SCHKASchwab 1000 Index ETF

XJRBiShares ESG Select Screened S&P Small-Cap 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.

XJR XJR lays a light ESG screen over the S&P SmallCap 600, an index that only admits companies with positive earnings. Tobacco, thermal coal, oil sands and weapons get struck out; the rest of the small-cap field stays.

Stated mandate

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

XJR The fund seeks to track small-capitalization U.S. equities through an index that applies environmental, social, and governance screens for controversies and controversial business activities.

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.
  • XJR Costs 0.12% a year, roughly a quarter of the median fee among the index-tracking funds it competes with.
  • The parent S&P SmallCap 600 admits only companies with positive earnings in the latest quarter and the trailing four, so unprofitable small caps never make the list.spglobal.com
  • Exclusions are spelled out: controversial weapons, small arms, tobacco, oil sands and shale, thermal coal, fossil fuel reserves. You can check what got left out.ishares.com

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.
  • XJR A smaller fund that trades lightly. Spreads can widen, so limit orders do real work here.
  • The screen removes offenders rather than ranking companies on sustainability. A firm clears by avoiding the listed businesses and serious controversies.ishares.com
  • Small caps swing harder than large caps in both directions, and the earnings rule softens that without erasing it.spglobal.com
