With dividends reinvested, VOO and SCHD have been neck and neck over the past five years with VOO slightly outperforming. Considering that growth has been dominant over the past decade, I was surprised to see this.
Also considering the fact that we’re potentially in the process of reducing the Fed balance sheet, and raising rates to more normal (as in, pre-‘08 normal) levels, I think value could very well outperform growth over the next 5-10 years.
Another advantage to SCHD is that it will absolutely outperform if we enter into a prolonged bear market (which I think is unlikely but possible), and will have less volatility in any market.
Given all of these advantages to SCHD, as well as the very similar performance
even when growth outperformed value, I think SCHD might be the superior fund.
I’m personally blending my ETF holdings into 70% SCHD/30% QQQ.
Thoughts?
