A dividend ETF holds stocks picked for high or steadily rising dividends, such as SCHD or VYM. Its headline yield rises when prices fall, so read it against [the Treasury yield it competes with](https://mochatrade.com/learn/us-market-structure/how-the-fed-moves-markets), and remember most US growth companies [return cash through buybacks instead](https://mochatrade.com/learn/us-market-structure/us-earnings-explained).
