VYM Is A Good Option Depending On Your Desired Strategy - Hold
Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM) is a diversified, large-cap fund offering consistent income and growth, but currently rated as a hold. VYM outperforms its peer group in total returns over 1 and 5 years and boasts the lowest expense ratio at 0.06%. Despite strong performance, VYM's dividend yield and growth lag both the ETF median and most peers, raising concerns for income-focused investors.

VYM: A Potential Rate Cut Loser (Rating Downgrade)
VYM has delivered strong 1-year performance and offers long-term dividend growth, but its heavy financial sector exposure is concerning as rate cuts loom. I am downgrading VYM from a buy to hold due to the risk that falling federal fund rates will hurt banks and financials, dragging down the ETF's NAV returns. While VYM has solid historical NAV growth, SCHD has outperformed it and offers better sector diversification, especially less exposure to the financial sector.
VYM: Reassessing After A Successful Three Months (Rating Downgrade)
The S&P 500 looks historically expensive, trading at over 30x earnings, making future returns riskier for investors. Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF Shares offers a more reasonable valuation, with a 20x P/E and a 5% earnings yield, compared to the overheated broader market. While VYM's yield is below treasuries, its dividend growth and stability provide a buoy against market volatility for long-term investors.
