Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF (SCHC) offers broad ex-US small-cap exposure, low 0.06% fees, and strong diversification across 2,182 holdings. SCHC has outperformed large/mid-cap international benchmarks since inception but lags factor-driven peers like AVDV and ISCF in recent and risk-adjusted returns. The fund provides a 3.28% yield and 149% dividend growth since 2015, appealing to income-seeking investors despite an irregular distribution history.
With the Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF, investors need not fear international small caps. They can embrace this potent asset class.
