What is SCHD? The "Quality" Dividend Strategy

SCHD tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index. Unlike "yield trap" funds that blindly buy any company paying a massive dividend, SCHD uses a sophisticated four-part screening process to ensure its holdings are elite.

The SCHD "Filter" System: To even be considered for the fund, a company must have a 10-year consecutive track record of paying dividends. Once a stock passes that hurdle, Schwab ranks it based on:

Cash Flow to Total Debt: Can the company easily pay its bills?

Return on Equity (ROE): Is the management efficient at generating profit from shareholder money?

Dividend Yield: How much cash is it paying out relative to its stock price?

5-Year Dividend Growth Rate: Is the paycheck getting bigger every year?

The result is a concentrated portfolio of 100 stocks that represent the "blue-chip" core of the American economy.
