Our read on SCHI
AThe cheap middle of the corporate bond curve. SCHI holds roughly 2,300 investment-grade corporate bonds maturing in five to ten years, charges three basis points, and pays interest monthly.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, an index representing the intermediate-term U.S. corporate bond market.
Why people hold it
- 0.03% a year against a 0.19% median for investment-grade corporate bond funds. No peer in the group charges less.
- Follows the Bloomberg US 5-10 Year Corporate Bond Index closely, one of the tightest index implementations among intermediate corporate bond funds.schwabassetmanagement.com
- A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, the kind of scale that usually comes with narrow bid-ask spreads.
- About 2,300 bonds spread across the investment-grade corporate market, with income paid monthly rather than quarterly.
Worth knowing
- Five-to-ten-year maturities carry real rate sensitivity. When yields move, these bonds swing harder than short-term paper and softer than long bonds.
- Corporate credit only. No Treasuries, no mortgages, and nothing outside the five-to-ten-year window, so it's a slice of the bond market rather than the whole thing.schwabassetmanagement.com
- VCIT, IGIB and SPIB run near-identical mandates at similar cost, so the choice often comes down to index details and where you already hold accounts.
