VIG: Dividend Investors Should Be Careful (Rating Downgrade)

Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF is downgraded to Strong Sell due to underperformance versus  dividend-focused peers. VIG's heavy concentration in large-cap Technology and Financials poses downside risk if these sectors continue to lag or pull back. Despite low fees and strong five-year returns, VIG's low dividend yield and large-cap bias make alternatives like SMDV, PEY, and RSP more attractive.
