About

Schwab Wealth Advisory, Inc. serves clients enrolled in the Schwab Wealth Advisory (SWA) program and certain CS&Co.-referred clients, providing non‑discretionary fiduciary investment advice, financial planning, and point‑in‑time wealth management consultations. Its services include guidance on asset allocation and investment selection — including mutual funds, ETFs, SMAs, and alternative investments — while trades are executed only with client authorization.

The firm’s advice is driven by Charles Schwab & Co.’s standard asset‑allocation models and internal research tools (including Schwab Equity Ratings®), with at‑least‑annual reviews and recommendations tailored to each client’s stated goals and risk tolerance. SWAI does not exercise discretionary trading authority, does not monitor accounts continuously between reviews, and typically recommends separately managed accounts that are managed and traded by third‑party or affiliated money managers.

Noteworthy aspects of SWAI’s structure include that it is compensated by Charles Schwab & Co. rather than billing clients directly, and that it is affiliated with a registered futures merchant (Charles Schwab Futures and Forex LLC), an affiliation that is uncommon among large advisory firms. Its large scale — including over $218 billion enrolled in the SWA Program as disclosed — combined with dual‑registered SWAI Associates, frequent use of affiliated funds and platform arrangements, and formal compliance measures (including annual independent audits and supervisory programs) creates distinct conflict‑of‑interest considerations and operational practices compared with many peers.

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
