Teen Time: Financial Literacy for All Ages

Schwab's commitment to our clients extends to serving their families as well. Read how we're preparing the next generation of investors.
March 6, 2026Charles Schwab

I'm a firm believer that financial education is one of the most important ways to empower people. From creating a budget to managing investments and saving for competing goals, financial literacy can help one navigate life with confidence. That's why I've worked hard to pass along this knowledge to my children and grandchildren—and to you, our valued clients and your families.

With that in mind, I'm pleased to introduce Schwab Teen Investor™ accounts, which enable teenagers to save and invest—with parental guidance and guardrails around eligible assets—with no fees or minimums. To support this journey, we've developed a wealth of educational content specifically for teens and new investors, including financial literacy and money management resources through Schwab Moneywise® and our "New to Investing" page.

Whatever your age, our goal at Schwab is to help you take control of your financial future, and we'll continue developing new ways to assist you.
