"In the second quarter, people may have been disappointed that we were a couple of billion dollars less than they anticipated. But you're talking about a $9.4 trillion base, a record base in assets," he said."And June was a wonderful month to buy into the market, a lot of our clients did. So their cash went down a little bit more than anticipated because they bought stocks.

According to Bettinger, there is"confusion" about when customers use Schwab as a fiduciary and when they use Schwab to make"self-directed" investments. As an investment advisor, Bettinger said Schwab ensures that their clients' cash goes into a high-yielding money market fund. But when money management is"self-directed," investments are"completely up to the client," he said.
