Schwab Emphasizing High Value, Low Cost with New Large-Cap ETFs
Friday, December 11th, 2009Michael Johnston submits:
Charles Schwab (SCHW) has expanded its line of low cost ETFs from four to six, adding the Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF (SCHG) and Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF (SCHV) to its lineup on Friday. Similar to the four funds launched in November, these large cap ETFs can be bought and sold commission free online in Schwab accounts. Schwab’s initial four funds had included a large cap (SCHX), broad market (SCHB), small cap (SCHA) and international equity (SCHF) ETFs.
“Individual investors and investment advisors count on Schwab for products which provide exceptional value, and our clients have indicated an interest in ETFs as a way to invest in and trade entire segments of the market,” said Peter Crawford, senior vice president at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. “These two new ETFs allow investors to tilt their portfolios based on whichever style, growth or value, they think will lead the market in the future.”
