SCHBASchwab U.S. Broad Market ETF

SPGMAState Street SPDR Portfolio MSCI Global Stock Market ETF

In short

SCHB Schwab's one-ticket slice of nearly the whole US market: roughly 2,400 stocks for 0.03% a year, half the typical fee among total-market rivals. Running since 2009, with one of the tightest index-tracking records in its peer group.

SPGM One ticker for the whole investable world. SPGM tracks MSCI's ACWI IMI index, holding roughly 2,900 stocks across developed and emerging markets, and charges 0.09% a year to do it.

Stated mandate

SCHB The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Stock Market Index.

SPGM The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return performance of the MSCI ACWI IMI Index.

Why people hold it

  • SCHB 0.03% a year, half the 0.06% median for its total-market cohort. Three dollars a year per $10,000 invested.
  • Tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Stock Market Index tightly, among the closest index replication in its peer group.schwabassetmanagement.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund and one of the most actively traded in its category, which usually means narrow bid-ask spreads for buyers and sellers.
  • Live since 2009, with a quarterly dividend cadence and roughly 2,400 holdings behind it.
  • SPGM 0.09% a year, against a 0.45% median for the index-wrapper funds it competes with. That gap compounds quietly in your favor.
  • Roughly 2,900 stocks in one line item: US, developed foreign, emerging. No rebalancing between three regional funds, no home-country blind spot.ssga.com
  • Pure replication, done tightly: the fund has stuck close to the MSCI ACWI IMI index it promises, one of the cleaner implementations among the index trackers we cover.ssga.com
  • Live since 2012 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, so it is not a launch-year experiment hunting for assets.

Worth knowing

  • SCHB Not the cheapest ticket in the cohort: BBUS charges 0.02%. At these levels the gap is pennies, but it exists.
  • Broad, not exhaustive. Roughly 2,400 stocks covers the bulk of the US market rather than every listed company.
  • Pure equity exposure with no hedge or buffer, so it moves with the full US market in both directions.
  • SPGM Vanguard's VT covers similar all-world ground for 0.06%. Small gap, but real if fee is your only tiebreaker.
  • Owning the world means owning its currencies and its emerging markets. Foreign swings show up in your return, unsmoothed.
  • Moderately traded rather than a volume monster, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the busiest global funds.
