SCHD has long been the king of dividend ETFs… but is it time to hand the crown to VYM?

In this video, I compare Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) and Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM)—two of the most popular dividend ETFs on the market. We break down:

Yield and dividend growth comparisons

Sector diversification

Tech and energy exposure

Historical total return performance

The only time I would choose VYM over SCHD

Why both ETFs can be smart additions to a passive dividend portfolio

While SCHD shines with its 11% dividend growth CAGR and higher current yield, VYM offers broader sector diversification, more balanced risk, and stronger recent performance thanks to greater exposure to tech names like $AVGO. I’ll explain which one fits which type of investor and how I personally build around SCHD in my own portfolio.
