighting its dividend safety and consistency. The ETF's low turnover supports its strong dividend growth investing (DGI) track record. It remains a solid hold compared to other dividend ETFs like SPY, SCHD, and VYM, reinforcing its appeal for investors seeking reliable dividend growth.
