Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund Price & Performance (VYM)

The Vanguard Information Technology ETF has slid roughly 23% from its 52-week high, offering investors a chance to buy leading tech companies at prices not seen since before the AI surge of 2023. Despite recent volatility, its long-term returns remain robust, with a 10-year annualized gain near 19%.1

Vanguard’s Consumer Discretionary ETF has fallen 18% year-to-date, making it one of the worst performing sector funds. Heavy losses from Amazon and Tesla, which comprise over a third of the fund, have amplified the decline. Broader weakness across retail, travel, and apparel stocks has further pressured the sector.2

The Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF trades at $121.02, below key moving averages, signaling caution in the short term. However, technical analysis rates the fund a moderate buy, citing a score above its historic median and lower risk than usual. Investors remain watchful for further direction.3
