Why SCHD Deserves The Benefit Of The Doubt
SCHD offers a compelling blend of 3% yield, long-term dividend growth, and broad diversification for income-focused investors. Despite recent underperformance, SCHD's 10% annualized dividend growth and defensive sector allocation support its long-term value proposition. Robust fund inflows and a strong track record of NAV and dividend growth reinforce SCHD's appeal as a core holding for passive income portfolios.
