Overview

The Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF (SCHG) is a $63.9 billion fund issued by Schwab ETFs, holding 57.2% of its assets in its top ten positions with NVIDIA Corp as the largest single holding at 11.0%. It carries an ETFValuer grade of B, reflecting a score of 70.0 out of 100, and ranks 8 of 13 within the US Large Cap Growth category. The fund’s expense ratio of 0.04% is significantly lower than the category median of 0.15%, while its dividend yield of 0.38% sits slightly below the median of 0.41%. This cost advantage and moderate income profile contribute to its overall standing among peers.

Price action shows the fund trading at $36.87, which is 97.5% of its 52-week range, indicating it is near the top of its recent historical bounds. Short-term momentum is evident with a 1-month return of +4.70% and a 3-month gain of +6.85%, though the 1-year return of +14.49% trails the category median of +14.82%. The rating was upgraded from C to B on 2026-09-24, coinciding with a strong 3-year return of +98.10%. However, the available price history is limited to 3.0 years, which constrains the long-term view of its performance consistency.

With a beta of 1.22, the fund exhibits higher sensitivity to market movements compared to the broader index. Annualized volatility of 16.82% is classified as Moderate, while a Sharpe ratio of 0.56 suggests moderate risk-adjusted returns relative to the risk taken. The maximum drawdown of -23.39% highlights the potential for significant temporary losses during downturns. Liquidity is robust, supported by an average daily volume of 7,287,938 shares, facilitating easy entry and exit for investors.

SCHG Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Average daily volume is 7.3M/day. Higher volume and a larger fund generally mean lower round-trip trading costs. AUM of $63.9B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: SCHG is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
