VYM: Dividend ETF Full Of Stocks I Don't Want To Own (Technical Analysis)

The Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF is high-risk, with over 500 stocks, making it difficult to generate alpha.

VYM: Quality Income Doesn't Have To Have A High Yield
Despite VYM's lower yield, I am bullish on its blend of dividend growth and capital appreciation, outperforming many high-yield ETFs. VYM has appreciated 17% in the past year, with a total return of 20.60%, surpassing high-yield ETFs like JEPI and XYLD. The risks include opportunity cost and macroeconomic factors, but VYM's strong portfolio and dividend growth history make it a strategic investment.
