Our read on each fund
DIAA
SCHKA
In short
DIA The Dow in one ticker, trading since 1998. Thirty blue chips weighted by share price instead of company size, with membership decided by a committee rather than a formula. The odd one out among index funds, on purpose.
SCHK Schwab'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.
Stated mandate
DIA The fund seeks investment results that generally correspond to the price and yield performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
SCHK The fund seeks to track the total return of the Schwab 1000 Index before fees and expenses.
