  • SCHB vs. SPTM: Comparing Key Total Stock Market ETFs for Investors
    January 25, 2026, 12:08 PM EST. The Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF (SCHB) and State Street's SPDR Portfolio S&P 1500 ETF (SPTM) both offer broad U.S. stock market exposure at minimal fees of 0.03%. Despite nearly identical expense ratios, dividend yields, and similar sector allocations focused on technology, financials, and consumer cyclical, SCHB's larger asset base ($38 billion vs. $12 billion) and wider stock coverage (2,401 vs. 1,510) may appeal to investors prioritizing liquidity and diversification. Both funds track different indexes but have comparable one-year returns near 13%, and similar risk profiles measured by beta and max drawdowns over five years. SCHB's higher number of holdings does not significantly reduce volatility versus SPTM. Investors may decide based on these structural differences and the scale of their portfolios when choosing a core market ETF.
