SEUSBSEI QiM U.S. Equity Factor Allocation Active ETF

VYMAVanguard High Dividend Yield ETF

In short

SEUS No data

VYM The no-frills dividend workhorse. VYM buys the higher-yielding end of the US market, roughly 600 names, for four basis points: no quality screen, no dividend-growth-streak test, just yield, at scale since 2006.

Stated mandate

SEUS No data

VYM The Fund seeks to track a benchmark index measuring the investment return of common stocks from companies characterized by high dividend yields.

Why people hold it

SEUS No data

VYM Four basis points a year, against a peer-group median near 0.32%. Cheaper than cohort neighbors VONV (0.06%) and FNDX (0.25%).
Running since 2006 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, so ordinary orders tend to fill at tight spreads.
Simple mandate: track the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index of US common stocks screened on yield. No manager discretion, no options overlay, plain 1940-Act fund.vanguard.com
Pays quarterly, and among 100-plus value and multifactor rivals it stands as one of the strongest overall packages in the group.

Worth knowing

SEUS No data

VYM The screen is yield, not payout growth or dividend quality, so a company can qualify simply because its share price fell.
This is a value slice by design, tilted to established payers, so it behaves differently from a total US market fund.
Roughly 600 holdings, but weight leans toward the largest payers, so the top of the roster does more of the work than the count suggests.
