Charles Schwab (ticker: SCHW) is set to release an update on its total client assets and net new money on Friday. This announcement comes at a crucial time as investors closely monitor any signs of attrition among TD Ameritrade clients and advisors. It is worth noting that Schwab’s bank has experienced outflows over the past year, making it even more important to analyze customer attrition.
Schwab issues a monthly activity report and has been in the process of transitioning accounts from TD Ameritrade to its platform. The previous activity report revealed a decline in net new asset flows in July. This drop was attributed to attrition of TD Ameritrade clients and advisors. In July, Schwab reported that core net new assets amounted to $13.7 billion, compared to $33.8 billion in June and $31.5 billion in the same month last year. As a result, the stock fell approximately 4% on that day.
In 2020, Schwab completed its acquisition of TD Ameritrade, leading to significant growth in its brokerage and advisor custody businesses. The integration of these two companies has been a long time in the making. During the Labor Day weekend, Schwab achieved a significant milestone by successfully transitioning thousands of advisors and $1.3 trillion from TD Ameritrade to its platform.
