AI Summary
The comparison pits Schwab's SCHA, a broad Dow Jones small-cap tracker with roughly 1,700 holdings, against iShares' IJR, which follows the S&P SmallCap 600 and applies a profitability screen that excludes unprofitable companies. The screen matters for returns: IJR's quality tilt has historically outperformed broader small-cap baskets in tightening or slowing-growth regimes, while SCHA offers wider exposure at a similarly low expense ratio near 0.04-0.06%. Small-cap relative performance versus the S&P 500 hinges on the Fed's rate path, since lower UST yields ease refinancing pressure on the floating-rate-heavy small-cap cohort.
As a Research signal, watch whether it changes price action, volatility, or flows around SCHA, IJR, GSPC.
