Read our Custodial IRA Brochure to learn more.
Open the account that lets you:
  • Choose how you open your custodial IRA— as a traditional IRA or as a Roth IRA— so that your minor child benefits from tax-advantaged growth.
  • Manage the account until your child reaches the age of 18 (or 21 in some states).
Because it’s a Schwab account, you can:
  • Decide how your contributions are invested— use our industry-recognized research to choose stocks; bonds; CDs; no-load, no-transaction-fee mutual funds and more; or select a single portfolio solution.
  • Take advantage of Schwab’s retirement planning tools and resources.
  • Get investment guidance from a Schwab investment professional.
Investors should consider carefully information contained in the prospectus, including investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. You can request a prospectus by calling 800-435-4000. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
