SCHKASchwab 1000 Index ETF

VOTEATCW Transform 500 ETF

In short

SCHK Schwab's house-built alternative to the S&P 500: the 1,000 largest US companies in one passive wrapper, reaching past the mega-caps into mid-cap turf, priced at three basis points.

VOTE An index fund with a second job. VOTE holds roughly 500 of the largest US companies at a 0.05% fee, then uses its proxy ballots and meetings with management to push for change instead of screening companies out.

Stated mandate

SCHK The fund seeks to track the total return of the Schwab 1000 Index before fees and expenses.

VOTE The fund seeks to track a market-cap-weighted index of the 500 largest U.S. public companies. It is designed as low-cost core U.S. market exposure, with proxy voting and company engagement intended to encourage transformational change.

Why people hold it

SCHK 0.03% a year, the lowest fee among the top-scoring funds in its index-wrapper group and a small fraction of what the typical fund there charges.
About 1,000 stocks covering roughly 90% or more of US stock market value: the S&P 500 names plus a layer of mid caps most large-blend funds skip.schwabassetmanagement.com
Tracks its stated index tightly and stands among the strongest implementations in its peer group of plain index wrappers.
A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively and pays distributions quarterly.

VOTE 0.05% a year for core large-cap US exposure, a fraction of what the typical fund in its index-tracking peer group charges.
No ESG exclusions. You own the big-company lineup like any core index fund, and the activism happens through voting and dialogue with management, not by dropping names.tcw.com
Launched in 2021 and run by TCW, with a dedicated active-ownership team behind the proxy voting and engagement program.tcw.com
Among the strongest implementations in its cohort of plain index wrappers: the portfolio delivers the exposure printed on the label.

Worth knowing

SCHK Weighted by market value, so the biggest US companies drive the bulk of results. Those extra 500 names carry less weight than the headcount suggests.schwabassetmanagement.com
All-US, all-equity by mandate: no bonds, no foreign stocks, and it rides the full swings of the US market.
The benchmark is Schwab's own proprietary index, so there is no rival fund on the identical yardstick for a side-by-side comparison.

VOTE Thinly traded next to the household-name large-cap funds, so spreads can widen. Patient limit orders matter more here.
It tracks its own index of the 500 largest US companies, not the S&P 500, so names and weights won't line up with S&P-based funds one for one.
The difference is stewardship, not the holdings. Engagement results depend on how other shareholders vote, and the portfolio itself looks like standard large-cap core.tcw.com
