Schwab Large-Cap Growth Fund (SWLSX)

Overview

The fund primarily focuses on investment in U.S. common stocks, aiming to adhere to its investment objectives by constructing a portfolio majorly composed of large-cap stocks from U.S. companies. By prioritizing investments that include a mix of derivatives, primarily futures contracts, the fund seeks to optimize returns on uninvested cash. Additional investments in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs) provide a diversified approach towards achieving its goal. The strategy places a significant emphasis on investing at least 80% of its net assets, considering borrowings for investment purposes, in large-cap U.S. stocks under normal circumstances.
