For the income you need now and in the future.
Invest in the power of dividend growth.
Why ThomasPartners® Strategies?
When you realize your investments must cover most of the expenses you have today, maintaining your lifestyle in retirement can seem challenging. Greg Thomas, founder of the ThomasPartners strategies, faced this when he reached his own retirement. Like most retirees, he started questioning his financial readiness. His quest to find answers led him to create ThomasPartners strategies.
Today, over 15 years later1, our focus remains the same by helping you achieve and maintain the retirement you want through income-oriented strategies that meet your needs today and in the future.
ThomasPartners Investment Management (ThomasPartners) is a division of Charles Schwab Investment Advisory, Inc.
“When I retired in 1992, I knew exactly what I wanted from my investment strategy: dependable, regular income. And income that kept pace with inflation. I found, though, that typical strategies could deliver one or the other but never both. And that got me thinking.”
—Greg Thomas, Founder and Chief Investment Strategist, ThomasPartners Strategies
One philosophy, two approaches.
ThomasPartners offers two different investment approaches that share a similar philosophy: Dividend Growth and Balanced Income strategies. All ThomasPartners portfolios strive to deliver a reliable source of income to help you reach and maintain your retirement goals.
ThomasPartners Dividend Growth Strategy
This may be the right strategy for you if you’re looking for an equity-building solution designed to complement a broader portfolio.
ThomasPartners Balanced Income Strategies
This may be the right strategy if you want a blend of equities and fixed income based on your risk tolerance.

Past performance does not guarantee future results; the value of investments and the income derived from them can go down as well as up. Future returns and the achievement of stated goals are not guaranteed and a loss of principal may occur.
Diversification strategies do not ensure a profit and do not protect against losses in declining markets. Investments in managed accounts should be considered in view of a larger, more diversified investment portfolio.
There are risks associated with any investment approach, and the ThomasPartners strategies have their own set of risks. First, there are the risks associated with investing in dividend-paying stocks, including but not limited to the risk that stocks in the strategy may reduce or stop paying dividends, affecting the strategy’s ability to generate income. Second, investor sentiment could cause dividend-paying equities to fall out of favor and decrease in price. Third, there are risks associated with investing in fixed income asset classes, including through the use of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that include but are not limited to interest rate risk, credit risk, high yield risk, and government security risk. Please discuss these and other potential risks with your Financial Consultant prior to investing.
