AI Developments and Iran Diplomacy Drive Market Sentiment: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesJune 22, 2026 6:04 AM
IH Market News U.S. stock index futures recovered part of their earlier losses on Monday after signs of progress emerged from diplomatic discussions between Iran and the United States, easing concerns about renewed tensions in the Middle East. Investors also remained focused on developments within the artificial intelligence sector after President Donald Trump adopted a less confrontational tone toward Anthropic (NASDAQ:ANTP), following days of uncertainty surrounding export restrictions on advanced AI models. Meanwhile, the semiconductor sector continued to reflect the growing influence of artificial intelligence, with SK Hynix (USOTC:HXSCL) surpassing Samsung Electronics (USOTC:SSNHZ) as South Korea’s most valuable listed company. Futures Recover as Diplomatic Optimism Returns By 07:33 GMT, futures linked to the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average were each down 0.06%, while Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.16%. Earlier in the session, futures had fallen more sharply after President Trump warned that additional military action against Iran remained possible despite ongoing negotiations. The comments initially revived fears of a renewed escalation in the region. However, market sentiment improved after Iranian officials and international mediators struck a more constructive tone following talks held in Switzerland. Investors continue to monitor whether diplomatic efforts can prevent another surge in oil prices and reduce geopolitical uncertainty. A durable agreement could support risk assets while helping to ease concerns about energy-driven inflation. Iran Reports Progress in Negotiations Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi stated that “major progress” had been achieved during discussions with U.S. representatives. In comments published on social media, Aragchi said negotiations had advanced efforts to end the conflict, including discussions surrounding waivers for Iranian oil and petrochemical exports, the removal of a U.S. naval blockade and the launch of reconstruction and development initiatives. Mediators from Pakistan and Qatar also characterised the first round of high-level talks in Switzerland as encouraging and confirmed that further meetings are planned. Although several key issues remain unresolved, the latest statements suggest both sides remain committed to pursuing a diplomatic solution despite recent military tensions. Trump Softens Position on Anthropic Artificial intelligence remained a major focus for investors after Trump indicated that he no longer considers Anthropic a significant national security concern. Speaking to Axios, the president said that although his administration may have taken a different view a week earlier, Anthropic had responded “very quickly” and “responsibly” to concerns raised by officials. Earlier this month, the U.S. Commerce Department imposed export restrictions on Anthropic’s flagship Mythos and Fable AI models, forcing the company to withdraw the software from the market. A leaked government document also suggested that foreign nationals would require individually approved licences to access the models, including certain non-U.S. employees. The dispute highlighted growing tensions between national security objectives and efforts to maintain U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence. While Trump’s latest comments may reduce some immediate concerns, he stopped short of ruling out future intervention. For investors, the episode reinforces the view that regulation is becoming an increasingly important risk factor for AI developers and the broader technology ecosystem. SK Hynix Overtakes Samsung SK Hynix became South Korea’s largest listed company by market value on Monday, overtaking long-time leader Samsung Electronics. Shares in SK Hynix climbed 3.7%, lifting its market capitalisation to approximately 2,082 trillion won. Samsung shares fell 1.4%, leaving its valuation slightly below that level. The development reflects the growing importance of artificial intelligence infrastructure. SK Hynix has benefited from strong demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, which are critical components used in advanced AI systems. The company supplies memory products to Nvidia and recently announced that samples of its next-generation HBM4 chips had been provided to major customers. The shift highlights how value creation within the AI sector is increasingly extending beyond software developers to suppliers of essential hardware and infrastructure. Charles Schwab Prepares Binary Options Launch Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW) is reportedly preparing to introduce a new category of options contracts that would allow investors to place simple directional bets on the performance of the S&P 500. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the brokerage is working with Cboe Global Markets to launch binary options products in the coming months. The contracts would provide a fixed payout if a prediction proves correct and no return if it does not. Supporters argue that the products offer a straightforward way to express market views, while critics contend that their all-or-nothing structure may encourage speculative behaviour. The initiative reflects a broader trend among brokerage firms seeking to expand their product offerings and attract greater participation from retail investors.

