Schwab Fundamental International Small Co. Index ETF
The Schwab Fundamental International Small Co. Index ETF (Ticker: FNDC) is a compelling investment vehicle designed for those seeking exposure to international small-cap equities. As a Size and Style-focused ETF, FNDC provides a unique opportunity to delve into the realm of small-cap stocks, a segment known for its potential to deliver robust growth. This ETF stands out in the broad-based niche by capitalizing on a proprietary fundamental indexing approach, which selects and weights companies based on fundamental measures of their size, such as adjusted sales, retained operating cash flow, and dividends plus buybacks, rather than relying on market capitalization.
FNDC's strategy is particularly appealing for investors looking to diversify their portfolios beyond domestic borders, tapping into the growth potential of smaller companies internationally. By focusing on small-cap stocks, FNDC harnesses the growth dynamics and innovation often found in emerging and developing market companies, offering a diversified exposure that can complement larger, more established holdings. This ETF is ideal for those with a moderate to high-risk tolerance, seeking to capture the potential upside of small-cap investments while benefiting from Schwab's expertise in fundamental indexing.
