Schwab Investing Tip

Charles Schwab Corporation's Founder and Chairman, Mr. Charles Schwab, is an avid golfer himself. Over the years, he has found both golf and investing are tough games and that there's no short term fixes. His firm strives to guide investors along their investment journey, formulate plans, and provide resources to help investors be successful. While investing may bring its up and downs, it's a pursuit where you can keep improving if you do your research, and plan well. When Schwab first opened its doors in 1971, the company knew that the key to success would be getting the fundamentals right. By focusing on the fundamentals, the firm managed to take an early market lead, offering a combination of low prices with fast, efficient order executions, and soon became the United States' largest discount broker. Today, the company is one of the U.S.'s leading financial services firms with around US$1.83 trillion in client assets.

Schwab believes that sometimes getting the fundamentals right means getting the perspective of a professional to help you get started and to maximize your objective. At Schwab, the team goes to work every day focused on their purpose "to help everyone be financially fit". It might seen simple, but this has a powerful impact on how the company builds trust with its clients and takes care of their needs. Schwab employees are driven to understand what investors are looking for and ensuring they provide advice that is based on strong investing fundamentals.
