Vanguard International Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIGI) Research

This exchange-traded fund (ETF) is designed to mirror the investment returns of the S&P Global Ex-U.S. Dividend Growers Index. It employs a passively managed, full-replication approach, ensuring the fund remains fully invested in its benchmark constituents. The portfolio emphasizes large-capitalization equities from developed and emerging markets outside the United States that have a proven history of year-over-year dividend growth. Its low operating expenses are instrumental in minimizing the net difference between its performance and the index's. For 75% of its total assets, the fund adheres to specific concentration rules: it generally avoids acquiring more than 10% of any single issuer's voting shares or allocating over 5% of its assets to any one issuer, though exceptions can be made to closely match the target index's composition. These particular restrictions do not apply to investments in U.S. government-backed securities.
