SCHBASchwab U.S. Broad Market ETF

VOOAVanguard S&P 500 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.

VOO Not a standalone ETF but a share class of Vanguard's flagship 500 Index Fund: the same roughly 500 large US companies, 0.03% a year, in a wrapper you can trade all day.

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.

VOO The fund invests in stocks represented by the S&P 500 Index and seeks to closely track that index's return as a measure of overall U.S. stock performance.

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.
  • VOO 0.03% a year against a 0.15% median for S&P 500 trackers. On a fund this size, that fee gap is the whole product.
  • Holds the index outright, all roughly 500 names, and its tracking record sits among the tightest in the S&P 500 group.vanguard.com
  • One of the most actively traded ETFs in the market, which tends to keep the cost of getting in and out small.
  • It is the ETF share class of Vanguard's 500 Index Fund, and Vanguard is owned by its own funds, so no outside parent takes a cut.vanguard.comsec.gov

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.
  • VOO Large US companies only, weighted by size, so the biggest few names carry the most weight and drive much of the move.spglobal.com
  • Membership is not purely mechanical: an S&P index committee decides which companies come in and go out.spglobal.com
  • SPYM tracks the same index for 0.02%. A rounding error for most, but real if cost is your only tiebreaker.
