Vanguard Wellington Dividend Growth Active ETF (VDIG)

Vanguard Wellington Dividend Growth Active ETF (VDIG) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that invests in stocks of companies with a record of, or potential for, increasing their dividends over time. Its focus is on financially strong, mostly large-cap companies that can sustain and grow their payouts.

Security selection is carried out by Wellington Management Company, the Boston-based investment firm that has long managed several Vanguard funds. The managers rely on fundamental research to identify high-quality businesses with durable competitive positions and sound balance sheets, seeking both rising income and long-term capital appreciation.

The fund is offered by The Vanguard Group as an ETF counterpart to its dividend growth investment approach.
