SCHBASchwab U.S. Broad Market ETF

VTHRBVanguard Russell 3000 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.

VTHR Most total-market ETFs track CRSP or S&P benchmarks. VTHR tracks the Russell 3000, the yardstick a lot of institutions actually report against, and charges 0.06% 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.

VTHR The fund uses an indexing approach to track the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 98% of the U.S. equity market.

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.

VTHR The cheap seat on the Russell 3000: 0.06% a year, against 0.20% for IWV, the other ETF built on the same index.
One line item covers roughly 98% of the investable US equity market, mega caps down through small caps.vanguard.com
Vanguard has run it since 2010 with tracking that stays very tight to the index, so what lands in your account is the benchmark less a thin fee.
Plain vanilla plumbing: an index fund in a standard 1940 Act ETF wrapper, paying distributions quarterly.

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.

VTHR Vanguard's own VTI covers nearly the same market for 0.03%. The extra basis points here buy you the Russell index specifically.
It trades thinly next to the giants in the total-market aisle, so limit orders and avoiding the open and close matter more.
The Russell 3000 rebuilds its membership on an annual reconstitution schedule, so index changes arrive on a calendar rather than continuously.vanguard.com
