Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) has reported a significant increase in client assets for July 2025, with total assets reaching an impressive $10.96 trillion. This growth, as reported by Yahoo Finance, reflects the company's strong asset gathering capabilities and overall positive market performance.
The financial services giant saw a notable uptick in assets receiving ongoing advisory services, which grew to $4.16 trillion. This figure represents an increase both from the previous month and on a year-over-year basis. Additionally, core net new assets saw a substantial boost of $42.5 billion.
Schwab's recent performance can be attributed to several factors, including heightened market activity, sustained client engagement, and favorable equity market conditions. The company's strategic move to lower fees on certain investing solutions has also played a role in driving revenue growth, alongside the increase in average client assets.
Over the past five years, Schwab has maintained a compound annual growth rate of 12% for total client assets. This upward trend has continued into the first half of 2025, propelled by strategic acquisitions and overall market gains. The company's focus on expanding its client base in advisory solutions has proven fruitful, with managed investing solutions revenues showing significant growth during this period.
