Monkey-brain ETFs: Dividend ETFs

:wink:

Couldn’t find VHYL on DivvyDiary, but VHYD seemed close enough. Seems to have had its inception in May 2013 only.

Great example of how high yield and dividend growth strategies (can) differ.

VHYD’s 2014[1] dividend was $1.98, its 2024 dividend was $2.09.
+5.56% total (over 11 years), +0.51% average p.a., +0.49% CAGR.

Goofy’s dividend growth portfolio produced, let’s called it 74 cents of cash flow in 2014 and about a dollar and 29 cents in 2024.
+74% total (over 11 years), +6.73% average p.a., +5.16% CAGR.

:laughing:


1   First full year for VHYD.
