“Each new year is an opportunity to reset, and for many investors it begins with setting an intention to deepen their investing knowledge in the year ahead,” said Lorraine Gavican-Kerr, Managing Director of Trader Education, Charles Schwab. “Our education offering at Schwab, which spans a variety of modalities and covers an expansive range of topics, is a great place to do just that. And on the heels of the record-breaking engagement we saw over the past year, we’ve introduced even more ways for investors to build their confidence and competence as they work towards their goals in 2026.”

Continued Commitment to Comprehensive Education

Investor education is core to Schwab, empowering clients to understand the products, platforms and investing strategies that are designed to help them approach their financial goals and manage risk as they grow their portfolio. Following a year marked by volatility, uncertainty, and soaring markets, investor education from a trusted brand has never been more important. Schwab offers investors an ever-expanding education library with thousands of articles and videos, expert daily market commentary, daily and monthly email newsletters, the quarterly print magazine “Onward,” and podcasts. Schwab Coaching offers clients 35 hours of live interactive sessions every week covering a breadth of topics and catering to a diverse array of investors of all experience levels. Schwab clients also have access to learning paths and courses. To build on their learnings, clients and prospects can apply that knowledge by practicing their preferred strategies on the paperMoney® simulated trading platform via their account or Guest Pass.

Interest in Schwab’s live education events surged in 2025, and to meet this rapidly expanding engagement Schwab is adding more conference-style events in more cities, covering more topics than ever before. Nearly 1,000 clients attended Schwab’s Dallas Market Drive event in January of 2025, and the firm saw similar attendance in cities across the U.S. over the course of the year. In response, Schwab is expanding event capacity and locations in 2026, providing more opportunities for clients to learn and network with each other. Schwab offers both one- and two-day events centered on learning and community, with virtual options available for those who cannot join in person.

New Programming and Talent on the Schwab Network

The Schwab Network engages investors with market news and important trends, reaching viewers across demographics and experience levels, in their platforms of choice.
