FNDA

The Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company ETF (FNDA) invests almost entirely in U.S. small‑cap equities, using a fundamentally weighted index that selects companies based on metrics such as sales, operating cash flow, and dividend‑plus‑buyback yields. It tracks the Russell RAFI U.S. Small‑Company Index, which emphasizes value‑oriented, high‑quality firms and results in a diversified sector mix that includes industrials, financials, technology, consumer discretionary and others. The fund’s passive, rules‑based approach offers broad exposure to the small‑cap value segment of the market with systematic rebalancing. It may suit investors looking to add diversified small‑cap value exposure as a core holding or a complement to larger‑cap allocations, and who are comfortable with the higher volatility typical of small‑cap stocks.
