About

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. serves a very large client base—primarily high‑ and ultra‑high‑net‑worth individuals and related accounts—through its Schwab Wealth Advisory wrap fee program and affiliated managed‑account and financial planning services. As a dual‑registered broker‑dealer and investment adviser, Schwab acts as program sponsor and custodian and provides bundled (wrap) advisory, brokerage, custody, and cash‑sweep services.

Schwab’s client relationship model for the SWA Program is primarily non‑discretionary: Schwab Wealth Advisory, Inc. (SWAI) provides periodic buy/sell and allocation recommendations while clients retain final decision‑making, and Schwab also offers access to discretionary SMAs (Schwab Wealth Portfolios) managed by an affiliate, Charles Schwab Investment Management (CSIM). Investment guidance is delivered using multi‑asset model portfolios with strategic asset allocation (and optional tactical tilts), written advice policies and periodic reviews, and Schwab Center for Financial Research due diligence on alternative investments available through its Alternative Investments Select program.

What is noteworthy about Schwab compared with many peers is its scale and integrated structure: it serves hundreds of thousands of clients through thousands of representatives and multiple wrap programs, which results in relatively high client coverage per advisor and centralized supervisory, custody, and order‑routing arrangements. Schwab also has a distinctive operational footprint for a wealth program — it combines non‑discretionary advisory relationships with access to affiliated discretionary SMAs, a formal alternative‑investment onboarding and placement process, and cash‑sweep mechanisms that vary by client residence.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
