Is SCHD the BEST Dividend ETF for 2025?

[@scott1441]

SCHD and SCHG are the ETFs to DCA-low costs and great returns

[@javinbhalla]

Isn't SCHD and VGT combo better?

[@user-dz2pz3ol7p]

HELL YEAH IVE GOT 2300 OF SCHD AND 1100 OF SCHG

[@a32tl]

SCHD & SCHG are my two favorites. Getting ready for that 4th quarter dividend payout on 12/16/24.

[@user-dz2pz3ol7p]

@a32tl just bought another thousand 💪💪💪

[@RB-je3yj]

All you need is 2: VGT/SCHD SCHG/SCHD Schg/JEPQ

[@PIIforever]

I just started buying SCHD and will continue to buy shares at least once a week.

[@claudiatran3513]

Yes I’m all in schd!!!

[@Draylis64]

SCHD / DGRO Love it!

[@naZ11911]

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC analysis once again ❤

[@MarkRoussinCPA]

Wow, thank you!

[@felixruizjr.6281]

Started trading last month DIVB and SPDG Dividend ETF’s with the lowest expense ratios of 0.05% so far looking good. DIVB YTD daily total return of 25.99 % SPDG YTD daily total return of 23.26%

[@formerlyknownashammerofthegods]

SCHD/JEPQ might be a good combo.

[@nguyenphuongchang3925]

Can you please let us know why?

[@formerlyknownashammerofthegods]

@ SCHD for dividend growth and JEPQ for share appreciation and dividend yield.

[@PhD_Angel]

Agreed!

[@international_dividend]

But you're giving up almost all tech/AI growth. I'd add VUG, SCHD, QQQM, or similar to make it a great trifecta.

[@kevindrinon2600]

I have SCHD as my largest holding. My next largest holding is SPLG (S&P 500 ETF). Third cornerstone is a dual holding combo of QQQM and JEPQ for the Tech Portion Growth as well as monthly dividends for the latter. I also have DGRW for overall Total Return with smaller monthly dividends and COWZ for my High Cash Flow ETF which also has a close to 2% dividend. I also own MAIN as a BDC for high monthly dividends - a great performer. So in summary I trust SCHD partnering with tech ETFs for balance as well as SPLG for the S&P 500 and a BDC for monthly dividends for more pop. I'm considering moving some investments in 2025 to Sm Cap AVUV and Mid Cap (still haven't decided on the best Mid Cap ETF still researching. Feel free to comment anyone on what you think of my strategy. Still Loving SCHD.

[@CH-ku1qe]

Great video and much agreed with your analysis 👍

[@MarkRoussinCPA]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@davidwysocki1004]

Thanks, Mark, for your spot-on update analysis on whether SCHD remains a good long-term investment for dividend-focused investors. I remain long SCHD for its diversified dividend growth and dividend yield focus. As an alternative to individual tech stocks (although I have owned Apple since 2013), I have invested in the high-yielding closed end fund, BST.

[@kurniawanms2]

yes, SCHD is my tech heavy portfolio hedge along with energy stocks

[@francopedone4180]

Long on SCHD and accumulating...the aspect I prefer the most is that it rebalances every year so you get to best of the current best each year....doing well, keep adding each month a fixed amount and have powder stashed for those eventual big dips....cant let a good crisis go to waste!!

[@Action_Clips_CODM]

Short answer: YES SCHD still is best ETF

[@fecoo77]

Thanks for your insights Mark! 🔥I'm just planning my 2025 ETF portfolio, so your content couldn't have come at a better time!

[@MarkRoussinCPA]

Glad it was helpful!

[@prateek2577you]

Hi Mark, based on the same theme of yield, dividend growth and total return can you compare etfs like SCHD, VIG, DGRO and FDVV

[@MarioChapa-m7d]

Schd/dgro combo

[@nunyabidness1972]

Ditto!

[@international_dividend]

Same, with VUG the third member of the core.

[@darrenholmes1398]

If your dividend ETF has growth in the name, has a tech focus, and has a 1.something % yield, just buy a growth fund or the S&P

[@MichaelLeach-gu6dx]

Is the Svol a good etf for mating with a conserved etf

[@punisher6659]

What about DGRO? I have plenty of SCHD. Just asking.

[@andreyshulgin5984]

The best combination: SCHD/DGRO 50/50 for value sector of any portfolio, with only 19% overlap by weight. 💯

[@nunyabidness1972]

I hold both! DGRO has 417 holdings vs 103 for SCHD. DGRO is heavier in I.T. and utilities, while SCHD is heavier in energy and communication services. 19% overlap between the funds. I think they compliment each other VERY well! These are the only two dividend funds I want. But if I could only pick one, it would have to be SCHD. I really like the selection formula for it.

[@punisher6659]

@@andreyshulgin5984 Thanks

[@stevesmith5140]

DGRW is my tech heavy combo with SCHD. DGRW has more tech than DGRO.

[@euclidesdiaz2822]

What is your opinion about XLP?

[@CaitlinColeman-e3q]

Thanks for the breakdown! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

[@deidrahines3746]

I DCA 10 or 20 a day Schd

[@christopherzorthian8182]

I agree

Mark SCHD Roussin

[@MarkRoussinCPA]

Hahaha

[@mikem4490]

Schd is a great choice. How about vtv also?

[@OnmywaytoFI]

I compliment vtv with schd. Not much overlap

[@Pozela]

It took almost 10 minutes to know it’s SCHG

[@alid-o1g]

I am seeing this as a hedge against trumps policy of tariffs which might increase inflation n keep the interest rate high

[@Bur6212]

Except the schd return will continue to grow while savings accounts rates will continue to shrink…

[@Chris-wb7wf]

1st in class today

[@Chris-wb7wf]

beat the bots... its gonna be a good day

[@owenhill-vf7ko]

I retired early from investing. While dividends are nice don't neglect growth stocks or you will be sorry 😂

[@MarkRoussinCPA]

Absolutely, balance is key

[@PIIforever]

You gotta clean up the spam bots!

[@charlielipthratt7291]

It would be nice to see less. But at the same time, it helps increase the stats for all the finance youtubers.

[@MarkRoussinCPA]

I do it all manually. Its crazy

[@martinmoeller1000]

Inadequate regulation of the financial industry led to the catastrophe of 2008. Here we go again. When will America learn that Republican administrations are consistently worse for the economy than Democratic administrations?

[@willd4731]

Unless you are literally a retiree depending on dividend income to survive, you're an idiot going into SCHD at the measly 3.5 return For crying out loud, you're better off with savings accounts at 4% right now then this. Much better off, in our current Trump economy, to be in growth stocks, tech, mag7, or at minimum State Street cyclical ETFs like XLF, XLE, etc.

[@stantonfriedman]

It appreciated 19% YTD to

[@ophirmayer1]

3.5% is not a dividend, it's a joke. I hold schd but thinking switching to something that yields 5% at least, and appreciates. Schwab fell asleep at the wheel with their behemoth fund.