Schwab Center for Financial Research Releases 2026 Mid-Year Market OutlookJune 18, 2026 9:30 AM
Business Wire Key Takeaways: U.S. stocks and economic growth will likely continue to be supported by strong business investment, while consumer spending faces persistent headwinds if the war persists and keeps upward pressure on inflation. The bond market outlook suggests that investors remain selective, favoring short- and intermediate-term maturities versus long-duration investments. The global equity market outlook remains positive, driven by ongoing economic expansion and strong earnings growth, but higher inflation, geopolitical turmoil, and market concentration present potential risks. The Schwab Center for Financial Research (SCFR), which provides top-quality research, timely market insights and practical guidance for investors, today announced the release of its 2026 mid-year outlook, Schwab Market Perspective: Mid-Year Outlook, which delivers insights on the most important market and economic trends that investors should consider for the second half of the year. The Schwab Market Perspective: Mid-Year Outlook provides perspectives on U.S. stocks and the U.S. economy, taxable fixed income, and global equities. 2026 Mid-Year Outlook: U.S. Stocks and Economy “Considering the interplay between economic trends and stock market behavior, the second half of 2026 is presenting investors with a bit of a split verdict. The earnings backdrop is the strongest it has been in years and although it is concentrated, it is not a mirage. The economy and labor market have remained resilient. However, the index-level signal from the stock market is obscuring a more complicated picture: concentrated earnings growth, record household equity exposure, consumer sentiment at historical lows for everyone outside the stock market, and a bond market that’s increasingly competitive with equities on a risk-adjusted basis.”   Liz Ann Sonders, Chief Investment Strategist, and Kevin Gordon, Head of Macro Research and Strategy, Schwab Center for Financial Research 2026 Mid-Year Outlook: Taxable Fixed Income “Our broad message for the second half of 2026 is this: Income still matters, but investors should be selective. Despite the recent rise in Treasury yields, we suggest investors favor a below-benchmark average duration with their bond holdings, favoring short- and intermediate-term maturities. In our view, now is not the time to favor long-duration investments just yet.”   Collin Martin, Head of Fixed Income Research and Strategy, Schwab Center for Financial Research 2026 Mid-Year Outlook: Global Equity “In 2026, economic activity has improved. Earnings growth continues to be strong. Capital investment remains robust. Financial conditions are relatively benign. But those strengths are concentrated, and they exist within a shifting structural regime that could produce ongoing geopolitical pressures and increased inflation risks over the longer term.”   Chris Ferrarone, Head of Equity Research and Strategy, and Michelle Gibley, Director of International Equity Research and Strategy, Schwab Center for Financial Research Learn more about the Schwab Market Perspective: Mid-Year Outlook here.

Schwab Asset Management Announces Closure and Liquidation of the Schwab Ariel Opportunities ETF (SAEF)June 12, 2026 6:00 AM

