Is Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF the Smartest Investment You Can Make Today?

Key Points The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF tracks an index of dividend stocks. The index it tracks uses a fairly complex screening process. The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF basically owns a portfolio of high-quality stocks with growing dividends. 10 stocks we like better than Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF › Some investors enjoy the investment process, which is why they pick individual stocks. Other investors hate picking stocks and prefer to go with a pooled investment product, like a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF). If you are in the latter camp and focused on generating income from your investments, the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD) could be one of the smartest investments you can make today. Keeping it simple, but not too simple For most people, just living a normal life is enough to keep them occupied. Adding in trying to manage a portfolio of individual stocks is just too much to bother with. It's stressful, too! That's why pooled investment products like the Vanguard 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO), which tracks the S&P 500 index, exist. With one purchase, you get a diversified portfolio, and you don't have to worry about keeping tabs on all the stocks in the ETF. If you like to keep things simple, the question really boils down to which ETF or mutual fund fits best with your investment needs. If that need is income, an S&P 500 tracker isn't a great pick right now. A better choice is the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF. For starters, the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF offers an attractive 3.8% dividend yield at a time when the S&P 500 index is only offering a yield of roughly 1.2%. Second, the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF is very cost-effective, with an expense ratio of only 0.06%. That said, the really big reason a dividend-focused investor would want to buy this particular ETF is all about how it picks the 100 stocks that it owns. What does the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF do? Technically speaking, the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF doesn't actually pick any stocks. It tracks an index and just buys whatever the index includes. So the real question is: What does the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index do? That's the index the ETF mimics. The index, and thus the ETF, only look at companies that have increased their dividends for a decade or more. Real estate investment trusts are removed from consideration. Each company with more than 10 years of dividend increases gets a composite score that includes cash flow to total debt, return on equity, dividend yield, and a company's five-year dividend growth rate. The 100 companies with the highest scores are included in the index, and thus the ETF, using a market cap weighting. The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF owns high-quality companies with attractive yields that also have a history of increasing their dividends. That is pretty much what every long-term dividend investor is looking for, too. Thus, you get an instant and attractive dividend-focused stock portfolio with one investment, all for the low price of a 0.06% expense ratio. Notice in the chart above that the price of the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF and the dividend it pays have trended generally higher over time. There will be zigs and zags along the way, of course, but buying good companies with growing dividends has worked very well so far. Should you buy the ETF today? There are nuanced answers to the question of whether or not to buy today, given that the market is trading near all-time highs right now. But history suggests that sticking to a long-term investment plan is going to be more beneficial for most investors than trying to time the market. So if you are an income-focused investor looking for a simple investment, even today, buying the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF is likely to be a good long-term investment choice. Should you buy stock in Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF right now?

Want Decades of Passive Income? Buy This Index Fund and Hold It Forever.

