What balance? VT has basically everything in SCHD and VTI

Mentions:#VT#SCHD#VTI

If you want stability better to go bond. SCHD has the same risk profile as vti. So you really only getting slower growth over the long term including schd. I’ll shift that to higher growth like vti

Mentions:#SCHD

Solid choice! But maybe mix it up with VTI and SCHD for a bit more balance in your portfolio.

Mentions:#VTI#SCHD

I'd go 60% VTI (total US market), 20% VXUS (international), 20% SCHD (dividend growth for stability).VGT is great but heavy tech concentration; this spreads risk while keeping growth potential. Good luck!

Damn, I've been outed. ;) A lot of truth to that. I put my adult children into VOO/SCHD in 2019. 2019 is when I bought my first canna stock (Acreage. Sigh.) and got in much more deeply after I joined this sub. (older account) I am grateful for my children when I see their portfolios over time, and shutdown my Fidelity app when I see my cannabis Potfolio. ;)

I’m 48, and slowly moving more of my assets into SCHD. It represents a 15% portion of my portfolio. The remainder is VOO, SCHG, and BRKB (in that order).

Yeah. I could work doing whatever I actually enjoy (150-180k annually) and with something like SCHD I'd still get income even with a market downturn. Don't have to sell at the bottom to cover expenses and still get some price appreciation over time. My house is paid for and I have no debt. I'd take the income and just be comfy.

Good question: I'm in between. Let me explain. Over the past 20 years I've sworn off stocks for ETFs so many times I can't count. And always for the same reason: *single-issue risk.* What it that? Musk tweets something stupid, Tesla drops 10%. Oracle doesn't meet expected earnings, it drops 15%. Enron, "the smartest guys in the room", weren't: bankruptcy. **So since March I've only done ETFs.** If you ever catch me trading a single stock, I want you to shoot me. Please. And sure some ETFs have big drops, but they're ones I don't touch: crypto and cannabis. Other than that, ETFs just don't move that quickly. And why? Because they're baskets of stocks, right? (For the most part.) So if an ETF holds 100 stocks, and one goes to zero, how much should the ETF drop? Just 1%. (Aside from sector-sympathy that might drag some of the others down too.) Why don't I use SPY and QQQ and the like? 1 - because I'm not an indexer by nature, because: 2 - I like to find things *that are going up*, and trade those. But don't get me wrong, if SPY or QQQ were going up fast enough to screen-in to how I screen, then I'd trade them. I recently traded IWM, the Russell 2000, because of that. Now maybe let me expand your mind a bit: *Do you know how many ETFs there are in the US?* **4,300!** Four **THOUSAND** and three hundred. But you only hear about a dozen of them, don't you? VT, VTI, SCHD, VOO, IVV, VXUS, maybe ITOT, like that. *Did you know that* [momentum in equity prices persists](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0927538X18303998?via%3Dihub#preview-section-references)*?* It does. For 1, 2, 3, even 6 months or more. Now, what if we put those 2 things together and looked for **ETFs with momentum**? And then instead of *buying* them, buy **LEAPS Calls** on them. Deep ITM LEAPS Calls act as *share substitutes* and give us **leverage**. Let me know if you're interested in hearing more.

SCHD SCHY SCHB all equal split DCA over 2 years would be my go if it has to be all stock 300k just my opinion not advice and those ETFs are not absolute and interchangeable VOO VYM VYMI or SPY DIA VEA and so on so forth

Depending on a single company for that type of strategy is risky. If you want to pursue the strategy then get a dividend etf like SCHD or something similiar.

My 1st Portfolio I’m 30 and new to investing, and I’ve been literally overwhelmed by all the options that are available for me to invest in. After a lot of research i have decided to stick to ETFs for the moment.. Please help me analyze my portfolio.. My monthly DCA budget would be 200 USD (300 usd exceptional case) . Portfolio X 1. VOO 2. VXUS 3. BND 4. GLDM 5. SMH I want to include QQQM and SCHD too but I’m not sure because of the overlap..

If you are aiming for the long term, I think Meta, Amazon, and Google stock would do ok, or invest in ETFs like VOO or SCHD for dividends.

