SCHKASchwab 1000 Index ETF

VXFAVanguard Extended Market 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.

VXF Everything the S&P 500 leaves out. VXF tracks the S&P Completion Index, roughly 3,400 US mid- and small-cap names, and a company promoted into the 500 gets dropped from here. The classic completion half of a large-cap core.

Stated mandate

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

VXF The fund seeks to track the investment performance of the S&P Completion Index, an unmanaged benchmark representing U.S. mid- and small-capitalization stocks.

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.

VXF Costs 0.05% a year, against a 0.45% median for its index-fund peer group. Vanguard has run it since 2001.
One ticker for the US market outside the S&P 500, about 3,400 stocks. Zero overlap by construction: index rules remove a company from the Completion Index as soon as the S&P 500 adds it.spglobal.com
Index-tracking discipline sits among the strongest in its peer group, and it is a multi-billion-dollar fund with steady daily volume. Distributions land quarterly.

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.

VXF Mid- and small-cap stocks swing harder than blue chips, and this index reaches well down the size scale. A bumpier ride than an S&P 500 fund.
It owns none of the S&P 500 by design, so on its own it is a slice of the US market rather than the whole thing.spglobal.com
A few funds in the same peer group run cheaper still (SCHK at 0.03%, SPYV at 0.04%), though they track different slices of the market.
