VYM: Lagging Dividend Peers, Market Indexes, Sell This ETF
Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund is rated a 'Sell' due to its lack of tech exposure and underperformance compared to peers. VYM's 2.93% dividend yield and 148% appreciation since inception are overshadowed by better-performing ETFs like VOO and SCHD. The Fund's 9.1% tech sector weighting and slower dividend growth make it less attractive for both dividend and market ETF investors.
