The Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE® High Dividend Yield Index, which measures the investment return of common stocks of companies characterized by high dividend yields.

The index tracks common stocks of U.S. companies that have paid above-average dividends for the previous 12 months, excluding REITs and the fund will hold all the stocks in the index in approximately the same weightings as in the index

The fund provides a convenient way to track the performance of stocks that are forecasted to have above-average dividend yields and follows a passively managed, full-replication approach

The top 20 VYM constituents - out of a total of 517 stocks held by the fund  -  of this theme are not weighted; performance and volatility are calculated for informative purpose only - assuming one share of each component had been invested at the beginning of the selected period
