SCHD is the gold standard for quality dividend investing, combining a rigorous 10-year consecutive dividend payment screen with fundamental quality metrics including cash flow to debt ratio, return on equity, dividend yield, and 5-year dividend growth rate. The resulting 100-stock portfolio represents the most financially sound dividend-paying companies in the US with demonstrated commitment to returning capital.
Who It's For
Income investors, retirees, and those building a dividend growth portfolio for long-term wealth accumulation. SCHD is ideal for taxable accounts seeking qualified dividend income and for investors in the transition from accumulation to distribution phase. Pairs excellently with VYM for those wanting both high-quality dividend growth and current income yield within a diversified dividend equity strategy.
