SCHD vs VYM - Which Dividend ETF is Best? The Ultimate Comparison

In today’s video we’re going to compare two popular, higher-yielding dividend growth ETFs. The first one is the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF, ticker symbol SCHD, and the second is the Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund, ticker symbol VYM. We’re going to do a bunch of comparisons between the two by looking at a number of different metrics. We’ll start by looking at some surface-level information like current yield, expense ratio, and holdings, and then eventually move on to calculating the dividend growth and total return of these two funds. As always, be sure to perform your own research and come to your own conclusion before making any investment decisions for yourself.
First off, the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF is a fund that invests in stocks selected based on their fundamental strengths relative to their peers, based on financial ratios. The fund's goal is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index. SCHD was launched in October of 2011, almost 13 years ago. The Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE® High Dividend Yield Index, which measures the investment return of common stocks of companies characterized by high dividend yields. VYM was launched back in November of 2006, so it’s an older fund than SCHD.
