What is the single most popular dividend ETF on the planet?
Schwab’s U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD), and its track record speaks for itself.
European regulations make it impossible for you to buy... but I may have just found an interesting option.
 |
SCHD has an incredible track record.
It’s currently got a starting yield of around 3%.
That’s nearly 3x the yield of the S&P 500, which is currently around 1%.
 |
Not only do you start with an attractive yield, you get a strong history of dividend growth.
5-year dividend CAGR: 9.2%
10-year dividend CAGR: 10.6%
SCHD has been around for nearly 15 years.
If you would have invested $10,000 when it was first offered, here’s what your investment would look like today:
 |
Your $10,000 is now worth $65,277
You receive more than $1,950 in dividends each year
That’s a yield on cost of 19.5%
2026 has been a very good year for SCHD so far.
Its total return is significantly outperforming the S&P 500 year to date.
 |
How has SCHD delivered such impressive results?
Unlike a lot of dividend ETFs, SCHD looks at more than dividend yield.
It’s also looking at dividend quality.
 |
In short: it buys good businesses.
But if you live outside the U.S., you know the main problem - you can’t buy it.
Thanks to UCITS regulations, SCHD isn’t available in Europe.
But what if you could take SCHD’s fundamental screening and apply it globally?
