The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) is one of the most popular dividend ETFs in the market today .

SCHD recently made some waves by executing a 3 -for-1 split which went into effect on October 10th .

The split doesn’t have any fundamental impact on SCHD’s investment prospects.

It owns 100 stocks, and its top 10 holdings account for 41.0% of its assets.

The fund owns a plethora of well-known dividend stocks, ranging from top holding Home Depot to BlackRock .

SCHD's share price is only about three-quarters as volatile as the broader market.

This adds credence to SCHD ’s defensive qualities which can be attractive for investors seeking to avoid volatility.

SCHD has lagged behind broad market funds like the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF ( VOO ) over each of these time frames.

The fund charges a bargain-bin expense ratio of just 0.06% .
