How do we help you succeed?

Benefit from a flexible platform

Technology should adapt to you, not the other way around. That’s why our technology is designed with flexibility to fit the way you work.

We’re committed to:

  • Multiple ways to use our applications and platform, depending on your preference
  • The ability to help you adapt technology to your specific needs
  • Interoperability and an avoidance of proprietary solutions
  • Open data sharing
  • Elimination of re-keying of information across multiple systems

Access to third-party platforms

We work with more third-party platforms than any other custodian, supporting multiple interfaces that create an open architecture for our clients. This approach provides you with:

  • Streamlined portfolio updating, because we exchange data with 20 different trading interfaces, including Advent, Bloomberg, Charles River and MacGregor
  • Better portfolio accounting, through our interface with software packages from 33 different providers, including Advent, Sungard and Morningstar
  • Efficient trading, since Schwab Performance Technologies (SPT) interfaces with our Web trading platform as well as 53 different third-party platforms, including Fidelity, TD Ameritrade and Pershing
  • Customized, Web-based back-office outsourcing services including portfolio data management and performance reporting
  • Your choice of reporting platforms with optional features such as advisor branding, portfolio composition charting and cost basis accounting method preferences
  • Multiple reporting platforms that consolidate information from various third parties into one statement

Access to a wide selection of investment products

In addition to securities, you have access to a range of investment strategies, product types and services, fully integrated to provide access to all the accounts you manage through a single online channel.
