SCHD's long-term track record of double-digit annualized returns over many years also inspires confidence that this is still a good place to be in the long term. Lastly, SCHD's expense ratio of just 0.06% is extremely favorable for investors, making this a compelling ETF to own in 2024 and beyond.
Consider Both ETFs and Mutual Funds
Owning both types of funds may be a smart strategy as each can offer protection and opportunity. For example, if you own a passively managed ETF, also buying an actively managed mutual fund may offer you some upside potential beyond that of the index being tracked.
