“It’s Boring… But This Is How You Build REAL WEALTH”
SCHD serves as a low-volatility, recession-resistant component for retirement portfolios; recent strong performance validates its inclusion.

But then to keep the portfolio a bit safer and less volatile, especially as you get closer to retirement and definitely in retirement, you want something lower volatility and very much recessionproof.

And that's where something like SCHD or a highly value ETF comes in.

A dividend growth would be something like SCHD or maybe even dividend king stocks like Proctor and Gamble or Johnson and Johnson. Those are going to have a dividend like 3%, 4%, something of that nature. but each and every year or at least consistently they're going to be growing that dividend by a couple percentages.

“Once Your Portfolio Hits THIS Number, Saving More Barely Matters”
SCHD is a preferred holding (30% allocation) due to strong recent performance (~27% gain) and solid dividend yield (~3.5%).

SCHD has risen by nearly 27% over the past year. Therefore, this is my preferred option, as it distributes profits of approximately 3.5%, and I will allocate 30% of my portfolio to it.

good exchange-traded funds like SCHDs that contain strong companies paying dividends, not only were those companies paying good dividends, but were actually raising their dividends during that time for most companies.
