VIG or DGRO: Which dividend growth ETF is better for you?

When I first started learning about dividend investing, I found myself searching for the best dividend growth ETF. The challenging part of searching for this information was I would often find emotional or subjective articles and videos on this topic. In this video I objectively analyze all key components of what makes the best dividend growth ETF based on facts and not emotions. In this video I compare VIG and DGRO while looking at the expense ratio, AUM, fund index and fund methodology, top holdings, top sectors, net inflows, yield on cost based on historical results and the historical performance compared to the SP500.
