Schwab Mutual Funds: Investment Portfolio Solutions and Retirement Income Generation

Investment Portfolio Solutions

Schwab offers a comprehensive range of investment portfolio solutions designed to cater to various investment goals. Whether you are investing at any stage, planning for retirement savings, or looking for retirement income, Schwab has tailored solutions to meet your needs. By combining the power of index investing and asset allocation, Schwab MarketTrack Portfolios provide investors with an all-in-one mix of diverse investments. These portfolios offer different asset allocations with varying risk levels, allowing you to choose the one that aligns with your risk tolerance and objectives. Features like automatic rebalancing and no investment minimum make these portfolios convenient for investors looking for a hands-off approach to investing.

Retirement Savings Solution

For those specifically focused on retirement savings, Schwab Target Date Funds provide a diversified retirement portfolio. These funds are designed to automatically reallocate investments along a glide path from aggressive to conservative as the target date approaches, reducing risk and preparing investors for retirement. Schwab offers two types of Target Date Funds: Schwab Target Index Funds composed primarily of passive index Schwab ETFs and Schwab Target Funds comprising passive and active investments. The annual rebalancing feature ensures that investors' portfolios remain aligned with their changing financial needs over time.

Retirement Income Generation

To generate income in retirement, Schwab Monthly Income Funds provide three fund options tailored to meet investors' income needs. These funds offer monthly income in retirement through a well-diversified mix of underlying stock and bond mutual funds and ETFs. Investors can choose between Income Payout, Flexible Payout, or Target Payout options based on their desired income requirements. With managed payout policies, these funds aim to provide targeted annual payouts during various market environments, ensuring a steady income stream for investors.

How It Works

For Schwab MarketTrack Portfolios, the combination of Fundamental Index® and market-cap index strategies allows investors to select a portfolio that matches their risk tolerance and goals. Similarly, Schwab Target Date Funds automate the reallocation process along a glide path to adapt to changing financial needs. On the other hand, Schwab Monthly Income Funds rely on managed payout policies and asset allocations to provide consistent monthly income for investors in retirement.

Navigating The Transfer of Custodial Accounts with Thinkorswim

Understanding Custodial Account Transfers

Custodial accounts are set up under specific laws such as the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA). These accounts are managed by a custodian until the beneficiary reaches a certain age, typically 18 or 21 depending on the state. Once the beneficiary reaches this age, they become eligible to assume control of the account. It is important to note that any transfer forms submitted before the beneficiary reaches the eligible age cannot be accepted.
