US Equity SCHD focus is dividends, 4% DY, it is doing better than VOO and QQQ this year
You lose less during crises but gain less in the long term(second chart). So if you don't like much volatility SCHD is a good pick. Also it pays dividends, about 4% dividend yield a year.

it's very well established that dividend paying stocks are more durable in downturns.

Hi! It looks like you're discussing VOO, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF. Quick facts: It was launched in 2010, invests in U.S. Large-Cap stocks, and tracks the S&P 500 Index. Gain more insights on VOO here. Remember to do your own research. Thanks for participating in the community!

Yes, it is a nice somewhat defensive ETF and pairs nicely with Tech ETF such as XLK or even VTI/VOO.

SCHD is a large cap value fund. All large cap value indexes, regardless of dividends, have done a lot better than VOO or VTI year to date
VTV, SCHV, FLCOX DFLV

SCHD crashed less because it went up less during the up cycle… LCG discounts are building and will perform better over the longterm

I like the long term results better with VOO or QQQ(M). I can see some retirees investing in SCHD as they may need less risk when withdrawing living expenses, but I don't see it as being desirable for people under about age 55. QQQ was just up that much because of the tech stocks in the top 100 stocks in Nasdaq, but that may or may not happen in the next 10+.
