Use the stock/fund screener on your brokers website to see what you are looking for.
I have had these same index funds for many years. I sold everything Jan 1, 2022 and got into money markets that are paying over 5%. BUT, throughout the year, I put in a lot of money into a couple of these funds/apple while they were down and then got out of most of them when the peaked. When I think things are going to turn around in this world/stock market, I will sell all my money market funds and repurchase all my trusted index funds and get growth that we haven’t seen in a while. I don’t do bonds, don’t do annuities, just do low risk, high return, high dividends, low turnover, index funds with a couple of single stocks, and never use a broker or advisor
