SCHO is passively managed to invest in US Treasury securities that have remaining maturity of greater than or equal to one year and less than three years. In addition, securities in the index must be USD-denominated, and fixed-rate and non-convertible. The fund excludes state and local government bonds and coupon issues that have been stripped from bonds. Fund characteristics match our benchmark almost exactly (The ETFs underlying index and our benchmark happen to be identical). Securities in the index are weighted by market value and are updated each month. Overall, SCHOs coverage of short-term Treasurys makes it viable for both retail and institutional trading alike.
