1. | Introduction and Basis of Presentation |
The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC) is a savings and loan holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries, in securities brokerage, banking, money management, and financial advisory services. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab) is a securities broker-dealer with over 300 domestic branch offices in 45 states, as well as a branch in each of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and London, U.K. In addition, Schwab serves clients in Hong Kong through one of CSCs subsidiaries. Other subsidiaries include Charles Schwab Bank (Schwab Bank), a federal savings bank, and Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (CSIM), the investment advisor for Schwabs proprietary mutual funds, which are referred to as the Schwab Funds®, and for Schwabs exchange-traded funds, which are referred to as the Schwab ETFs.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include CSC and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the accompanying financial statements. Certain estimates relate to other-than-temporary impairment of securities available for sale and securities held to maturity, valuation of goodwill, allowance for loan losses, and legal and regulatory reserves. Actual results may differ from those estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. The Companys results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

(1) | The number of investment positions with unrealized losses totaled 139 for securities available for sale and 24 for securities held to maturity. |
Unrealized losses in securities available for sale of $52 million as of March 31, 2013, were concentrated in non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. Included in non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities are securities collateralized by loans that are considered to be Prime (defined as loans to borrowers with a Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit score of 620 or higher at origination), and Alt-A (defined as Prime loans with reduced documentation at origination). At March 31, 2013, the amortized cost and fair value of Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securities were $295 million and $269 million, respectively.
Certain Alt-A and Prime residential mortgage-backed securities experienced continued credit deterioration in the first quarter of 2013. Based on the Companys cash flow projections, management determined that it does not expect to recover all of the amortized cost of these securities and therefore determined that these securities were other-than-temporarily impaired (OTTI). The Company employs a buy and hold strategy relative to its mortgage-related securities, and does not intend to sell these securities and will not be required to sell these securities before anticipated recovery of the unrealized losses on these securities. Further, the Company has adequate liquidity at March 31, 2013, with cash and cash equivalents totaling $6.9 billion, a loan-to-deposit ratio of 14%, adequate access to short-term borrowing facilities and regulatory capital ratios in excess of well capitalized levels. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities, the Company recognized an impairment charge equal to the securities expected credit losses of $4 million during the first quarter of 2013. The expected credit losses were measured as the difference between the present value of expected cash flows and the amortized cost of the securities. Further deterioration in the performance of the underlying loans in the Companys non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio could result in the recognition of additional impairment losses.
The following table is a rollforward of the amount of credit losses recognized in earnings for OTTI securities held by the Company during the period for which a portion of the impairment was recognized in other comprehensive income:

Included in the loan portfolio are nonaccrual loans totaling $42 million and $48 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. There were no loans accruing interest that were contractually 90 days or more past due at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. Nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, totaled $46 million and $54 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
In 2012, Schwab Bank launched a co-branded loan origination program for Schwab Bank clients (the Program) with Quicken Loans, Inc. (Quicken® Loans®). Pursuant to the Program, Quicken Loans originates and services first lien residential real estate mortgage loans (First Mortgages) and HELOCs for Schwab Bank clients. Under the Program, Schwab Bank purchases certain First Mortgages and HELOCs that are originated by Quicken Loans. Schwab Bank sets the underwriting guidelines and pricing for all loans it intends to purchase for its portfolio. Schwab Bank purchased First Mortgages of $1.3 billion and $71 million during the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The First Mortgages purchased under the Program are included in the First mortgages loan class in the tables below.

In addition to monitoring delinquency, the Company monitors the credit quality of residential real estate mortgages and HELOCs by stratifying the portfolios by the year of origination, borrower FICO scores at origination (Origination FICO), updated borrower FICO scores (Updated FICO), LTV ratios at origination (Origination LTV), and estimated current LTV ratios (Estimated Current LTV), as presented in the following tables. Borrowers FICO scores are provided by an independent third party credit reporting service and were last updated in March 2013. The Origination LTV and Estimated Current LTV ratios for a HELOC include any first lien mortgage outstanding on the same property at the time of the

THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Data, Ratios, or as Noted)
(Unaudited)
The Company monitors the credit quality of personal loans secured by securities by reviewing the fair value of collateral to ensure adequate collateralization of at least 100% of the principal amount of the loans. All of these personal loans were fully collateralized by securities with fair values in excess of borrowings at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
4. | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company has clients that sell (i.e., write) listed option contracts that are cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation a clearing house that establishes margin requirements on these transactions. The Company partially satisfies the margin requirements by arranging unsecured standby letter of credit agreements (LOCs), in favor of the Options Clearing Corporation, which are issued by multiple banks. At March 31, 2013, the aggregate face amount of these LOCs totaled $225 million. In connection with its securities lending activities, the Company is required to provide collateral to certain brokerage clients. The Company satisfies the collateral requirements by arranging LOCs in favor of these brokerage clients, which are issued by multiple banks. At March 31, 2013, the aggregate face amount of these LOCs totaled $104 million. There were no funds drawn under any of these LOCs at March 31, 2013.
The Company also provides guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges under standard membership agreements, which require members to guarantee the performance of other members. Under the agreements, if another member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearing houses and exchanges, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. The Companys liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and may exceed the cash and securities it has posted as collateral. However, the potential requirement for the Company to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these guarantees.
Legal contingencies: The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, some of which include claims for substantial or unspecified damages. The Company is also the subject of inquiries, investigations, and proceedings by regulatory and other governmental agencies.
The Company believes it has strong defenses in all significant matters currently pending and is contesting liability and any damages claimed. Nevertheless, some of these matters may result in adverse judgments or awards, including penalties, injunctions or other relief, and the Company may also determine to settle a matter because of the uncertainty and risks of litigation. Described below are certain matters in which there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss could be incurred or where the matter may otherwise be of significant interest to stockholders. With respect to all other pending matters, based on current information and consultation with counsel, it does not appear that the outcome of any such matter could be material to the financial condition, operating results or cash flows of the Company. However, predicting the outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter is inherently difficult, requiring significant judgment and evaluation of various factors, including the procedural status of the matter and any recent developments; prior experience and the experience of others in similar cases; available defenses, including potential opportunities to dispose of a case on the merits or procedural grounds before trial (e.g., motions to dismiss or for summary judgment); the progress of fact discovery; the opinions of counsel and experts regarding potential damages; potential opportunities for settlement and the status of any settlement discussions; and potential insurance coverage and indemnification. Often, as in the case of the Auction Rate Securities Regulatory Inquiries and Total Bond Market Fund Litigation matters described below, it is not possible to reasonably estimate potential liability, if any, or a range of potential liability until the matter is closer to resolution pending, for example, further proceedings, the outcome of key motions or appeals, or discussions among the parties. Numerous issues may have to be developed, such as discovery of important factual matters and determination of threshold legal issues, which may include novel or unsettled questions of law. Reserves are established or adjusted or further disclosure and estimates of potential loss are provided as the matter progresses and more information becomes available.
Auction Rate Securities Regulatory Inquiries: Schwab has been responding to industry wide inquiries from federal and state regulators regarding sales of auction rate securities to clients who were unable to sell their holdings when the normal auction process for those securities froze unexpectedly in February 2008. On August 17, 2009, a civil complaint was filed against Schwab in New York state court by the Attorney General of the State of New York (NYAG) alleging material misrepresentations and omissions by Schwab regarding the risks of auction rate securities, and seeking restitution, disgorgement, penalties and other relief, including repurchase of securities held in client accounts. As reflected in a statement issued August 17, 2009, Schwab has responded that the allegations are without merit, and has been contesting all charges. By order dated October 24, 2011, the court granted Schwabs motion to dismiss the complaint with prejudice. The NYAG has appealed to the Appellate Division, where the case is currently pending.

Total Bond Market Fund Litigation: On August 28, 2008, a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of investors in the Schwab Total Bond Market Fund (Northstar lawsuit). The lawsuit, which alleges violations of state law and federal securities law in connection with the funds investment policy, names Schwab Investments (registrant and issuer of the funds shares) and CSIM as defendants. Allegations include that the fund improperly deviated from its stated investment objectives by investing in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and investing more than 25% of fund assets in CMOs and mortgage-backed securities without obtaining a shareholder vote. Plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and rescission damages, unspecified equitable and injunctive relief, costs and attorneys fees. Plaintiffs federal securities law claim and certain of plaintiffs state law claims were dismissed in proceedings before the court and following a successful petition by defendants to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. On August 8, 2011, the court dismissed plaintiffs remaining claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have again appealed to the Ninth Circuit, where the case is currently pending.
optionsXpress Regulatory Matters: optionsXpress entities and individual employees have been responding to certain pending regulatory matters which predate the Companys acquisition of optionsXpress. On April 16, 2012, optionsXpress, Inc. was charged by the SEC in an administrative proceeding alleging violations of the firms close-out obligations under SEC Regulation SHO (short sale delivery rules) in connection with certain customer trading activity. Trial in the administrative proceeding commenced September 5, 2012. The Company disputes the allegations and is contesting the charges. Separately, on April 19, 2012, the SEC instituted an administrative proceeding alleging violations of the broker-dealer registration requirements by an unregistered optionsXpress entity. On September 5, 2012, the administrative law judge hearing the case ruled on summary disposition that applicable registration requirements were violated. Certain other issues, including relief, remain to be determined at trial. The Company continues to dispute the allegations and is contesting the charges. The Company has a contingent liability associated with the two separate matters, which was not material at March 31, 2013.
5. | Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities |
For a description of the fair value hierarchy and the Companys fair value methodologies, including the use of independent third-party pricing services, see note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company did not transfer any assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, or the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, the Company did not adjust prices received from the primary independent third-party pricing service at March 31, 2013, or December 31, 2012.

