SCHD ETF Rebalances: Focuses on Recession-Proof Dividends
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) recently underwent a yearly overhaul, replacing twenty-two stocks with twenty-five new ones to maintain its focus on high-quality dividend payers. The fund tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend one hundred index, which selects stocks based on strong yields, growth, and financial health.
Energys share in the fund decreased from 23.5% to 16.3%, allowing consumer staples to take the lead at 19.4%. This shift emphasizes steadier income plays.
Notable additions include Procter and Gamble (PG), yielding around 3% and boasting 69 consecutive years of dividend increases. Marzetti also joined, with 63 years of dividend hikes, making it one of just twelve U.S. firms with that streak.
This rebalance strengthens SCHDs reliability for income seekers, offering growth without volatility.
