I have DGRW in my Roth IRA to compound for a few decades, I've considered DGRO in my taxable or other accounts but ultimately stick to SPY or VOO.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

If you want to focus on total returns and keep it tax efficient, SPY and VOO can be a good option for a taxable account. You could always rebalance when you retire out of SPY/VOO into something like SCHD.

[@MannySimoneCards]

​@DividendGrowthInvesting Thanks for the tip! Question though. Why would one more their money to SCHD when retiring? New investor here

[@yonesm7824]

Been watching your videos all day today! Love the content. I use SCHD, DGRO, and DGRW.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Glad you like them! Great ETFs!!!

[@bihanmk3801]

AVUV COWZ + SCHD ^^

[@IevgeniiIegorushkov]

Those magnificent SCHD and DGRO are unavailable in Europe, so it makes it easier to choose DGRW :)

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Good to know!

[@richardjohnson1261]

Just found your video. Liked your presentation and insight. Some time ago, I was looking for a compliment to SCHD. I did comparisons with other funds including DGRW and DGRO. I came to the same conclusions you did. Being retired, I was more focused on current dividends as well as fund cross-over. I picked DGRO. There are holdings in each fund I liked as well as DGRO's higher dividend and lower cost. Also, I was looking just as SCHD was doing its annual re-mix, so it was interesting. I've been adding to SCHD and DGRO as core holdings. I am always leery of doing forward projections, so I'm hoping past performance IS an indication of future results (ha ha, that's a joke). We'll see what happens and adjust as needed. Again, thanks for your thoughts. Cheers

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Both Schd and DGRO are great as a core dividend portfolio. You could look to add something like Vym or a covered call etf like jepq to boost your income.

[@richardjohnson1261]

@@DividendGrowthInvesting Actually, I have. I started investing in JEPQ about a year ago and that adventure continues. Once I'd gotten relatively well established in DGRO, I started adding VYM. I am looking to build a core of etf's that are solid and pay better than S&P 500, then add etf's like JEPQ as satellites that may not grow (or may) but pay very well. So far it looks like it's working. Cheers

[@Gunieapower33]

Love DGRW. I dunnno why just feels good. I like the cut of its jib. DGRW is defensive with some offensive tendencies . It’s the Hakeem Olajuwon of ETF’s.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Yup!! Quality is both aggressive and defensive it looks like

[@Alphahydro]

I've been touting Core and Satellite investing for a while and the timing of this video was perfect. My WPC holding just took a hit so I'll be disposing of it and another slow grower and putting the proceeds into treasuries via a Money Market Fund until there's a little more fear in the market. I'll tactically add to DGRW or DHS (or both) with existing funds over the remainder of the year, and new funds going forward.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Yeah I’m thinking we will see a 15-25% dividend reduction in WPC after the spinoff of their office buildings. I’m liking Dgrw and dhs. Just the expense ratio :(

[@richardjimenez6532]

Wow that's crazy I was just looking the other day to see if you had a video between those 2 ETF😂😂😂

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

[@matthewkesky8150]

hmm. My top 4 roth holdings are DGRO, SCHD, JEPI, and JEPQ

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Same here!

[@AnyangU]

Good video! But I think if you are looking for more growth to combine with SCHD, despite its expense ratio, DGRW is a good compliment. But, I don't think you can really go wrong with DGRO or DGRW. Both are good ETFs.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

very true! Really comes down to personal preference in my opinion. Both are great options!

[@livefree223]

What an EXCELLENT video! I have had DGRW for a while in my M1 portfolio and like it for the monthly dividend. I've been wanting to add some high quality ETFs into my M1, and DGRO will be added to the team.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Great ETFs!!

[@rjlane3475]

I still think a split of SCHD + QQQ is the way to go. 100 stocks in each ETF gives you 200 companies. also no overlap with these 2 funds. 85/15 or 80/20

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

QQQ is a great growth etf. Don’t expect to live off the dividend from qqq. Once you reach retirement you would look to rebalance if you plan to live off your dividends in retirement.

[@brianlau2757]

I am betting on DGRO for long term performance because of lower fees

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Same here. The low expense ratio is really great with DGRO. DGRW does pay a monthly dividend though.

[@Gio-zi5lw]

I'm planning to open a Roth Ira. I would like to structure it in a satellite approach. what Etf and stock would you are recommend?

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Good way to round out your portfolio!

[@kaydenchristiansen7422]

What would you say for DGRO vs VYM for growth over the next 20 years?

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

look at the index methodology of both. VYM is focused on a higher current yield of companies growing a bit slower and DGRO is focused on dividend growers. Depending on your time horizon, you would want to pick which is right for you.