Securities lending: Payables from brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations include securities loaned. The Company loans client securities temporarily to other brokers in connection with its securities lending activities and receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in security prices may cause the fair value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities or provide additional cash collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its client obligations. The Company mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, monitoring the fair value of securities loaned, and requiring additional cash as collateral when necessary. The fair value of client securities pledged in securities lending transactions to other broker-dealers was $1.1 billion at March 31, 2013 and $852 million at December 31, 2012. Additionally, the Company borrows securities from other broker-dealers to fulfill short sales by clients, which are included in receivables from brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations. The fair value of these borrowed securities was $279 million at March 31, 2013 and $121 million at December 31, 2012. All of the Companys securities lending transactions are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with other broker-dealers. However, the Company does not net securities lending transactions and therefore, the Companys securities loaned and securities borrowed are presented gross in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Resale agreements: Cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes include securities purchased under agreements to resell (resale agreements), which are collateralized by U.S. Government and agency securities. Schwab enters into collateralized resale agreements principally with other broker-dealers, which could result in losses in the event the counterparty fails to purchase the securities held as collateral for the cash advanced and the fair value of the securities declines. To mitigate this risk, Schwab requires that the counterparty deliver securities to a custodian, to be held as collateral, with a fair value in excess of the resale price. Schwab utilizes the collateral provided under these resale agreements to meet

7. | Earnings Per Common Share |
Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Dilutive potential common shares include the effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock awards and units. EPS under the basic and diluted computations is as follows:

8. | Regulatory Requirements |
CSC is a savings and loan holding company and Schwab Bank, CSCs depository institution subsidiary, is a federal savings bank. CSC is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) and Schwab Bank is subject to supervision and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC). CSC is currently not subject to specific statutory capital requirements, however CSC is required to serve as a source of strength for Schwab Bank. Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, CSC will be subject to new minimum leverage and minimum risk-based capital ratio requirements that will be set by the Federal Reserve that are at least as stringent as the current requirements generally applicable to insured depository institutions.
Schwab Bank is subject to regulation and supervision and to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state laws, including regulatory capital guidelines. Among other things, these requirements also restrict and govern the terms of affiliate transactions, such as extensions of credit and repayment of loans between Schwab Bank and CSC or CSCs other subsidiaries. In addition, Schwab Bank is required to provide notice to and may be required to obtain approval of the OCC and the Federal Reserve to declare dividends to CSC. The federal banking agencies have broad powers to enforce these regulations, including the power to terminate deposit insurance, impose substantial fines and other civil and criminal penalties, and appoint a conservator or receiver. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, Schwab Bank could be subject to restrictive actions if it were to fall within one of the lowest three of five capital categories. Schwab Bank is required to maintain minimum capital levels as specified in federal banking laws and regulations. Failure to meet the minimum levels could result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Schwab Bank. At March 31, 2013, CSC and Schwab Bank met the capital level requirements.

Based on its regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2013, Schwab Bank is considered well capitalized (the highest category) pursuant to banking regulatory guidelines. There are no conditions or events since March 31, 2013, that management believes have changed Schwab Banks capital category.
CSCs principal U.S. broker-dealers are Schwab and optionsXpress, Inc. Schwab and optionsXpress, Inc. are both subject to Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Uniform Net Capital Rule). Schwab and optionsXpress, Inc. compute net capital under the alternative method permitted by the Uniform Net Capital Rule. This method requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, as defined, of the greater of 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from client transactions or a minimum dollar requirement ($250,000 for Schwab), which is based on the type of business conducted by the broker-dealer. Under the alternative method, a broker-dealer may not repay subordinated borrowings, pay cash dividends, or make any unsecured advances or loans to its parent company or employees if such payment would result in a net capital amount of less than 5% of aggregate debit balances or less than 120% of its minimum dollar requirement.
optionsXpress, Inc. is also subject to Commodity Futures Trading Commission Regulation 1.17 (Reg. 1.17) under the Commodity Exchange Act, which also requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. optionsXpress, Inc., as a futures commission merchant, is required to maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of its net capital requirement under Reg. 1.17 ($1 million), or the sum of 8% of the total risk margin requirements for all positions carried in client accounts and 8% of the total risk margin requirements for all positions carried in non-client accounts (as defined in Reg. 1.17).

