Dividend growth investing allows for versatility in portfolio construction and strategies.

Both QDIV and SCHD invest in large-cap U.S. stocks that pay dividends, but they have different selection criteria and weighting methods, with SCHD having a lower expense ratio and higher dividend yield. QDIV has a lower price-to-earnings ratio and pays dividends monthly, while SCHD pays quarterly; SCHD has realized a higher total return since August 2018. Analysis of the underlying indices of both ETFs shows they outperform the S&P 500, especially during down markets, with QDIV potentially offering higher returns over a 24-year period.

Better Dividend ETF: QDIV Vs. SCHD

The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF remains a superior quality dividend ETF compared to the Global X S&P 500 Quality Dividend ETF, mainly due to SCHD's 5-year dividend growth track record requirement. SCHD also has a lower expense ratio and a higher dividend yield than QDIV, making it a more attractive investment option. Despite some advantages of QDIV, such as a lower P/E ratio and monthly dividend payout schedule, SCHD continues to be the preferred choice for dividend growth investors.

QDIV invests in high-quality, high-yield stocks assessed on past growth, payments, and other fundamental metrics. Dividend-focused securities rose in popularity last year as inflation stifled many companies' growth prospects.
