Managed by Charles Schwab Investment Management, the fund typically invests about 60% of its assets in stocks and 36% in bonds, with a small allocation to cash equivalents. Its equity holdings span large-cap U.S. stocks, international equities, small-cap companies, and real estate investment trusts, while the bond component is primarily U.S. investment-grade securities. Notable features include a low expense ratio, passively managed strategy combining market-cap and fundamentally weighted index funds, and broad global diversification.
