Resolute Capital's video: Vanguard Dividend Growth Fund VDIGX Our Thoughts on it

Today I want to discuss an alternative dividend investing strategy, specifically a vanguard dividend fun called VDIGX… Let’s Get into it!

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CONSULT WITH A PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL ADVISOR BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISIONS WITH YOUR MONEY If you are interested in dividend investing, you are most likely looking for stocks and funds with high dividend yields. The Vanguard Dividend Growth Fund (VDIGX), on the other hand, is focused on dividend growth. This is an actively managed fund (with low fees), that is filled with companies who might not have the highest dividend yields, but have consistent dividend growth. The fund’s manager has built a portfolio of 40-50 stocks of mature companies with strong competitive advantages and signs of continued dividend growth. Why should you invest in a fund like this instead of the current highest-yielding dividend funds? VDIGX has a track record of out-performing competitors when the market is shaky. In the ’08-’09 recession, and the various market dips since, including the near bear market at the end of 2018, VDIGX performed significantly better than many dividend-focused competitors and the S&P 500 as a whole in minimizing loss. Also, one of the best signs of a healthy company and its ability to add value that lasts is a growing dividend. Investing in companies that are committed to sharing earnings with shareholders and increasing this overtime are often the most solid long-term investments in the first place. Not to mention, as the dividend for some of these companies grows, it will soon be paying similar dividends to some of the top-yielding companies. Overall, dividend growth is a better mark of health than simply a high dividend. For some companies, high-yielding dividends could be a warning sign for a "too good to be true" investment. Sometimes, these companies currently offer high dividends but are forced to cut back significantly to cover other liabilities. While this is not always the case, an investing strategy focused on dividend growth instead can help avoid these dividend traps and narrow in on actually healthy companies with growing dividends. VDIGX is just one option for dividend growth focused funds. While this may not be the type of fund to serve as the primary component of your portfolio, it could be a good option as a cushion against drops in the stock market. Typically, the companies that make up this fund are strong, steady companies that can weather storms better than most. Often times, these companies function as good options for both dividend investing and capital gains investing.
