ETF Details
Schwab 1000 ETF Overview
Schwab 1000 ETF (SCHK) is a passively managed U.S. Equity Large Blend exchange-traded fund (ETF). Schwab ETFs launched the ETF in 2017.

The Schwab 1000 Index is a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that includes the 1,000 largest stocks of publicly traded companies in the United States, with size being determined by market capitalization (total market value of all shares outstanding). It is the fund's policy that under normal circumstances it will invest at least 90% of its net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) in stocks included in the index.

Assets Under Management
The fund has $5 billion in total assets, which is below the $13 billion average for the Large Blend category.

However, for some investment categories, such as small-cap investing, it may be difficult for the manager to fully employ the desired active strategy if assets grow too large or too quickly.

Schwab 1000 ETF has an expense ratio of 0.03%, which is 93% lower than its category average, making the fund expense ratio grade a A. While it is difficult to predict returns, it is known that high annual expense ratios reduce your rate of return, and excessive fees are difficult to overcome. Active management normally comes with higher expense ratios than passive index management. Certain investment categories such as small company and foreign also normally have higher expense ratios. It is best to compare fund expense ratios against the category averages for meaningful assessments.
High portfolio turnover can translate to higher expenses and lower aftertax returns. Schwab 1000 ETF has a portfolio turnover rate of 3%, which indicates that it holds its assets around / 0.3 years. By way of comparison, the average portfolio turnover is 162% for the Large Blend category.