Mentions:#VOO#SCHD

I would swap out SCHD for QQQI. QQQI provides better capital appreciation plus over a 13% monthly dividend. Thats if you need the income, even if you didnt and reinvested the dividends, this should perform better than VT

Mentions:#SCHD#QQQI#VT

Probably nothing new. Buying dips on core positions. Good chunk of a gold ETF. Probably more NLR and IBIT if they dip further. Steady contributions to VOO and SCHD. Past few years have been mostly amazing on individual stocks but trying to get more conservative with my investments.

why not buy an SCHD or like since they would have no pension income

Mentions:#SCHD

SCHD and other potent dividend et funds. With no pension thus could be a good income strategy. They could reinvest all the dividends till they retire

Mentions:#SCHD

I got VTI for total market exposure and some SCHD for dividends. For individual stocks, I’m holding Apple and Nvidia too, but I’ve been slowly adding Microsoft and a bit of Tesla for growth. Thinking about sprinkling in some international ETFs for diversification because U.S. heavy portfolios can feel risky long-term. Your S&P position sounds solid, and honestly, it’s hard to beat that simplicity. I like your plan to build up Apple, Amazon, and Nvidia, they’re still strong plays.

Mentions:#VTI#SCHD

Almost in the exact same situation. SGOV is great for a safe place to park your money. Here's the rub... You get excited by the state tax exemption, which is huge in NJ. However, it's still ordinary dividends. This isn't something that gets brought up enough. If you live in NY or NJ, chances are you are high enough income that you still get nailed on these ordinary dividends. That's why I'm currently looking for something fairly conservative that pays Qualified Dividends. SCHD or ADX is an easy one but also exploring alternatives.

FDVV, FDRR, VYM, VYMI, SCHD, DGRO...any can be used. Pick what you want. The "general consensus" is to keep it simple. Why have multiple funds when 1 is fine.

FDVV and SCHD only have an 18% overlap. Is there a reason not to buy both from a diversification perspective? Before it was one vs the other when there was more overlap. I’m incorporating dividends as part of an overall strategy.

Mentions:#FDVV#SCHD

How much does he have? That probably matters as much as how he invested. If he has $500,000 then you could just do an SPYI/SCHD mix and collect $3,000-5,000 a month in dividends and be relatively fine.

Mentions:#SPYI#SCHD

Tell your parents you're only going to invest in broad market ETFs like QQQM, SCHD, and VOO. See if that will convince them.

Honestly man as long as you put your money towards anything that’s not going to die by your retirement age you will be fine. Find stuff you want to put money in, when you’re a share holder in a company you are a partial owner. So what would you want to own? What do you think has long term value? The most important part of how you invest especially at your age is consistently dollar cost averaging into the market. Daily, weekly, monthly, etc. find out an amount of money you can consistently invest until retirement age. Most people do weekly or monthly. It doesn’t matter how much it is. Just put something in consistently. The idea is you don’t want to skip putting money into it at all, and the older you get hopefully you can increase what you’re consistently putting into the market. If you really just want to know what exactly to put your money into and don’t care about buying specific companies, just buy ETFs or indexes like SPY, SCHD, VOO, QQQ, etc. Regardless you’re doing well man. Don’t look for any get rich quick schemes. The goal is to set yourself up for an easy and hopefully early retirement. It will take decades. The market is a time game brother. The sooner you’re in the better.

Little advice - SCHD is for old men. You don't have an old mans account. Do some research I'm sure you'll find a more creative way to generate alpha. Amazon comes to mind.

Mentions:#SCHD

For RMDs, safety is key. A bond-heavy portfolio (70-80%) with some equities is a solid foundation. Consider breaking this into: 1. Cash buffer: 1-2 years of distribution needs in money markets/HYSA/short-term CDs 2. Core portfolio: Bond ladder (individual bonds or ETFs like BND, SCHZ) plus quality dividend stocks or ETFs (VYM, SCHD) 3. Inflation protection: Small TIPS allocation and possibly I-bonds (annual limit applies) Since they have expenses covered by pensions/SS, this money can be more preservation-focused. Tax considerations are crucial - if they don't need all RMDs for expenses, consider Roth conversions or QCDs to charities to manage tax impact.

