why did you move out of the GNMA fund? I have built replacement income from REIT preferreds and baby bonds shares over the last 18 months. I still kept 50% of the GNMA fund. I have pretty large cash reserves in the local Credit Union that I use like a secured money fund. This Dividend growth Vanguard Fund is/was interesting as it covers many of the dividend growers we watch here. It has a very low expense ratio at 0.08% too. I also have been watching the Vanguard REIT fund but passed on that as it was trading at/near it's high and I think we are at a peak in the real estate cycle (usually 10 years from low to high). The Vanguard GNMA was a great one to hold in the 90's and early 2000 w/ high yields. FWIW, In 2015 I took 50% of the GNMA fund and put it into their S&P 500 Index and that has done quite well. I did look at the High Dividend Yield (VYM) (only 3.2%) Fund as well as the Vanguard Utility Fund. Thought the Utility Fund was a good choice but typically utility prices peak before stocks. What is intereting Vanguard also has many ETFs too. I have not looked at these account for years as they are/were on auto pilot and doing ok over the last 10 years. Good Investing EKS
