ANNUAL INITIATIVE AIMS TO EDUCATE AND EMPOWER INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS

From young students to experienced professionals, learn how to get invested and stay invested

WESTLAKE, Texas, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --

BACKGROUND:
Investing is a lifelong journey, not a moment in time, and it is important for people to take charge of their financial future and learn about investing, whatever stage they may be in. For more than 50 years, Charles Schwab has helped investors of all experience levels get started, stay invested through market cycles, and build long-term financial futures. This means offering information for:

• Young or new investors (seeking out educational resources, executing a trade, contributing to 401k)
• Moderately experienced investors (diversifying investments, seeking out financial advisors)
• Seasoned investors (paying it forward by introducing kids to the principles of investing with age-appropriate resources.)
