Schwab Continues Prolific ETF Asset-Gathering Pace

There are now 182 ETFs available on Schwab ETF OneSource. According to a recent Schwab study, “85 percent of investors believe that the ability to trade ETFs without commissions is important. When it comes to evaluating commission-free ETF offerings, choice is paramount. Sixty-nine percent of investors say that having the right selection of ETFs matters most, and 59 percent say that having ETFs that span the broadest number of asset categories is important,” said the firm. At the end of the third quarter, there were $19.4 billion in assets on the OneSource platform. [Popular ETFs on Schwab OneSource]

Schwab’s own lineup of 21 ETFs has also proven popular with cost-conscious investors. For example, the Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF (NYSEArca: SCHE), Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF (NYSEArca: SCHB) and the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEArca: SCHD) all have well over $1 billion in assets under management.