Disclosures: Investors should consider carefully information contained in the prospectus, or if available, the summary prospectus, including investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. You can obtain a prospectus, or if available, a summary prospectus by visiting schwabassetmanagement.com/schwabetfs_prospectus. Please read it carefully before investing. Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Unlike mutual funds, shares of ETFs are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than the net asset value (NAV). The Schwab Ariel Opportunities ETF is different from traditional ETFs. Traditional ETFs tell the public what assets they hold each day. This fund will not. This may create additional risks for your investment. For example: ▪ You may have to pay more money to trade the fund’s shares. This fund will provide less information to traders, who tend to charge more for trades when they have less information. ▪ The price you pay to buy fund shares on an exchange may not match the value of the fund’s portfolio. The same is true when you sell shares. These price differences may be greater for this fund compared to other ETFs because it provides less information to traders. ▪These additional risks may be even greater in bad or uncertain market conditions. ▪ The ETF will publish on its website each day a “Proxy Portfolio” designed to help trading in shares of the ETF. While the Proxy Portfolio includes some of the ETF’s holdings, it is not the ETF’s actual portfolio. The differences between this fund and other ETFs may also have advantages. By keeping certain information about the fund secret, this fund may face less risk that other traders can predict or copy its investment strategy. This may improve the fund’s performance. If other traders are able to copy or predict the fund’s investment strategy, however, this may hurt the fund’s performance. For additional information regarding the unique attributes and risks of the fund, see Proxy Portfolio Risk, Premium/Discount Risk, Trading Halt Risk, Authorized Participant Concentration Risk, Tracking Error Risk and Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV in the Principal Risks and Proxy Portfolio and Proxy Overlap sections of the prospectus and/or the Statement of Additional Information. Active Semi-Transparent (also known as Non-Transparent) ETFs: Active semi-transparent (also known as non-transparent) ETFs operate differently from other exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Unlike other ETFs, an active semi-transparent (also known as non-transparent) ETF does not publicly disclose its entire portfolio composition each business day, which may affect the price at which shares of the ETF trade in the secondary market. Active semi-transparent (also known as non-transparent) ETFs have limited public trading history. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop, be maintained or operate as intended. There is a risk that the market price of an active semi-transparent (also known as a non-transparent) ETF may vary significantly from the ETF’s net asset value and that its shares may trade at a wider bid/ask spread and, therefore, cost investors more to trade than shares of other ETFs. These risks are heightened during periods of market disruption or volatility. Proxy Portfolio Risk: Unlike traditional ETFs, this fund does not disclose its portfolio holdings (Actual Portfolio) daily. The fund instead posts a Proxy Portfolio on its website each day. The Proxy Portfolio is designed to reflect the economic exposures and risk characteristics of the fund’s actual holdings on each trading day, but it is not the same as the fund’s Actual Portfolio. Although the Proxy Portfolio is intended to provide investors with enough information to allow for an effective arbitrage mechanism that will keep the market price of the Fund at or close to the underlying NAV per Share of the Fund, there is a risk (which may increase during periods of market disruption or volatility) that market prices will vary significantly from the underlying NAV of the fund. ETF trading on the basis of a published Proxy Portfolio may trade at a wider bid/ask spread than ETFs that publish their portfolios on a daily basis, especially during periods of market disruption or volatility, and therefore may cost investors more to trade. Also, while the Fund seeks to benefit from keeping its portfolio information secret, market participants may attempt to use the Proxy Portfolio to identify a Fund’s trading strategy, which if successful, could result in such market participants engaging in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the Fund and its shareholders. Proxy Portfolio Construction: The Proxy Portfolio is designed to recreate the daily performance of the Actual Portfolio. This is achieved by performing a “Factor Model” analysis of the Actual Portfolio. The Factor Model is comprised of three sets of factors or analytical metrics: market-based factors, fundamental factors, and industry/sector factors. The fund uses a “Model Universe” to generate its Proxy Portfolio. The Model Universe is comprised of securities that the fund can purchase and will be a financial index or stated portfolio of securities from which fund investments will be selected. The results of the Factor Model analysis are then applied to the Model Universe. The Proxy Portfolio is then generated as a result of this Model Universe analysis with the Proxy Portfolio being a small sub-set of the Model Universe.

Schwab Asset Management Reduces Fees on Four Equity Index ETFsJune 11, 2026 6:00 AM
Business Wire Key Takeaways: Schwab is cutting fees on SCHM, SCHA, SCHC, and SCHE, effective June 11, 2026. A large share of Schwab’s core market-cap weighted ETF lineup is now priced at just 3 bps. The fee cuts make diversified U.S. and global ETF portfolios even more affordable for investors. Schwab Asset Management®, the asset management arm of The Charles Schwab Corporation and the fifth-largest provider1 of ETFs, today announced the reduction of operating expense ratios for four equity index ETFs: the Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF (SCHM), Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF (SCHA), Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF (SCHC), and Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF (SCHE). The fee reductions are effective June 11, 2026. Out of Schwab Asset Management’s 24 market-cap weighted, index equity and fixed income ETFs, 16 are now offered at only 3 basis points (bps). “Schwab is proud to leverage our growth and efficiencies to drive down costs for investors to better help them achieve their investment goals,” said Nicohl Bogan, Director of Product Strategy and Development, Schwab Asset Management. “With today’s fee reductions, building a diversified, index-based portfolio is more cost-effective than ever before with Schwab index ETFs.” Schwab Equity Index ETF Expense Ratio Changes Name of Fund (Ticker) Operating Expense Ratio Prior to June 11 Operating Expense Ratio After June 11 Schwab U.S. Mid-Cap ETF (SCHM) 0.04% 0.03% Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF (SCHA) 0.04% 0.03% Schwab International Small-Cap Equity ETF (SCHC) 0.08% 0.06% Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF (SCHE) 0.07% 0.06% With these fee reductions, an investor can construct a U.S. diversified portfolio that includes large-, mid- and small-cap equities; treasury, corporate and municipal bonds; and diversifying asset categories like REITs, utilizing Schwab market cap-weighted index ETFs, that have expense ratios ranging from 3 bps to 7 bps. In nominal terms, that means an investor with $10,000 would incur annual fund expenses of approximately $3 to $7, depending on the applicable expense ratio2. Extending that portfolio to include international equities such as developed markets, emerging markets and international dividend equities, expense ratios range now from 3 bps to 8 bps. Thinking of that same investor with $10,000, the annual fund expenses would be approximately $3 to $8.3 To learn more about Schwab Asset Management’s entire lineup of ETFs, visit www.schwabassetmanagement.com.

