Schwab Asset Management®, the asset management arm of The Charles Schwab Corporation, announced the Schwab Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF (NYSE Arca: SMBS) began trading today.

With an expense ratio of 0.03%, the Schwab Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF is priced in line with the lowest-priced peer ETFs based on the U.S. Mortgage Lipper category1. The ETF provides access to investment-grade mortgage-backed securities issued and/or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies.

The goal of the Schwab Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the Bloomberg US MBS Float Adjusted Total Return Index. The ETF invests in mortgage-backed pass-through securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) that are backed by pools of mortgages.

The launch of the Schwab Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF occurs when Schwab Asset Management is celebrating 15 years since entering the ETF space. Since that time, Schwab Asset Management has become the fifth-largest provider of ETFs2 and is known for its commitment to low costs and taking a thoughtful approach to growing its lineup.

Disclosures:

Investors should consider carefully information contained in the prospectus, or if available, the summary prospectus, including investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. You can obtain a prospectus, or if available, a summary prospectus by visiting https://www.schwabassetmanagement.com/prospectus. Please read it carefully before investing.

Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Unlike mutual funds, shares of ETFs are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Shares of ETF are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than the net asset value (NAV).

Diversification and asset allocation strategies do not ensure a profit and do not protect against losses in declining markets.

Fixed income securities are subject to increased loss of principal during periods of rising interest rates. Fixed-income investments are subject to various other risks including changes in credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, corporate events, tax ramifications and other factors.

Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) may be more sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed income investments. They are subject to extension risk, where borrowers extend the duration of their mortgages as interest rates rise, and prepayment risk, where borrowers pay off their mortgages earlier as interest rates fall. These risks may reduce returns.

Certain U.S. government securities that the fund invests in are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, which means they are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to securities of its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so under law. Also, any government guarantees on securities the fund owns do not extend to the shares of the fund itself.

Schwab Funds are distributed by Charles Schwab & Co, Inc. (Schwab), Member SIPC. Schwab ETFs are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Co. (SIDCO).
