HDV can be an effective defense play for your dividend portfolio, contributing to reducing its volatility. The ETF pays a Dividend Yield [TTM] of 3.36%, and due to its focus on the Energy Sector and Consumer Defensive Sector, this ETF is an effective complement to SCHD. Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson, Chevron, AbbVie and Verizon are the five largest positions of HDV; I see each of these companies as strategic elements to reduce portfolio volatility.

Being a dividend investor helps ride out market shifts by providing regular cash distributions, reducing emotional reactions to market fluctuations. iShares Core High Dividend ETF has historically underperformed peers due to focus on high dividend companies with slower growth. HDV's defensive holdings in energy, consumer staples, and utilities make it a suitable choice during market downturns, offering stability and consistent income.