Schwab Trading Activity Index™: STAX Score Rebounds in MayJune 8, 2026 12:30 PM
Business Wire Schwab clients were net buyers as the markets notched new highs, though signs of caution remain Key Takeaways: The Schwab Trading Activity Index™ (STAX) increased to 55.08 in May, up from its score of 50.10 in April. Schwab clients were net buyers in May, though three of the 10 most net-bought names were diversified exchange-traded funds (ETFs), suggesting a degree of caution remained. At the sector level, Information Technology led the net-buy list in May, followed by Consumer Discretionary and industrials. Communication Services, Health Care, and Energy were net-sold.   The Schwab Trading Activity Index™ (STAX) increased to 55.08 in May, up from its score of 50.10 in April. The only index of its kind, the STAX is a proprietary, behavior-based index that analyzes retail investor stock positions and trading activity from Schwab’s millions of client accounts to illuminate what investors were actually doing and how they were positioned in the markets each month. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260608417388/en/ “As major indexes reached new heights in May, Schwab clients were net buyers of equities, although the popularity of diversified ETFs during the period suggests a degree of caution remained,” said Joe Mazzola, Head Trading and Derivatives Strategist at Charles Schwab. “Overall, this STAX score itself climbed during the period but remained below the levels seen in February and March of this year.” First-quarter S&P 500 earnings growth of nearly 27% marked the strongest quarter since late 2021, which helped sustain bullish sentiment for the balance of the year. Importantly, that earnings momentum also meant valuations did not expand dramatically despite the broader market rally. Economic data in May generally pointed to resilience, particularly in jobs and manufacturing. Inflation remained a concern, however, and Federal Reserve policymakers kept a hawkish tone. By the end of the STAX period, the CME FedWatch Tool reflected roughly a 50% chance of a rate hike later this year—a sharp reversal from earlier in the year, when investors had been pricing in two to three rate cuts. One notable May trend was clients’ use of options, rather than equity purchases, to gain exposure to rallying tech stocks while keeping risk somewhat lighter. Put selling accelerated during the month, as investors looked for better stock entry points. (Importantly, short puts risk purchasing the underlying stock at the strike price when the market price of that stock will likely be lower.) Clients also looked overseas for opportunity, particularly in South Korea, where markets rallied on the back of the memory chip boom. At the sector level, information technology led the net-buy list in May, followed by consumer discretionary and industrials. The biggest net-sell sectors were communication services, healthcare, and energy. From a generational perspective, STAX scores rose across every investor generation in May after falling in April. Generation X (1965–1980) remained the most bullish, followed by Baby Boomers (1946–1964). Millennials (1981–1996) trailed closely behind, while Generation Z (1997–2012) once again posted the lowest reading. Popular names bought by Schwab clients during the period included: NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA) Micron Technology Inc. (MU) Intel Corp. (INTC) Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) Names net sold by Schwab clients during the period included: Apple Inc. (AAPL) Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) Tesla Inc. (TSLA) Crowdstrike Holdings Inc. (CRWD) Oracle Corp. (ORCL) About the STAX The STAX value is calculated based on a complex proprietary formula. Each month, Schwab pulls a sample from its client base of millions of funded accounts, which includes accounts that completed a trade in the past month. The holdings and positions of this statistically significant sample are evaluated to calculate individual scores, and the median of those scores represents the monthly STAX. For more information on the Schwab Trading Activity Index, please visit www.schwab.com/investment-research/stax.

“Retail clients turned more cautious in April, leading to a second consecutive month-over-month decline in the STAX score, which fell by the biggest margin we’ve seen in a year,” said Joe Mazzola, Head Trading and Derivatives Strategist at Charles Schwab. “Each April, we tend to see clients selling in advance of Tax Day and reinvesting afterward. This year, though, we also observed a meaningful rotation out of higher-beta individual holdings and into broad-based lower-beta ETFs, which not only led to a drop in the score but appears to indicate a meaningful dip in sentiment.”


Major indexes rebounded through most of the month amid high oil prices and ongoing Middle East tensions, with a ceasefire announcement easing near-term concerns. A powerful chip rally also took hold as the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) rose 47% over the STAX period, including an 18-session winning streak.


The March jobs report showed better-than-expected payroll growth of 178,000. Retail sales and inflation data stayed above the Fed’s 2% goal, but roughly in line with expectations, reducing perceived odds of an interest rate hike and improving expectations for at least one rate cut later this year. Inflation concerns eased modestly as crude stabilized despite persistent worries about slowing growth.


