Vanguard Canada Adds Dividend Growth and Hedged Income ETFs

Vanguard Canada expanded its dividend ETF lineup with the launch of the Vanguard Developed ex-North America Dividend Appreciation Index ETF (VIGG) and the Vanguard U.S. High Dividend Yield Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) (VUDH). VIGG targets companies in developed markets outside Canada and the U.S. with a history of growing dividends, while VUDH focuses on high-yielding U.S. stocks and hedges currency exposure back to Canadian dollars. Both ETFs carry a 0.28% management fee and broaden Vanguard’s dividend offerings, giving Canadian investors additional tools for income generation, dividend growth, and reduced currency volatility.
