The Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund is a mutual fund that seeks to track the performance of the entire U.S. stock market by investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks of all sizes and sectors. It is managed by Charles Schwab Investment Management and uses a passive investment strategy, which means it seeks to replicate the performance of a market index, rather than trying to beat it.
The fund tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index, which includes approximately 3,000 U.S. stocks, representing nearly 100% of the total U.S. stock market capitalization. The fund aims to provide investors with broad exposure to the U.S. equity market, allowing them to participate in the long-term growth potential of U.S. companies across all sectors and industries.
The Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund has a low expense ratio, making it a cost-effective option for investors seeking broad market exposure. It is available in both mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) formats, providing investors with flexibility in choosing the investment vehicle that best suits their needs.
