How Much to Invest in SCHD for $1,000 Monthly Passive Income
This article from The Motley Fool on Yahoo Finance explains how much an investor would need to put into the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) to generate $1,000 per month in passive income. It calculates that 11,429 shares, costing approximately $377,157 at $33 per share, are required to achieve $3,000 in quarterly dividends (equivalent to $1,000 monthly). The piece emphasizes that this is a long-term goal achievable through regular saving, dividend reinvestment, and the ETF's historical dividend growth of over 522% since 2011. It highlights the underlying blue-chip stocks in the fund, such as Coca-Cola and Home Depot, which support consistent dividend increases. The article encourages investors to start small, noting that reaching 126 shares (about $4,158) allows dividends to buy an additional share each quarter, accelerating compounding.
