Our read on SCHK
ASchwab's house-built alternative to the S&P 500: the 1,000 largest US companies in one passive wrapper, reaching past the mega-caps into mid-cap turf, priced at three basis points.
The fund seeks to track the total return of the Schwab 1000 Index before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- 0.03% a year, the lowest fee among the top-scoring funds in its index-wrapper group and a small fraction of what the typical fund there charges.
- About 1,000 stocks covering roughly 90% or more of US stock market value: the S&P 500 names plus a layer of mid caps most large-blend funds skip.schwabassetmanagement.com
- Tracks its stated index tightly and stands among the strongest implementations in its peer group of plain index wrappers.
- A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively and pays distributions quarterly.
Worth knowing
- Weighted by market value, so the biggest US companies drive the bulk of results. Those extra 500 names carry less weight than the headcount suggests.schwabassetmanagement.com
- All-US, all-equity by mandate: no bonds, no foreign stocks, and it rides the full swings of the US market.
- The benchmark is Schwab's own proprietary index, so there is no rival fund on the identical yardstick for a side-by-side comparison.
