Trade a wide range of stocks listed on major U.S. exchanges like the NYSE and NASDAQ, as well as over-the-counter (OTC) stocks and more. Stocks are central to many investment strategies and can play a crucial role in building a diversified portfolio.
With Schwab Stock Slices™, you can easily invest in fractions of stocks, allowing you to diversify your portfolio without needing a large investment. It's a simple way to own a piece of leading companies and start building your investment portfolio.
Trade a wide range of over-the-counter (OTC) stocks, including small-cap and international companies.
OTC securities are traded through broker-dealer networks instead of major exchanges, offering access to smaller, emerging, and global companies not typically found on traditional markets.
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) are publicly traded securities, often providing income through regular distributions in sectors like energy and natural resources.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) allow you to invest in portfolios of real estate assets, such as commercial properties or mortgages, offering potential income through dividends and diversification of your investment portfolio.
Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and Direct Public Offerings (DPOs) are two types of new issue stocks that companies offer to raise capital. Investors who meet certain eligibility requirements can participate in these offerings.
International stocks can help to expand your potential investment opportunities globally by accessing international markets. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), foreign ordinaries, Canadian stocks, and more can help potentially diversify your portfolio and allow you to capitalize on worldwide economic growth.
