SCHD Profile
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF is designed to provide investors with exposure to high dividend yielding U.S. companies known for their consistent dividend payments. The fund tracks an index specifically curated to measure the performance of U.S. stocks that not only offer high dividend yields but also demonstrate strong fundamental performance. The selection process emphasizes companies with a robust history of dividend payments and solid financial ratios compared to their peers.
To achieve its investment objective, the ETF allocates at least 90% of its net assets to stocks that are part of the underlying index. This index is carefully constructed to include companies that exhibit both attractive dividend yields and strong financial health. By focusing on these high-quality dividend payers, the fund aims to deliver a combination of income and capital appreciation to investors.
The fund’s strategy involves investing in established companies with a proven track record of returning value to shareholders through dividends. These companies are selected based on a range of financial metrics, ensuring that only those with strong fundamentals and consistent dividend performance are included. This approach seeks to offer investors a reliable income stream while maintaining exposure to well-established, financially sound businesses.