Clients were net sellers in nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors, buying only Consumer Staples and Utilities—both of which are traditionally considered defensive. After Information Technology, the heaviest net selling was in Consumer Discretionary, followed by Financials and Energy. Notably, many Schwab clients shifted toward diversified exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in April; five of the month’s 10 most net-bought names were ETFs.


From a demographic perspective, market exposure fell across all age groups in April. Generation X (1965-1980) maintained the highest exposure to the markets, followed by Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Millennials (1981-1996) and finally Generation Z (1997-2012), which hit lows last seen in September of last year.


Sentiment also appeared to fall sharpest among the STAX sample’s most active traders, whose market exposure hit their lowest levels since December.


Popular names bought by all Schwab clients during the period included:



Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)



Tesla Inc. (TSLA)



Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR)



Micron Technology Inc. (MU)



Netflix Inc. (NFLX)



Names net sold by Schwab clients during the period included:



NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA)



Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN)



Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD)



Intel Corp. (INTC)



Broadcom Inc. (AVGO)



About the STAX


The STAX value is calculated based on a complex proprietary formula. Each month, Schwab pulls a sample from its client base of millions of funded accounts, which includes accounts that completed a trade in the past month. The holdings and positions of this statistically significant sample are evaluated to calculate individual scores, and the median of those scores represents the monthly STAX.

Schwab Marks Second Annual National Investing Day with Industry and Community PartnersMay 1, 2026 4:00 AM
Business Wire
Charles Schwab Foundation commits more than $20 million supporting youth financial education over the next three years


Charles Schwab today kicked off the second annual National Investing Day, bringing together organizations from the financial industry and nonprofit community to participate in the day dedicated to investor education and empowerment.


National Investing Day is grounded in a simple idea: while millions of Americans participate in the markets, many still lack the confidence or resources to see themselves as investors. Expanding access to credible, early education remains a critical step in closing that gap. Now in its second year, National Investing Day is building momentum as a shared moment to highlight the power of investing and encourages people to dedicate at least one day in the year to explore how they can get invested and stay invested to help build a strong financial future.


Today’s observance includes an event at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), where teens from the New York area involved with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and SIFMA Foundation’s Stock Market Game™ will take part in a hands-on learning experience tied to real-world markets. Charles Schwab and students from each organization will ring the closing bell today.


“National Investing Day is about celebrating the power of investing,” said Rick Wurster, president and chief executive officer at Charles Schwab. “When people have access to educational tools and resources that help them learn about investing, they’ll build confidence and are more likely to stay invested over the long term. Young people, in particular, want to invest and need education and guidance. We are proud to engage them in a thoughtful way and provide support to get their education off to a good start.”


New data highlights increasing engagement and the need for financial literacy—particularly among younger investors—reinforcing the importance of early exposure to investing concepts and tools. According to a recent Schwab survey*:



70% of teens are very or extremely interested in investing.



Teens see investing as both a financial and educational opportunity. Top motivations for teens to start investing include:


To get more money (45%)



Paying for college (34%)



Learning how money works (33%)



Learning how investments work (33%)






Among surveyed parents of teens, 73% believe it is very important for teens to learn about investing.



Parents’ reasons for wanting teens to learn about investing include:


Teaching financial responsibility (69%)



Giving them a financial head start (65%)



Ensuring they learn important financial concepts like growing wealth over time (64%)






This year’s effort is supported by partners including the SIFMA Foundation and Boys & Girls Clubs of America, which work year-round to build young people’s financial knowledge and provide real-world investing experience. Through Schwab’s 20-year partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, tweens and teens nationwide receive high-quality financial education through the Money Matters program.


As part of National Investing Day, Schwab is expanding access to hands-on investing education for young people nationwide through a new multi-million-dollar investment from the Charles Schwab Foundation. This effort brings together the SIFMA Foundation’s investing education expertise and Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s reach and dedication to empowering youth by integrating the Stock Market Game into its Money Matters curriculum. Through these and other leading nonprofits, Charles Schwab Foundation has committed more than $20 million to support youth financial education over the next three years.


“For many young people, investing can feel out of reach, something meant for someone else, much later in life,” said Jim Clark, President and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of America. “Hands-on learning experiences open doors to opportunity by building knowledge, growing real-world skills, and helping kids see what’s possible for their future. National Investing Day is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we meet young people where they are and give them the tools to learn, practice, and succeed.”


