Company Announcements
Schwab Asset Management recently announced forward share splits on 20 of its ETFs. This move is a significant development in the ETF market.
The share splits will affect a range of Schwab ETFs, including those focused on large-cap and dividend equity. For example, the SCHG (Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF) will undergo a 4-for-1 split, while the SCHD (Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF) will be split 3-for-1.
