In addition to historical information, this Annual Report to Stockholders contains “forward-
looking statements,” which are identied by words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,”
“intend,” “plan,” “will,” “may,” “estimate,” “aim,” “target,” “could,” “growth,” “commit,” and
other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections, or
other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements, which reect management’s beliefs, objectives, and expectations
as of the date hereof, are necessarily estimates based on the best judgment of the company’s
senior management. These statements relate to, among other things, the company’s investment
in the business, growth, and launch of new products, services, and capabilities (See “Letter
from the Chief Executive Ofcer” and “Letter from the Chief Financial Ofcer”), and expense and
revenue growth (See “Letter from the Chief Financial Ofcer”). Achievement of the expressed
beliefs, objectives, and expectations described in these statements is subject to certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expressed
beliefs, objectives, and expectations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report to
Stockholders. See “Forward-Looking Statements” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 41 in the Form 10-K for a discussion
of important factors that may cause such differences.
The Charles Schwab Corporation, a leading provider of nancial services,
helps millions of individuals who invest on their own, through an
independent investment advisor, or in a company-sponsored retirement
or stock plan.
