Investment Summary
📎 Investment Objective
The Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company ETF seeks to track the performance of the Russell RAFI US Small Company Index, which measures the performance of small-capitalization U.S. equities based on their fundamental characteristics.
🎯 Investment Strategy
The ETF invests in a representative sample of securities included in the underlying index in proportion to their weightings in the index. The index selects and weights companies based on measures of company size, including adjusted sales, retained operating cash flow, and dividends plus buybacks, rather than just market capitalization.
✨ Key Features
- Exposure to a diversified portfolio of small-cap U.S. stocks selected and weighted based on fundamental factors
- Potential for enhanced returns compared to traditional market-cap weighted small-cap indexes
- Low expense ratio of 0.00%
- Suitable for investors seeking small-cap equity exposure as part of a diversified portfolio
⚠️ Primary Risks
- Concentration in small-cap stocks, which may be more volatile and less liquid than large-cap stocks
- Potential for underperformance compared to the broader small-cap market during certain market conditions
- Exposure to market risk and economic conditions affecting the U.S. equity market
- Tracking error risk, as the fund may not perfectly replicate the performance of the underlying index
👤 Best For
The Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company ETF may be suitable for long-term investors seeking exposure to small-cap U.S. equities as part of a diversified portfolio. It may be particularly appealing to investors who believe in the potential benefits of fundamental-based indexing strategies. However, due to the higher volatility of small-cap stocks, this ETF may not be appropriate for investors with a short investment horizon or low risk tolerance.
