SCHD

Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of U.S. large‑cap and mid‑cap stocks that have a history of paying consistent dividends, with a tilt toward sectors such as consumer staples, industrials, health care and information technology. The fund follows a rules‑based strategy that screens for companies meeting criteria for dividend yield, dividend growth, financial strength and quality metrics, and it weights holdings by market capitalization while emphasizing sustainability of payouts. This approach creates an equity‑focused, dividend‑oriented exposure that can suit income‑seeking investors, retirees, or any portfolio looking for a blend of potential capital appreciation and regular cash flow without venturing outside the U.S. equity market.
