SCHCASchwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF

TISCDThrivent International Small Cap ETF

In short

SCHC The bargain end of international small caps: Schwab charges 0.06% where the typical fund in this group sits near 0.40%. Roughly 2,200 stocks from developed markets outside the US, with Canada and South Korea in the mix.

TISC Most international small-cap ETFs just track an index. TISC goes the other way: Thrivent's own managers pick developed-market small caps outside the US, spread across roughly 600 names in growth, value and core styles.

Stated mandate

SCHC The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the FTSE Developed Small Cap ex US Liquid Index.

TISC The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

SCHC 0.06% a year, against a peer-group median near 0.40%. In a corner of the market where fees usually run high, that gap is most of the pitch.schwabassetmanagement.com
About 2,200 holdings across developed markets outside the US. Broad enough that it behaves like the asset class rather than a concentrated bet.
Counts Canada and South Korea as developed markets, covering ground that EAFE-built rivals such as SCZ leave out by design.schwabassetmanagement.com ishares.com
Trading since 2010 and has tracked its FTSE developed small-cap benchmark tightly, one of the cleaner index implementations in its peer group.

TISC Active in a corner of the market dominated by index trackers. There is no underlying index to hug; Thrivent's in-house managers choose the non-US developed-market small caps.thriventfunds.com thriventfunds.com 2
Active without being a concentrated bet: roughly 600 holdings, spanning growth, value and core styles.thriventfunds.com
Developed markets only, so it skips the emerging-market slice built into all-world ex-US small-cap funds like VSS.thriventfunds.com
Run by a Fortune 500 firm that has managed an active small-mid cap ETF since 2022, so this is not its first ETF rodeo.thrivent.com thriventfunds.com

Worth knowing

SCHC Foreign small caps swing harder than large caps, and holdings are priced in local currencies, so exchange-rate moves feed straight into results.
Developed markets only. Emerging-market small caps sit outside the mandate, which is where wider ex-US peers like VSS reach further.
Moderately traded rather than a top-of-tape name, and distributions land once or twice a year instead of quarterly.

TISC Costs 0.55% a year, above the category median of 0.47% and many times the 0.06% charged by index staples SCHC and VSS. Stockpicking is the thing you are paying for.
Launched in June 2026, so there is no multi-year record to judge the managers' international small-cap calls against.thrivent.com
Younger and smaller than the category's index heavyweights, so it changes hands less often, which can widen the gap between bid and ask.
