Press Release

Charles Schwab announced today that Schwab ETF OneSource™, the program that offers the most commission-free¹ ETFs anywhere in the industry, is adding one new ETF provider – OppenheimerFunds – and twelve new ETFs to its line-up. With these additions, the program allows investors and advisors to buy and sell 228 ETFs covering 69 Morningstar Categories with $0 online commissions, no enrollment requirements and no early redemption fees – key differentiators for investors comparing Schwab ETF OneSource to other commission-free ETF offerings.

Beginning today, four of the Oppenheimer Revenue Weighted ETF strategies are available to Schwab clients with $0 online trade commissions. OppenheimerFunds joins fifteen other leading ETF providers that participate in the Schwab ETF OneSource program. They include: ALPS, Deutsche Asset Management, Direxion, ETF Securities, Global X Funds, Guggenheim Investments, IndexIQ, John Hancock Investments, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, PIMCO, PowerShares, State Street SPDR® ETFs, USCF, WisdomTree and Charles Schwab Investment Management.

“Schwab ETF OneSource is growing in every way – we’ve added to both our provider and fund ranks in the last year, and continue to offer investors of all sizes the most choice when it comes to commission-free ETFs,” said Heather Fischer, Vice President of ETF Platform Management at Charles Schwab. “Our research indicates that investors and advisors are steadily allocating more of their portfolios to ETFs, and a broad selection of both ETF categories and ETF providers are critical criteria when evaluating ETFs that are available for zero commission online. Schwab ETF OneSource delivers on both, which explains the traction we’ve achieved in just four short years since launching the program.”
