Description: SCHO Schwab Short-Term U.S.

The Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (SCHO) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of an index composed of U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining maturity between one and three years. As an index-tracking fund, it employs a passive investment strategy, which typically results in lower expense ratios compared to actively managed funds. The fund must invest at least 90% of its net assets in securities included in the underlying index, and eligible securities must be denominated in U.S. dollars, fixed-rate, non-convertible, rated investment grade, and have at least $300 million in outstanding face value. Short-duration U.S. Treasury ETFs like SCHO are generally used by investors seeking exposure to government debt securities with limited interest rate risk relative to longer-dated bond funds.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Fed rate cut expectations drive short-end Treasury inflows
  • Rising U.S. Treasury supply pressures short-term bond prices
  • Competition from rival short-term Treasury ETFs compresses fees
