Easily one of the most popular dividend investments out there is the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF, ticker SCHD. With over 52 billion dollars worth of assets under management, it’s currently the second-largest dividend growth ETF behind the much older Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF, VIG. As I’ve discussed in the past, there are a lot of reasons to like this dividend holding. Not only has it increased its dividends every year since inception, but it’s also consistently been the highest yielding dividend growth ETF. That means when you invest in SCHD, you’ll get paid more dividends each quarter than any comparable ETF like VIG, VYM, or SDY.

SCHD also has the best dividend growth rate of any comparable ETF, to my knowledge. This fund has a 5-year dividend growth rate of 13.05%, far exceeding other ETFs. So there’s a lot of good things going for this investment. But just like every investment, SCHD has both fans and critics, who’ve attempted to pick it apart for several reasons. Social media and stock analysis websites like Seeking Alpha regularly have people who come on and like to criticize practically anything that exists in the market. So in this video, we’re going to take a look at some of the most common arguments against SCHD and see if any of them have any merit, which some do.
