Our read on SCHX
ASchwab's no-frills large-cap core: roughly 800 US big names for three basis points, running since 2009. One of the cheapest tickets in a crowded category, and it hugs its index tightly.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market Index.
Why people hold it
- 0.03% a year, well under the typical US large-cap fund's fee. That is the kind of cost floor only the biggest fund shops can hold.
- About 800 stocks tracking the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market Index before fees. No themes, no screens, no manager hunches.schwabassetmanagement.com
- Tracking has been among the tightest in its peer group: the fund delivers its index with very little slippage.
- Live since 2009 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades heavily, so spreads stay thin and the lights are unlikely to go out.
Worth knowing
- Large caps only, despite the index name. Mid and small caps live in a separate fund, so this is one slice of the market, not all of it.
- Three basis points is cheap, not free: BKLC in the same peer group runs at zero.
- Dividends land quarterly, not monthly, which matters if you're building an income schedule.
