The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG-N) has received mixed reviews from experts, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. One expert commends the ETF's performance compared to others, particularly noting its focus on companies with a history of increasing dividends. This aspect is emphasized as crucial for investors seeking reliable income streams. However, another expert expresses concern over the ETF's relatively high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 25x, suggesting that investors should exercise caution before entering the market, especially given broader market conditions that appear to be expensive. Overall, while the ETF is seen as a solid investment for dividend growth, analysts recommend patience in waiting for potential market corrections before making a move.
(A Top Pick Dec 12/13. Up 15.06%.) This is a dividend appreciation fund in the US. These are big, old, well-established companies that have a long record of increasing their dividends.

He sees the US market as offering specific opportunities at specific times. The dividend appreciation is one that he has used extensively with his clients who want exposure. A very high quality company. Well diversified and quite a conservative portfolio. A good place to have a piece of the US market. Yield of 2.45%.
David Cockfield(A Top Pick June 7/13. Up 14.67%.) These are people that increase their dividend on a regular basis. Yield is not that high, but the names in the list are all very good, long-standing dividend payers in the US.
David Cockfield(His 3 Picks are all ETFs and a good way for the average investor to get into some part of the market with a fair amount of safety and diversification.) A good way to participate in the US market. Thinks the US market is going to continue to make good headway. This consists of companies that have shown a good ability and the desire to increase their dividends on a regular basis.
David CockfieldThis gives you an entrée into the US market with a lot of the big stocks that have shown a tendency to increase their dividends. Low yielder, but a good hold. Good diversification.
