Financial Guidance

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) offers certain financial guidance services to eligible AARP members (the “Program”). Schwab is an independent registered broker-dealer not affiliated with AARP or any of its affiliates. All brokerage services are performed by Schwab. AARP endorses the Program, but is not a registered broker-dealer and does not provide brokerage services or financial advice and cannot recommend or endorse specific investments in connection with the Program. For the first new account opened at Schwab by an AARP member, Schwab pays AARP a one-time royalty fee for the use of AARP intellectual property (name, logo, and mailing list). These fees are used for the general purpose of AARP and do not increase any fees, commissions, charges, or expenses paid by you to Schwab. Please contact Schwab directly for details.

¹With a qualifying net deposit of $10,000 or more, get $100 and 50 commission-free online trades (the “Award”) credited to your account.

This offer is made available at Schwab’s discretion and is valid from January 7, 2013, through December 31, 2014, for AARP members with a valid AARP number who make a qualifying net deposit into a taxable retail brokerage account. Net deposits must be completed within 45 days of enrollment in the offer (“Enrollment”). Net deposits are assets deposited into the account on or after Enrollment and on or before the 45th day after Enrollment, minus assets withdrawn from the account and transferred out of Schwab during the same time period, and will be calculated daily. Only outside assets new to Schwab qualify. Transfers between Schwab accounts or from Schwab affiliates, for example, do not qualify. The Award will be applied only to the account for which the Award was determined. The Award will be credited to your account within 14 days of confirmation of your qualifying net deposit. You must maintain the net deposit amount (less market losses, if any) at Schwab for at least one year or Schwab may charge back the value of the Award. Free trades apply only to base equity, exchange-traded fund (ETF), and options commissions only. Options per-contract, foreign transaction, exchange, and regulatory fees still apply. Only trades placed through Schwab.com, Schwab trading platform applications, and Schwab Wireless are eligible. Free trades will expire one year after being credited to your account. No credit will be given for unexecuted trades.

This offer is limited to one per AARP member. This offer is valid only for nonprofessional taxable retail brokerage accounts and does not apply to brokerage accounts held with or managed by independent investment advisors, Schwab Global Accounts, IRA accounts, ERISA-covered retirement plans, certain tax-qualified retirement plans and accounts, or education savings accounts. The value of the Award, when combined with the value received from any other Schwab offers in the last 12 months, may not exceed $5,000 per household. Please see the Charles Schwab Pricing Guide for Individual Investors on Schwab.com for information about householding.