Key Points There are many forms of passive income. Investing in dividend-paying stocks is a particularly effective form. This ETF makes it easy -- and it's recently yielding a hefty 3.9%. 10 stocks we like better than Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF › It's hard to beat passive income. Set up your investments and then money flows to you regularly, without your having to do any, or much, work. There are many forms of passive income, too, such as rent checks from properties you own, interest payments from savings accounts or bonds you own, royalties from books you wrote, and dividend income from dividend-paying stocks or dividend-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) you own. Here's a look at a particularly attractive way to collect passive income: the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD). As an ETF, it's a fund that trades like a stock. And it offers not only dividend income but growing dividend income and the likelihood of its component holdings growing in value over time as well. Why dividends? In case you're not yet sold on the power of dividend investing, check out the table below: Dividend-Paying Status Average Annual Total Return, 1973-2024 Dividend growers and initiators 10.24% Dividend payers 9.20% No change in dividend policy 6.75% Dividend non-payers 4.31% Dividend shrinkers and eliminators (0.89%) Equal-weighted S&P 500 index 7.65% Data source: Ned Davis Research and Hartford Funds. See? Dividend-paying stocks are not boring investments made by grandparents. They're suitable for all kinds of investors, and they perform rather well, too. That's partly because a company has to grow enough to have fairly dependable income before it will commit to paying a regular dividend. A passive-income winner: The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF There are lots of dividend-focused ETFs, so what's so great about the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF? Well, while some dividend ETFs deliver lots of income but relatively little growth, and others are strong growers but don't offer that much income, this ETF strikes a nice balance between the two. The Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF recently sported a very solid dividend yield of 3.9%. It tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, which is "designed to measure the performance of high-dividend-yielding stocks in the U.S. with a record of consistently paying dividends, selected for fundamental strength relative to their peers, based on financial ratios." As an index fund, it aims to deliver roughly the same return as the index it tracks, less its fees, which are rather puny. The ETF's expense ratio (annual fee) is 0/06%, meaning that you'll fork over $6 per year for every $10,000 you have invested in the ETF. What's in the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF? Here are the ETF's recent top 10 holdings: Stock Weight in ETF Recent yield Texas Instruments 4.35% 2.53% Chevron 4.22% 4.56% PepsiCo 4.16% 3.90% Cisco Systems 4.11% 2.41% ConocoPhillips 4.10% 3.36% Amgen 3.99% 3.11% Merck 3.92% 3.97% Altria Group 3.84% 6.86% AbbVie 3.82% 3.51% Verizon Communications 3.80% 6.31% Source: as of July 22, 2025. You can see that these 10 (out of about 100) holdings, which together make up around 40% of the ETF's value, pay meaningful dividends. And as long as they remain healthy and growing, they're likely to increase their payouts over time. For context, note that the S&P 500 index recently yielded 1.23%. How has the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF performed? Finally, here's a look at how the ETF has performed in the past. I'll include the S&P 500's performance for comparison, using the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO): Fund 3-year average annual gain 5-year average annual gain 10-year average annual gain Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF 8.14% 12.54% 11.39% Vanguard S&P 500 ETF 18.49% 15.69% 13.51% Source: as of July 22, 2025. You can see that, on average, investors are likely to see their money grow faster in a low-fee S&P 500 index fund, but it's not going to produce nearly as much income as the Schwab ETF. Some investors may want to park a portion of their long-term portfolio in each of the ETFs. Either or both will deliver decades of passive income, though one will deliver more.

2 Dividend Stocks You Won't Find in the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD). And They're Better Buys.

Key Points The Schwab dividend ETF is a solid pick, but some stocks might offer more upside. Philip Morris International is delivering strong growth thanks to its next-gen products. Dominion Energy has upside potential thanks to its position in the data center boom. 10 stocks we like better than Philip Morris International › Invest in Gold American Hartford Gold: #1 Precious Metals Dealer in the Nation Priority Gold: Up to $15k in Free Silver + Zero Account Fees on Qualifying Purchase Thor Metals Group: Best Overall Gold IRA If you're looking to invest in dividend stocks, one of the most popular ways to do it is with the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD). The exchange-traded fund (ETF) has net assets of nearly $70 billion, making it one of the biggest dividend ETFs around. And with a dividend yield of 3.9%, it's a much better bet than an S&P 500 ETF, which currently offers a dividend yield of just 1.2%. The Schwab Dividend ETF aims to track the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, and its holdings consist of classic blue chip stocks. Its top five holdings are Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Pepsico, Merck, and Amgen, showing it draws from sectors known for dividend stocks, such as energy, consumer staples, and healthcare. ETFs offer advantages such as diversification, but they also have drawbacks, including a limited upside relative to individual stocks. If you're looking for dividend stocks that aren't part of the SCHD dividend ETF, keep reading to see two that look primed to outperform. 1. Philip Morris International The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF holds stocks based only in the U.S., so naturally, Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM) is excluded. The tobacco giant was formed when it was separated from Altria in 2007. Philip Morris International took control of the same set of brands, led by Marlboro, but operated them outside of the U.S. That's proven to be a beneficial position for the company, as cigarette sales have been stronger outside of the U.S. In the second quarter, Philip Morris' volume of cigarette sales declined by 1.5%, while organic revenue from cigarettes rose 2%. However, what's really driven the stock higher and makes it a smart buy today is the company's growth in next-gen, smoke-free products like IQOS heat-not-burn tobacco sticks and its ZYN oral nicotine pouches, which it gained in its acquisition of Swedish Match. In the second quarter, 41% of the company's revenue came from smoke-free products. Revenue from its smoke-free products grew 15.2%, and gross profit jumped 23.3%. Overall, organic revenue rose 6.8% to $10.1 billion, and operating income was up 14.9% to $3.7 billion, showing its margins are expanding as more of its business comes from those next-gen products. Given the momentum in those categories, the future looks bright, even as legacy peers like Altria are struggling. As a dividend payer, Philip Morris also offers a long track record of dividend growth, and it currently pays a dividend yield of 3.4%. Overall, the stock offers a great combination of growth and income. 2. Dominion Energy No utilities are featured in the Schwab Dividend ETF, as those are represented by a different Dow Jones index. Utilities are known to be top-notch, reliable dividend payers, and Dominion Energy (NYSE: D) fits the bill with a yield of 4.5%. The company, which earns most of its business through its electric utility in Virginia, is in an advantageous position for a utility. However, as Northern Virginia has become the capital of data centers, the data center boom, fueled by demand for artificial intelligence (AI), is driving increased demand for electricity. The company hasn't reported second-quarter earnings yet, but the tailwinds from the data center boom seem to be showing up in its first-quarter earnings report, as revenue rose 12% to $4.08 billion, and its earnings per share (EPS) jumped 50% to $0.75. Management is targeting EPS of $3.28 to $3.52 for the full year, which represents a 23% increase from the year before. Investors also tend to see utilities as an alternative to fixed income, so Dominion's stock price could get a boost if interest rates fall, though that may not happen soon. Overall, Dominion offers the safety and reliability of a utility stock with the upside potential of an AI stock. If you're an income investor looking for exposure to AI, Dominion Energy is a great choice. Should you invest $1,000 in Philip Morris International right now?

