The fund seeks to provide exposure to U.S. companies that are forecast to pay above-average dividends, offering investors a diversified way to access income-generating equities.

The ETF primarily invests in large-cap U.S. stocks across a range of sectors, with holdings selected for their dividend characteristics rather than active stock-picking. Its portfolio typically includes companies from industries such as financials, healthcare, consumer staples, industrials, and technology, and it is managed by Vanguard, one of the largest asset management firms in the world.

Vanguard serves investors globally through a broad lineup of mutual funds and ETFs. VYM is intended for investors seeking long-term income and broad market exposure with the simplicity and diversification of an index-based fund.
