📈   VYM Continues To Rally And Can Climb Higher While Outpacing SCHD

The Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF (NYSEARCA:VYM) and the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) are two of the most popular dividend ETFs, having amassed $67.87 billion and $55.36 billion in assets under management (AUM). At a point, I wasn't thrilled with being invested in VYM, but I didn't exit the position because I didn't want to become too heavily weighted toward SCHD. I am certainly glad I didn't just go off trailing data in my decision because VYM has been outpacing SCHD over the past year from a capital appreciation perspective. I am bullish on VYM because it allows investors to own a basket of income-producing securities with strong track records of dividend growth.
