  • The S&P 500 index currently yields a tiny 1.2%. You can get roughly three times the yield if you buy the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD). The big benefit, however, is that the stocks it holds are vetted for quality and yield.

The article from MSN Money discusses key considerations for potential investors in the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD). Firstly, it highlights SCHD's investment strategy, which focuses on companies with a history of paying dividends, aiming for both income and capital appreciation. The ETF tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, selecting companies based on financial health, yield, and dividend consistency.

The article advises understanding these aspects to make an informed investment decision.
