Schwab Crypto Thematic ETF
Summary
Objective
The fund’s goal is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of an index that is designed to deliver global exposure to companies that may benefit from the development or utilization of cryptocurrencies (including bitcoin) and other digital assets, and the business activities connected to blockchain and other distributed ledger technology.
Highlights
- Low-cost fund offering intra-day trading and potential tax efficiency
- Serves as a complement/diversifier to core exposures
- Potential to benefit from the increased adoption of cryptocurrencies both as a store of value and medium of exchange without owning cryptocurrencies like bitcoin directly and other digital assets
- Provides exposure to the growing crypto ecosystem through investing in companies that are focused on servicing the cryptocurrency market, including but not limited to: mining, trading, banking, or implementing applications of blockchain technology
As of February 12, 2025 the Schwab Crypto Thematic Index’s maximum threshold for companies with greater than or equal to 15% of revenue from securities related business has been lowered from 3.0% to 2.5%. Additionally, the index will no longer conduct threshold-based rebalancing for companies with greater than or equal to 15% of revenue from securities related business so these companies’ max weights will remain at 2.5% during rebalancing.
Please see the Schwab Crypto Thematic Index Methodology Document for details.
