Move Over SCHD, I Am Buying This ETF Instead

SCHD has long been a dividend favorite amongst the dividend community. However, after the latest reconstitution, although I still like SCHD, I just believe the dividend growth will slow.

As such, I will be casting my eyes on another Dividend Growth focused ETF that I believe has some better growth potential as well as faster dividend growth trends moving forward.

Take a look at today's video and let me know which of these 2 ETFs you prefer most.

I'm sticking with SCHD, as I already have high exposure to technology.

[mikewashburn]

As a retired person going to disagree, funds to pay bills now more important than growth in the future. Younger person go for it.

[DoughRollers-tbli]

Luv the ETFs. I own both SCHD and DGRO. SCHD is one of my cores in the managed portfolio.
I also own VPU (utilities ETF), AMD tech but I also own an individual utility company like DUK.

I've got over 550 shares of SCHD, so I am going to continue with it. I complement it with solid positions in VOO and SCHG.

I plan on living off dividends so Schd’s 3.5% yield is a better fit for me. Schd’s top ten holdings are nothing to brag about but they all grow their dividends every year as well.

[RB-jeyj]

SCHD is slow and steady! I like my money slow and steady, hate spikes! The way I grew my money was 50/50 SCHD/VGT!

[JC-nhud]

Like always, great video. I prefer SCHD. If you compare the two, SCHD outperforms VIG for about 50 bps, which is not a lot, but it also has a higher dividend yield if you want/need income. I think they compliment each other, but not a replacement for one another.

[davidwysocki]

Thanks, Mark, for your interesting critique on SCHD, and your bull case on VIG. While I am long SCHD, I will take another look at VIG. However, VIG's dividend yield is pretty low for my purposes as a retired 72 year old investor. I can see the merits of investing in VIG for its dividend and capital gain growth potential especially for younger long-term investors. Good stuff!

[Justchillin]

I think technology is a primary reason why in recent times SCHD has underperformed its peers. But I don’t think that trend will continue over the next 10 years as much as others assume it will.

[fbglv]

I think I‘ll simply do 50/50 SCHD and VIG.

[X--JAMES]

If you look at SCHD’s 5, 10, and Max charts, it has been trending upward since inception, and continues to do so. I’d pick SCHD every day of the week, especially if I need a rock solid ETF and my living depended on it.

[koufax]

I’ve never been a SCHD investor. VIG has been my choice because of their top positions. Beats SCHD. Will continue to do so

[Gunny_]

Both are great but SCHD is always my favorite

[shahriazshaon]

SCHD is still the best. VYM, DGRO all decreased their yield this year. I would not include VIG just because it outperformed slightly SCHD. VIG has so many growth stock which lacks in dividend payment. I would rather add more VOO, VTI or SCHG and not VIG while continuing adding more SCHD.

[russtygee]

I'll stick to SCHD. I have plenty of VOO in my IRA (with 30% returns on it), so I'm reinvesting those dividends into SCHD now. By the time I'm ready to retire in 20-30 years I should be sitting pretty.

[jackwilson]

SCHD just declared largest dividend ever in June payable July 1. $0.824

[chrislindsay]

AVGO has paid my biggest home repair bills so far this year.

[TimothyBiliouris]

In my opinion, VIG is loaded with magnificent seven and tech exposure. At some point, the overvaluation will revert to the mean. I equate VIG to VOO. SCHD is a different etf.At some point, value will rebound.

[chriscarlson]

Hi Mark! I just started following your channel. I really like your content and the fact that you're an accountant is refreshing. Because accountants don't buy the hype they buy the numbers. I own both SCHD and VIG. I bought VIG for the reason that you suggested. Thanks for the great content!

I can never catch a break in the stock market. I was up by nearly $4000 but I regret not selling sooner. Sometimes I think I am too impulsive and sometimes I think I'm not fast enough. The market is too volatile.
