Schwab Asset Management, the asset management arm of The Charles Schwab Corporation, is announcing forward share splits on five Schwab ETFs. Forward ETF share splits increase the number of shares outstanding and decrease the Net Asset Value (NAV) per share. The share splits will not change the total value of a shareholder’s investment.

The ETF share splits will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of markets on March 8, 2022, payable after the close of the markets on March 10, 2022. Shares will begin trading at their post-split price on March 11, 2022.

The following table illustrates the effect of a hypothetical 2-for-1 forward ETF share split:
