Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) and Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) are compared as dividend-focused investment options. SCHD offers a higher dividend yield of 3.5% versus VIG's 1.6%, driven by greater exposure to energy and consumer defensive stocks. However, VIG has delivered stronger capital appreciation with a 10.4% one-year return compared to SCHD's 6.6%, benefiting from heavier technology and financial services exposure. Both funds have nearly identical low expense ratios and substantial assets under management.
