- Vanguard Dividend Growth Fund Investor Shares (VDIGX) is an actively managed open-end mutual fund that invests primarily in high-quality, large-cap stocks exhibiting prospects for long-term total returns through sustained earnings growth and a commitment to increasing dividends over time; the portfolio emphasizes undervalued companies with strong competitive advantages across diversified industry sectors, including technology (approximately 24%), financial services (19%), healthcare (15%), industrials (12%), and consumer cyclical (12%), with top holdings such as UnitedHealth Group, Johnson & Johnson, PepsiCo, Union Pacific, and Honeywell International; it maintains low turnover (15.6% as of fiscal year-end January 31, 2025), a net expense ratio of 0.22%, and total net assets of approximately $43.9 billion as of November 30, 2025. Launched on May 15, 1992, the fund is domiciled in the United States and managed by Peter C. Fisher of Wellington Management Company LLP, who assumed sole portfolio management responsibilities effective January 1, 2024, succeeding longtime manager Donald J. Kilbride following a multi-year succession plan during which Fisher served as comanager since July 2022. The fund, part of The Vanguard Group, Inc.—headquartered in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania and founded in 1975—targets long-term investors seeking current income and capital appreciation through dividend-growing equities, with approximately 94% allocated to U.S. stocks, 5% to non-U.S. stocks, and 1% to cash; it is available to U.S. investors with a minimum initial investment of $3,000. Recent developments include its inclusion in the rebalanced equity allocation of Vanguard STAR Fund (VGSTX) announced December 6, 2024, to enhance style balance and reduce risk by adding VDIGX alongside Vanguard International Core Fund while removing Vanguard Explorer Fund; additionally, Vanguard launched the Vanguard Dividend Growth ETF (VDIG) in late 2025, managed by the same Wellington team responsible for VDIGX, offering a concentrated 20-40 stock portfolio benchmarking the S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index with a 0.40% expense ratio.
