I am a KZbin junkie and I am constantly watching investing videos and I have to say this is one of the best and most informative presentations I have seen in a long time. Thank you so much, Jake!! This is a must see video for every novice investor.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Really glad you enjoyed it and I'm also a youtube junkie :) Thanks for watching!!

[@TheDude79700]

Totally agree.

[@thecapone45]

Had to come back and comment because of the ending. Great, great message and very inspirational! It is indeed possible to achieve wealth in this country, you just have to work hard and stay disciplined. “Live like no one else today so you can live like no one else tomorrow.” As an immigrant in this country achieving financial stability, I couldn’t agree more. You can indeed build wealth!

exactly!!!

Divb and Fdvv are my picks to compare with SCHD. DIVB is for dividend paying and buybacks companies, and FDVV is like Fidelity version of SCHD and recently lowered ER to 0.15 from 0.29, all three have great total returns and similar yield

Ya both very interesting.

Thank you very much. Excellent Video Jake.... Always enjoy your work and educational process with each video you do. I appreciate your hard work for us. This video was right up my alley as I was looking at each of these ETF's (currently have SCHD in multiple accounts) and was really looking at DGRW & DGRO + thinking about adding VIG too. I am retired and wanted to expand a little into some good dividend ETF's. Thanks again.

Same. I love these like, almost fireside chats that he gives us. I really like them, the “let’s talk” sort of videos more than the ones that go over numbers. It gets me thinking. Like the ones where it gets more personal and he asks us what’s important to us, etc.

[@Jpsantos94]

Love your work and your explanations! My only question is, how would this compare to VTI or VT in a Roth IRA for a 30+ year time horizon?

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

I view them separate. VTI is great for broad exposure to the market. I own VTI in my Roth IRA. I plan to sell VTI in retirement to pay for my living expenses or rebalance into dividend ETFs whereas with these ETFs I buy them to hold and never sell because the goal is to live off the dividend.

[@Jpsantos94]

I guess my question is why don't you do this in your Roth IRA as well? Do you feel VTI and other broad market ETFs will outperform these dividend ETFs?@@DividendGrowthInvesting

[@omatha5430]

Jake thank you for sharing! what about asset overlap? are these four all well in this sense? thank you

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

There is going to be overlap but not as much as you would think. You can use this site to check for overlap: www.etfrc.com/funds/overlap.php

[@autobotdiva9268]

SCHD and VYM for the win in my portfolio. thought about adding VUG

[@FitnessHub-zk4yg]

Hey, why are you doing a 40/40/10/10 split, why not a 25/25/25/25 split? I know you're doing a core and satellite strategy, I'm just curious about the reason behind allocating 40% to SCHD and DRGO each and only 10% to VIG and DGRW each? Why are SCHD and DGRO your core, and why are VIG and DGRW your satellites?

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Sorry for the slow reply! I would suggest watching this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3bacpymd7CDi9E In this video I go over why.

[@1Mannco]

How bout VTI 40%...SCHD 40%...VGT 20%..and reinvest div while keep adding yearly/dca into VGT then sell VGT into SCHD when I retire.

[@Madchris8828]

I personally really like the idea of eventually using Dividends to cover most of my expenses one day, I don't know when or If i'll ever fully retire so in the meantime making more from not just my job is a win-win! Unfortunately I can't get anyone else I know really to consider the stock market. Apparently its all just gambling, and its better to just have fun at the Casino (almost the words used exactly to me)

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

My wife is from Germany and said she heard the same thing from her family and friends. I would suggest first learning and understanding what it means to invest. If you educate yourself and help others around you understand what it really means to invest, it makes it easier. We often fear what we don't understand. It starts with educating yourself then taking action on what you learn.

[@Madchris8828]

@@DividendGrowthInvesting perhaps I've not honestly explained it properly to people around me. Good food for thought. Thanks

[@shaikjadoo]

I have a question about the spreadsheet. Basic math. The yield starts roughly at 2.59% of portfolio value. By the time you get to 30 years the yield to portfolio value is 6.96% that sounds wrong. No matter what your costbasis is and how much the dividend was raised the yield for any perticular year is always roughly 2.59%. Am i missing something?

[@RamoWC]

This is the way to go, but because its so boring people will do the opposite.....LOL and i just want to say the clips in your vids are hilarious, always good to have a laugh.

[@mikesurel5040]

Savings rate and expenses are two of the easiest things you can control. Love the video. Still waiting for you to revisit your investing on leverage video. What would a home equity loan in 2020 look like if you put that money in a basket of stocks or ETFs like SCHD, VOO, DIVO, DGRO, etc look like now 3 years later? How would the yield on cost look? If you reinvested dividends would the various ETFs already be generating enough cash to cover the loan payment? Love the channel. Thanks

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Hey Mike! Thank you so much for saying that! I've had quite a few people comment on that leverage video this week. Maybe youtube is promoting it more now... Yeah that would be an interesting topic... If rates ever come down to around 0% like they were in 2020-2021, I think that strategy may work!

