SCHGASchwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF

VOOGBVanguard S&P 500 Growth 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.

VOOG VOOG owns the growth half of the S&P 500: the same large caps you already know, re-sorted by sales growth, earnings-change-to-price and momentum. A style tilt built inside a familiar index, priced near the bottom of the growth shelf.

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.

VOOG The fund aims to track the investment returns of large-cap growth stocks in the United States by following the S&P 500 Growth Index.

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.

VOOG Costs 0.07% a year versus a 0.18% median for US growth funds. On a plain index slice, that gap is most of the argument.
Every holding is already an S&P 500 member, ranked on three growth factors: sales growth, earnings change to price, and momentum. A slice of a known index, not a new universe.spglobal.com vanguard.com
Straight index tracking, no active discretion, and one of the stronger implementations in its growth peer group. Vanguard has run it since 2010.vanguard.com
A multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund that pays quarterly, so getting in and out is rarely the hard part.

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.

VOOG SPYG tracks the same S&P 500 Growth Index for a lower fee. Identical index, different sticker.
Not pure growth. S&P splits part of the parent index across both its growth and value benchmarks, so some names show up in both.spglobal.com
About 210 names, weighted by market cap, so the largest positions drive most of the movement.spglobal.com
