The Dividend ETF That Belongs in Almost Every Long-Term Portfolio
This ETF has a strong record of delivering rising dividend income and strong total returns.
Overview
Dividend stocks make ideal long-term investments. Ned Davis Research and Hartford Funds have found that since 1973, dividend stocks in the S&P 500 have delivered an average annual return of 9.2%, more than double the return of non-dividend-paying stocks (4.2%).
One of the easiest ways to invest in dividend stocks is through an exchange-traded fund (ETF). Here's why the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD) belongs in almost any investor's long-term portfolio.