[@mikesurel5040]

@@DividendGrowthInvesting I have that one bookmarked and rewatch it again along with a similar video Ben Felix put out. It is a reminder to think outside the box and that debt is a tool (a potentially dangerous one) that can be, well, leveraged if used judiciously. It is a way to get what Ben refers to as time diversification.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

@@mikesurel5040 yeah I sometimes wish I did it back when rates were low. If we have another crisis we know the FED playbook… might be able to take advantage of it next time.

[@iurevych]

Note: yield on cost is calculated differently for DCA style of investing, since you’ll need to account for recurring contributions and stock price dynamics.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Correct! I should put together a spreadsheet to calculte YOC by DCAing.

[@brandonpotts5815]

hell yes! @@DividendGrowthInvesting

[@furytv5143]

I'm 22 years old, and I actually own all 4 of these ETFs in a TFSA (I live in Canada), what percentage split of these 4 ETFs would you recommend for the best diversification as well as the best dividend growth? I know numerically speaking going in 100% all into SCHD would yield the best results, but diversification is important, currently I'm doing 40% SCHD, 20% DGRO, 20% DGRW, 20% VIG, but after using your Dividend investment calculator I think I might switch to 40% SCHD, 40% DGRO, 10% DGRW and 10% VIG since that percentage allocation yields better portfolio and dividend growth over the long term than my current percentage allocation

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Well for diversification you’d want to underweight SCHD and overweight the others. For growth, it depends on your goals. Schd is a great balance of its yield and growth. The others are great for growth and diversification. I wouldn’t over think it too much. I’d personally do 40/40/10/10 like I show in the video and then adjust year by year as your goals change.

[@furytv5143]

Hey, I’m a Canadian investor as well. I have one question my friend, is it ok to have US stocks and etfs in a TFSA? To my knowledge you will get a 15% withholding tax on it.

Hello 👋 great content, I have what is probably a dumb question about your calculator I'm using, it says you can change column D to adjust the time horizon. Trying to adjust it for a 20year bit not familiar with Google sheets..any help is appreciated thx again.

[@Mr.-M-]

Great video! I’m 20 and in college and I just opened a roth ira. I plan to invest 400 a month into it and my holdings are 33/33/33 VOO QQQM and COSTCO. But i realized VOO and QQQM are overlapping so im thinking about tranfering VOO into more QQQM since it is more growth focused. What are your thoughts? I want to be on the route of dividend investing since money is earn from there is tax free. In my situation do you believe I should add SCHD and DGRO then proceed to invest 400 a month and add more satellites as my capital grows?

[@tiktokquotes1.066]

Well everybody considers voo or whatever s&p etf u have should be your foundation like I have the fidelity s&p 500 an xlk(technology sector) bu only have 7 shares in xlk an 22 in fidelity s&p. So my point is I wouldn’t put more in the technology sector then s&p bc it is more risk unless u have a high risk tolerance an for dividends I’m in Schd an vym it’s rly jus whatever dividend u want bc there is alot out there bu Schd is my main dividend etf

Thanks! Can you make an European version of these Dividend growth etfs? It would help me a lot. Thanks.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Yeah I need to do a European version. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching!

[@jdgolf499]

I'm not sure that SCHD should be in this comparison. While it is my largest individual holding, growth is not a main focus of the fund, which is why, like the other three funds, does not have "growth" in it's name. SCHD is also the only one of the three that doesn't have any of the "Big 7" companies included. I retired in June, and SCHD will be used to generate income, and the almost 4% dividend yield works great, matched with several individual dividend stocks. Now, for the "growth"portion of my portfolio, I hold DGRO along with some other funds and individual stocks.

[@razzberry2865]

Yea I always thought schd was a value etf; What growth etfs would you recommmend in addition to things like qqqm?

[@eplugplay8409]

Which etf would you choose if you were retiring in 15 years and maybe a chance in 10? I’m 41 and would love to retire in 10 years but realistically it’ll be when I’m 55 so not that much time. Schd good for compounding high yields?

Entirely depends on your goals. Could go either way. VTI is great to live off the 4% rule. If you want to live off your investments and not sell, you’d want to look for other ETFs like SCHD or DGRO for example

I'm looking to have a portfolio with a split with Growth ETFs of 50% (50% SPYG + 50% VGT - to rebalance these towards High dividend ETFs in the future) + another 50% in Dividend ETFs (50% SCHD+50% VYM - don't think it makes sense to overlap VYM with DGRO).
