I’m 64 and still working and love SCHD. Have other Div payment ETFs. Also have some of our portfolio in QQQM Msft Google Amzn to keep some growth for the future
@@douglash.8862 I feel like CEFs are not talked about enough if you are already retired. Picking the good ones is a challenge though. The high yields can eat into the NAV if you are not careful. I like USA - Liberty All-Star Equity with a 10% yield. You have to be able to handle volatility in the NAV though. There are other CEFs that pay nice monthly distributions. Pimco bond funds are an example (PDI, PMO, PAXS), which yield 10+%, pay monthly, and generally do not erode the NAV if you buy at historically high discounts. These would be a good addition to a ROTH portfolio to avoid the ordinary income taxes of bond funds.
Luv the ETFs. I own both SCHD and DGRO. SCHD is one of my cores in the managed portfolio. I also own VPU (utilities ETF), AMD tech but I also own an individual utility company like DUK.
Stocks is not only about anticipating moves based off trends but anticipating through participating behind real top performers and attain how they execute perfectly. coach Frost hilda take great care of my holdings giving me an edge to successful interest.
l've been getting suggestions to use a proper enlightened top tier, similar to your viewpoint. I’m trying to figure out your selected holdings at the moment
I've had majority of my holdings in ETFs, tech stocks and I've had 65% increase in my portfolio, especially with Nvidia, AMD P/E (price to earnings ratio) adding few others, Feel free to imitate my steps with a top performer.
I plan on living off dividends so Schd’s 3.5% yield is a better fit for me. Schd’s top ten holdings are nothing to brag about but they all grow their dividends every year as well.
Similar. I'm 71 and retired. I have SCHD 30%, IVV (same as VOO) 30%, and for growth I split SCHG, SMH, and JEPQ (plus 9.5% dividend!) equally 10% each. I also own a few stocks, NVDA, STRL, and VISA, which I owned before switching to an ETF portfolio, and kept for now.
Like always, great video. I prefer SCHD. If you compare the two, SCHD outperforms VIG for about 50 bps, which is not a lot, but it also has a higher dividend yield if you want/need income. I think they compliment each other, but not a replacement for one another.
SCHD is still the best. VYM, DGRO all decreased their yield this year. I would not include VIG just because it outperformed slightly SCHD. VIG has so many growth stock which lacks in dividend payment. I would rather add more VOO, VTI or SCHG and not VIG while continuing adding more SCHD.
Capital appreciation... look at the total return, not just yield. Microsoft increases its dividend every year but ield rarely goes up as stock appreciates.
At just after the 5:00 mark, you said the correct thing. VIG "compliments" SCHD. The headline makes it sound like you are replacing SCHD with VIG. Couldn't disagree more. The simple fact that MSFTand AAPL are the top holdings in VIG, proves that it is not a dividend focused fund. As a retiree, I don't want to wait 20 years for the yield of VIG to be sufficient.
I think technology is a primary reason why in recent times SCHD has underperformed its peers. But I don’t think that trend will continue over the next 10 years as much as others assume it will.
Thanks, Mark, for your interesting critique on SCHD, and your bull case on VIG. While I am long SCHD, I will take another look at VIG. However, VIG's dividend yield is pretty low for my purposes as a retired 72 year old investor. I can see the merits of investing in VIG for its dividend and capital gain growth potential especially for younger long-term investors. Good stuff!
I think you really hit on something here David. 1.8% is not enough to live on unless you have millions of dollars invested. Now I predict that you and I will live to 100+ so we’ll always need some growth, but I see VIG as a complementary piece to SCHD not a replacement.
In my opinion, VIG is loaded with magnificent seven and tech exposure. At some point, the overvaluation will revert to the mean. I equate VIG to VOO. SCHD is a different etf.At some point, value will rebound.
If you look at SCHD’s 5, 10, and Max charts, it has been trending upward since inception, and continues to do so. I’d pick SCHD every day of the week, especially if I need a rock solid ETF and my living depended on it.
Hi Mark! I just started following your channel. I really like your content and the fact that you're an accountant is refreshing. Because accountants don't buy the hype they buy the numbers. I own both SCHD and VIG. I bought VIG for the reason that you suggested. Thanks for the great content!
