This video runs the full $100,000 math at both funds' 10-year annualized returns and lands on a result most comparison articles never show: VIG produces $42,000 more in portfolio value at year 10 but $150 less per month in dividend income than VYM, because a larger position at a lower yield still pays out less than a smaller position at a higher yield. The choice between them is not which fund is better β€” it is which result you actually need at year 10.
