Looking for Growth? 3 Schwab ETFs to Consider Buying in February

"With investors increasingly rotating out of growth stocks and into more defensive names, it's been tough to hold steady with one's growth holdings in this environment. Indeed, picking single stocks can carry significant amounts of risk during periods of time in which the market is rebalancing. That said, for those who are looking for a more balanced approach to having high-growth exposure in the markets, exchange traded funds (ETFs) can be a great option to consider."

"One of the key reasons why the U.S. market continues to dominate most investor portfolios is due to the sheer growth many of the top holdings across top U.S. indices. The SCHK ETF provides exposure to roughly 90% of the earnings of the market at an expense ratio of just three basis points (0.03%), one of the lowest such ratios in the ETF world."

Investors have rotated out of growth stocks into defensive names, increasing single-stock risk during market rebalancing. Exchange-traded funds provide a more balanced way to access high-growth exposure while lowering concentration risk. Schwab offers several ETFs designed for long-term growth exposure. The Schwab 1000 Index ETF (SCHK) tracks the largest thousand U.S. companies and has an inherent growth tilt due to heavy mega-cap technology representation. SCHK provides exposure to roughly 90% of market earnings and charges an expense ratio of 0.03%. SCHK's tax-efficient structure and low costs position it as a potential core equity anchor for long-term portfolios.
