The Schwab Fundamental US Broad Market Index ETF (Ticker: FNDB) is a distinctive investment vehicle tailored for those seeking comprehensive exposure to the U.S. equity market with a unique twist. Unlike traditional market-cap weighted indices, this ETF employs a fundamental indexing approach, which means it selects and weights securities based on objective financial measures of company size, such as adjusted sales, retained operating cash flow, and dividends plus buybacks, rather than market capitalization. This strategy aims to provide investors with the potential for enhanced returns by focusing on long-term value creation principles.
Categorized under Size and Style with a focus on the Total Market, FNDB offers broad-based exposure while maintaining an emphasis on fundamental strength across a wide array of U.S. companies. This ETF is particularly suitable for investors who are interested in diversifying their portfolios beyond traditional indexing methods and are looking for a strategy that seeks to capitalize on fundamental strengths for potential outperformance over time.
As part of its niche, FNDB captures a diverse cross-section of the American economy, making it an attractive option for those who wish to invest in a wide range of sectors and industries, from established giants to emerging contenders, all while adhering to a disciplined, fundamentals-driven investment philosophy. This approach not only broadens the investment horizon but also provides a more dynamic risk-return profile, appealing to investors who value both comprehensive market coverage and strategic fundamentals-based selection criteria.