I can never catch a break in the stock market. I was up by nearly $4000 but I regret not selling sooner. Sometimes I think I am too impulsive and sometimes I think I'm not fast enough. The market is too volatile.
It's frustrating to be up by nearly $4000 and then see it disappear. The stock market can be so unpredictable and volatile, it's easy to feel like you're constantly second-guessing yourself. It's tough to know when to sell and when to hold, and even tougher when you feel like you're missing out on potential gains or taking unnecessary losses. It's a constant rollercoaster of emotions.
You're not alone in this, Jackson. Many investors face the same challenges and frustrations as you do. It's just part of the game. But it's important to remember that with the right mindset and strategy, you can improve your chances of success in the market.
If you're finding it tough to make buying and selling decisions on stocks, you might want to consider working with an experienced financial advisor or mentor. They can help you develop a strategy and provide expert guidance on when to buy and sell. I personally work with an expert who has helped me make high profits. If you're interested, feel free to do some research and find a financial advisor who can help you achieve your investment goals.
This is definitely considerable! Think you could suggest any professionals or advisors I can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation.

Not opposed to either. For growth, which seems to be coming mainly from tech over the past few decades, I'm in other combinations of stocks and ETFs. SCHD may be a useful alternative to aid in diversification into value.
I hold both SCHD and VIG. I'm holding my position in SCHD and actively dollar cost averaging my position in VIG. Both are smaller than my positions in VGT, VTI, and IVV though.
I'll stick to SCHD. I have plenty of VOO in my IRA (with 30% returns on it), so I'm reinvesting those dividends into SCHD now. By the time I'm ready to retire in 20-30 years I should be sitting pretty.
I agree, it just fuels your desire to save more and spend less, when you have them coming every month. Like VIG from this video. Also I would advise pulling up every chart and multiplying out the dividends to calculate your own yield. YF is often showing too low a number. They show 3% for SCHD so I was running around asking on videos, why invest for that low a payout? Wish I had adding together all those monthlies from the chart. thanks.
I have been holding VYM (Vanguard High Dividend Yield) for decade and happy with it. For perspective of average total annual return, it’s been behind SCHD and VIG but VYM holds the largest position in financials, which is very well complementary to my other larger holdings in tech sectors.
Even with a better DGR, the difference is not significant enough for VIG to catch up to SCHD's yield anytime soon. In fact, it would take decades. Additionally, you're not taking into account that SCHD makes adjustments every year. So while we may not like the moves that were made this year, they might make better moves next year.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks

SCHD is super cheap for what it gives you! I’m sticking with my 1,000 shares for at least 5 more years. I also have 500 shares of VIG in which I plan to long hold till retirement.
Mark thanks for the video. Definitely like the top 10 holdings. My 2 cents. VIG is a good large cap blend fund but I hold SPY for that. SCHD is my large value holding. I do agree that sCHD dividend growth seems to be trending down so I’m adding some DGRO which is also a large value fund. As far as VIG. I have plenty of tech like AVGO and MSFT in QQQ. And I hold individual stocks in others. I don’t tend to change ETFs based on short term performance or stock selection. If you hold passive ETFs you have to good with the methodology. Love your work man keep it up!
I have equal shares of SCHD and DGRO (because they complement each other very nicely with almost no overlap) and a smaller share of QQQ. The rest is in a treasury ETF and a corporate bond ETF. I’m recently retired so my portfolio isn’t overly exciting now.
Hi Mark. But don't these ETFs always self clean their house? If I put a 3 fund port together what could it be? I love only US stocks, heavy in teck love dividend kings and growth. No bonds or international. Any thoughts?
After researching and buying individual stocks over the years, it just so happens that several of mine are in the core holdings of VIG. I still have over 400 shares of schd but I stopped adding to it. I’m continuously learning and trying to do better so my investments are subject to change. I’m primarily buy and hold but when I dollar cost average sometimes it goes to different stuff. Some of my investments have done really well and I wish I bought more. I’ve been pretty disappointed in schd lately though.
I would like to know which would better (VIG or SCHD) over the next 20 years (versus the next 12 months) to just buy and hold for dividends and growth, and not have to worry about jumping in and out of when something better comes along - - seems they both have the same expense ratio I think 0.06% . I also already own VOO so plenty diversified there
Every time I look at VIG I struggle to find a reason to own it over VTI/VOO. Both of those outperformed it long term, and offer the same yield, so what's the point?
