In this article, I share how adding Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) and Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund (RQI) to The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio enhances its dividend income capacity and diversification.

• SCHD now represents 21.22% of the portfolio, strengthening its risk-reward profile with its focus on sustainable dividends and dividend growth potential.
• RQI accounts for 8.70%, elevating the portfolio’s exposure to the Real Estate Sector and supporting a higher Weighted Average Yield on Cost [TTM] of 4.39%.

The portfolio’s 32 positions now boast a Weighted Average Yield on Cost [TTM] of 4.39% and a 5-Year Weighted Average Dividend Growth Rate [CAGR] of 6.82%, balancing income generation with growth potential while maintaining a reduced risk level.

Key individual holdings, including Berkshire Hathaway, BlackRock, Apple, Johnson & Johnson, and Realty Income, ensure an optimized allocation for long-term investors seeking stability, income, and growth.
