VIGI's focus on dividend growth leads to sector and geographic concentration, resulting in higher volatility and less diversification than LVHI. The fund consistently lags LVHI in total returns, Sharpe ratio, and drawdown, making LVHI a superior choice for conservative income investors.

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Foreign Large Blend ETF category of the market, the Vanguard International Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIGI) is a smart beta exchange traded fund launched on 03/03/2016.

The search for top dividend ETFs is always on, particularly for investors who don't have the time or energy to invest in researching hundreds or thousands of potential options in this universe.

International diversification is gaining traction as foreign equities outperform, but foreign growth ETFs remain underappreciated due to recent underperformance versus value. VIGI, while classified as a growth ETF, leans more toward value/blend through its focus on high-quality, dividend-growing stocks, offering lower volatility and defensive characteristics. EFG provides pure developed market growth exposure with higher volatility and no emerging market allocation, but comes at a higher expense ratio/turnover than VIGI.

Exchange Traded Funds have become a popular investment vehicle for investors, with high dividend ETFs especially appealing due to low costs and index tracking.
