Real Options for Investment Advice
How We Work
Everyone's financial needs are unique in their own way. That's why Schwab offers a wide variety of managed investment services, from high-tech to high-touch. Investment minimums vary by service but may start as low as $5,000. Regardless of which service you select, Schwab investment professionals are available to help with your service needs 24/7.

High Tech
Schwab Intelligent Portfolios®
We build, monitor, and automatically rebalance a portfolio of low-cost exchange-traded funds. You can get help from a Schwab professional 24/7.
$5K to start. Pay no advisory fee and no commissions.
Just as if you'd invested on your own, you pay the operating expenses on the ETFs in your portfolio—which includes Schwab ETFs™. We believe cash is a key component of an investment portfolio. Based on your risk profile, a portion of your portfolio is placed in an FDIC-insured deposit at Schwab Bank. Some cash alternatives outside of the program pay a higher yield. See more information.
