Good Job Vanguard: "Untouchable"

Comments

  • Better is SCHD when comparing. I own both.
  • In what way ? NOT in 3yr returns, expenses, holdings and financial company
    Very close, but I'm a Vanguard man and go with expenses in Index Type investments
  • edited February 2015
    Since Oct, 2011- Feb 25, 2015, total return:

    --- SCHD = +78.1%
    --- VYM = +80.85%

    Pretty much a break even between the two for the time period, eh?

  • Since we are talking peanuts here, SCHD has a 0.07% ER. That is better than 0.1%. That evens things even more.
  • Lower expenses and lower returns= even? ok
