SCHD is a long-term, dividend-focused ETF that provides downside ballast and stronger total returns when dividends are reinvested.
The Vanguard High Dividend ETF ( NYSE:VYM) is widely considered to be one of the most popular income ETFs available today and for a number of very good reasons. Between its current $3.52 annual dividend payout and low payout ratio, there is every reason to believe that this ETF has the potential to be a cornerstone holding for millions of individual investor portfolios.
Dividend growth stocks have a simple premise. Get low yields now that grow rapidly and generate high income by the time you retire. In exchange for taking low yields now, you typically get higher long-term capital gains than you would with a mature dividend income stock. Luckily, you don't have to pick dividend growth stocks to get exposure to this strategy. These three dividend growth ETFs make it easy.