Thanks for the comparison. We are eyeing dividend ETFs as starting to buy into them as we are approaching retirement. We love the strategy of dividend income in retirement. We are currently total return investors currently but we are planning on moving into dividend investing rather than bonds in retirement.
Next 12 months? Should be looking at what the div payment would be in 12 years. SCHD starts out at almost 3.5 percent while vig is 1.83 %. While they might go toe to toe on total return, what will the monthly div hypothetically be in a long time in the future. How many years would it take for VIG to surpass schd monthly or quarterly dividend. it would probably would never happen. I would have to sell shares of vig.
I think the addition of BMY was to try and capture a run up and less about dividend growth. Not happy about the removal or Broadcom either, but I think that was the logic there. BMY was/is potentially undervalued. So it’s more of a growth move that a divided play. We’ll see, hopefully we’ll be getting better yields than last year
Okay, I know RUclipsrs need to crank out content but this is crazy. For the last two years we hear buy SCHD and hold forever from the dividend investing gurus on RUclips. So I have been buying SCHD for the last two years and I'm very happy with it. Now the "experts" say there is a better ETF so sell SCHD and buy this one instead. I know you are not providing investing advice but, yes, you are providing investing advice. I know I'm responsible for my own investing so I am not blaming you but I do rely on channels like yours for investing information. Bottom line: there has to be a time when you make a decision and stick with it. To be constantly changing ETFs or stocks because "this one is so much better" is just going to lead to confusion and changing horses midstream. Ultimately you just end up chasing the next best thing and this will lead to diminished returns.
Hello i am following your channel and recommendations about the ETF with dividends … i am 52 years old and looking to invest to prepare my retirement probably in the next 15 years … so i was going to invest probably 100K$ and i would like to ask you if in your opinion should i diversify between 40% SCHB + 40% Vanguard + 20% Bonds is a good strategy? Thanks in advance i know you are not financial advisors but just want to know your opinion? And thanks for your channel to help us
But VIG yields lower than SCHD by almost half, and with YOY inflation at 3.5%, it's not a fund that would get the individual ahead of CPI. Sticking with SCHD here.
The reason why I choose SCHD over VIG is because I already have a mutual fund that covers semiconductors in FSELX. SCHD diversities for me. Perhaps, my investing is wrong but that is my choice for now...
Great video. Thanks, Mark! I'm curious what your thoughts are when you feel like you get betrayed by an ETF like SCHD. You were close. :) Do you still see a lot of value in SCHD? Are you selling, or just compensating around it? It would be fun to see a Jerry Springer episode coming up.
I still prefer SCHD because of the higher yield 3.5 vs 1.8 of VIG. Yes it's slower in growth than VIG because of lack of technology. However, that's the point of having something like VOO, QQQM or VGT as a growth ETF beside SCHD. Each will do their own business. VIG is good if it is the only ETF in your investment portfolio (FYI, VOO has a 1.4 dividend yield ,, not far from VIG).
Which comes first: "D" or "G"? To be a "dividend" investment, IMHO, there must be a meaningful dividend to start with. The 30-day SEC yields of VIG and SCHD are 1.72% and 3.44%, respectively. Even if VIG's dividend grows considerably faster, it will take several years to catch that of SCHD and, perhaps, decades before cumulative distributions pass those of SCHD. If an investor want growth stocks that pay dividends, VIG may be the way to go. However, if (s)he seeks dividends that grow, SCHD is the way to go.
I love that Schwab has shown a willingness to do share splits (stock splits). They did this in March 2022 SCHG, SCHB, SCHX, SCHX, and SCHH. This is evidence that Schwab could do a share split for SCHD if the price gets too high.
It is but the market grows faster than compounding and if you are young waiting for your small account to compound to something meaningful it is likely to be a decision one regrets if they didn't diversify focus on growth as well. Best just not to have all the eggs in one basket but a balance based on acceptable risk for the individual.
There has been stock appreciation as well… look at the total returns not just dividend yield. You’re also paying income tax on that 5.27 instead of qualified dividends. This is just not a fully fleshed out understanding of finances.
