Our Custodians: AssetMark Trust and Charles Schwab
While a broker-dealer helps supervise and facilitate the trading that converts your cash into invested assets, those assets are actually held by a custodian. Cetera Financial Specialists works with several custodians. The two custodians we most often work with are AssetMark Trust and Charles Schwab.
AssetMark Trust Company is an integrated custodian that brings AssetMark's client-focused approach to keeping secure custody of client assets. AssetMark Trust was created in 1994 and currently has over $43 billion AUM, serving more than 226,000 investors and advisors.
Charles Schwab & Co. is one of the world’s leading providers of securities services. Founded in 1971, Charles Schwab is an industry-leader with the stability, experience and commitment that allows us to provide the exceptional service you expect.
Both AssetMark Trust and Charles Schwab have to meet certain net capital requirements and are subject to regular audits, both internally and by independent firms, to ensure the appropriate handling, segregation and protection of investors’ assets.
