The three-month return stood at +4.56%, while the six-month performance accelerated to +7.01%. Year-to-date returns reached +12.67%, and the one-year return climbed to +26.78%.

This pattern shows consistent growth across all measured horizons, with the one-year and three-year figures demonstrating stronger momentum compared to the shorter daily and weekly periods.
SCHY carries a volatility label of Low and a beta of 0.76, suggesting the fund tends to move less than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 1.81 indicates that the fund has generated a strong risk-adjusted return relative to its volatility. The maximum drawdown recorded for the fund is -12.16%, reflecting the largest peak-to-trough decline experienced. This combination of low volatility, a beta below 1.0, and a high Sharpe ratio implies a defensive profile that seeks to preserve capital while delivering returns. The moderate maximum drawdown further supports the characterization of the fund as having contained downside risk compared to more volatile alternatives.

SCHY Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 3.21% and average daily volume is 576K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $2.31B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: SCHY is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
