VIG offers much more dividend growth potential.

After going through its annual reconstitution, the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD) lost some of its fastest-growing dividend stocks and replaced them with much slower dividend-growth stocks. As such, based on its mix of top holdings, I believe the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG 0.98%) has more growth potential moving forward.
