DSPYBTema S&P 500 Historical Weight ETF Strategy

SCHXASchwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF

In short

DSPY Most S&P 500 funds either ride today's market caps or flatten everyone to equal weight. DSPY splits the difference, holding the same roughly 500 names at their average weights since 1989, so the mega-caps shrink without disappearing.

SCHX Schwab'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.

Stated mandate

DSPY The Fund seeks long-term growth through a historical-weight interpretation of the S&P 500 Index.

SCHX 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

  • DSPY The mechanism is the whole pitch: each S&P 500 member is sized at its long-run average weight since 1989, trimming today's top-heavy tilt without going all the way to equal weight.wboc.com
  • 0.18% a year, a fraction of the typical active US equity fund and level with the cheap end of active core large-cap (FELC 0.18%, versus DYNF at 0.26%).
  • Full index breadth, about 500 stocks, with quarterly distributions. It re-slices the S&P 500 rather than trying to pick which names win.
  • On cost and portfolio construction it stands out as one of the stronger builds in a crowded active US equity field.
  • SCHX 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

  • DSPY Launched in 2025, so the live record is short next to decades-old core index funds, and there is limited history to judge the weighting rule through a full cycle.
  • Volume is light next to the giant S&P 500 funds, so spreads and limit orders matter more than they would in a mega-cap tracker.
  • By design it holds different weights than the cap-weighted S&P 500, so its results separate from the benchmark most people mean when they say 'the S&P 500'.stockanalysis.com
  • SCHX 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.
