New: Growing Vanguard’s dividend ETF lineup
Our newest ETFs extend Vanguard’s leading dividend range, giving Canadian investors more choice in both dividend yield and growth.
Why dividend investing?
Income and total return
Dividends contribute meaningfully to long‑term equity returns and can be a steady source of income alongside capital appreciation.
Reduced volatility and downside mitigation
Historically, dividend‑paying stocks have tended to be less volatile than non‑dividend payers and may help cushion portfolios during market drawdowns.
The power of compounding
When reinvested, dividends can accelerate long‑term growth by increasing the number of shares held, compounding over time.
Dividend solutions for every need
Vanguard’s dividend solutions are designed to help investors generate income and offer the potential for improved returns. With a broad lineup spanning Canadian, U.S., and global markets our dividend range offers high-quality, low‑cost building blocks for income‑focused portfolios.
Dividend yield vs dividend growth
Understand the difference between these types of strategies
Dividend yield focuses on generating higher income today, often from more mature companies—but that income can be more sensitive to market cycles.
Dividend growth focuses on companies that consistently increase dividends, supporting more durable income and stronger long-term outcomes.
