SCHD ETF had a strong year with a 21.9% price gain, but its dividend yield dropped from 3.8% to 3.2%, reducing its appeal for income investors. Rising Treasury yields make bonds more attractive compared to SCHD's lower yield, prompting investors to consider alternatives like SPYD, SPHD, or foreign dividend ETFs such as LVHI, which offer higher yields and potential growth.
