SWISX is the ticker symbol for Schwab International Index Fund, a International Large Blend mutual fund managed by Schwab. The fund generally invests at least 80% of its net assets (including, for this purpose, any borrowings for investment purposes) in these stocks; typically, the actual percentage is considerably higher. The fund may invest in derivatives, principally futures contracts, and lend its securities to minimize the gap in performance that naturally exists between any index fund and its corresponding index.
SWISX has an expense ratio of 0.01% per year. On a $10,000 investment, that amounts to roughly $1 annually in fund fees. This is considered a very low-cost fund.
SWISX has posted a 1-year return of +18.39%, 3-year return of +15.91%, 5-year return of +8.84%, 10-year return of +9.34%. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Returns are annualized for periods greater than one year.
SWISX has no minimum initial investment requirement, making it accessible to all investors regardless of account size.
Whether SWISX is right for you depends on your investment goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Key factors to evaluate include its 0.01% expense ratio, International Large Blend category exposure, historical returns, and how it fits within your broader portfolio. We recommend comparing it against similar funds in the same category and consulting a qualified financial advisor.
