Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs

While fund expense alone should not be the only factor in choosing a strategic beta strategy, selecting a strategy with a low expense ratio remains an important consideration—especially over long time horizons. The average expense ratio for Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs is 0.30%—lower than the industry average of 0.33% for Fundamental Index ETFs,2 and the average expense ratio of 0.47% for multi-factor ETFs.3
