If I Could Only Buy and Hold 1 Dividend ETF Forever, Here's What I'd Choose

• SCHD is a low-cost ETF tracking high-dividend U.S. stocks. • Top holdings are evenly weighted, reducing single-stock risk. • Author chooses SCHD as the one ETF to hold forever. Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, holding 100 U.S. companies with consistent dividends and strong fundamentals. Its top 10 holdings, including Merck, Amgen, Abbott, Coca-Cola, and Verizon, are evenly weighted, limiting single-stock risk. The fund’s 0.06% expense ratio and 3.27% SEC yield make it attractive for long-term, passive investors.
