31Since Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ("Schwab") was founded more than 40 years ago, we've been committed to serving the needs of individual investors. One of our most important beliefs is that you should understand how the financial professionals assisting you are paid, so you can evaluate the recommendations you receive.
42
53In these pages, we identify the different categories of investment professionals who may serve you at Schwab and describe how they are compensated. This includes both Schwab employees and independent branch franchisees (and their employees) operating Schwab Independent Branches. Compensation for investment professionals who provide recommendations is designed to support the provision of advice in the client's best interest.

75Certain representatives that drive net new assets to the firm during the year may also be eligible to earn an annual trip through Schwab Chairman's Club.

1301282 DAFgiving360 is the name used for the combined programs and services of Donor Advised Charitable Giving, Inc., an independent nonprofit organization that has entered into service agreements with certain subsidiaries of The Charles Schwab Corporation.

538536#### Payout
539537
540538IBLs are not paid commissions for the sale of any specific product or service, nor does Schwab pay them a salary or the incentive compensation earned by representatives who are employed by Schwab. Instead, they earn revenue from their business, the overall amount of which is based on the revenue Schwab earns from clients whose accounts are assigned to their independent branch, and revenue for insurance and financial plans as described below.
541539
542540For purposes of revenue earned by the IBLs, the assets in accounts assigned to them are divided into two categories. As with employee representatives, the difference in average rates between these two categories is based on the time and expertise necessary to recommend and service different products and programs and the inherent complexity and variety attributable to such products and services. Because IBLs are franchisees rather than employees, and because they are therefore expected and encouraged to have more individual control of the management of their time, only two rates are applied to the assets assigned to them.

548546
549547The rates are calculated by looking at 12-month trailing assets and revenue from all Schwab Independent Branch accounts.
