Investors fear six trillion dollar brokerage Charles Schwab may collapse after stock plummets
Charles Schwab is one of the largest and most well-known financial services companies in the world. Founded in 1971, the company has grown to become a major player in the investment and brokerage industries, with over $6 trillion in client assets under management.

Its primary role is to oversee and regulate the country's monetary policy, including setting interest rates and controlling the money supply.
