Historical volatility is the annualized standard deviation of an underlying's past returns, typically measured over rolling windows like 10, 20, 30, or 60 days. The SCHO 30 day historical volatility is one of the most widely watched readings because it balances responsiveness with stability. Comparing Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF's HV to its implied volatility reveals the volatility risk premium — when IV sits well above HV, option sellers tend to have an edge; when HV runs hot relative to IV, buyers may be underpaying for movement.
The fund’s goal is to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of an index that measures the performance of the short-term U.S. Treasury bond market.
Sizing a long premium trade, modeling a covered call, or hunting volatility arbitrage all come back to one question: how much has the stock actually moved? Our scanner puts Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF's historical volatility side-by-side with implied readings across every lookback window, so you can see exactly where SCHO HV is running hot, cold, or in line.
