The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) has gained 27% year to date, outperforming the Nasdaq 100's 19% return. This performance is driven by a macro shift favoring value stocks over growth, as investors moved away from high-priced tech and AI spenders. Additionally, a major portfolio reconstitution in March introduced higher-quality holdings like semiconductor companies, enhancing returns. SCHD remains a solid choice for retirement investors seeking rising qualified dividends, though its recent gains reflect a mix of market rotation and portfolio changes rather than a pure growth surge.