[@charlielipthratt7291]

​@DividendGrowthInvesting - so if you're retiring early with 40+ years to go and you're lump sum investing, half of your core could be split between VYM and DGRO to boost yield a bit? VYM pays you more today and DGRO's yield would catch up over time. I know in your other video regarding core and satellite investing, you recommended adding JEPI/JEPQ to boost the yield. I was thinking the VYM/ DGRO would be more ER and tax efficient over 40+ years. You just need a bigger lump sum to start with.

[@adrianneaga]

Chose DGRO for 2 reasons: 1. Expense ratio 2. ETF provider name

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

good reasons

[@JG3outANDabout]

liking how you are putting these videos together. learning a lot too.

[@barandek]

Did you see PEY? Etf that focus on high yield but have very interesting dividend growth history with higher starting yield, maybe you can review that one? Love all the videos you do

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

I like PEY. Great growth. I like in index it tracks. I like the monthly dividend. It’s just the high expense ratio. You’re paying $52 for every $10k invested a year compared with $6 for SCHD. I kinda compare DHS with PEY. I like PEY all but the expense ratio.

[@CultureandChirst]

Is DHS qualified dividends? PEY was qualified last tax season

[@papazimbo]

Newbie investor here and don’t understand what you mean by best tax treatment because of the lack of reits. Could you or someone explain for me? Thanks

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

It means you pay less in taxes. Qualified vs nonqualified. Non qualified are taxed at regular rates. Qualified you get a lower tax rate.

[@303Estates]

Hi Jake... great video!! Thanks. Question ... I watched a YT video recently that said the dividends you get paid from say an ETF fund, is really paid from the value of your stock. So if a dollar is paid as a dividend, it is just subtracted from your stock value. Can you do a video explaining this ;-) It is refereed to as "free-dividends fallacy" Thanks!!

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

The dividends paid from these ETFs are from the cash dividends of the companies held in the index. What you are referring to is whenever a company pays a dividend, that amount is taken off their balance sheet and thereby reducing the value of the company. This is correct. However, good dividend growth stocks are cash flow positive and generate more cash and the dividend cycle continues.

Do you like KNG vs NOBL?. Since yield is higher and write covered calls out the money with KNG?

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

I'm not the biggest fan of covered calls on dividend stocks. The premiums are pretty low. I'd much prefer a combination of SCHD/DGRO and JEPQ. Or if you are dead set on having NOBL, you could have NOBL and add JEPQ to increase your yield.

[@juanserrano3297]

One good thing is that DGRW pays dividends monthly.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

A really great benefit

[@KGold53]

DGRW is forward-looking, DGRO is backward-looking. DGRW has outperformed DGRO, SCHD, and even SPY over the long-term. DGRW is best.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

done very well!

[@girldaddividendinvestor]

Very entertaining way of saying DGRW has more risk.

[@KGold53]

@@girldaddividendinvestor Strange comment. Didn’t think what I wrote was all that entertaining. 🤔 In response to your claim that DGRW has more risk, here are the facts. Over the past five years, DGRW Sharpe Ratio is .60, standard deviation is 17.14, and max drawdown is -19.41%. For DGRO, it’s .51, 17.53, and -21.61%. SCHD is .56, 18.08, and -21.55%. So, historically over the past half-decade, DGRW has better risk-adjusted returns, slightly less volatility, and sold off less than its competitors, DGRO and SCHD. If anything, DGRW has been less risky. It might not continue, but those are the facts.

[@Dan-Weston]

The index that DGRO select its investments from does have forward looking criteria so saying DGRO is only backwards looking is not accurate. Also to compare one ETF to another based on past performance is not a great approach to investing.

[@KGold53]

@@Dan-Weston It’s either coincident (exclusion of top 10% yields) or backward-looking (minimum 5 years of uninterrupted annual dividend growth). Edit: I do see that consensus earnings forecast has to be positive (excludes companies with forecasted losses?) and payout ratio of less than 75% is measured for the next 12 months. So that’s the “forward looking” part. Not much there.

Well that’s the cost for every $10k invested. Well Dgrw has outperformed but no idea it that will continue. Dgrw tracks a different index and pays monthly. Something you would want to personally determine. I prefer SCHD/DGRO as my core and add Dgrw as a satellite position.

I did some thinking on this very topic I have dgro but opted for DTD as a satellite... I use the overlap tool like you showed us and it's somewhere around 50% overlap... but DTD has like eight hundred and something companies in their assets.. so technically I'm getting exposure to 400 more companies with DTD and basically doubling down on the top 250 - 300 companies that they share together in the overlap..... anyways my question is even though there is a 50% and I would love to see that number smaller.. the quantity of these other companies (400 or so).. would it make sense and keeping both of these... in my head is basically like doubling down on the big ones and having more exposure to the others... don't know hopefully I made a wise decision😂
