About VYM#
Objective: “Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF, an exchange-traded share class of Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of common stocks of companies that are characterized by high dividend yield.”
How it invests: “The Fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index (the “Target Index”), which consists of common stocks of companies that pay dividends that generally are higher than average (excluding real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)). Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in the stocks that make up the Target Index.”
Same portfolio as VHYAX (Mutual fund, 0.08% a year): VYM is another share class of the same fund, so what differs between them is the fee and how each is bought.

Estimated portfolio characteristics
Estimated by our own bottom-up analysis of the fund’s SEC-filed holdings; recomputed daily from public data.
Annualized returns (CAGR)#
Compound annual growth rate per holding period, total return (dividends reinvested), from weekly adjusted closes. Each column is anchored at the date under it; horizons the fund’s history can’t span are omitted.
Fund flows#
Net creations minus redemptions per period, from the fund’s SEC Form N-PORT filings (series-level: where a fund shares its portfolio with mutual-fund share classes, flows cover all classes combined). Quarterly filings publish with a ~60-day lag, so recent months appear as filings land. Flow data begins mid-2019 — Form N-PORT did not exist before then, for any fund.
