Schwab Private Client to be renamed Schwab
Wealth Advisory
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., today announced plans to change
the name of its premier advisory solution, which made its debut two
decades ago. Next month, Schwab Private Client (SPC) will be
renamed Schwab Wealth Advisory (SWA) to better reflect the depth of
wealth advisory experience, dedicated service, and ongoing
enhancements to investing solutions delivered to its more than
70,000 households representing approximately $146 billion in assets
as of December 31, 2021.
Schwab Private Client was launched in the spring of 2002 to meet
the needs of clients looking for holistic investment management.
From its inception, the focus has been to provide investors with
deep experience in investment management, dedicated service, and
value. Over the past 20 years, Schwab has continued to enhance the
breadth and depth of the offer to provide a comprehensive wealth
management solution with a personalized approach delivered by an
experienced team - all backed by a Satisfaction Guarantee¹ unique
among competitive wealth advisory offers.
The average household in the newly named Schwab Wealth Advisory
has over $2 million enrolled in the solution. “The success of this
program is evidenced by the tremendous growth we’ve seen over
time,” said Rick Wurster, President of The Charles Schwab
Corporation. “We’re incredibly proud that these clients have
entrusted us with their financial lives and are relying on us to
put the wealth they’ve attained to work for their futures and their
families.”
Unique in its support of clients who want to stay involved and
in control of their portfolios, with support from a one-on-one
relationship with an experienced wealth advisor, SWA offers:
- A comprehensive wealth management strategy that encompasses key
aspects and stages of a client’s financial life, from investment
management to financial planning, retirement, education planning,
and more.
- A personalized wealth management approach based on a client’s
preferences, needs, and goals, led by a dedicated wealth advisor
who coordinates with the client’s local branch financial consultant
along with access to specialists in income generation, options,
insurance*, equity compensation*, and estate planning*.
- Invitations to exclusive events featuring nationally known,
distinguished speakers from a wide variety of industries.
Wurster continued, “As we enter our third decade of supporting
clients’ wealth management needs, clients can expect to continue to
benefit from our strengths across a range of advisory and investing
capabilities including asset management, financial planning,
digital innovation, and more – all tailored to their unique
needs.”
There is no change to client service, relationships, or cost
associated with the name change from Schwab Private Client to
Schwab Wealth Advisory. The annual fee for the program currently
starts at 0.80% of billable assets, and the fee rate decreases at
higher asset levels.
Schwab Advisor Network, the industry-leading referral network
serving investors throughout the nation with referrals to
independent Registered Investment Advisors, will continue to
complement Schwab’s suite of advisory services. Also making its
debut in 2002, Schwab Advisor Network today features 170 RIAs in
the program who provide highly customized investment management,
financial planning, insurance, tax strategies, and estate planning,
depending on an investor’s specific needs.
In addition to the high touch service delivered by Schwab Wealth
Advisory and Schwab Advisor Network, Schwab also offers managed
investing solutions for investors who prefer a more automated or
hybrid approach, in addition to a range of more specialized
solutions. Schwab’s additional managed investing solutions
include:
