Key Points SCHD focuses on high-yielding dividend growth stocks. RDVY concentrates on Nasdaq-listing companies that pay rising dividends.

It offers a high dividend yield and has delivered strong total returns. However, I think the First Trust Rising Dividend Achievers ETF (NASDAQ: RDVY) is even better if you're seeking a higher average annual total return to grow your wealth faster. Over the past decade, RDVY has delivered an average annual total return of 15.8%, outpacing SCHD's 13.2%.