Inspired by Founder and Co-Chairman, Charles (Chuck) Schwab, National Investing Day coincides with the 50th anniversary of May 1, 1975, the day the Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated fixed commission rates -- a watershed moment in financial services that came to be known as May Day. As many traditional wire house firms chose to raise commission fees, Chuck Schwab lowered them to help bring the power of investing to more people.


“Helping more people get invested and stay invested so they can become better off in their financial lives is at the heart of everything we do,” said Wurster. “Whether you are just starting out with your first financial plan or you’ve been invested for years, National Investing Day is for the investor in us all.”


Editor’s Note: National Investing Day is a great time to learn and start conversations about saving, investing, and long-term goals. Investing looks different for everyone. Start with one small step today—such as learning about investing, reviewing your plan, or increasing a contribution—and build over time. Here are ways to participate:


New investors or investor education:



Engage with Schwab’s free financial education content.



If you are an educator, learn about Invest it Forward, which connects volunteer financial professionals with teachers.



Talk with friends or family members to learn from each other about investing.



Create a financial plan.



Contribute to your 401k plan. Take advantage of your employer’s match if it’s available.



Once you have a plan, consider making an investment or executing your first trade.



Moderately experienced investors:



Schedule a check-in with your financial consultant or advisor.



Commit to learning more about new-to-you strategies.



Consider how Schwab’s seven investing principles can help guide you throughout market cycles.



Seasoned investors:



Pay it forward by introducing kids to the principles of investing with age-appropriate resources.



Remind older parents or family members to regularly check their accounts.



Create or join a forum or investing club in your community.

Early Start, Long-Term Mindset: Teens Increasingly Interested in InvestingApril 28, 2026 6:00 AM
Business Wire
Seventy percent of teens say they are highly interested in investing, according to Schwab research


Investing is now a family matter with teens looking to invest directly and their parents wanting them to start out the right way, according to the 2026 Schwab Teen Investing Survey. According to new data released today, seven in 10 teenagers (70%), ages 13-17, say they are very or extremely interested in investing and nearly three-quarters (73%) of parents say it is very important for teens to learn about investing.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260428924357/en/Parents and teens agree on a lot when it comes to investing, but there are some areas of difference.
The research also shows that teens cite parents more than any other source for trusted investing advice (56%), and about a quarter (27%) want their parents to be heavily involved in their investing experience. That trust extends across a range of financial topics: teens say they trust their parents “a lot” when it comes to saving money (62%), being financially responsible (58%), earning money (58%), and explaining financial concepts (51%).


“Investing has never been more accessible, and we’re seeing people start earlier than ever. But when investors get started is when education matters most—especially now given the volume of information available, the range of products to evaluate, and the increasingly blurred boundary between investing and gambling. Our goal is to help young investors cut through the noise with the education and support they need to build strong habits from the start,” said Jonathan Craig, Head of Retail Investing at Charles Schwab.


Motivations


Teens point to a range of motivations for their interest, from wanting to start building their money as early as possible (45%) to investing toward specific goals like paying for college (34%). Parents are on the same page: they believe investing can help teach financial responsibility (69%), give teens a financial head start (65%), teach important financial concepts (64%), and help avoid financial mistakes in the future (52%).




Reasons teens want to invest








Get started as early as possible with investing and getting more money






45%








Pay for college






34%








Learn more about how money works






33%








Learn how investments work






33%








Buy something big, like a car






30%








Learn how financial markets work






28%







Getting a Head Start


Parents want their kids to get an earlier start with investing than they did. Most parents didn't become aware of investing until they were young adults or older (68%), and half (51%) wish they had started investing earlier. Meanwhile, today’s teens are already ahead of the curve: most say they became aware of investing during their pre-teen (44%) or teenage years (37%). Forty-two percent of teens say they first learned about investing from their parents or legal guardians, compared with 30% of parents who say the same about their own experience.




First became aware of investing

Both groups agree on the importance of financial education in schools. Sixty-five percent of parents and 50% of teens consider it among the top three most important subjects.

A Lot to Learn


Teens are candid about the gaps in their investing knowledge. Only 14% say they know a lot about investing, though 95% describe themselves as at least somewhat interested in learning more. Their top concerns about getting started include losing money because of a bad investment (59%), not knowing what to do when investing (42%), and feeling stress over how their investments might perform (41%).


When it comes to what they do know, teens point to stocks (50%) as the investment type they feel most familiar with. Half (50%) believe investing requires more skill than luck to make money, while 25% aren't sure.




