SCHD: A Strong Option For Income-Focused Portfolio

  • SCHD offers a diversified, large-cap U.S. dividend portfolio with a 3.9% yield, low 0.06% expense ratio, and moderate valuation. While SCHD has underperformed the S&P 500 over 3, 5, and 10 years, it provides some downside protection and steady income. SCHD is ideal for investors seeking reliable dividend growth and portfolio defensiveness, especially as a complement to growth stocks.