Great video on this topic. I already own VIG and it is out performing my SCHD on capital as well. I am thinking of adding one more and not contributing to schd any longer just VIG. I guess I'm looking for that growth as well, with schd I think is only dividend. good insight on this. Lookin into it further. thank u

Same here I’m holding SCHD to diversify from growth
Yep!
same here; higher yield schd and regardless of DGR on some in VIG the yields are microscopic
This. It’s about balance.
As a retired person going to disagree, funds to pay bills now more important than growth in the future. Younger person go for it.

I prefer the not so popular DIA over SCHD, DIA has stood the test of time imo
I would like to know which would better (VIG or SCHD) over the next 20 years (versus the next 12 months) to just buy and hold for dividends and growth, and not have to worry about jumping in and out of when something better comes along - - seems they both have the same expense ratio I think 0.06% . I also already own VOO so plenty diversified there

Mark, thanks for the great video. I'm curious what resource you use to get an ETF's Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR) over various time frames?
VOO VGT SMH SCHD I’m already tech heavy in 3 ETFs so SCHD adds a little more diversification.
I like DGRO
Every time I look at VIG I struggle to find a reason to own it over VTI/VOO. Both of those outperformed it long term, and offer the same yield, so what's the point?
SCHD 16.38 followed by DGRW 16.22 followed by VIG 14.73 when yield is added to 5yr CAGR. Tech has outperformed and is due for a reversion to the mean.
do I prefer SCHD or VIG ? I prefer DGRW. It's the 'KING' of Dividend growth funds 👍
Most of my equity is in VTI, which seems to overlap a lot with VIG. Would you still recommend VIG in this situation?
Thanks for the comparison. We are eyeing dividend ETFs as starting to buy into them as we are approaching retirement. We love the strategy of dividend income in retirement. We are currently total return investors currently but we are planning on moving into dividend investing rather than bonds in retirement.
Next 12 months? Should be looking at what the div payment would be in 12 years. SCHD starts out at almost 3.5 percent while vig is 1.83 %. While they might go toe to toe on total return, what will the monthly div hypothetically be in a long time in the future. How many years would it take for VIG to surpass schd monthly or quarterly dividend. it would probably would never happen. I would have to sell shares of vig.
I think the addition of BMY was to try and capture a run up and less about dividend growth. Not happy about the removal or Broadcom either, but I think that was the logic there. BMY was/is potentially undervalued. So it’s more of a growth move that a divided play. We’ll see, hopefully we’ll be getting better yields than last year
Take a look at USFR.
VIG is a core holding of mine. Solid investment 👍💰💰💰
SCHG is King for me!!😊
what about the newer CGDV ETF ran buy Capital Group?
CGDV expense ratio is a little high, 0.33% compared to VIG, 0.08%.
good research Mark
Okay, I know RUclipsrs need to crank out content but this is crazy. For the last two years we hear buy SCHD and hold forever from the dividend investing gurus on RUclips. So I have been buying SCHD for the last two years and I'm very happy with it. Now the "experts" say there is a better ETF so sell SCHD and buy this one instead. I know you are not providing investing advice but, yes, you are providing investing advice. I know I'm responsible for my own investing so I am not blaming you but I do rely on channels like yours for investing information.
Bottom line: there has to be a time when you make a decision and stick with it. To be constantly changing ETFs or stocks because "this one is so much better" is just going to lead to confusion and changing horses midstream. Ultimately you just end up chasing the next best thing and this will lead to diminished returns.
Wow, I guessed you would VYM... that's a great income fund for me.
how do you compare drgo vs vig
Hello i am following your channel and recommendations about the ETF with dividends … i am 52 years old and looking to invest to prepare my retirement probably in the next 15 years … so i was going to invest probably 100K$ and i would like to ask you if in your opinion should i diversify between 40% SCHB + 40% Vanguard + 20% Bonds is a good strategy? Thanks in advance i know you are not financial advisors but just want to know your opinion? And thanks for your channel to help us
Mark, what do you think about TGVG compared VIG?
SCHD all the way plus it's cheaper and you can buy more shares.
Surprised the choice wasn't DGRO. That's my favorite.
They sold AVGO which yields 1.7 and bought BMY which yields 5%. Dividend growth secured.
