iShares Core High Dividend ETF comprises 75 high-quality U.S. securities that pay above-average dividend yields and pass Morningstar's Economic Moat, Uncertainty, and Distance to Default screens. Its long-term track record is mixed, but the fund has a low portfolio beta and has demonstrated solid safety in market drawdowns. Consumer Staples exposure is now at 22%. I estimate the fund yields 3.48% at current prices. HDV also features decent mid-single-digit sales and earnings growth rates, something not offered by higher-yielding funds, including SCHD.
