Global Dividend Growth

No fancy options strategies. No complex derivatives. Just ownership in hundreds of the best dividend-paying companies on earth at the lowest cost possible — 0.09% total fees. That's 91 cents a year on every $1,000 invested. SCHD gives you 100 top US dividend growers. VYM adds 500+ more. VYMI and SCHY take you global across 40+ countries. And 10% sits in Treasury bills as a cushion. These companies — think Johnson & Johnson, Nestlé, Toyota — have been paying dividends through recessions, pandemics, and everything else. The returns here come more from stock prices going up over time than from big monthly payments, so set a 5% threshold and give it 5-8 months. If you want to keep things dead simple and cheap, this is your nest.