DCA into spy. DCA into SCHD. DCA into VOO DCA into QQQ for heavier tech exposure. Do 1K in each a week, 200$ a trading day

Mentions:#SCHD#VOO#QQQ

I have found that a ranking methodology similar to the methodology used by SCHD is a good foundation for analysis. Of course, your objectives may not be aligned with those of SCHD, so you might want to choose a different set of metrics to rank and compare. I had success with this method to identify WIRE (before it went private with a sale above market). Of course that’s just an anecdote, not advice. Studying the strategies (index methodology) of certain ETFs can help you determine an analysis strategy that meets your objectives.

Mentions:#SCHD

SCHD is completely irrelevant if you already have a total market index.

Mentions:#SCHD

For my younger 20 something’s I suggest 50 SCHG 20 SCHD 20 VTI and 10 SCHY. Similar ETFs work too. I’d ditch the individual holdings until you have much larger core holdings. The Schwab products are low cost and adjust their holdings periodically. The key is to keep investing and let compounding work. Select dividend invest for all and rebalance as you add dollars to your account. Never panic as sooner or later there will be 20-30% correction. Ride it out and keep buying. Reevaluate every 5-10 years.

For me, BRK is my medium sized downturn hedge. I am planning a 1 year expenses cash + 25% VXUS + 45% VTI + 15% BNDW + 15% BRKB. The premise is that BRKB will buy companies if we see a moderate-to-significant recession as well as market sentiment will flip faster than I can react, driving dollars from tech to 'safe havens' like BRK and SCHD purely on sentiment. Yes BRK will drop too, but the combo of market sentiment and their generally safer assets and their value philosophy make it my medium-recession hedge. 1 year cash + 15% world bonds is my severe recession hedge. No, it wont outlast a 10-30 year recession, but between cutting expenses, willingness to sell some assets at a loss, and likelihood of another 30 year recession, I'm ok with that. This also turns into roughly 60/40 US/international exposure and a 85/15 equity to bond ratio which are reasonable ratios to hedge against various other factors.

I have a portion of capital at work in an income generation account. I will occasionally write calls or open CSPs on these  HIMU - 30% allocation (Muni fund - no options chain) SNSXX - 30% allocation (I use this money market fund as collateral for CSPs) F - 10% allocation ARCC - 10% allocation  SVOL 5% allocation (I actively hedge this position to protect against NAV erosion) SCHD 10% allocation - modest capital appreciation IBIT 5% yes I know. :) Vol.premium usually attractive.

That plan was my original thought as well. I'm not anti-dividend as some people in these threads (I have SCHD/SCHY in my IRA, an income fund in my 401k, and my taxable is almost all individual dividend stocks), but rather the specifc REIT and sector fund you selected as why I would put that 20% into FXAIX combined with you being mostly risk adverse.

Amazon is up 10.25% over the past year. So ... more than five times better. SCHD has been pure trash.

Mentions:#SCHD

SCHD ... truly the most inexplicable of all investing decisions. Nothing like having a total return over the past year of about 2%. SGOV or HYS wildly outperformed it thus far in 2025.

What point are you arguing exactly about the S&P? I don’t own any SCHD as I don’t care for their methodology.

Mentions:#SCHD

https://testfol.io/?s=dKZMDq5NNFD The S&P500 investor has higher dividend growth and has more money in their pocket every month, as well as a higher value portfolio. How does that sound bad to you? Because the share number is different? Did you become 3x richer when SCHD did a 1:3 stock split? Of course not. That would be stupid.

Mentions:#SCHD

All the other popular ETFs are open ended funds , VOO, VTI , VUG , SCHD , IVV, ITOT, SCHB, SCHX this really just brings QQQ inline with the other most popular ETFs I really see no reason to vote no on it especially if you hold one of the above funds you already own open ended fund what QQQ wants to convert too. It cuts the expense ratio 10% ; its seems weird to complain they should have cut it more then vote no and pay a higher expense ratio

Add a little BND and that’s it? SCHD is still decent to hold due to the companies that give consistent divs. Especially when you’re about to retire, or already in retirement. These constant divs help with income.

