Charles Schwab Corp. unveiled a new feature that allows customers to invest in personalized indexes, an increasingly competitive area that appeals to tax-conscious customers.
Clients will be able to invest directly in securities of an index through Schwab Personalized Indexing, according to a statement Thursday from the Westlake, Texas-based brokerage. The approach can help reduce taxes compared to investing in mutual or exchange-traded funds.
