Over 90% of Schwab market cap index ETFs have expenses lower than 0.10%, asset-weighted average total expense ratio of 0.05%.2 The ETFs track an index of securities that are screened and weighted based on the size of their market capitalization, with the largest weights assigned to the largest companies, which helps advisors build a diversified portfolio for their clients.

Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs

While fund expense 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 total expense ratio for Schwab Fundamental Index ETFs is 0.28%—lower than the industry average of 0.46% for Fundamental Index ETFs,3 and the average expense ratio of 0.45% for multi-factor ETFs.4

2. Source: Schwab Asset Management, as of March 31, 2025, Expense ratios are subject to change. The asset-weighted average total expense ratio is a measure of the average annual cost of investing in a particular category of funds and takes into account the expense ratios of individual funds within the category and weights them based on their respective assets under management (AUM). The asset-weighted average total expense ratio is used because it can provide a more accurate representation of the average costs incurred by investors in a particular fund category relative to other averages since it takes into account the funds' relative sizes.

Investors should consider carefully information contained in the prospectus or, if available, the summary prospectus, including investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. You can view and download a prospectus by visiting www.schwabassetmanagement.com/prospectus. Please read it carefully before investing.

Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Shares of ETFs are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than the net asset value (NAV).

​Fixed income securities are subject to increased loss of principal during periods of rising interest rates. Fixed income investments are subject to various other risks including changes in credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, corporate events, tax ramifications, and other factors.

​Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) may be more sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed income investments. They are subject to extension risk, where borrowers extend the duration of their mortgages as interest rates rise, and prepayment risk, where borrowers pay off their mortgages earlier as interest rates fall. These risks may reduce returns.

The Schwab Core Bond ETF is actively managed exchange-traded funds and therefore does not seek to replicate the performance of any specific index. The fund may have a higher degree of portfolio turnover than funds that seek to replicate the performance of an index.

An actively-managed fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser and/or subadviser will select investments or allocate assets in a manner that could cause the fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its investment objective.

The funds may invest in U.S.-registered, dollar-denominated bonds of non-U.S. corporations. The funds' investments in bonds of non-U.S. issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may be heightened in connection with bonds issued by non-U.S. corporations and entities in emerging markets.

Diversification strategies do not ensure a profit and do not protect against losses in declining markets.

Not all Schwab ETFs can be considered core investments. Certain Schwab ETFs may provide a complement to core investments. Schwab Thematic ETFs and Schwab Actively Managed ETFs have complex investment strategies.  Please review each fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional Information to fully understand its investment objective, investment strategy and principal risks. Please visit www.schwabassetmanagement.com to learn more.

There can be no assurance that the Fundamental Index® methodologies will achieve their desired outcomes. Each investing strategy brings with it its own set of unique risks and benefits.
