BREAKING: SCHD ETF SHARE SPLIT (massive price drop for SCHD and SCHG)

SCHG split in 2022. I have 4 of the 20 now.

[@gmv0553]

​@@NolanGouveiabut you reported wrong about Vanguard ETFs! You can buy partial shares of their ETFs because I do it every month! You compared the high price of VOO as a negative compared to the split of SCHG!

[@Hannahbenowitz]

The etf SCHD is basically an index fund of strong companies that pay out dividends. It only has an expense ratio of 0.06% and has performed well since it came about 10 or so years ago. I highly recommend people consider adding it to their portfolio. With enough time, you can use those dividends later in life to largely live off of without touching the principle.

[@HildaBennet]

I’m sorry if this comes across as offensive, I really don’t mean for it to be but, if you dont know how to add stocks into your portfolio, you need to learn a lot more basics before you even pick anything to invest in.

[@DaliaCohen2230]

Dividends from the stock market encouraged me to begin investing. What matters, in my opinion, is that if you invest and make additional passive income in addition to dividends, you will be able to live off of dividends without selling. It implies that you can provide that benefit for your children, giving them a head start in life. I've invested more than “$600K” in dividend stocks through my asset manager and will continue to do so until the price falls even further.

[@bartlyAD]

I’ve felt like an outsider looking in since I first bought dividends kn 2018. I planned to do more research and increase my earnings but I got lazy and forgot. So now its time to stop being stubborn and. Ask for help. Can you tell me where to get answers?

[@DaliaCohen2230]

[@deadairconversion]

If you want to attract new, young investors, $85 can be a lot for some. This split makes sense if they are trying to attract younger investors. Interesting how this happened not long after the rate cut. I think Schwab is ahead of the game here, trying to attractive some of the Billions of dollars of capital currently sitting in money markets that will be coming back in to the market over the next year as rates come down.

Every crash/collapse brings with it an equivalent market chance if you are early informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass up to $1m amid economy crisis, and even pull it off easily in favorable conditions. Unequivocally, the collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich.

I do not disagree, there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such execution are usually carried out by investment experts with experience since the 08' crash.

The issue is people have the "I want to do it myself mentality" but not equipped enough for a crash, hence get burnt. Ideally, advisors are reps for investing jobs, and at first-hand encounter, my portfolio has yielded over 300% since 2020 just after the pandemic to date.

I inherited something similar but growth of is 4.74% in the past 12 months. In this environment does investing under a brokerage with a custodian outperform a 401k? should I seek a pro to grow my funds on brokerage acct or still hold? I have 5 years to retirement. Happy to discuss.

[@Muller_Andr]

the size of your retirement portfolio will overwhelmingly be a function of the performance of the stock and bond markets between now and when you start withdrawing from it.

[@simone_maya]

You need a third party to help you out. A financial planner or accountant can run through your figures, including your projected income and expenditures when you retire, along with your retirement goals, your emergency fund and any other strategies you need to put in place for such things as long-term care.

[@xavier_lucas]

Travel is a small but important part of that overall puzzle. Start with an annual budget for socializing and travel - $15,000 per year is a figure I picked out of the sky - and see how you get on with that over time. Agree to remain open to further conversations about adjusting that figure upwards or downwards. (From an asset allocation perspective, given the current rate environment, you can somewhat have your cake and eat it too)

[@LesterHess-t1x]

In essence, the ETF SCHD is an index fund comprising reliable businesses that distribute dividends. Since it arrived around ten years ago, it has done well and only has an expense ratio of 0.06%. I strongly advise everyone to think about include it in their portfolio. Later in life, if you have enough time, you can utilise those dividends to largely support yourself without having to touch the principle.

[@wmwoods-l4f]

I sincerely apologise if this comes off as insulting, but before you even choose what to invest in, you should understand a lot more fundamentals if you don't know how to add equities to your portfolio.

[@j.ottinger]

I started investing after receiving stock market dividends. The important thing, in my opinion, is that you will be able to live off of dividends without selling if you invest and generate extra passive income in addition to dividends. It suggests that you are able to provide your kids that advantage, which will give them a leg up in life. Through my financial manager, I have invested over "$600K" in dividend equities, and I plan to keep doing so until the price drops much lower.

They will also reduce the dividend rate in accordance to the split so .75 would be .25 a share.