9. | Segment Information |
The Company structures its operating segments according to its clients and the services provided to those clients. The Companys two reportable segments are Investor Services and Advisor Services. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company realigned its reportable segments as a result of organizational changes. The segment formerly reported as Institutional Services was renamed to Advisor Services. The Retirement Plan Services and Corporate Brokerage Services business units are now part of the Investor Services segment. Prior period segment information has been recast to reflect these organizational changes. The Investor Services segment provides retail brokerage and banking services to individual investors, retirement plan services, and corporate brokerage services. The Advisor Services segment provides custodial, trading, and support services to independent investment advisors, and retirement business services to independent retirement plan advisors and recordkeepers whose plan assets are held at Schwab Bank. Banking revenues and expenses are allocated to the Companys two segments based on which segment services the client.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
OVERVIEW
Management of The Charles Schwab Corporation (CSC) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company) focuses on several key client activity and financial metrics in evaluating the Companys financial position and operating performance. Results for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012 are:

The broad equity markets improved during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012, as the Standard & Poors 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite Index increased 11%, 10%, and 6%, respectively. While the federal funds target rate remained unchanged at a range of zero to 0.25%, the average three-month Treasury Bill yield increased by 2 basis points to 0.08% during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012. At the same time, the average 10-year Treasury yield decreased by 9 basis points to 1.93%.
The Companys key client activity metrics demonstrated strong business momentum during the first quarter of 2013 net new client assets totaled $43.4 billion, up 12% from the first quarter of 2012 and were the highest first quarter core flows since 2000. Total client assets ended the quarter at a record $2.08 trillion, up 14% from the first quarter of 2012. In addition, the Company added 244,000 new brokerage accounts to its client base during the first quarter of 2013, and active brokerage accounts were 8.9 million, up 3% on a year-over-year basis.
For the first quarter of 2013, despite the low interest rate environment and relatively muted trading activity, the Companys growing client base and continued investments in its clients helped net revenues grow by 8% from the first quarter of 2012. Net revenues increased primarily due to increases in asset management and administration fees and net interest revenue and lower net impairment losses on securities, partially offset by a decrease in trading revenue. Asset management and administration fees increased primarily due to increases in mutual fund service fees and advice solutions fees. Net interest revenue increased primarily due to higher balances of interest-earning assets partially offset by the effect of the continued low interest rate environment. Trading revenue decreased primarily due to lower daily average revenue trades.
Expenses excluding interest increased by 9% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits and advertising and market development. Compensation and benefits expense

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
increased primarily due to higher incentive compensation and employee benefits, which included expenses relating to the transition to a new payout schedule for field incentive plans, increased and accelerated health savings account (HSA) contributions, and equity incentive plan changes to vesting for retirement-eligible employees in the first quarter of 2013.
As a result of the growth in net revenues, the Company achieved a pre-tax profit margin of 25.7% in the first quarter of 2013. Overall, net income increased by 6% and return on average common stockholders equity declined slightly to 9% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012.
CURRENT MARKET AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
As discussed above, interest rates remained at low levels during the first quarter of 2013. To the extent rates remain at these low levels, the Companys net interest revenue will continue to be constrained, even as growth in average balances helps to increase such revenue. The low interest rate environment also affects asset management and administration fees. The overall yields on certain Schwab-sponsored money market mutual funds have remained at levels at or below the management fees on those funds. The Company continues to waive a portion of its management fees so that the funds can maintain a positive return to clients. These and other money market mutual funds may not be able to replace maturing securities with securities of equal or higher yields. As a result, the yields on such funds may remain around or decline from their current levels, and therefore below the stated management fees on those funds. To the extent this occurs, asset management and administration fees may be negatively affected.
In 2012, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) issued notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRs) to meet certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and to align current capital rules with the BASEL III capital standards. The NPRs would subject all savings and loan holding companies, including CSC, to consolidated capital requirements. In addition, the NPRs would establish more restrictive capital definitions, higher risk-weightings for certain asset classes, higher minimum capital ratios and capital buffers. The Company expects the capital standard rules to be phased in under an extended time frame after adoption. The comment period for the NPRs ended on October 22, 2012, and the NPRs are subject to further modification. CSC continues to monitor developments in order to assess the impact of the NPRs but does not expect them to have a material impact on the Companys business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Company is pursuing lawsuits in state court in San Francisco for rescission and damages against issuers, underwriters, and dealers of individual non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities on which the Company has experienced realized and unrealized losses. The lawsuits allege that offering documents for the securities contained material untrue and misleading statements about the securities and the underwriting standards and credit quality of the underlying loans. On January 27, 2012, and July 24, 2012, the court denied defendants motions to dismiss the claims with respect to all but 3 of the 51 securities, and discovery is proceeding.
In April 2013, the SEC published notice of a National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) proposed rule change that would impose a supplemental liquidity funding obligation on certain NSCC participants. The stated purpose is to provide the NSCC with sufficient liquidity and financial resources to withstand a default by one of its members. The rule change, as currently proposed, could require the Company to provide a supplemental liquidity deposit. The Company does not have sufficient information to assess the potential impact of the proposed rule change, which is subject to comment and further modification.

