Vanguard Dividend Appreciation (VIG)

Investors looking to hold a basket of stocks of companies that have a record of growing their dividends can consider buying an ETF like Vanguard's Dividend Appreciation fund.

ETFs trade intra-day like stocks; Mutual funds trade at the end of the day when the net asset value (NAV) of the underlying holdings can be determined.

SPDR S&P Dividend (SDY)

One of only a handful of ETFs to earn a five-star rating from Morningstar, this dividend ETF is among the best funds with reasonable fees that cover a broad selection of dividend stocks.

SDOG tracks the S-Network Sector Dividend Dogs Index, which starts with the S&P 500 index, then screens at the sector level to create a diverse mix of dividend stocks.

And when a fund has low turnover, taxes are generally lower because the low relative selling of underlying holdings means fewer capital gains passed on to the ETF shareholder.
