SCHGASchwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF

VOOAVanguard S&P 500 ETF

In short

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.com sec.gov

Worth knowing

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.

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.
