Fixed Income Trading

One call to your Schwab Institutional Fixed Income trader connects you to a full spectrum of individualized services and investment product resources.

Targeted Service

Your dedicated trader expertly navigates the broad field of fixed income products and targets opportunities addressing your investment strategies and execution requirements.

Combining our years of experience and your specific criteria, we carefully assess a variety of products and assist you in constructing top-to-bottom model portfolios. If you seek to balance out a current client portfolio, we quickly locate appropriate individual issues. In both cases, we deliver the complete story to you with competitive prices and unbiased recommendations.

So active fixed income managers stay in sight of new investment opportunities, we survey the marketplace and dispatch alerts on new issues, secondary offerings, and industry news relating to bond holdings in your clients' accounts.

Your Principal Source

Because we have established a multi-source network for fixed income products, our traders work from a variety of resources to find the right bond at the right price. We offer new issues by leveraging strong syndicate relationships with the industry's largest fixed income issuers, banks, and municipalities. We will commit internal capital to make specific issues available where investor interest is strong. Tap into new opportunities daily as we scan both our internal inventory and the substantial order flow we generate from Schwab's Institutional and Retail divisions.
