VAS ETF

Can you tell me if VAS pays a dividend and if so, how often. Roughly how much percentage is this a growth or dividend play?

Also, do you like HVST and VHY?

A: Yes, VAS (the ETF from Vanguard that tracks the S&P/ASX 300) pays a distribution, quarterly. Because it is tracking a very broad based index, you can expect the distribution to be almost identical to the market yield. See here.

VHY and HVST are also broad based share ETFs, but have biases to high yield stocks. They track less recognized, high yield indices. Of these, prefer the Vanguard product VHY to Betashares HVST.
