The Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF (SCHG) endeavors to faithfully replicate the total investment performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index. Its primary objective is to mirror this benchmark's returns with the highest possible accuracy, excluding its own operational costs and management fees.
Is SCHG's expense ratio expensive, average, or a steal for its category?
Pro reveals the verdict on a 5-tier spectrum calibrated against ICI 2025 industry averages, with strategy-aware bands so the comparison is meaningful.

One account legally strips taxes from contributions, growth, and withdrawals all at once, and most people who have it are leaving the compounding power almost entirely on the table. Three ETFs can fix that problem for good.

SCHG markets itself as a diversified large-cap growth fund, but a closer look at its holdings reveals a much narrower bet, and that structural quirk may explain why growth investors keep watching SPY and QQQ pull ahead.

Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF remains a high-quality, resilient large-cap growth fund but is rated 'hold' due to a superior alternative in GARP. GARP offers strong earnings growth rates, a cheaper forward P/E, and even higher quality fundamentals, outperforming SCHG by 7.33% since my last review. Both ETFs have high allocation to tech stocks, and with decelerating earnings growth rates forecast for next year, investors should expect some P/E compression to offset roughly 20% EPS growth.

The Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF (SCHG) has outperformed the S&P 500 since December 2009, and has done even better in the past 10 years. If SCHG delivers the same 18.2% average annual return for the next 10 years, it could skyrocket your investment growth.

Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX) is the fund that made Will Danoff a household name in active management.
