The Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) is popular for dividend growth but offers a modest 3% yield and lacks some diversification. Analyst Samuel Smith explains how investors can potentially more than double SCHD's yield to nearly 7% by adopting a diversified retirement portfolio that includes beaten-down high-yield sectors while maintaining dividend growth. He provides specific portfolio allocations, holdings, and highlights key risks to consider before investing retirement savings. This approach aims to balance yield, growth, and diversification for income-focused retirees.
SCHD is currently priced at USD 35.42 on Pluang, showing a 0.94% gain in the last day. The ETF has a market cap of $118.36 billion and a typical hold time of 69 days among Pluang users as of Oct 29, 2026, 18:22 WIB.
