CEO Walt Bettinger said, “With the right full-service model for serving today’s investors, we are driving sustained momentum in our business. As investor engagement continues to gain strength, we offer the transparency, open architecture, technology and accessibility – including personal relationships – that support our clients’ confidence and trust in Schwab as a partner that can help them build their financial futures. We gathered $11.5 billion in net new assets in June and $22.7 billion during the second quarter, the highest June in our history and the highest second quarter in 6 years. Clients opened 242,000 new brokerage accounts during the quarter, and we ended the quarter serving 9.3 million active brokerage accounts and 950,000 banking accounts, up 3% and 4%, respectively, from year-earlier levels. Total client assets reached a record $2.40 trillion as of June 30, an increase of $351 billion, or 17%, from June 2013.”

“Wealth management capabilities are an important element of our contemporary full-service investing model,” Mr. Bettinger continued. “Many of our clients are at a stage where they have accumulated significant asset levels, they are increasingly looking for professional help, and they expect Schwab to be just as proficient in serving their current needs as we are in serving clients at other points in their investing lives. With a model that encompasses both nationally-branded wealth management services offered through our retail financial consultants and access to highly customized and local expertise offered by independent advisors, the value of these capabilities to new and existing clients is clear. Over 70% of retail client assets at Schwab are being served by a dedicated branch professional, we have held more than 110,000 planning conversations with clients over the past year, and approximately 50% of total client assets at Schwab are receiving some form of ongoing advisory service – $1.01 trillion under the guidance of independent advisors and approximately $175 billion in retail and other advisory solutions, up 20% and 28%, respectively, over year-earlier levels.”

CFO Joe Martinetto commented, “Our financial performance thus far in 2014 is right in line with management expectations. Given an environment that is no longer masking our progress, it’s clear our financial model is working. Our success with clients and diversified income sources produced revenue growth of 11% for the second quarter. Record levels of asset management and administration fees and net interest revenue, which grew by 10% and 19%, respectively, more than offset a decline in trading revenues as client activity slowed. Our expense discipline continued during the second quarter – we limited expense growth to 3%, which helped expand our operating leverage even as we continued to invest in new products and services for our clients. Overall, we achieved a pre-tax profit margin of 35.3% and a 27% year-over-year increase in net income for the second quarter while improving the company’s return on equity to 12%. Our pre-tax margin for the first half of 2014 was also 35.3%, an improvement of 700 basis points over the year-ago period and our best performance since 2008; our first half net income of $650 million is the best start to any year in our history. At the same time, we have continued to build a strong balance sheet capable of supporting our ongoing growth, with stockholders’ equity now exceeding $11 billion and a preliminary consolidated Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 6.8%.”
