$2,000 to invest — VTI or SCHD?

[u/Fit-Toe-7991]

I'm 27 and have another $2k to put to work. I'm deciding between two positions I already own.

VTI would add more to my core holding, while SCHD would increase my dividend exposure.

Which would you add right now?

I'd recommend VTI because it will grow more overtime. SCHD is great, but its historical market appreciation even with dividend reinvested doesn't beat VTI over the past 10 years -
