The technology sector – including artificial intelligence play Nvidia – has helped lift the overall index, rising 33% this year alone.

"It might take a little longer to manifest but we think is an interesting combination of offense and defense, and it provides meaningful cash flows for investors," Saccocia said. The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF , with a total return of 11.2% in 2024, has a 24.4% weighting in tech, but financials make up 19.7% of the fund, while health care accounts for another 16%.
