BTCCSquare news:
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD), boasting a trailing yield of 3.9%, has recently lagged behind the S&P 500 and other major dividend funds. While its yield surpasses alternatives like the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM), questions arise about its sustainability and growth potential.
Dividend investors often prioritize yield, but longevity demands more—consistent payout growth, inflation resistance, and capital appreciation. SCHD's benchmark, the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, excludes many high-growth tech stocks, a structural limitation in today's market.