Asset Management and Administration Fees
Asset management and administration fees include mutual fund service fees and fees for other asset-based financial services provided to individual and institutional clients. The Company earns mutual fund service fees for shareholder services, administration, and investment management provided to its proprietary funds, and recordkeeping and shareholder services provided to third-party funds. These fees are based upon the daily balances of client assets invested in these funds. The Company also earns asset management fees for advice solutions, which include advisory and managed account services that are based on the daily balances of client assets subject to the specific fee for service. The fair values of client assets included in proprietary and third-party mutual funds are based on quoted market prices and other observable market data. Other asset management and administration fees include various asset based fees, such as third-party mutual fund service fees, trust fees, 401k record keeping fees, and mutual fund clearing and other service fees. Asset management and administration fees vary

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Ratios, or as Noted)
with changes in the balances of client assets due to market fluctuations and client activity. For a discussion of the impact of current market conditions on asset management and administration fees, see Current Market and Regulatory Environment and Other Developments.
Asset management and administration fees increased by $68 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to increases in mutual fund service fees and advice solutions fees.
Mutual fund service fees increased by $37 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to growth in client assets invested in Mutual Fund OneSource funds and an increase in net money market mutual fund fees as a result of improved short-term rates.
Advice solutions fees increased by $24 million, or 17%, in the first quarter of 2013 compared to first quarter of 2012 primarily due to growth in client assets enrolled in retail advisory offers, including Windhaven® and Schwab Private Client.
Net Interest Revenue
Net interest revenue is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on funding sources. Net interest revenue is affected by changes in the volume and mix of these assets and liabilities, as well as by fluctuations in interest rates and portfolio management strategies. The Companys investment strategy is structured to produce an increase in net interest revenue when interest rates rise and, conversely, a decrease in net interest revenue when interest rates fall (i.e., interest-earning assets generally reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities). When interest rates fall, the Company may attempt to mitigate some of this negative impact by extending the maturities of assets in investment portfolios to lock in asset yields, and by lowering rates paid to clients on interest-bearing liabilities. Since the Company establishes the rates paid on certain brokerage client cash balances and deposits from banking clients, as well as the rates charged on receivables from brokerage clients, and also controls the composition of its investment securities, it has some ability to manage its net interest spread. However, the spread is influenced by external factors such as the interest rate environment and competition. The current low interest rate environment limits the extent to which the Company can reduce interest expense paid on funding sources. For discussion of the impact of current market conditions on net interest revenue, see Current Market and Regulatory Environment and Other Developments.
The Companys interest-earning assets are financed primarily by brokerage client cash balances and deposits from banking clients. Non-interest-bearing funding sources include non-interest-bearing brokerage client cash balances and proceeds from stock-lending activities, as well as stockholders equity.
Schwab Bank maintains investment portfolios for liquidity as well as to invest funds from deposits in excess of loans to banking clients and liquidity limits. Schwab Banks securities available for sale include mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, U.S. agency notes, commercial paper, and other securities. Schwab Banks securities held to maturity include mortgage-backed and other securities. Schwab Bank lends funds to banking clients primarily in the form of mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs). These loans are largely funded by interest-bearing deposits from banking clients.
In clearing their clients trades, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab) and optionsXpress, Inc. hold cash balances payable to clients. In most cases, Schwab and optionsXpress, Inc. pay their clients interest on cash balances awaiting investment, and in turn invest these funds and earn interest revenue. Receivables from brokerage clients consist primarily of margin loans to brokerage clients. Margin loans are loans made to clients on a secured basis to purchase securities. Pursuant to applicable regulations, client cash balances that are not used for margin lending are generally segregated into investment accounts that are maintained for the exclusive benefit of clients, which are recorded in cash and investments segregated on the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheets.
