About SCHD
SCHD follows a rules-based dividend approach with several filters. It is built on the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100. Only companies that have paid dividends without interruption for at least ten years enter the preselection; real estate investment trusts are excluded. Within that group the index scores each company on four measures: operating cash flow relative to total debt, return on equity, dividend yield, and dividend growth over the past five years. The 100 stocks with the best combination are included.
Weights follow market value, with caps per company and per sector. The selection is rebuilt completely once a year, with quarterly weight adjustments in between. Because the measures are recalculated every year, the sector mix can shift noticeably from one rebuild to the next.
The result differs sharply from the broad market. Large technology companies with low or no dividends are largely absent, while consumer staples, energy, pharmaceuticals and industrials carry more weight. Dividend funds such as SCHD and VYM pursue similar goals with different rules, and the comparison in the figures section shows how little their holdings overlap. For funds like these, price return captures only part of the outcome, because a larger share is paid out.
