Schwab Order Execution Advantage™.

When you place trades with Schwab, you're placing your trust in us. That's why we're committed to providing fast, quality executions with the highest level of transparency related to our performance, process, and practices.

Schwab Order Execution Advantage comes from Schwab's regular and rigorous monitoring of order execution quality among competing market venues, and looking for opportunities to adjust our order routing based on performance trends, technological advances, and other competitive developments. It's part of our commitment to putting your interests first and also core to Schwab's Regulation NMS Equity Order Routing.

1. Includes market and marketable limit orders on exchange-listed stocks routed during normal market hours.
*Percentage of orders receiving an execution price better than the National Best Bid or and Offer (NBBO) at the time of order routing.
†For orders larger than the NBBO size, the order-weighted average ratio of shares executed at or better than the NBBO price to shares reflected on the NBBO. For example, if a buy market order for 1,000 shares was completely executed at $9.995 when NBO (national best offer) price and size was $10.00 for 200 shares, then the liquidity vs. displayed quote was 5x (1,000/200).
‡The average time it took orders to receive an execution, measured from the time orders were routed by Schwab to the time they were executed by the market center.
