Dividend Index Funds

Index funds generally don’t try to beat the market by opportunistically buying or selling securities. Rather, they simply invest the assets of the fund or ETF to mirror the construction of an index (such as the S&P 500), giving investors a way to gain exposure to a specific part of the markets. Index funds generally have lover relative costs compared with actively managed offerings. Here, we highlight those funds and ETFs that focus on companies that typically pay a dividend. Historically, dividends have accounted for a material portion of a stock’s total return.