The Best High-Yield Dividend ETF to Own for the Next 10 Years

Key Points Companies must pass key tests to be included in the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF. This fund has averaged a solid dividend yield of over 3% for the past 10 years. Its 0.06% expense ratio is one of the lowest for an ETF in its category. 10 stocks we like better than Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF › Warren Buffett once said, "If you aren't willing to own a stock for 10 years, don't even think about owning it for 10 minutes." This applies to any stock, but especially dividend stocks, because most of the value typically comes from holding long term and taking advantage of the compound effect. To get an above-average dividend yield (compared to the S&P 500) while minimizing the risks that come with investing in individual stocks, investors should consider a dividend-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF). They can be the best of both worlds with good payouts and relative stability. If you're looking for a high-yield dividend ETF you can comfortably hold for a decade, look no further than the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD). It's one of the more popular dividend ETFs on the stock market, and for good reason. The fund's criteria help to vet companies beforehand The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF mirrors the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index. Unlike some dividend indexes that focus mainly on dividend yields, the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index has a more rigorous criteria for being included. To make the cut, a company must show the following things: At least 10 years of dividend payouts A history of annual dividend increases A strong balance sheet and consistent cash flow Due to the criteria, you can be sure the companies in this ETF are thoroughly vetted, which is important when you're investing long term and plan to hold on to the stock for at least a decade. Below are the Schwab fund's top 10 holdings and how much of the ETF they make up: Company Percentage of the ETF Texas Instruments 4.36% PepsiCo 4.24% Chevron 4.23% ConocoPhillips 4.15% Cisco Systems 4.08% Merck 4.00% Amgen 3.99% AbbVie 3.93% Bristol Myers Squibb 3.85% Coca-Cola 3.80% Data source: Charles Schwab. Percentages as of July 18. These may not be flashy companies, but they're reliable and have businesses set up for the long term. A history of consistently good dividend yields Dividend yields will inevitably fluctuate as stock prices change, but the Schwab fund has averaged a dividend of at least 3% over the past decade. This is a much better average than the S&P 500 during that span. If we assume that the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF maintains a yield of at least 3% (emphasis on "assume"), that could pay investors at least $30 per $1,000 invested annually. That won't make you the next Jeff Bezos, but it adds up over time, especially when reinvested to buy more shares. Unlike an individual company that has consistent dividend payout amounts, payouts from this ETF (and most dividend ETFs) fluctuate because companies pay out dividends at different times. Still, it should continue to fit the "high yield" criteria. Low fees ensure you keep more money to yourself An aspect of the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF that shouldn't be overlooked is its low expense ratio of 0.06%, which works out to $0.60 per $1,000 invested. Although small differences in expense ratios may not seem like a big deal, they noticeably add up. For perspective, let's assume you invest $500 monthly into two ETFs, one with a 0.06% expense ratio and one with a 0.25% expense ratio. If you average 10% annual returns for 10 years, here's how your investments would stack up with each: Expense Ratio Amount Paid in Fees Investment Total 0.06% $887 $94,737 0.25% $3,664 $91,960 Data source: Author's calculations using the SEC compound interest calculator. What seems like a slight 0.19% difference on paper turns out to cost thousands more over a decade. That's money that could've been used to make more money, cover expenses, or put toward a personal purchase you've had in mind. Dividends are a great way to earn money in the stock market without depending solely on a stock or ETF's price appreciation. Do the experts think Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF is a buy right now?
