📎 Investment Objective
The Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Global Small Cap ex US Index, which provides exposure to small-capitalization stocks in developed international markets.
🎯 Investment Strategy
The ETF uses a passively managed, full-replication approach to track the index. It invests in the same securities and in the same proportions as the underlying index, seeking to replicate its performance.
✨ Key Features
- Provides broad exposure to small-cap stocks in developed international markets outside the U.S.
- Diversified portfolio across multiple countries and sectors
- Low-cost, passively managed index fund structure
- Potential for higher long-term returns compared to large-cap international stocks
⚠️ Primary Risks
- Exposure to foreign markets, which may have higher volatility and less liquidity than U.S. markets
- Concentration in small-cap stocks, which can be more volatile and less liquid than large-cap stocks
- Currency risk as the fund's returns are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates
- Tracking error risk as the fund may not perfectly replicate the performance of the underlying index
👤 Best For
This ETF may be suitable for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation through exposure to small-cap international equities as part of a diversified portfolio. It may be appropriate for investors with a higher risk tolerance and a longer investment horizon.
