Investing Port

SCHB is Charles Schwab's entry into the all cap equity ETF space, and offers investors a way to access more than 1,500 companies across various sectors and sizes. As such, this fund has the potential to be utilized as core holding of a long-term, buy-and-hold portfolio or as a means of establishing quick exposure to risky securities as part of a shorter-term strategy. For investors with a long-term focus, SCHB is appealing in terms of balance of holdings and minimal fees. Concentration in any one name is minimal, and every sector of the U.S. economy is represented. From an expense perspective, SCHB is one of the cheapest options out there, and the option to trade this fund commission free in Schwab accounts further enhances the value proposition for cost-conscious investors. For investors seeking broad-based, low-cost exposure to U.S. equities, SCHB is one of the best ETF options out there (VTI is another good option).
