This notable inflow highlights investor interest in income-generating assets, even as the broader market has been largely driven by tech stock performance. VYM offers a 2.2% yield and includes strong performers like Broadcom, while VYMI provides a 3.45% yield and has seen a 55% surge since early 2025, indicating both income and growth appeal.
