US Dividend Equity ETF Schwab
SCHD (Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF) is an exchange‑traded fund that aims to provide exposure to high-quality U.S. companies that have a history of paying dividends. Managed by Charles Schwab, the ETF screens for firms with stable earnings, reasonable payout ratios and consistent dividend records, concentrating on large‑cap names across a range of sectors. Investors often use SCHD for income and as a core holding to capture dividend yield with the diversification and liquidity of an ETF. It is designed to be a low‑cost, transparent vehicle, though dividends and share prices can fall and past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Suitable for investors seeking income and long‑term total return, it may not fit those focused solely on capital growth or who require guarantees. As with any investment, consider costs, tax treatment and how it fits your wider portfolio before investing.
