SCHD Dividend ETF

Hey Folks,

At the moment I invest my money in the Ishare Corse MSCI, but I also want some cash flow. What do you think about the SCHD? I know in this ETF are only USA Large Cap company. Maybe i would also get an european.

in the last 10-15 years, the only market where a dividend strategy really worked was/is switzerland. In all other markets you had a huge underperformance vs. the market.

Maybe taking a look at the ishares Swiss Dividend might be worth your time.

i don’t want the etf to beat the market. i realize that dividend stocks can’t do that. But I would like to have a little cash flow in addition to my world (which already has a good volume), e.g. to pay for the daycare or whatever :slight_smile:

Huge? Not really. All noteworthy overperformance of VOO is since April 2023:

Personally I love SCHD’s screening criteria, but don’t have it because I’m a chicken who invests on UCITS ETFs only, in a Swiss broker.

The closest UCITS alternative I’ve found and do own, with unfortunately less focused criteria, is FUSD. Another, but more expensive and 10x smaller than FUSD is DGRW.

It’d be good to know why you want the cashflow though, as even I’d tell you I am aware it’s sub-optimal.

If you want pure and monthly cashflow then there is JEPG, JEPI and JEPQ - recently launched UCITS too (you can get some upside via these funds but it’s very capped, and the downside is probably not, plus there’s the losing the US withholding tax issue and the CH taxing dividends as income issue), if you want pure dividends, with no other worthwhile screening criterion, then there’s VHYL.

Edit: pre-empting points made about these not being optimal in CH.

Ok thanks. I will have a look at the JEPG, JEPI and JEPQ.

Would a standing sell order on your world ETF work for you? (or maybe switch to a distributing world ETF?)

the world etf is for my pension, so selling or distributing it would not be an option. The other would be for the here and now. I don’t necessarily have to do this, I just wanted to hear other opinions and will think about it again.
