About Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (SCHO)

Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (SCHO) is an exchange-traded fund that aims to provide investors with exposure to short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The fund's objective is to track the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury 1-3 Year Index, which includes U.S. Treasury bonds and notes with remaining maturities between one and three years. Investing in Treasury securities can provide investors with a secure and low-risk option for their portfolios, as they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

With a focus on short-term Treasuries, SCHO aims to provide investors with a conservative investment option that can help preserve their capital. This ETF can be particularly attractive during times of market volatility, as short-term Treasuries tend to be less affected by interest rate fluctuations compared to long-term Treasuries. SCHO's holdings are diversified across a range of maturities, providing investors with exposure to various segments of the Treasury market.
