DIVO vs SCHD
Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF against Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF: 4 years of returns, risk and today’s technical read, from Kavout’s own data.
SCHD did slightly better over the full period: $1,000 invested on Oct 28, 2022 grew to $1,649, versus $1,647 for DIVO. Its three-year total return was also higher, 67.2% versus 60.0%, and SCHD led over the latest 1-, 3-, 6-month and YTD periods. However, the advantage came with greater risk: SCHD’s 12-month volatility was 11.3% versus DIVO’s 9.4%, and its worst drawdown was -16.1% versus DIVO’s -12.1%. DIVO’s covered-call strategy produced a smoother ride but lagged recently, while SCHD’s much lower 0.06% expense ratio versus DIVO’s 0.56% is another long-term advantage. Their daily returns were positively correlated at 0.814, so diversification benefits are limited, although DIVO’s lower sensitivity and volatility may appeal to investors prioritizing stability.
