IVOGAVanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF

SCHKASchwab 1000 Index ETF

In short

IVOG The growth half of the S&P MidCap 400, wrapped by Vanguard for a tenth of a percent. About 240 medium-size US companies chosen by a published growth screen, in a plain index fund priced well under the typical index wrapper.

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

IVOG The fund seeks to track the S&P MidCap 400 Growth Index, which represents medium-size U.S. growth companies.

SCHK The fund seeks to track the total return of the Schwab 1000 Index before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  • IVOG 0.10% a year against a 0.45% median for index-wrapper peers. Fee is the one input you actually control, and this one stays small.
  • Fills the mid-cap gap most portfolios skip: roughly 240 medium-size US companies sorted by S&P's growth and momentum screen, not a manager's hunch.vanguard.com
  • Trading since 2010, and built as an ETF share class of Vanguard's S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth Index Fund, so the ETF and the mutual fund run off one portfolio.vanguard.com
  • One of the tightest label-to-portfolio matches among the index wrappers we track: it holds the index it advertises, with no side quests.
  • SCHK 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

  • IVOG Thinly traded next to the big broad-market names, so bid/ask spreads can be wider and order type matters more.
  • Mid-cap growth moves harder than the total market in both directions. This is one slice of US equity, not a whole-market holding.
  • Income is an afterthought here: distributions land once or twice a year, not quarterly.
  • SCHK 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.
