Over the past decade, iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO) has delivered a 250% return, outperforming Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) at 233%, mainly due to DGRO's inclusion of fast-growing tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Broadcom. SCHD, focusing on established dividend payers with longer histories, offers a higher current yield of 3.3% compared to DGRO's 1.96%, appealing more to retirees seeking steady income. The choice depends on investor goals: DGRO suits those prioritizing total return and growth, while SCHD fits income-focused investors. A blend of both ETFs could balance yield and growth for pre-retirees.
