FNDA Is A Good Alternative To Large-Cap ETFs Like VUG

The Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company ETF offers diversified small-cap exposure with fundamental weighting, contrasting VUG's concentrated large-cap technology focus. VUG's top 10 holdings comprise 60.9% of assets, with 63.3% of the ETF in technology, exposing it to significant sector-specific downside risk. FNDA's valuation appears relatively attractive versus the Russell 2000 and S&P 500, though not cheap in absolute terms; it lags VUG's recent performance.
