A Dividend ETF With A Quality Bias

Though not always by intention, many dividend exchange traded funds also feature an emphasis on the quality factor. That is not surprising when considering a company's ability to generate free cash so that a dividend can not only be sustained but grown over time plays prominently in the quality factor.

The $2.1 billion Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEArca: SCHD) is a prime example of a dividend ETF that can also be considered a quality ETF. SCHD tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, which not only features some of the largest U.S. dividend payers, but also only those companies with at least 10 years of increased payouts.