Investments teens feel they know the most about








Stocks






50%








Cryptocurrencies






32%








Mutual funds and ETFs






25%

A Lot to Teach


About half of parents (46%) say they are very comfortable teaching their teens about investing, though most acknowledge that it’s no easy task. Sixty-two percent say teaching their kids how to invest is harder than teaching them how to drive a car. Fortunately, it’s an effort that has multifaceted benefits: just over half of teens (53%) view investing as a way to bond with their parents.


Many parents are encouraged by what they see in their teens. About half (48%) describe their teens as responsible, and many feel their teens are already outpacing where they were at the same age when it comes to saving money (48%), interest in wanting to invest (39%), understanding basic financial concepts (37%), and interest in learning more about investing (35%).




Top outcomes parents want teens to experience from investing








Seeing their investments grow






60%








Understanding financial responsibility






59%








Understanding risk






53%








Learning core principles of investing






49%








Getting an earlier start on saving and investing than they did






45%







Where Parents and Teens Agree, and Where They Don’t


Parents and teens agree on a lot when it comes to teen investing, but there are some areas of difference. Both groups agree that the most likely source of money for teens to invest will come from a job (teens: 53%, parents: 68%). And losing money is the top concern for both (teens: 59%, parents: 36%), though parents are less concerned overall. When it comes to investment approach, most parents (61%) prefer investments that have the potential to grow over time and are less likely to lose money quickly — and their teens agree, with 60% saying the same.


Where they diverge is the question of parental involvement. Fifty percent of parents want to be heavily involved in deciding how much money goes into investments, and 52% want to be informed on their teens’ portfolio performance. Most teens, meanwhile, prefer a lighter touch: 60% say they would want their parents to be only somewhat involved, and 64% would want their parents to have only a little control over their investment decisions.


Schwab Empowers Young Investors


To empower more teens to reap the benefits of starting to invest early, Schwab recently debuted the Schwab Teen Investor™ account, a joint brokerage account for young people ages 13 to 17 and their parent or legal guardian. The Schwab Teen Investor account lets teens invest directly and offers age-appropriate education and guardrails. Both parents and teens can monitor the account, trade, and move money in and out. The account provides hands-on experience with Schwab's mobile app, Schwab.com, and the thinkorswim® trading platform—along with access to 24/7 support from Schwab professionals.

Charles Schwab Announces Details of Spot Crypto Trading LaunchApril 16, 2026 9:33 AM
Business Wire
Retail clients will have access to Schwab Crypto™ alongside the research, education, service and comprehensive investing, trading, wealth, and banking offers they already enjoy at Schwab


Charles Schwab today announced Schwab Crypto™, a spot crypto trading offer that will begin a phased rollout to retail clients in the coming weeks. Schwab Crypto will provide direct access to bitcoin and ethereum trading, combined with educational content and experienced professional support all at a great value.


In a recent Schwab survey* of nearly 500 current and prospective cryptocurrency investors, respondents identified three key factors when choosing a firm for cryptocurrency trading: low, transparent pricing; brand familiarity and reputation; and confidence that assets will be kept secure.


“We know our clients want to conduct more of their financial lives at Schwab,” said Jonathan Craig, Head of Retail Investing at Charles Schwab. “With Schwab Crypto, clients who want direct access to the asset class can trade it alongside their other investments, while benefiting from the service, education, and research they expect from us.”


A holistic crypto investing experience


At launch, Schwab Crypto will include:



Direct trading in bitcoin and ethereum, two of the most well-known and established cryptocurrencies, which together represent approximately three-quarters of the crypto market capitalization.



In-depth digital assets education and resources, including insights and commentary from the Schwab Center for Financial Research and crypto-focused content through Schwab Coaching®, to help investors understand the digital assets market and how digital assets fit into a broader investing strategy.



The ability to view and trade cryptocurrency and traditional investments side-by-side across Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile, and thinkorswim®, Schwab’s award-winning trading platform.



Access to Schwab’s award-winning 24/7 support from thousands of tenured service professionals by phone or chat.



Pricing among the lowest in the industry at 75 basis points on the dollar value of each trade.



Over time, Schwab plans to add additional cryptocurrencies to the platform, as well as transfer capabilities for both deposits and withdrawals, allowing clients with existing digital asset investments to bring them to Schwab alongside their other investments.


“With Schwab Crypto, investors can access familiar cryptocurrencies within an all-in-one investing and banking experience, backed by an ecosystem of education, tools, resources, and support so they can make informed decisions about how crypto might fit into their broader investing goals,” said Joe Vietri, Head of Digital Assets at Charles Schwab.


