Dividend and Growth Stocks Drive Investment
The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF purchase signals confidence in steady dividend payers. The $25.4 million stake in 107,534 shares tracks the Dividend Achievers Select Index and holds index stocks at their benchmark weights, WatchList News reported. This position ranked as Markowski's third-largest holding.
Markowski paired dividend exposure with growth through its $12.2 million Vanguard Growth ETF purchase. The 141,952-share position represents 2.7% of the portfolio and ranks 12th among its holdings. The ETF tracks the MSCI US Prime Market Growth Index using a passive strategy to capture large-cap growth companies.
Income Strategies Across Bond and Stock Markets
Markowski's $10.4 million Goldman Sachs S&P 500 Core Premium Income ETF purchase adds income generation to equity exposure. The 187,992-share stake accounts for 2.3% of the firm's portfolio and ranks 16th in size. WatchList News noted this position represents just 0.21% of the ETF's outstanding shares.
Beyond stocks, Markowski made a $740,000 investment in the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF, acquiring 10,075 shares. The move diversifies returns beyond equities into fixed-income assets, hedging against stock market volatility while generating stable yields.
Semiconductors and Small-Cap Plays Signal Tech Optimism

A $588,000 purchase in the Vanguard Small-Cap Growth ETF rounded out the Q2 spree. Markowski's 1,609-share stake reflects interest in smaller growth-oriented companies. WatchList News reported that other major investors like Goldman Sachs and Russell Investments also increased their small-cap exposure during the quarter.
