From AI sell-offs to oil spikes, investors have plenty of reasons to seek stability. Here are some ETFs that may help investors achieve stability.

Schwab US Large-Cap Value ETF outperformed expectations, returning ~23.6% vs. S&P 500's ~19% since July 2025, driven by evolving sector exposures. SCHV's portfolio now features increased AI infrastructure and technology weights, with Micron Technology leading at ~4%, reflecting the index's annual style-lock methodology. SpaceX's recent inclusion, though immaterial in weight, highlights SCHV's active-like sleeve and growth-tilted value approach, not a dilution of its core strategy.

Schwab US Large-Cap Value ETF recently acquired a small position in SpaceX post-IPO, raising concerns about style drift from its value mandate. At first glance, SpaceX's inclusion appears inconsistent with SCHV's value criteria, given its unprofitability, high price-to-book, and growth-focused capital allocation. SCHV's policy allows up to 10% of assets outside its core methodology, likely explaining the SpaceX position as a preemptive move for future index inclusion.

Markets remain volatile amid geopolitical tensions, inflation concerns and tech weakness, which have driven renewed interest in value ETF investing as a defensive strategy.
