SCHC: Disappointing Returns, But Not Time To Sell

SCHC offers broad, low-cost exposure to international small-caps, an area currently trading at attractive valuations that could benefit from global supply chain diversification and a weaker U.S. dollar. However, the fund's passive, index-hugging approach has drawbacks, including the risk of holding unprofitable companies and over-diversification that may impair returns. Despite lackluster returns, we maintain a Hold rating on SCHC, recognizing the attractive valuations and potential long-term tailwinds for international small-caps.
