SWTSX fits growth-and-income investors who prioritize dividend growth over current yield, not those seeking immediate income. The yield is low (below 2%) at 0.98%, though that sits above the fund's own 5-year average of 0.87%, meaning current buyers are getting slightly more income than the historical norm. The 8.9% annual dividend CAGR from 2009 to 2025 is the real draw. What an investor gains is broad U.S. equity market exposure with a dividend that has grown meaningfully over time. The trade-off is a sub-1% starting yield that delivers little income in the near term.
