I will dive deeper into why I consider SCHD to be the perfect choice to start building an investment portfolio from zero and the reasons for which I believe it&#8217;s an excellent strategic buy in order to successfully implement the investment approach of The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As detailed in my previous article on Seeking Alpha, The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio\u2019s objective is to generate income via dividend payments, and to annually raise this sum. In addition to that, its goal is to attain an appealing Total Return when investing with a reduced risk level over the long term.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio\u2019s reduced risk level will be reached due to its broad diversification over sectors and industries and the inclusion of companies with a low Beta Factor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Below you can find the characteristics of The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<li><em>Attractive Weighted Average Dividend Yield [TTM]<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Attractive Weighted Average Dividend Growth Rate [CAGR] 5 Year<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Relatively low Volatility<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Relatively low Risk-Level<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Attractive expected reward in the form of the expected compound annual rate of return<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Diversification over asset classes<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Diversification over sectors<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Diversification over industries<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Diversification over countries<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Buy-and-Hold suitability<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Investing $1,000 in The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Over the next months, I aim to invest a monthly amount of $400 ($100 a week) to build The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">However, I have decided to allocate a larger initial position to SCHD. This helps us reach a broader diversification and to reduce the risk level of the portfolio. Allocating a higher percentage to SCHD than subsequent acquisitions ensures that upcoming individual companies will not disproportionately dominate the overall portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This helps us invest with a lower risk level from the start and therefore helps us to increase the probability of achieving attractive investment results over the long term.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">I have decided to invest $1,000 in SCHD. This means that presently, SCHD is the sole position within The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/55029283-16934967487228787.png\" alt=\"Purchase of SCHD\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Source: Interactive Brokers<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Through a $1,000 investment in SCHD, we ensure that the initial individual company that will be added to The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio will have a percentage below 10% (the following acquisitions will occur weekly, each amounting to $100).<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>The Top 5 Holdings of SCHD<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">SCHD is invested in a total of 104 holdings.

The Home Depot offers a Dividend Yield [FWD] of 2.57% while it has shown a Dividend Growth Rate [CAGR] of 15.75%.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>The Diversification over Sectors of SCHD<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Below you can find SCHD\u2019s Sector Weightings: the graphic shows that the Industrials Sector holds the highest percentage of the overall portfolio, representing 18.1% of this ETF. The Health Care Sector makes up 15.6% of SCHD, representing the second largest Sector. The Financials Sector accounts for 14.5% of this ETF.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/55029283-16934968798391829.png\" alt=\"SCHD's Sector Weightings\" width=\"640\" height=\"227\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-width=\"640\" data-height=\"227\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Source: schwabassetmanagement.com<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The fact that no Sector makes up more than 20% of this ETF indicates that it provides investors with a broad diversification, thus implying a reduced risk level. By selecting SCHD as the first acquisition for The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio, investors benefit from a broad diversification and reduced risk level right from the start.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Why the acquisition of SCHD for The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio is a strategic buy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">When constructing an investment portfolio from scratch, I believe it is crucial to provide it with a reduced risk level right away. This helps us to increase the probability of achieving excellent investment results over the long term. If our first acquisition were an individual company, the portfolio\u2019s risk level would typically be significantly higher until we accumulate a sufficient number of holdings that allow us to achieve a broader diversification. For this reason, I generally recommend to start with an ETF when building an investment portfolio from scratch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The reasons for which I have opted to select SCHD over other ETFs are diverse: one of the main reasons is its exceptional alignment with the balance we aim to achieve between dividend income and dividend growth in The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">SCHD\u2019s Dividend Yield [TTM] stands at 3.53% and its Dividend Growth Rate [CAGR] over the past 5 years lies at 13.92%. In addition to that, SCHD helps us to achieve a broad diversification over sectors and industries, allowing us to decrease the portfolio\u2019s risk level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF reflects the investment approach of The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio while helping us to operate with a reduced risk level from the start. This makes The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF the perfect strategic buy for The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>SCHD In Comparison to its Peer Group<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">When compared to other ETFs, I believe that SCHD comes with several benefits for investors. Its Dividend Yield [TTM] of 3.53% stands above the one of VYM (VYM) (Dividend Yield [TTM] of 3.12%) or DGRO (DGRO) (2.38%).