Schwab Strategic Trust-Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF

SCHY tracks a modified market-cap-weighted index of 100 high-dividend-yielding stocks located outside of the US. Stocks are selected based on additional fundamental criteria and low volatility.

Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF offers an attractive yield and lower valuation compared to U.S. markets, making it a compelling option for dividend investors. Warren Buffett's recent stock sales and elevated Shiller P/E ratio suggest U.S. markets are overvalued, prompting a cautious investment approach. While U.S. stocks have qualitative advantages, international equities provide a lower valuation and decent growth potential, making them a viable alternative.

Worried About A Bubble In U.S. Stocks? Then Check Out SCHY

Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF focuses on 100 dividend stocks, emphasizing yield, dividend growth, and quality. The SCHY ETF is well-diversified across countries, sectors and holdings, and shows value characteristics without sacrificing growth. The SCHY track record is promising compared to an ex-US benchmark, but it lags some competitors.

SCHY employs a rigorous screening process whilst selecting its stocks, but the results are not good enough. VYMI, its larger peer, appears to have better qualities. We close with some thoughts on the technicals and the valuations.

With a higher 4.86% TTM yield than the US-based version of the index offers, SCHY offers an excellent yield opportunity for those seeking income and international diversification. SCHY returns have outperformed VXUS and it's international benchmark since inception on a risk-adjusted return basis and through major drawdowns.

The US Federal Reserve is expected to maintain higher interest rates while other major central banks, such as the ECB and BoE, are likely to shift to lower interest rates. The divergence in interest rates presents an opportunity to invest in international dividend stocks, which are expected to outperform their US counterparts. The Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF is the recommended investment tool for betting on international interest rates due to its low expense ratio and exposure to developed countries.

SCHY: How The Fed's Policies Make International Dividend Stocks An Attractive Bet

Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF targets high-dividend-yielding companies outside the US, providing consistent income and potential capital appreciation. SCHY has a diversified portfolio with a well-balanced sector composition, offering broad-based exposure and reducing investor risk. The fund has outperformed similar ETFs over the past two years and has a lower expense ratio, making it a cost-effective investment option.

SCHY: The Cycle Will Come For It Soon

Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF (SCHY) aims to replicate the success of its US counterpart (SCHD) but faces challenges in finding dividend growth companies in foreign markets. The fund focuses on foreign stocks with a history of consistent dividends and financial stability, resulting in a portfolio of 120-130 stocks with high dividend yields and low volatility. While SCHY has shown dividend growth in the past two years, the lack of dividend growth criteria and limited pool of dividend growth companies outside the US may impact its future performance.
