Loading VYM detail
VYM is a passive equity ETF built to track the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index by holding a broad set of U.S. companies expected to pay above-average dividends.
It screens by forecast dividends over the next 12 months, excludes REITs, and then weights holdings largely by market size (market-cap weighting), not by how high each dividend is.
The result is a conservative, diversified dividend tilt packaged in a low-fee index wrapper.
You own small slices of many big U.S. companies that are expected to pay relatively higher dividends. It avoids real estate REITs, so it’s more “regular companies” than property-focused stocks.
