SCHR: For Investors Tired Of Cash And Scared Of Duration

The Schwab Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (SCHR) offers exposure to intermediate-term Treasuries with a low 0.03% expense ratio and $12.34 billion AUM. SCHR's historical performance reflects shifts in Fed policy, with sharp gains during rate cuts and declines during aggressive rate hikes, notably in 2022. Recently, SCHR benefited from a shift in risk from inflation to labor market concerns, outpacing short and long-term maturity peers.

Inflationary pressures from Trump's policies, including tariffs and policy around illegal immigrants, could hinder disinflation and affect rate-cut expectations.