[@charmedcole2007]

Hi. It depends on what company/platform you're using. I use Fidelity and it allows fractional share purchases and automatic investments with even amount purchases (i.e., set up automatic investments of $50 to purchase $20 of VOO, $20 of SCHD, and $10 of QQQM or whatever proportion you want on monthly, weekly, or twice a week schedule).

[@MartinD9999]

darkskinamerican7826 Why can’t you just get fractional shares? Why do you need an entire share?

[@Thehharrison]

But now with dilution you still need 2 shares to equal today’s value. Nothing changes the price will remain the same. You effectively can buy half a share at a time now.

[@mplate1792]

on the beginner level, it's worth mentioning that the dividends per share will also drop correspondingly. But, as you'll now have more shares, the total dividends should be equal to the pre-split amount +/-

great points yes!

[@kito1san]

The dividend payouts seems to happen first. With the ex div date today and pay out by 9/30. The stock split "ex split" date is 10/9 and split on 10/3 (3 for 1).

[@bradgreenwood2588]

What happens to the dividend amounts? Do they reduce like the share price or do they stay at current levels?

They will split with the share. So if the dividend is 75 cents and it splits 10-1 then the dividend will be 7.5 cents per share.

[@pete5691]

Percentage will be the same.

[@kito1san]

Wait.. those are 2 separate events. Dividends will happen on 9/30. Stick split on 10/10. I believe the dividends payout will cause the stock to lower first then the price will rebound within those 10 days and not sure if the stock split will drive up or drive down the stock before the split.

Anyone concerned about todays drop in SCHD price needs to understand it was ex-div date. So each share dropped by the dividend amount plus the market price drop for the day. Remember, dividends are not free, they come out of share price.

[@k.williams4925]

Excellent news. I'm a big holder of SCHG. You are correct, this will make me buy more shares quicker.

[@Sylvan_dB]

Being an ETF this will do far less to the share price than even the tiny amount a company split affects those shares. An ETF price is all based on the underlying assets. A split and money pouring in won't change that to any significance because the prices of the underlying assets won't be affected by the (relatively) tiny new investments at the time of the split.

[@networkteacher1]

If more money flows in, does that make it more difficult for SCHD to rebalance and/or take advantage of new opportunities to move the needle?

[@stancartmankenny]

it's called clickbait.

He took down the comment with the most upvotes and a ton of people replying on it about their dislike of this clickbait fear mongering title. All credibility out the window. As a content creator you should be ashamed in your grimy ways.

I own SCHD shares and want to buyer more shares. Should I buy now or wait until after the split? Thanks for the info.

[@Kay-jk2gi]

I'd like to know the best strategy for this too

[@bkearns172]

It doesn’t matter before or after. You still own the same amount. All the splitting does is make it easier to buy shares. Since the price is cheaper. Value is the same.

[@Positivecuriosity46]

It equates to the same, but after Oct. 11 you can get it at a cheaper price.

[@xDropless]

Quick Question, I have my monthly Deposit , do you recommend I buy the SCHD now or after they do the stock Split ?

[@jtbokc]

anyone have views on whether one should have aa joint taxable account or just simply invest into etf's? are there any benefits in choosing one over the other?

[@jcbuzz36]

What about fractional shares? Do they get rounded up for the split purposes?

[@NolanGouveia]

Not 100% sure on that

[@aliasname602]

Instead of owning a gallon you own 4 quarts now.

[@tonyherdina9142]

@aliasname602 So there is no benefit if you bought it before or after the split? It's not going to change the stocks SCHD holds.

[@aliasname602]

@@tonyherdina9142 When a stock is process of being split. There is speculation on the perception of value before and after the split. Will people pay more or less for 4 quarts versus a gallon? And the trading based on speculation may move the price around. SCHD is an etf with 103 holdings, and each stock is already being traded based on a number of factors,: earnings, consumer data, interest rates etc. I believe the SCHD split will be extremely faint and inconsequential background noise. SCHD is a long term hold, not something to be traded in the short term based on stock splits.

[@dividendjourney]

@@tonyherdina9142Exactly. It’s like cutting a pie into more pieces. But if you hold say 25% of the pie you’ll still own 25% just in smaller units stilling coming out to 25%. Hypothetical of course. But hope that makes sense. Makes things more affordable if people buy in whole shares, etc.
