The Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF (SCHB) currently holds about 2,380 U.S. stocks but has a high concentration risk, with 33.7% of its assets in the top 10 holdings and 36% in the technology sector. This concentration is increasingly hard to justify as the earnings growth gap between mega-cap stocks and mid-cap stocks is expected to narrow through 2027. Mid-cap stocks offer a better risk/reward profile, trading at a lower forward earnings multiple (14.7x) compared to large caps (18.1x), while providing similar growth potential and less concentration risk. Investors may want to consider mid-cap exposure as a more balanced alternative to SCHB's heavy large-cap and tech focus.