Mentions:#BND#SCHD

Remove SCHD, DRGO, BND. Replace by a growth fund like VUG, VGT, SPMO. At 33, it’s time to be agressive and grow your wealth.

Focus on total return and set hard rules so a few high-yield names can’t wreck your principal. What helped me after a big drawdown: cap any single risky dividend name to 2–3% and the whole “yield” sleeve to \~10–15%. Use clear sell triggers: dividend cut, FCF payout >85–90%, net debt/EBITDA creeping past \~3–4, or interest coverage slipping below \~3. Track IRR, not just dividends; if total return lags T‑bills for 4–6 quarters, rotate. For steadier income, I keep a core in SCHD/JEPI and park near-term cash in T‑bills or short-term Treasuries. If your loan rate is high, paying it down is a near risk-free return; I’d prioritize that over adding more high-risk yield. If taxable, harvest the loss to offset gains and up to $3k ordinary income. I screen in Koyfin, sanity‑check payout risk with Simply Safe Dividends, and use Ask Edgar to quickly pull debt terms and red flags from filings and transcripts. Bottom line: judge by total return and enforce risk limits, not headline yield.

This is the average r/SCHD poster

Mentions:#SCHD

My thought process and approach combines a couple things you've touched on. I have one taxable brokerage set up as a short-term/defensive portfolio. I initially considered what you're doing with 3-4 years in a money market, but I felt like I didn't need to be quite that conservative. I have *one* year of essential expenses parked in a rolling ladder of treasury bills, and then 3-4x that amount in defensive investments. Those investments include various flavors of municipal bonds, a broad taxable bond index position just for diversity's sake, lower-volatility/dividend-yielding ETFs (HDV, SCHD), and defensive sector equity ETFs (XLU, VDC). My money market position, that those investments drip into, is then just a discretionary pile of cash that I can do whatever with. Maybe go towards my long-term investment account, or cover expenses, home improvement, vacation, etc. The intent is to eek out a bit more return than a money market, and give up some long-term total return in exchange for stability, while being relatively tax efficient (qualified dividends, and tax-exempt bond interest).

The problem is that you have to be sure of such a drawdown occuring, and even then SCHD doesn't really offer any better downside protection in a market selloff compared to SPY. They basically fell the same amount in 2022 and 2025 but SPY/QQQ rebound much harder. SCHD has been flat for half a decade. If you are 70 years old I could maybe see the justification but otherwise just buy and hold SPY, and add QQQ on dips

Chiming in with the "dump SCHD, DGRO, and BND" folks. These are not what a young person needs to grow their portfolio for retirement. I know you say you like the criteria used to pick the holdings in SCHD and DGRO and you want to favor those types of companies. That's value investing and it can be a good choice. But you have better options than SCHD and DGRO. Check out: RWL, VTV, FFLV, DVY, CGVV, and PVAL. I own PVAL and love it, but think all of these are great value funds. Also, you haven't mentioned this aspect of your plan, but if you haven't already, I would ditch Robinhood for Fidelity, Schwab, or Vanguard. Robinhood may have a great interface and some excellent features, but it also really tends to gamify investing and lure people into risky and advanced stuff that can get them into trouble.

I’d go VOO, FTEC, and SCHD/DGRO

Dump SCHD, DRGO and BND. The first two is all you need during the accumulation phase of your investing journey. When you retire add a little of BND and then your set.

That’s it, if you don’t want to always be managing your money. No need for a fiduciary advisor unless you want the security of having that sort of “professional” opinion

I am, but in stocks that are at a normal p/e like CAG , HRL, bax, or any other stock that is being looked over. There is so many stocks that need some attention even ETFs like iwm and SCHD. People need to look into these and not just buy into the shiny objects. Save your portfolios. Longer looking profits are the way.

