If you’re looking for safety, diversification and yield in a crazed market, keep an eye on the Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (VOOG).

After returning about 23% in 2024, which is double its annual gain of 10.6%, it’s expected to do even better this year. With an expense ratio of 0.1%, the VOOG ETF just paid a dividend of $0.533600 on December 26 to shareholders of record as of December 23. Plus, the VOOG ETF holds 233 of the best-performing growth stocks on the S&P 500, including Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta Platforms to name a few.

Aside from the VOOG ETF, investors may also want to consider:

JEPQ has an expense ratio of 0.35% at the moment.
