SCHD: Get Ready For A Seasonal Correction In Growth

Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF™ remains my top defensive pick, offering superior dividend quality and liquidity versus VIG and VYM, despite recent underperformance versus the S&P 500. The SCHD ETF's low technology exposure and focus on defensive sectors provide a strong buffer against potential market corrections and AI-driven volatility. Persistent inflation, hawkish Fed policy, geopolitical tensions, and seasonal market weakness all reinforce my preference for SCHD as a safe haven.
