SCHG ETF: A Guide to Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF
Price data last refreshed:
Overview
The Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF (SCHG) provides exposure to U.S. large-cap growth shares. Its low stated expense ratio sits alongside a distinctly concentrated portfolio: technology makes up more than half of sector exposure, and the ten largest holdings account for 61.194%. For Australian investors, U.S. share movements and currency changes both matter when considering its performance in Australian dollars.
Category
SCHG offers exposure to U.S. large-cap companies selected for growth characteristics. The portfolio is dominated by technology businesses, alongside substantial communication-services and consumer-cyclical exposure, so its growth theme is expressed through a concentrated group of large companies rather than broad sector balance.
SCHG’s reported returns are 11.944% year to date, 12.82% over one year, 27.17% over three years, 14.907% over five years and 18.204% over ten years. These figures provide historical context, not a forecast. The portfolio’s strong tilt towards large technology and communications companies means its results may be particularly sensitive to how growth-oriented U.S. shares perform. For Australian investors, exchange-rate movements can also influence returns in Australian dollars.

Risks
Who it may suit
May interest investors researching U.S. large-cap growth exposure who are comfortable with substantial technology-sector and top-holding concentration, as well as currency movements affecting Australian-dollar returns. This is general information, not a personal recommendation.
Key risks
The portfolio is concentrated: its ten largest holdings make up 61.194%, and technology accounts for 55.978% of sector exposure. A setback affecting major holdings or the technology sector could therefore have a notable effect on the fund. Growth shares may also be sensitive to changes in market expectations and interest rates. As a U.S.-domiciled, USD-denominated fund, SCHG carries currency exposure for Australian investors; the supplied dividend yield is 0.376% and may vary.
