Automatic mutual fund investing made easy
We have launched the new Mutual Fund Automatic Investing Plan digital experience on Schwab Advisor Center, delivering a modern approach to managing dollar-cost averaging for mutual funds. The platform provides a fully digital experience, eliminating the need for a paper application, verbal instructions, and service requests to enroll or make changes to your clients’ systematic investing or redemption needs. The new feature delivers:
- A streamlined digital approach to establishing new or to change current instructions—eliminating paper
- New investment frequencies
- An easy way for investors to establish sell-side transactions and date flexibility
- Support for systematic redemptions
- A reduced transaction fee of $10 or a maximum of 8.5% of principal for mutual funds on the Reduced Transaction Fee list
No Transaction Fee funds will continue to have no commission fee for trades executed through the Mutual Fund Automatic Investing Plan platform.
Dollar-cost averaging instructions have automatically converted to the Mutual Fund Automatic Investing Plan platform, so no action on your part is required. For more information, please visit the Trading page on Schwab Advisor Center and select Automatic MF Investing from the menu or click here for an overview of the platform.

Institutional Intelligent Portfolios is now on Schwab Mobile
To bring you and your clients the most secure and advanced mobile technology Schwab offers, we recently integrated the Institutional Intelligent Portfolios mobile experience with Schwab Mobile.1
The new experience on Schwab Mobile is customized for your clients who have Institutional Intelligent Portfolios accounts and features an improved, made-for-mobile interface. Your firm’s branding and contact information are prominent, with a new Contact Your Advisor screen, and clients can now access their Institutional Intelligent Portfolios accounts and traditional Schwab accounts all in one place. Client logins remain the same.
We plan to retire the standalone Institutional Intelligent Portfolios app mid-October. Clients who still use the standalone app will see a message encouraging them to download and use Schwab Mobile.
This change affects only the mobile experience; the Institutional Intelligent Portfolios website experience that you and your clients know and trust will remain unchanged. The mobile app migration will have no impact on the website-based investor onboarding experience.
For details about the improved Institutional Intelligent Portfolios mobile experience, please view our app migration FAQ.