I dunno - just used ChatGPT and felt like I accomplished more than I expected to - then checked NVDA after hours, currently about +5%. I would love to see Burry on CNBC. Another thing to consider 1 yr returns FTEC vs. SCHD (almost no tech) +20.7% vs. -5.97% - that is like real lifestyle differences returns. lol!!

They told me SCHD was the safest 🤡

You're in your early 20s you don't need a single dollar in SCHD

VT - indexed asset appreciation BND - some bond exposure adds stability to the portfolio SCHD - long term dividend growth

I say raise rates. Even at these levels HYSA outperforming RSP SCHD IWM.

What you're saying is better achieved through factor investing. Basically, you keep VOO/VTI as a major portion of your stock investments, and then add tilts like value, dividends, small cap, sectors like real estate, etc. So you can have something like 50% VTI, 20% VXUS, 10% VTV/SCHD, 10%VB/VBR, 10% VNQ, etc. That way you still get some gains from growth/overall market, but tilt your investments to be less top heavy.

even SCHD tanking

SCHD is good for people with lots of money. Do SCHG

Mentions:#SCHD#SCHG

I also recommend VTI VXUS BND + GLD + FBTC + BRKB and if feeling conservative, SCHD

If you want my personal thoughts If you know absolutely nothing Find a good ETF (VOO, SPY, SCHD) Find a blue chip company (Apple, google, nvidia, amazon) Find a speculative and limited hedge (Gold, silver, palladium, btc) Buy regularly with a reoccurring investment and forget it

Behavioral controls are important too. To help mitigate my losses I only re-gamble half of my winnings from options. The other half buys SCMB to set aside my taxes and SCHD/JEPQ for the rest to give me dividend yielding assets. I can go to zero on all my options money and be forced to wait for a dividend to start gambling again. All trading is just psychological. The numerically optimal thing to do just pushes you to take risks.

Im 24 what should I do Qqq 55% Spy 10% Jepi 15% O 10% SCHD 10%

Personally I would buy SCHD for dividend and growth with 4k and trade higher time frame order blocks with 4k, do whatever I want with the rest. Done.

Even the *most* conservative timeline to retire like retiring in 1966 and living through the worst period of inflation and poor market returns in the 1970s, still youre fine withdrawing more than a fund like SCHD offers today. And in every other scenario without that inflation rate for a *decade*, youre living off way more. The dividend only investor in that timeline? Constantly eroding purchasing power, because the dividend growth in inflation adjusted terms is *negative*. Pray you dont live in high inflationary times, or youll quickly figure out that SCHD (the sweed summer child that only existed 2011 onward) or covered call ETFs wont keep up. They wouldnt have in the 70s.

I view it more a toggle between risk on and risk off. Risk off means more T, VZ, Bonds, SCHD, etc. Risk on means more Sofi, NVDA, TSM, AMZN, etc. For the 401k, just put it in a low cost index fund. Most people starting in the 401k never have enough money to play the timing the market thing and it's meant to accumulate and invest relentlessly.

Yeah, I just started a Roth in hood for that 3% match on Oct. 30 and take away the 3% match and the portfolio is down 1.96%. Still have $3200 on the sidelines waiting but I only have until eoy. Playing this like my 401k so ITOT, IXUS, AGG, SPY, QQQ, QQQI, SPYG, WMT and SCHD

SCHD, TLT, SGOV for 10k

It's a bad idea generally. Wealth manager makes a fee from the assets being managed and also buys into products that derives commissions for them (And in which case you are really paying the commissions). The complication is really unnecessary and it designed not to beat the market, but designed to give you some income and string you along for many years, paying multiple fees for a long time. Just buy low cost index like VOO, SCHD, etc.

I know this is late, but why are we comparing an Income ETF to a Growth ETF? This is the kind of thing people say about SCHD and compare it VOO and SPY, which doesn't really make sense. Also the WEEL ETF is there if you don't want to or have the time to actively do the Wheel strategy.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm 33 so I'm open to replace SCHD. Any suggestions?

Replace VOO and AVUV with VTI only. Replace SCHD with anything growth orientated really unless you’re over 35 or something. It’s nice overall.
