Is Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fd Select Shs a Series of Schwab Capit a Good Dividend Stock?

SWTSX fits growth-and-income investors who want broad U.S. equity market exposure and are willing to accept a low current yield in exchange for dividend growth. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.01%, and it sits well below the fund's own 5-year average yield of 5.11%, which reflects how much the fund's price has appreciated relative to its distributions. The trade-off is clear: the 8.4% annualized dividend growth rate over 14 years is the real draw here, not the income generated today. Three consecutive years of dividend increases support the recent trend, but the history also includes declines, so income predictability is not guaranteed.
