Schwab US Small-Cap ETF

Schwab US Small-Cap ETF

Schwab US Small‑Cap ETF (SCHA) offers broad exposure to US small-capitalisation companies through a low-cost, market‑weighted fund managed by Charles Schwab. It seeks to track a small‑cap index, providing diversified access to hundreds of smaller US-listed firms across sectors. Investors often use SCHA to complement large‑cap holdings, potentially enhancing long‑term growth and diversification, though small caps can be more volatile and sensitive to economic cycles. As an ETF, SCHA trades like a stock on exchanges, making it easy to buy or sell during market hours. It typically has a low expense ratio, but investors should also consider bid‑ask spreads, tracking error, and tax implications. This is general educational information and not personalised advice; returns are not guaranteed and the value of an investment can fall as well as rise. Suitability will depend on an individual’s goals, risk tolerance and investment horizon.
