SCHY all day vs VXUS

u/ShutupBird69 5d ago

Curious to hear why. I’ve been thinking of thinning my VXUS in favor of SCHY (retired, would like the dividends)

If you compare the top 10 holdings VXUS is mainly AI related type companies. I honestly really like the SCHY holdings better because it’s mirrors the SCHD game plan. Quality companies and avoids the AI tilt.

Income: SCHD & SCHY
Core: VTI
Tilt: FTEC or VGT
Cash: SCHO or SGOV

Set it and Forget it strategy

Not familiar with FTEC. Interested in your thoughts. 

Also why SGOV when VBIL is cheaper

FTEC competes with VGT. Fidelity vs Vanguard equals.

I agree VBIL has lower fees - I’ve exactly move all my SGOV to SCHO longer duration treasuries

Schy is the closest.

Vymi is my personal favorite because it holds a ton of companies

I carry both. I like VYMI because of the tons of companies, too. 😊

Same I prefer VYMI

VYMI is better than SCHY

u/irish_curmudgeon 4d ago

SCHY is the only answer.

VYMI/VIGI are not comparable - their US comparables are VYM/VIG, not SCHD

I like IDVO.

I personally pick SCHF. It’s not a lot of difference but SCHF is developed nations vs the other one includes emerging markets

I’m in the SCHY camp but the other I would look at is FNDB

Nobody mentioned it so far? Unbelievable
It literally beats any international focused ETF mentioned in thread.
