This morning, the team at the
Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW)
released the Westlake, Texas-based company's
earnings report for the
second quarter of 2025. In that report, among lots of other data*, the Schwab team offers some updates about their fund supermarket and about
Schwab Asset Management's [
profile] proprietary funds. Those proprietary funds accounted for 9.6 percent of the whole company's $5.851 billion in Q2 2025 revenue, while the fund supermarket accounted for 5.5 percent.
Schwab's supermarket brought in $218 million in Q2 2025 revenue from
Mutual Fund OneSource and other third-party NTF (no-transaction-fee) funds, down by $4 million quarter-over-quarter from
Q1 2025 but up by $4 million year-over-year from
Q2 2024. In Q1 2025, 3rd party NTF funds had an average AUM of $350.487 billion on Schwab's platform (down by $9.209 billion
Q/Q but up by $12.289 billion
Y/Y), and Schwab charged those funds an average fee of 25 basis points.
As for non-NTF funds and ETFs, Schwab's supermarket brought in $102 million in Q2 2025 revenue, down by $1 million Q/Q but roughly unchanged Y/Y. In Q2 2025, 3rd party non-NTF mutual funds and ETFs had an average of $603.509 billion in AUM on Schwab's platform (down by $20.138 billion Q/Q but up by $2.607 billion Y/Y), and Schwab charged those funds an average fee of 7bps.
Thus, Schwab's total 3rd party fund supermarket business generated $320 million in Q2 2025 revenue (down by $5 million Q/Q but up by $4 million Y/Y) and had an average Q2 2025 AUM of $953.996 billion.
Meanwhile, Schwab Asset Management's proprietary fund business grew last quarter, driven largely by the firm's money market funds. Schwab's proprietary money funds generated $442 million in Q2 2025 revenue, up by $24 million Q/Q and up by $85 million Y/Y. In Q2 2025, Schwab's money funds held an average of $644.811 billion in AUM (up by $23.337 billion Q/Q and up by $121.146 billion Y/Y), and Schwab charged those funds an average fee of 27bps.
As for Schwab's other proprietary funds — including bond funds, CITs, equity funds, and ETFs — they generated $122 million in Q2 2025 revenue, roughly unchanged Q/Q but up by $10 million Y/Y. In Q2 2025, Schwab's proprietary non-money market funds had an average of $661.793 billion in AUM (up by $3.205 billion Q/Q, up by $95.945 billion Y/Y), and Schwab charged those funds an average fee of 7bps.
Thus, Schwab's total proprietary fund business generated $564 million in Q2 2025 revenue (up by $24 million Q/Q, up by $95 million Y/Y) and had an average Q2 2025 AUM of about $1.307 trillion.
