Open your PCRA
You can open an account if: Your provider offers a PCRA® as part of your retirement plan. Check with your benefits department if you’re not sure.
Account service fees: None; however, the retirement plan provider may charge an annual account maintenance fee.
Who’s it for? Experienced investors who seek a wider range of investments and who want to manage their portfolios.
Open the account that lets you:
  • Transfer retirement plan assets into a self-managed account. 
  • Invest in a broader array of investment choices than offered through your retirement plan. 
  • Take advantage of our industry-leading trading, research and monitoring tools.
Because it’s a Schwab account, you can:
  • Decide how to invest your retirement savings and find the right investments using our industry-recognized research and tools. 
  • Choose investments from among several thousand no-load, no-transaction-fee mutual funds in Schwab’s Mutual Fund OneSource® program, including an extensive choice of institutional load-waived funds, as well as stocks, bonds, CDs, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and more. 
  • Use our advanced account monitoring tools to track your progress.
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.