“Whether you’re new to crypto and looking for a firm you know and trust, or you already own digital assets, our goal is to be the destination of choice for retail investors who want to incorporate digital assets into their portfolios with confidence,” he added.


How Schwab Crypto works


Schwab clients will maintain a separate crypto account through Schwab Crypto, offered by Charles Schwab Premier Bank, SSB, (“CSPB”), linked directly to their brokerage accounts. CSPB will serve as the custodian of clients’ digital assets, responsible for safekeeping and record-keeping.


Paxos, a leading OCC-regulated blockchain infrastructure provider, will deliver sub-custody and trade execution services. Utilizing a federally overseen trust model and proven enterprise-grade technology, Paxos enables the world’s most sophisticated financial institutions to bring digital asset solutions to their customers.


"Paxos is a strong partner for blockchain infrastructure. Their regulatory standing and digital asset expertise will help us deliver the seamless, integrated experience our clients expect from Schwab," said Vietri.


Schwab is already a leader in digital assets, with clients holding approximately 20% of spot crypto exchange-traded products. The introduction of spot crypto trading builds on the many ways Schwab clients can already access digital asset investments including spot cryptocurrency Exchange-traded products (ETPs), crypto futures, options on spot crypto ETPs, crypto-related ETFs and mutual funds that invest in the broader digital asset ecosystem.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, average balances of client margin loans and short credits related to certain client long/short strategies from which the Company earns a fixed net yield are excluded from interest-earning assets and funding sources. Prior period amounts and average yields have been reclassified and recalculated to reflect this change. Average margin loans related to these client strategies totaled $14.1 billion and $235 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Average short credits related to these client strategies totaled $14.4 billion and $237 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Interest revenue and expense related to these client strategies are presented in other interest revenue and other interest expense, respectively.








(2)







Amounts have been calculated based on amortized cost.

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(In millions, except ratios and per share amounts)

(Unaudited)


In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), Schwab’s first quarter earnings release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information about the financial performance of the Company, and facilitate meaningful comparison of Schwab’s results in the current period to both historic and future results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.


Schwab’s use of non-GAAP measures is reflective of certain adjustments made to GAAP financial measures as described below.




Non-GAAP Adjustment or Measure






Definition






Usefulness to Investors and Uses by Management








Acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs






Schwab adjusts certain GAAP financial measures to exclude the impact of acquisition and integration-related costs incurred as a result of the Company’s acquisitions, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring costs, and, where applicable, the income tax effect of these expenses.




 




Adjustments made to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets are reflective of all acquired intangible assets, which were recorded as part of purchase accounting. These acquired intangible assets contribute to the Company’s revenue generation. Amortization of acquired intangible assets will continue in future periods over their remaining useful lives.






We exclude acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs for the purpose of calculating certain non-GAAP measures because we believe doing so provides additional transparency of Schwab’s ongoing operations, and is useful in both evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating comparison of results with prior and future periods.




 




Costs related to acquisition and integration or restructuring fluctuate based on the timing of acquisitions, integration and restructuring activities, thereby limiting comparability of results among periods, and are not representative of the costs of running the Company’s ongoing business. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded because management does not believe it is indicative of the Company’s underlying operating performance.








Return on tangible common equity






Return on tangible common equity represents annualized adjusted net income available to common stockholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity represents common equity less goodwill, acquired intangible assets — net, and related deferred tax liabilities.






Acquisitions typically result in the recognition of significant amounts of goodwill and acquired intangible assets. We believe return on tangible common equity may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure to facilitate assessing capital efficiency and returns relative to the composition of Schwab’s balance sheet.








Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio






Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio represents the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio as prescribed by bank regulatory guidance for the consolidated company and for Charles Schwab Bank, SSB (CSB), adjusted to reflect the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in the ratio.






Inclusion of the impacts of AOCI in the Company’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio provides additional information regarding the Company’s current capital position. We believe Adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio may be useful to investors as a supplemental measure of the Company’s capital levels.







The Company also uses adjusted diluted EPS and return on tangible common equity as components of performance criteria for employee bonus and certain executive management incentive compensation arrangements. The Compensation Committee of CSC’s Board of Directors maintains discretion in evaluating performance against these criteria. Additionally, the Company uses adjusted Tier 1 Leverage Ratio in managing capital, including its use of the measure as its long-term operating objective.
