SCHD holdings

Computed by this site from the fund's SEC Form N-PORT filing; what the measure does not tell you · every fund in one table · hold it with other funds? X-ray the mix. Pricing: 100% at a quoted market price (level 1), 4 issuer countries.

SCHD's largest investment is Qualcomm Inc at 6.74% of net assets. Texas Instruments Inc and UnitedHealth Group Inc follow; the three together are 17.74%. Ten companies are 43.64% of the fund; the other 92 share the rest. Among the 721 equity funds measured here, SCHD behaves like 32 holdings against a median of 42.4 — close to the median. Across 27 quarterly filings SCHD has held roughly steady since 2019-11-30 (35.6 then, 32 now). Between the 2026-02-28 and 2026-05-31 filings 27 positions were added and 24 dropped; 33.9% of the weight moved.

Each sentence is read from the fund's own SEC filing; the class median is computed across the comparable equity funds on this site. Nothing here is a view on the fund.

Between 2019-11-30 and 2026-05-31, SCHD went from behaving like 35.6 equally weighted positions to 32 — 10% fewer, while its top ten went from 42.53% to 43.64% of net assets. Read across the funds on the concentration-over-time table.

One row per filed reporting period, newest first, read from EDGAR. Quarterly because that is the public filing cadence. Rows marked * are published but held out of the comparison above; the methodology page says when and why.

Measured against every other fund on this site, from the same filings. Combined effective holdings is how the pair behaves held in equal size.

The 15 largest of 102 positions in SCHD's Form N-PORT, weight as a share of net assets, securities-lending collateral excluded. Every position, every quarter: SCHD.csv.gz.

Share of SCHD's own investments by the issuer country the filer reported (incorporation, not revenue). Each country links to every fund that holds it.

Monthly total returns from Item B.5 of SCHD's own filings, 81 months on record. Not computed here and not from a price feed.

Cross-checked against a series computed separately from prices: median difference 0.04 percentage points over 81 months, which is roughly the distributions. Every month with the filing it came from: SCHD.json · all funds.

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-02-28, $135m was out to 9 borrowers, 0.16% of net assets. The largest, JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC, held 30.8% of it.

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.16% of net assets, 102% of the amount lent. That is a floor on the collateral, not the whole of it — collateral the fund does not hold as a position is not in this filing, so a figure under 100% is not evidence of under-collateralisation. How that figure behaves across all funds. Every quarter SCHD has filed, with each borrower: SCHD.json · all funds.

99 positions became 102: 27 added (32.1% of the fund at the later date), 24 dropped (16.1% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 33.9%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of SCHD compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

New: QUALCOMM Inc (6.75%), UnitedHealth Group Inc (5.10%), Procter & Gamble Co/The (3.55%), Abbott Laboratories (2.96%), Accenture PLC (2.90%), Automatic Data Processing Inc (2.25%). Gone: Cisco Systems Inc (3.59%), AbbVie Inc (3.54%), Valero Energy Corp (2.25%), Halliburton Co (1.09%), Coterra Energy Inc (0.84%), Amcor PLC (0.81%).

99.95% equity, 0.04% short-term investment as filed; 100.0% carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1). Categories and levels are the filer's; what a low level-1 share does and does not mean is in the measure's page.

A position count cannot describe a fund that uses derivatives, because a swap is filed at its unrealised gain, not its exposure. These are the notionals the fund itself reported, against net assets of $94.95B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

Full detail for every fund that files derivatives: leverage.json (CC BY 4.0).

Every measured equity fund lined up by how many holdings it behaves like; these sit either side of SCHD (32). Same filings, same arithmetic. Position in this list says nothing about which fund is better.

• SCHD Holdings: 99 Stocks, the Top 10 at 44%, and What It Actually Adds to a VOO Portfolio

  What the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF held on 31 May 2026 from its SEC Form N-PORT filing: all 99 stocks with weights, Qualcomm 6.7%, Texas Instruments 5.9%, UnitedHealth 5.1%; the top ten are 43.6% and the fund behaves like 32 equal holdings. Then the question people are really asking — 92% of SCHD's money sits in companies VOO already owns, so what does holding both change? The overlap arithmetic answers it.