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Even though it\u2019s true that SCHD\u2019s Dividend Yield [TTM] is lower than the one\u2019s of DVY (DVY) (Dividend Yield [TTM] of 3.73%) or HDV (HDV) (Dividend Yield [TTM] of 4.11%), its 5 Year Dividend Growth Rate [CAGR] is significantly higher: while SCHD\u2019s Dividend Growth Rate [CAGR] over the past 5 years stands at 13.92%, DVY\u2019s is 6.24% and HDV\u2019s is 6.32%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">These metrics strengthen my belief that The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF is the most adequate ETF to help us successfully implement The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio\u2019s investment approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In addition to that, the graphic below highlights that SCHD has performed better than its peers over the past 5 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/55029283-16934970076581597.png\" alt=\"SCHD's Performance\" width=\"640\" height=\"238\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-width=\"640\" data-height=\"238\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">I hold the belief that this ETF has the potential to continue outperforming its peers due to its emphasis on companies with a track record of consistently paying dividends. Moreover, thanks to its combination of dividend income and dividend growth, I believe it will outperform those that only focus on a high Dividend Yield.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">It is further worth mentioning that SCHD has a significantly lower Expense Ratio when compared to its peer group: while SCHD\u2019s Expense Ratio stands at 0.06%, DGRO\u2019s Expense Ratio is 0.08%, DVY\u2019s 0.38%, SDY\u2019s (SDY) is 0.35%, and HDV\u2019s is 0.08%. These metrics strengthen my opinion to select SCHD as the most adequate ETF for our investment portfolio.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Risk Factors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Even though it is absolutely true that investing in The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF is not free of risks, I believe that the risk factors are slightly lower than investing in other high Dividend Yield ETFs. This is mainly the case due to the ETF\u2019s focus on high quality companies that pay a sustainable dividend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Due to its focus on companies that are able to pay sustainable dividends, I believe that the risk of dividend cuts from companies that are part of SCHD to be generally lower than ETFs that only focus on high dividend yield companies. For this reason, I also believe that the probability of achieving an attractive Total Return over the long term is slightly higher for SCHD investors than for investors of other high dividend yield ETFs. This is also the case because SCHD combines dividend income and dividend growth while providing investors with significantly more growth opportunities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">However, it should be mentioned that SCHD has a relatively strong concentration on its Top 10 Holdings, which make up 40.77%. This implies that a weak performance from one of its Top 10 Holdings could have a relatively strong negative effect on the ETF\u2019s performance. I see this concentration as one of the main risk factors for SCHD investors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Even though difficult macroeconomic conditions could also have a strong impact on the performance of SCHD over the short term, I believe that the selection of companies that pay a sustainable dividend can help to reduce the downside risk of this ETF in times of market turmoil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">For these reasons, I believe that The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF is the perfect fit for different market conditions and the ideal buy-and-hold ETF. I strongly believe this ETF will help us to successfully implement the investment approach of The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">With the first acquisition for The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio, we have made a strategic buy in order to implement the desired investment approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Having selected SCHD, we combine dividend income with dividend growth. SCHD provides investors with a Dividend Yield [TTM] of 3.53% while it has shown a Dividend Growth Rate [CAGR] of 13.92% over the past 5 years. At the same time, investors benefit from a reduced risk level due to its broad diversification and its strong focus on companies that pay a sustainable dividend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Due to these characteristics, I believe this ETF is the perfect acquisition and an excellent strategic buy to start successfully building The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">I am constructing and documenting this dividend-income-oriented investment portfolio here on Seeking Alpha in order to help you generate extra income in the form of dividends and to help you increase this amount on a yearly basis while investing with a reduced risk level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">I strongly believe that you will benefit enormously when implementing the investment approach of The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio and when investing over the long term. Its focus on dividend income and dividend growth helps you to generate extra income without the need to sell positions of your portfolio. Due to its additional focus on Total Return, this strategy aims to steadily increase your wealth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">For the next week, I plan to publish an article about the second selection for The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio. It will be another buy that helps you combine dividend income with dividend growth, which is attractive in terms of risk and reward and therefore fits into the portfolio\u2019s investment approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>Author\u2019s Note: Thank you for reading!
