Which Broad Market ETF Wins for Your Portfolio, the iShares ITOT or Schwab's SCHB?

Key PointsBoth ETFs offer identical, industry-leading expense ratios of 0.03%.

Two popular ETFs for broad market exposure in U.S. stocks are the iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF (ITOT) and the Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF (SCHB). These funds aim to provide investors with comprehensive, low-cost access to the entire domestic equity market, covering large-, mid-, and small-cap companies in a single investment vehicle.

Despite tracking slightly different indices, their performance is nearly identical, making them reliable core components for long-term portfolios. Beta, a measure of price volatility relative to the S&P 500, is calculated using monthly returns over the fund's history, up to five years. The 1-year return represents the total return over the past year. Dividend yield reflects the annual distribution yield based on the trailing-12-month period.