But VIG yields lower than SCHD by almost half, and with YOY inflation at 3.5%, it's not a fund that would get the individual ahead of CPI. Sticking with SCHD here.
What do you think of CPSM ETF?
The reason why I choose SCHD over VIG is because I already have a mutual fund that covers semiconductors in FSELX. SCHD diversities for me. Perhaps, my investing is wrong but that is my choice for now...
Good Day!
Thanks for watching Matthew
I really like VIG & DGRO over SCHD now. Never go wrong with some solid etfs.
How do you feel bout DGRW whats the difference? I'm thinking of adding DGRO, can't understand the difference
All solid ETFs
@@MK-ut8ik I like DGRW but heavier towards Tech and higher expense fee
@@MarkRoussinCPA yes just noticed that higher fees. thanks Mark! great channel!
I would say they clearly they have some knowledge which is why they made that move
Great video. Thanks, Mark! I'm curious what your thoughts are when you feel like you get betrayed by an ETF like SCHD. You were close. :) Do you still see a lot of value in SCHD? Are you selling, or just compensating around it? It would be fun to see a Jerry Springer episode coming up.
When you replace low current yield stocks with double + yield you get INSTANT dividend growth for the portfolio. That's how the algorithm works
You have to be careful or you end up with a bunch of VZ.......and nobody wants that....
Hey mark, thanks for your videos!
In your opinion, do you think VIG or VOO is a better ETF for price appreciation over the next 20 years?
VOO. Can't go wrong with a straight S&P 500 etf. My primary 401k is S&P 500 and I put a little side money into SCHD.
I still prefer SCHD because of the higher yield 3.5 vs 1.8 of VIG. Yes it's slower in growth than VIG because of lack of technology. However, that's the point of having something like VOO, QQQM or VGT as a growth ETF beside SCHD. Each will do their own business. VIG is good if it is the only ETF in your investment portfolio (FYI, VOO has a 1.4 dividend yield ,, not far from VIG).
Which comes first: "D" or "G"? To be a "dividend" investment, IMHO, there must be a meaningful dividend to start with. The 30-day SEC yields of VIG and SCHD are 1.72% and 3.44%, respectively. Even if VIG's dividend grows considerably faster, it will take several years to catch that of SCHD and, perhaps, decades before cumulative distributions pass those of SCHD. If an investor want growth stocks that pay dividends, VIG may be the way to go. However, if (s)he seeks dividends that grow, SCHD is the way to go.
VIG is fine if you’re not already exposed to the technology sector which are significantly represented in many ETFs including IVV/SPY 😊
I can buy two SCHD for the price of one VIG so I can twice the dividend with SCHD
I love that Schwab has shown a willingness to do share splits (stock splits). They did this in March 2022 SCHG, SCHB, SCHX, SCHX, and SCHH. This is evidence that Schwab could do a share split for SCHD if the price gets too high.
If compounding is important, isn’t getting the compound snowball early in investing important? So having 25 years of compounding dividends is better?
It is but the market grows faster than compounding and if you are young waiting for your small account to compound to something meaningful it is likely to be a decision one regrets if they didn't diversify focus on growth as well. Best just not to have all the eggs in one basket but a balance based on acceptable risk for the individual.
I am still holding SCHD for now.
VTI?
Very diversified, but too diversified for me
You could make even more just sitting in cash at 5.27 percent instead of 3.59%
There has been stock appreciation as well… look at the total returns not just dividend yield. You’re also paying income tax on that 5.27 instead of qualified dividends. This is just not a fully fleshed out understanding of finances.
Not for me. Stock picking method of VIG is inferior compared to SCHD.
Technology=Growth. VIG >SCHD
Isn't it interesting that the videos promoting SCHD over VIG are about ten fold? At least from my Google AI drip feed?
Great video on this topic. I already own VIG and it is out performing my SCHD on capital as well. I am thinking of adding one more and not contributing to schd any longer just VIG. I guess I'm looking for that growth as well, with schd I think is only dividend. good insight on this. Lookin into it further. thank u
If you want growth, why don’t you go for VOO, FXAIX, VTI or SCHG?
BIto and MSTY the best
You can get 2x the shares with SCHD so it’s a better option, no? Similar growth rates and Returns. SCHD will compound faster
$SYLD all day!
