Hi Tigers,
Today Iโve been looking into dividends and wanted to share three ETFs under $100 that may be worth exploring for long-term investorsโespecially beginners.
These ETFs provide exposure to the United States, China, and Australia, while also offering dividend income potential.
๐บ๐ธ United States: $Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF(SCHD)$
๐ Approx. price: Under $50 USD
๐ฐ Annual dividend: ~ $1.06 per share (โ3.2%โ3.3% yield)
๐ Payment frequency: Quarterly
A $10,000 investment in SCHD could generate roughly $330 per year in dividends at current rates. If dividends grow at around 7% annually, that income could increase to approximately $650 per year within 10 years, excluding any dividend reinvestment or share price appreciation.
๐จ๐ณ China: $X HARVEST CSI 300(ASHR.UK)$
๐ Approx. price: Under $40 USD
๐ฐ Annual dividend: ~ $0.76 per share (โ2.1% yield)
๐ Payment frequency: Annually (typically December)
Unlike SCHD, ASHR is not primarily designed for dividend income. It tracks the 300 largest mainland Chinese A-share companies, so dividends will vary depending on the underlying companiesโ payouts each year.
๐ฆ๐บ Australia: $VANGUARD AUS HIGH YIELD(VHY.AU)$
๐ Approx. price: Under $60 USD
๐ฐ Annual dividend: ~ $3.22 USD per unit (โ5.4%โ5.5% yield)
๐ Payment frequency: Quarterly
VHY currently distributes around A$4.57 per unit annually, with a yield of approximately 5.5%. A $10,000 investment could generate about $550 per year in income today, with potential for growth over time through reinvestment and dividend increases.
These are just a few starting points for anyone interested in building long-term dividend income.
Happy Trading.
Gilly.
