Charles Schwab is a success story of one of the largest brokers.

“I have a passion for the investor. I myself have always been one of them, and the standard I apply to all of our services is that if it’s good for me as an investor, you’ll see it.” -Charles Schwab, chairman and founder of a brokerage firm of the same name that manages assets worth over $6 trillion.

There’s an old marketing adage: “When everyone is moving in the same direction, chances are your best opportunities are in the opposite direction.” This is one of the maxims that Charles Schwab takes to heart. Turning his back on the boring conventions of Wall Street, he forged his own path and sparked an investment revolution. At a time when most brokers were vying for large institutional clients, Schwab turned his attention to the individual investor. As one of the first brokers to offer low-cost, no-frills trading services, Schwab pioneered the discount brokerage industry and turned a struggling firm into one of the largest brokers in the US.

Schwab, the son of an upper-middle-class lawyer and district attorney, bit himself with an entrepreneurial blunder at an early age. Raised in Woodland, California, a small farming community west of Sacramento, the hard-working Schwab has found plenty of ways to make money, from selling magazine subscriptions to raising backyard chickens. After graduating from high school, Schwab attended Stanford University, where he received a bachelor’s degree in economics in 1959. While working on graduate school at Stanford, Schwab took a job at a local investment advisory service and was promoted after completing his MBA. But Schwab had big plans.

Wanting to be their own boss, Schwab and two friends launched an investor newsletter in 1962. The company quickly grew and expanded to include a $20 million mutual fund. After the market crash in 1969, the state of Texas ordered Schwab to stop accepting mail order from Texans because he was not registered to do business in the state. He challenged the ruling in court, and legal fees left him $100,000 in debt. The undaunted Schwab made a land deal for his uncle, who gratefully paid off the remainder of his debt and offered him an additional $100,000 to start his own business.

With money from his uncle, Schwab opened the first office of Charles Schwab & Co. in San Francisco in 1971. Initially, the company was just one of many struggling young securities firms, with just a dozen employees and about 2,000 clients. Back in 1974, Schwab was still on the rise looking for a niche for his company. Then in 1975, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) abandoned the old fixed rate system for buying and selling securities in favor of negotiated rates. Under the new system, brokers could charge whatever they wanted.

Schwab noticed that most of the established brokerages used the new unregulated system to provide lower rates to their large institutional clients while raising rates for individual investors. Schwab saw his chance and resolutely targeted the small investor market, offering simple services and large commission discounts that were 50% lower than those of his competitors. To afford such discounts and still make money, Schwab abandoned traditional research services, assigned his employees a salary, and automated order processing via computer (one of the first brokerages to do this).

Industry experts were skeptical. They argued that investors should sell stocks through brokers, and people don’t usually buy stocks on their own initiative. But Schwab stuck to his guns, and his company quickly became a leading discount brokerage firm. Schwab continued to break new ground by opening branches and offering 24/7 order taking, free individual retirement accounts, cash management accounts (investment accounts that offer subscribers traditional banking services such as personal checks, credit and debit cards, and financial tracking and management), mutual funds and insurance are all firsts in the industry.

Young Charles Schwab.

By 1981, Schwab had branches in 40 cities, 600 employees, 220,000 customers, and an annual revenue of $42 million. But the company’s rapid expansion began to cut profits, and Schwab had trouble raising capital to finance further growth. To remedy this, Schwab agreed to sell his company to Bank of America in exchange for $57 million worth of BoA stock, making him the bank’s largest individual shareholder.

However, the deal began to deteriorate almost immediately. While Schwab’s group was making significant profits, Bank of America suffered heavy losses. As the bank’s stock plummeted, Schwab urged his colleagues to cut overheads and reorganize, but his pleas fell on deaf ears.

Individual approach.

The main success factor of Charles Schwab & Co. has become a unique marketing strategy in which the photograph of Charles Schwab appears in most of the company’s promotional materials. Schwab was a reluctant model, but as the business grew, photography provided a personal connection between the company and its clients. As one former Schwab executive explains in an interview with Fortune 19 magazine’86: “We were interviewing clients and they were talking about ‘Chuck’ or ‘Charlie’. Photography gave them the opportunity to feel like a person.”

Tough competition.

Although Charles Schwab may be a hero to individual investors, many of his colleagues were openly hostile towards him when he first ventured into the discount brokerage market. At first, Schwab had to fight for places on several stock exchanges. He spent hours fighting rumors spread by rival firms that his company was going out of business. Banks, influenced by rumors, refused to lend him money. And he had a particularly hard time getting office space, as big brokers apparently told landlords they would move out of the buildings if they were leased to Schwab. However, he overcame it all, and ironically, Schwab’s company outlasted many competitors who tried to force him out of business.

After six bad years at Bank of America, Schwab finally had enough. In an unprecedented move, he bought his firm from Bank of America for $230 million in 1987. A few weeks later, he took the company public to raise capital to pay off its $200 million debt and finance further expansion. When Schwab regained control, the company soon returned to profitability and regained its status as the leading discount broker in the US.

Schwab continued to expand throughout the 1990s. Anticipating the Internet boom, she entered e-commerce in 1995 and by the end of the year opened one of the first e.Schwab discount online brokerages. By 1998, e.Schwab had become the #1 online trader, accounting for more than half of the company’s transactions.

Following his instincts rather than listening to “experts”, Charles Schwab created a new form of stock brokerage and paved the way for online trading. It took brokerage out of the hands of powerful and expensive firms, brought stock trading to the masses, and made it easier for individual investors to enjoy the benefits of a wide-open stock market.

Today it is a full-service broker that offers fantastic and diverse investment offers that will satisfy any investor. Schwab’s shining star is its stock market research offering.
