About Schwab 1-5 Year Corporate Bond ETF (SCHJ)

Schwab 1-5 Year Corporate Bond ETF (SCHJ) is an exchange-traded fund that aims to track the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond 1-5 Year Index. This index includes investment-grade corporate bonds with remaining maturities between one and five years. SCHJ provides investors with exposure to short to intermediate-term corporate bonds, offering potential income and capital preservation. The fund seeks to replicate the performance of the index by investing in a diversified portfolio of corporate bonds issued by U.S. companies across various sectors and industries.

With a focus on shorter-term bond maturities, SCHJ may appeal to investors looking for stable income with relatively lower interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, shorter-term bonds tend to be less sensitive to changes in market rates compared to longer-term bonds. This can help mitigate potential losses in a rising rate environment. SCHJ provides investors with a convenient way to access a diversified portfolio of corporate bonds with a targeted maturity range, helping to manage credit and interest rate risks.
