Dividend Growth Investing is a beautiful way to spend your time and grow your net worth and income. However, many of us do not have the time to manage 15-25 dividend stocks in a DGI portfolio.
Can we substitute Dividend ETFs instead of DGI stocks? Yes and no. I do more in-depth inside the book. However, there are pros and cons to letting an index manage your stocks via ETFs.
I have Dividend ETFs in my portfolio, and they have performed well for me, but I also have a full-blown DGI portfolio. It is my hobby to read about stocks and manage my portfolio—so much so that I write about it every day.
You will have to understand how much time you can put into managing your own portfolio, then decide if managing a DGI portfolio or Dividend ETFs is right for you. Or, you can do both—life is great, right?
