RKSGCRuk Strategic Growth ETF

SCHGASchwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF

In short

RKSG Three screens (growth, momentum, value) folded into one passive US stock index instead of three separate funds. A 2026 launch charging 0.50% in a corner of the market where the giants charge pennies.

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

RKSG The Fund passively seeks to track the pre-fee total return of the Ruk Strategic Growth Index.

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

RKSG One wrapper, three factor screens: the Ruk Strategic Growth Index blends growth, momentum and value, so you're not stacking three single-factor funds to get a multifactor tilt.
Rules, not hunches. It passively tracks a published index rather than leaning on a manager's stock picks, so holdings are set by the index methodology.
Plain plumbing: a 1940 Act US equity ETF. No K-1, no commodity-pool paperwork, just a standard fund holding US stocks.

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

RKSG Fee gap is real: 0.50% a year against the largest US growth index funds at 0.03% to 0.06% (VUG, SCHG, VONG). The multifactor blend has to earn that difference.
It launched in 2026, so the record is short and the asset base is small. Thin trading tends to mean wider bid-ask spreads than the household-name growth funds.
The index is the issuer's own, and there isn't yet enough history to see how tightly the fund hugs it. Growth is the goal here, not income.

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.
