Fund Details
Fund Strategy
The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund invests mainly in U.S. stocks, with an emphasis on companies that are considered to have prospects for rapid earnings growth. It does not focus on companies of any particular size, however; the advisor may emphasize mid-cap stocks. The fund's investment advisor uses fundamental research to identify stocks that are expected to outperform the market over a three- to five-year time horizon and that are available at attractive prices relative to their fundamental values.

| Fund Company | Vanguard | ESG FundESG FundEnvironmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is the industry term Schwab has chosen to use as an umbrella term to describe various investing approaches that consider not only traditional measures of risk and return, but environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) factors as well. Schwab uses ESG to broadly encompass ESG investing , but also investing approaches described as "values-based investing," "impact investing," "sustainable investing," and other approaches. An ESG product may apply ESG factors to its investment or governance processes in many different ways. A product that employs ESG strategies may choose to focus on one or more ESG factors, though an ESG product may also include securities that don't fit any ESG category. The information displayed utilizes the Morningstar "Sustainable Investment - Overall" datapoint. Click here to learn more about ESG at Schwab. 0824-U08J | No |
Leveraged FundLeveraged FundLeveraged Mutual Funds typically use derivatives to attempt to multiply the returns of the underlying index each day or month. These funds invest their portfolios much differently than other mutual funds. They have the propensity to be more volatile and are inherently riskier than their non-leveraged counterparts. It is important to remember that these funds are generally designed for short-term use only, and are generally not intended to be buy-and-hold positions, because their returns over longer periods generally do not match the mutual fund’s multiple of the underlying index over those periods. These funds are not appropriate for most investors. 0824-U08J | No | Index Fund | No |
Inverse FundInverse FundInverse mutual funds typically use derivatives to attempt to move in the opposite direction of the underlying index by a certain multiple each day or month. They generally have either a negative number like –1x or –2x or a term like “short” or “inverse” in their names. These funds invest their portfolios much differently than other mutual funds. They have the propensity to be more volatile and are inherently riskier than their non-inverse counterparts. It is important to remember that these funds are designed for short-term use only, and are not intended to be buy-and-hold positions, because their returns over longer periods generally do not match the mutual fund’s negative multiple of the underlying index over longer periods. These funds are not appropriate for most investors. 0824-U08J | No | ||
Interval FundRisks of Interval FundsInterval funds are not available for purchase by individual investors. Interval funds are closed-end funds that offer daily purchases and redeem shares by periodically offering to repurchase a certain portion of shares from shareholders ("tenders" or "redemptions"). Rules and regulations related to interval funds enable fund companies to create portfolios with less capital volatility while holding a greater percentage of less-liquid, longer-term investments, often with higher risk-return opportunities than may be readily achieved in open-end mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Although interval fund purchases resemble open-end mutual funds in that their shares are typically continuously offered and priced daily, they differ from traditional closed-end funds in that their shares are not sold on a secondary market. Instead, periodic repurchase offers are made to shareholders by the fund. The fund will specify a date by which shareholders must accept the repurchase offer. The actual repurchase will occur at a later, specified date. If repurchase requests exceed the number of shares that a fund offers to repurchase during the repurchase period, repurchases are prorated (reduced by the same percentage across all trades) prior to processing. In such event, shareholders may not be able to sell their expected amount, and would potentially experience increased illiquidity and market exposure, which could increase the potential for investment loss.

Morningstar Category: Large Blend Large-blend portfolios are fairly representative of the overall U.S. stock market in size, growth rates, and price. Stocks in the top 70% of the capitalization of the U.S. equity market are defined as large cap. The blend style is assigned to portfolios where neither growth nor value characteristics predominate. These portfolios tend to invest across the spectrum of U.S. industries, and owing to their broad exposure, the portfolios returns are often similar to those of the S&P 500 Index. | |||

- Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance. For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of 1 fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages). The top 10% of the funds in an investment category receive 5 stars, 22.5% receive 4 stars, 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star.
