GGUSBGoldman Sachs MarketBeta Russell 1000 Growth Equity ETF

SCHGASchwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF

In short

GGUS Goldman's plain-vanilla shelf. GGUS tracks the same Russell 1000 Growth index the household names use, charges 0.12%, and undercuts the category's median fee. No stock picking, no Goldman house view, just the growth half of US large caps.

SCHG Schwab's growth workhorse: roughly 200 large-cap U.S. growth names for four basis points, one of the cheapest tickets in a crowded category. Running since 2009 and among the most heavily traded growth funds around.

Stated mandate

GGUS The Fund seeks returns that closely track its underlying index before fees and expenses.

SCHG SCHG seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index. It generally invests in stocks included in that index, which represents large-cap U.S. growth equities.

Why people hold it

GGUS 0.12% a year: a third less than IWF on the identical Russell 1000 Growth index, and below the 0.18% median for US growth funds.
Its whole job is mirroring the Russell 1000 Growth Index before fees, and it is one of the closest trackers in its peer group.
About 400 large US growth names in one ticker, chosen by the index rather than a Goldman analyst. Distributions come quarterly.

SCHG 0.04% a year against a growth-category median of 0.18%. Costs sit near the floor of the group.
Hews closely to the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index, one of the tighter index implementations in its peer group.
Live since 2009, a multi-billion-dollar fund, and one of the busier tickers in the growth aisle, so entering and exiting is usually cheap and easy.
The benchmark is carved out of a total-market growth index, not S&P 500 membership, so a stock does not need an index committee's nod to qualify.

Worth knowing

GGUS Thinly traded next to the giants of this category, so bid-ask spreads can run wider and larger orders can move the price.
Not the cheapest door to this index: VONG tracks the same Russell 1000 Growth benchmark for 0.06%.
Launched in late 2023, so the record is short, and it owns only the growth side of large caps, with no value holdings as ballast.

SCHG Growth-only by design. Value and dividend-heavy corners of the market sit outside the mandate, so the ride differs from a total-market fund.
Large-cap U.S. only, roughly 200 stocks. No mid-caps, no small-caps, nothing overseas.
VUG charges a hair less for a similar broad-growth mandate. A tiny gap, but it is there. Distributions here arrive quarterly.
