#6 - Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (NASDAQ:VYMI)
Lower interest rates make some fixed-income investments less attractive. It’s also when savvy investors may pivot towards high-yield dividend stocks. Many investors prefer to keep their trading portfolio into growth stocks but may use an ETF for retirement savings.
The Vanguard International High Dividend Yield (NASDAQ: VYMI) is an attractive choice. Not only do you get a dividend yield of 4.40%, but you also get international exposure which can be important to a diversified portfolio.
The fund is up 8% in 2024, with much of that growth occurring in the last six months. That correlates with the sector rotation away from technology stocks and has pushed the VYMI near its 52-week high.
But while you don’t want to overpay for any asset, the reason to own a high dividend yield ETF is for passive income. One thing that may be off-putting to some investors is that the fund is heavily weighted in banks and financial stocks.
