Setting the standard for ultra-high-net-worth service

Your clients come to you for more than advice. They count on you to navigate the complexity that comes with significant wealth. Whether that's protecting what they've built, planning for what's next, or guiding their legacy across generations, Schwab is built to support advisors like you.

Dedicated expertise and access to exclusive services

Multi-entity structures, sophisticated planning needs, curated lifestyle services for ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients—with stakes like these, having your own Ambassador plus the right support behind you can make all the difference. Discover the Schwab Advisor UHNW Services offer.

A dedicated team that knows your practice

Your dedicated Ambassador gets to know your practice and learns how you work, so they can deliver the resources and expertise you need to serve your clients. You make one call. Your Ambassador makes the rest happen.


Curated access to specialists and services

From trading, structured lending, custom liquidity, and credit solutions to advanced wealth planning and consulting resources, Schwab offers what you need to help you succeed—all connected through your dedicated Ambassador.

An elevated service experience for your clients

Preferred pricing, premium operational support, streamlined processes, and access to luxury lifestyle providers are all coordinated by your Ambassador. Get what you need to deliver at the level your UHNW clients expect.

Purpose-built for family offices

You're the first call for the families you serve. We're here to be the first call for you. From single-family to multi-family offices, you get a team of Schwab professionals, a connected community of peers, and custody tailored to how you work.

Designed to fit your firm

Whether you're managing UHNW clients, serving institutional investors, or running a billion-dollar practice, you'll find the infrastructure and expertise you're looking for to help you grow your practice and deliver for your clients.

Serving UHNW clients at the highest level

Multigenerational planning and high expectations are the norm when you manage UHNW households. Schwab coordinates exclusive specialists and resources in the background, so you can stay focused on your clients.

Delivering results at an institutional scale

Serving endowments, foundations, pension funds, and corporate accounts means you work at a different scale. Schwab has the operational depth you need to deliver the custody, clearing, and capital markets infrastructure your clients expect.

Leading a $1B+ independent practice

Managing a billion-dollar book of business means your clients expect more and your operations get more complex. Schwab has helped more than 1,000 billion-dollar teams go independent,1 with specialized services and infrastructure engineered to meet the moment.

How one advisor built his UHNW practice with Schwab

Jason Fertitta left one of the largest banks in the U.S. to start Americana Partners, an independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firm serving UHNW clients. With Schwab behind them, he and his team built the platform and practice their most sophisticated clients have come to count on.

When you work with Schwab Advisor UHNW Services, you get a dedicated Ambassador who takes the time to learn how your practice operates—and then proactively brings strategies and solutions forward. They also connect you to senior specialists across lending, planning, and trading, while your clients benefit from preferred pricing and you get premium operational support. It's a different level of support, built for the demands that come with managing significant wealth.

Your clients get preferred pricing, streamlined operations, and access to curated lifestyle services—all coordinated through your Ambassador. It's an experience that matches the high standard of service they've come to expect from you.

UHNW services are designed for advisory teams serving ultra-high-net-worth clients with complex, multi-entity planning needs. If your practice has outgrown standard service models, it's worth a conversation.

They get to know your practice, your clients, and how you like to work. When you need something—structured lending, a wealth planning conversation, help with an operational question—you make one call. Your Ambassador coordinates across Schwab's specialists and keeps everything moving.

Schwab has dedicated transition teams that handle the operational side—account repapering, technology integration, the works. Your Ambassador is involved from day one, so by the time your clients are on the platform, the relationship is already in place.
