Fund Details
Schwab 1000 Index® Overview
Schwab 1000 Index® (SNXFX) is a passively managed U.S. Equity Large Blend fund. Schwab Funds launched the fund in 1991.
The investment seeks to match the total return of the Schwab 1000 Index®. The fund generally invests at least 80% of its net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) in these stocks; typically, the actual percentage is considerably higher. It generally will seek to replicate the performance of the index by giving the same weight to a given stock as the index does. The 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.

There are 4 members of the management team with an average tenure of 8.30 years: Christopher Bliss (2017), Ferian Juwono (2013), Jeremy Brown (2019), Agnes Zau (2023). Management tenure is more important for actively managed funds than passive index funds.

Assets Under Management
The fund has $22 billion in total assets, which is above the $6 billion average for the Large Blend category. Normally, lower assets under management translates to higher average expense ratios, and greater total assets are desired. 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.
SNXFX Performance and Fees
The expense ratio measures how much of a fund’s assets are used for administrative expenses and operating expenses, including adviser fees and fees for the transfer agent and custodial services. The Schwab 1000 Index® expense ratio is low compared to funds in the Large Blend category. Schwab 1000 Index® has an expense ratio of 0.05%, which is 94% 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 Index® has a portfolio turnover rate of 3%, indicating that holds its assets around 0.3 years. By way of comparison, the average portfolio turnover is 48% for the Large Blend category.
Recently, in the month of June 2026, Schwab 1000 Index® returned -0.6%, which earned it a grade of C, as the Large Blend category had an average return of -0.2%. The letter grades of A, B, C, D and F are based upon relative rankings within the investment category. A grade of A, for example, would indicate that the return is in the highest 20% for that time period compared to all funds in that category.
Schwab 1000 Index® has a trailing yield of 0.99%, which is above the 0.56% category average. The fund normally distributes its income annually and its capital gains annually.
It’s natural to seek the best-performing investments, but you must consider the relationship between risk and return and the impact of costs and taxes on your realized returns.
Schwab 1000 Index® Grades
Year to date, the fund has returned 10.7%, 1.6 percentage points better than the category, which translates into a grade of B.
