3 High-Yield Vanguard Dividend ETFs for Retirement
For the past three years, investors have been loading up on the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), tech stocks, and the "Magnificent Seven." High-yield equity strategies haven't gotten a whole lot of interest, especially when the artificial intelligence (AI) boom is producing huge returns in semiconductor and other AI-adjacent areas of the market.
That has changed a bit as we kick off 2026. Tech has turned into only an average performer, while recent laggards, such as energy, materials, value, small-cap, and dividend stocks, have done very well. That's good news for income seekers and retirement investors, who have seen limited opportunities for outperformance lately but are suddenly looking at a more favorable environment now.
Vanguard has a number of intriguing ETFs that could fill in the high-yield slot in a retirement portfolio. Currently offering yields of up to 4%, here are three that deserve a look.
